I just wanted you to see this if you missed it in the prior thread.

I am against useing Mercker considering his use would mean a Reds lose.

remeber that time that Arroyo finally got himself on track

after a lapse of command and velocity, and Dusty imediatly pitched him on 3 days rest after a 110+ pitch outing, and he is going to push 120 this time?

I kinda like Huey

gotta love a southern populist/facisit, who was pure evil but could get shit down. He provided free text books to the students of Louisiana, even the Black ones. Upgraded the road system, and several other cool things.

His brother who’s name escapes me at the moment served in the Senate and had a drinking problem, because of that the Democrats stripped him of his power, chairmenships and what not, and he was replaced by Ted Kennedy. That is irony.

i was looking through Arroyo's history on rotoworld

goes back to spring of 2003 when the Red Soxs claimed him off of waivers. He seems to be consitantly inconsistant going all the back to his early days in Boston. He would be unhittable for a stretch, and put up a double digit ERA over the course of 5 starts. I guess the curveball is why, when he commands it he is great, and when he loses command of it he is awful.

why Arroyo has to have 30-40 pitches

atleast that is Dusty’s normal thought process. Arroyo is old school, and is supposed to beable to throw 150 pitch CG’s every 4 days.

If he can get through the 8th painlessly, I’d put him in for the 9th too. Saves the rest of the pen and removes the temptation for Dusty to use him tomorrow.

So my wife just gave me tix to Sunday's game as an early birthday present

To get them, she emailed Jeff & Jen from Q102 for some kind of “Tell us what we need to do for you to listen to us” thing. She asked for good seats for this weekend series for my birthday and got them. So, if you want free tix, apparently all you have to do is promise that you’ll listen to Jeff & Jen on Q102. (But you don’t really have to listen, they won’t know.)

Four tix in section 222. I was disappointed that it wasn’t section 227 so that I could sit with Marla Gibbs and Jackée.

That is some of the worst managing I have ever seen. You leave in an average reliever to give up runs and load up the basepaths? Not even Bob Boone would do that!

no i remember a game in which the reds where down 5 runs in the 9th

and he had I think Sulivan in or atleast some right hander to pitch the last 2 innings, but after getting 2 outs in the 9th a lefty was due up and he made a pitching change.
