that's not a reverse jinx, buckeye

it doesn’t require luck, it requires a razor and commitment to the 21st century.

Votto will not get a hit.

I get tired of the free swinging sometimes

See more than 2 pitches, and you might get something to hit, EdE

what the hell happened to him

rotoworld has something from last june or july 2007 saying he was a few rehab starts away from returning. I can’t find anything else about him.

You betcha

Faith kept him around much longer than practical. I miss Slyde’s bionic Claussen photo.

by Brian B on May 21, 2008 12:20 AM EDT to parent up   0 recs

he never returned

Hasn’t recovered from his arm problems. At least, not yet.

I assumed as much

but did he just shut it down, more surgery, does he even have a contract?

I always liked him too

Especially since he was the return on the Aaron Boone deal. Also, two of his B-R comps are Osvaldo Fernandez and Luke Hudson. Figures.

yesterday as Dusty ordered two IBBs,

I assumed he must be trying to get fired. That shit was ridiculous. I know Stormy would’ve lost the game regardless.

Why would he know that?

This is the guy who refused to take Pierre out of the leadoff slot when he led the league in outs.

he probably could use a day off. It seemed to help EdE immensely

Nope, Votto.

Hatte coming in.

I would like to hear Dusty mic'd up

Timeout, Dusty comes in to make a double switch. “Uh, yeah I’d like to remove my pitcher, and I’d like to remove my head from my asshole.”

Been watching this game on TV - George and Chris very enjoyable tonight

Belizzle looked mighty good…But I fear that the Reds have been abandoned by Cool God.
Time for Jr, BP, EdE and Dunn – 4 straight solo shots.
