that's not a reverse jinx, buckeye

the vaudeville comedian of the Reds’ staff.

I get tired of the free swinging sometimes
See more than 2 pitches, and you might get something to hit, EdE

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.

Would be close to Dusty’s response.

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.
Jeff, we hardly knew ye...
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.
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.”
that's so patrick swayze of you!

They actually lampooned themselves I think
I hate it even more.

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.

He has long outlived his usefullness.

I heard him mention it the other day..
but I was fading in and out of sleep.
He likes that one? Huh.
Not that I’ve given it a lot of thought, but when I have, I’ve thought that most Randy Newman songs would be pretty okay if there were no vocals and no instrumentation other than piano. And no ballads.

I edited a magazine piece about 7 years ago
that was basically a gushing appeciation of Good Ole Boys (and “Louisiana 1927” in particular). I bought the album to listen to as I was working on the piece and found myself confounded by the author’s claims about the depth, subtleties and insight of the lyrics. The whole thing seemed pretty pedestrian to me.

Louisiana 1927
was kind of interesting in the aftermath of Katrina. Now it’s back to being unmemorable though.

RE: Newman
I don’t know what this is, but I know it’s not genius and yet it somehow passes for “the genius of Randy Newman.”
I think it might be nothing more than a lazy, rambling, piano-tinkling sophomoric editorial.

Tidbits
The Reds highest leverage at-bat of the game (according to leverage index at FanGraphs) was Brandon Phillip’s 6th inning at-bat where he ended up grounding into a double play. The Dodgers highest leverage at-bat, was in the 2nd inning when Chad Billingsley singled in the Dodgers second run. Bad timing for the Reds, but good timing for the boys n blue.

Soccer omens ***SPOILER ALERT***
Reds over Blues in the Champions League! Manchester United beat Chelsea 6-5 on penalty kicks in the matchup between two of the most unloved teams on the planet.
But hey, I look at it as a good omen. Surely the Cincinnati Reds will triumph over the soulless Dodger Blues tonight!
U-N-I, T-E-D!
United is the team for me!
With a knick, knack, paddywhack
Give a dog a bone.
Fuck off, Chelsea.
Fuck off home.
That game had everything.
The only disappointing thing is that both teams couldn’t lose, but at least it was exciting.
