yep 0 for 7
Eddie Milner was the last Red to go 0 for 8. I hope we get back around to Corey

He saw eight pitches
That probably gets him a few more days in the lineup if Walt doesn’t send him packing.

Probably not the time or place....
But…
When the hell is Jay Bruce going to get called up? Corey Patterson has a chance to dip below .200 this week, and there’s a guy raking in AAA… Any reason?

I mean, Dusty can see the .203 batting average, right?
That’s not some fancy schmancy “invented stat.” It’s been in the game for over a century. And no matter what era you’re in, .203 is not good. Now, being a baseball guy, he should know to not keep putting that .203 at the top of the lineup, right?

nope. he pitched yesterday and isn't warming up.
he’s gone so harang can pitch.

I'd almost prefer Arroyo to Harang
Since Arroyo is a softer tosser, it might not be as hard on his arm. Still, I’m almost of the opinion that whoever is pitching just groove a Ryan Franklin special on the first pitch and let this stupid game be over. It’s not worth us totally fucking our pitching staff.

but you can’t prepare for two blown saves in the same game. Although, using Bray instead of Fogg to close the second one would have been a good idea.

he's used to using his starting pitcher for a long time

Is Fogg a pitcher?
I thought he was a backup 3rd baseman or something. I mean, have you seen him pitch?
Where have you gone, Johnny Vander Meer?
Tim Wakefield was a 2nd baseman
Or something before he learned the art of Knuckleball.
Beware the toothpick knows.
We drafted Trevor Hoffman as a shortstop
Everyone always says he should have stayed with us. I tend to think that we would have kept him as a mediocre shortstop, instead of the all-time saves leader. But our bullpen has been fine without him.

Harang is awesome
Harang should be pouting for a trade. Last year the bullpen kept blowing his saves, now he has to go in and save the bullpen. This year, he’s getting no run support.
Why isn’t he demanding to be traded? Grif is treated with velvet gloves when Harang has been a rock star. Volquez is shiny and new but Harang has shown a fantastic consistency in being the Reds ace.
Here’s to you. Mr. Harang.
If you're not having fun, stop participating.
Just stopped by.
I sure am glad Coredero was used last night for a 28-pitch inning in a 7-2 game. That surely did not contribute to him blowing the save…

Me and gejoe were talking 3 hours ago about him going for Mendoza, but he’s gonna do it if he gets another at bat!

We can end the game right now by having Corey Patterson pitch. He will go 0-9 with 3 Ks and get the loss too. Maybe then, he might get DFA’d because he sucks enough.
