I said that awhile back

Maybe not about Fogg specifically, but just grooving a pitch. I think it was right before Harang came in. And he was incredibly impressive, but you just know that’s gonna come back to fuck us. If we were in the middle of the race and every game counts, then fine, balls out try to win this game. But we aren’t. The west coast trip has been bad, and who cares if we blow another game. But now we’re going to be fucked for awhile.

someone with some web moxy and a few spare dollars and free time should make a website that simply chronicles Dusty Bakers managing mistakes. No real content, no hard hitting criticism, no adjectives, just listing the mistakes. They would pile up quickly. This game alone would provide a bunch. Maybe Bob C would see it and get the picture.

god the pitching staff is going to be fucked up for a while, even with the off day tomorow. Harang can’t pitch on Wednesday. I would also like to see Volquez pushed back a day. Perhaps Fogghorn could get a start, maybe demote Belisle and callup Ramirez (tuesday’s starter for Louisville) tuesday to give the Reds a fresh long reliever, and if he isn’t used Tuesday start him on Wednesday, and if he is used Tuesday call up Tom Shearn, and to make room for Shearn demote Ramirez and place Gonzo on the 60 day DL (it won’t effect when he cna return because it will be retroactive to March). Keep Cueto on schedule for Tuesday and Arroyo on schedule for Friday, and start Fogg on Thursday.
