At least it wasn't Grady Little.

Can we add that strikeout to Volquez's total?

Affeldt isn’t going to do anything with it.

Is that

a little prayer he’s mumbling before each pitch?

What happened to you dude?

Me & obc were there and hooked up, I thought you were gonna call? Or was the rearing too much to handle? (which I totally understand BTW)

wait wait wait

Please don’t ever again say that you “hooked up” with Bill at a Reds game ‘cause I’m going to think that it means you disappeared for three innings and missed the walk-off homer, if you know what I’m sayin’

i think we all know what you're saying...

they went and played a game of pitch and catch at the ole ball park

Neighbor with the tix

screwed me over. He didn’t get home to meet us ‘til 1:30 and by that time it was nap time. I was fuming. I was gonna call you back but I didn’t think venting about my jack-off neighbor was the way to go at that point. Sorry.

Never thought I'd be able to say this...

Three Reds starters are in the MLB top-10 in strikeouts, with one of them leading the way with 52.

I can’t remember when we had a starting staff that got as many swings and misses as this one, and Homer isn’t even up with the big club yet.

I also can’t remember when we ever had a starting staff with two guys who have fastballs that sit around 94-96 mph.

At least it wasn't Grady Little.

I know it!

That’s what makes the team’s early offensive woes so dagnab frustrating

by rojosoto on May 7, 2008 3:44 PM EDT to parent up reply reply   0 recs

Run support

Volquez now with 44 runs in support over 7 starts
Cueto only 19 runs scored in his 7 starts

Media keeps saying Harang has the worst team run support, but Cueto has him beat in that department.

by rojosoto on May 7, 2008 3:43 PM EDT reply reply   0 recs

I'd call Harang's 22 over 8 starts just as bad.

Arroyo has 28 in 7 starts
Foggy had 19 in 3 starts
Belisle has 14 in 3 starts

If only we could move Arroyo’s, Fogg’s, and Belisle’s runs to Cueto and Harang, we’d be at .500. And 2 of every 5 games would be awful to watch.
