They are probably calling him Joey $&%^^#* Votto over at Bleed Cubbie Blue right now.

At least it wasn't Grady Little.

Bleed Cubbie Bleed

He's extremely quick and good.

Can we add that strikeout to Volquez's total?

Affeldt isn’t going to do anything with it.

by Brendanukkah on May 7, 2008 3:34 PM EDT reply reply   0 recs

Is that

a little prayer he’s mumbling before each pitch?

by Pops Daniels on May 7, 2008 3:37 PM EDT to parent up reply reply   0 recs

I though he walked his first time up?

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.

No worries brother

I’ve had that happen, it sucks. We’ll catch up next time.

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.
