Damn you
I wanted to be first. But instead I’m going to see Hancock with the lil lady. I leave you fine people with today’s gem from craigslist missed connections:
Infamous western hills station wagon – m4m – 20 (West Side)
Ok, if any of you live around western hills or ever hang out up there you will probably see me… at least once a night… Im the dude with the station wagon looks like a limo… lit up like a fuckin christmas tree. If any of you are interested, let me know… maybe we can meet or hang out. Really on here cuz I see alot of goodlookin guys up there all the time. Let me know.
I understand that he didn’t write it, but I would LOVE to see his face if/when someone approaches him.

Speaking of the summer superhero movies\
Heath Ledger absolutely went out with a bang with his amazing performance in The Dark Knight. Although its overlong and some of the non-joker sequences and plot points drag a bit, I thought it was better than Batman Begins in every way. But of course its my opinion, so take it with a grain of salt

well played by whoever entered that rimjobs comment.
So which one of us is TheDecline19?
But I like this actual quote from the article, too:
“Instead of calling up Patterson to regain his role as starting center fielder, the Cubs activated three disabled players and started Jose Macias in center”
yeah…that’s a bad sign for your future career.

this is sort of a big series, and Maine seems like the sort of pitcher the Reds tend to beat the stuffing out of. I’m hoping for a good night.

Strangely enough
I was invited to a free Joan Jett concert tonight. If I’d gone, I would have gotten you your picture.
As it is, this is the best I can do.

anyone notice the ESPN hype over the 10 game win streak by the Mets?
I wonder if they give any coverage to tonight’s loss

You know
I’d never root for the Reds to lose but there are many reasons why losing more now would benefit the club in the long run (if they decide to jettison the vets that they can- excluding Dunn). I’m afraid of one more year of Griffey, Hairston, LLM, Weathers, Freel, Hopper, Bako. Youth is the only way to go now.

they were only 7 games out at the break
with the “light” scheudle coming up (Astros, Rockies, Nationals) they could make up some ground. Plus there are a lot of division games left

I went to tonight's game:
Bronson really looked good. If he continues to pitch with the same consistent mechanics I’d be wanting to keep him. Mets are a good fiesty team, Bronson kept them off balance and the defense did the job.
Bruce looking better, more confident…more patient.
Kepp, BP, Votto – A ok
EdE and Dunn look on the verge of really going on a steak.
I hope that we can trade Bako and Griffey ASAP.
Was pleased that Dusty left Dunn in to finish he game…no Patterson = wins
Grig cannot continue to hit 3rd.
BP cannot continue to hit 4th.
Dusty must see this? But because there has been some improvement he’s probably not willing to make the necessary changes.
Other good tings about tonight – 32,000 fans
No Copat
No Weathers
No A. Phillips.
I agree with Pops – get rid of Freel, Noho, Weathers, Grif and Bako
I think Cherry is a good all around bench player…
Go reds.

Heh
Was that really a flap, or just the latest LGT protest? I like Soria’s new nickname but I can see how some might find it distasteful. But “Black Sabbathia” doens’t refer to any kind of stereotype whatsoever unless we’re talking about middle-aged African American metal heads.

There's enough of those to form a stereotype?

Man...
People on the FB app will not shut up about how bad they think Dunn is… Worse, none of their arguments make ANY sense. Some people should not be entitled to opinions. (Ask BK).

some musings
On Corrdero
Rotoworld thinks that he was a terrible signing because he only conerts 79% of his saves. Which is bad… But the Reds had nobody else in line to be the closer, they had no idea if Burton could repeat 2007. Also I feel like his addition has helped solidify the bullpen overall. There is a pretty clear path of Bray/Weathers, Burton, Cordero, to take care of the last 3 innings. It isn’t Myers, Charlton, and Dibble, but it also isn’t Jones, Reidling and Graves. I dont’ cringe when a starting pitcher has a pitch count of 100 in 6 innings because I feel like the bullpen is going to give the game away. I guess part of that is also Mike Lincoln, and Affeldt are solid pitchers, for the position they are in. The only weak point is Majewski, and he is over used, he really should be relegated to mop up work, I hate seeing him pitch in crucial situaitons.
On Arroyo
What is wrong wtih him? I mean he is either brilliant or awful. He has 8 pretty good starts and about 2 medicore starts, and 10 or 11 bad starts. I would almost like to see the Reds shut him down for a while, if he goes into another tail spin.

Muse... I like that band...
Seriously though… He’s only converted 79% of his saves? That’s kind of surprising… He can’t have had too many opportunities than…

plus the rest of his stats are good
i’d rather have that, because it just shows he hasn’t been lucky, than Joe Borowski.

Coco's blown saves
- 5/14 (FLA) – pitching in the third straight game
- 5/25 (@ SDP) – threw two innings, also in for the third straight day
- 6/7 (@ FLA) – hadn’t thrown in three days
- 7/5 (WAS) – throwing in the third consecutive game (and on 7/4 he “saved” a 3-0 game)
- 7/17 (NYM) – first game after the ASB
So three of the blown saves occurred when Coco was asked to go in for a third straight game (btw, I’m seeing an 80% save rate – 20/25; not sure where Rotoworld is pulling 79% from). Take those three out and he’s over 90%. I know we expect invincibility for $46mm, but Baker needs to realize Cordero’s limitations. Not that I think most closers can or should be expected to go three days in a row.

I agree on Coco
But something deep inside of me wants us to maybe explore the option of dealing him. I’m not saying trade him, I’m just saying explore it. We prolly wouldn’t have to eat any contract and a contender would prolly shell out something very good for him. Possibly the Dodgers with Saito going down, Tampa with Percival going down, or the Yankees or Red Sox.
Then we could throw 50 million for 3 years at K-Rod and have the best closer in the league. (Okay I’m dreaming)
I also believe Burton and Bray are going to be very good and Josh Roenicke is our near future closer and Danny Ray could be well above average in the MLB’s
But honestly we need to hope for Arroyo to have continued success and explore dealing him as well as Stormy and Affeldt. We have some depth at the upper levels to take the hit of losing those three.
