Homer Bailey's FIRST win of the season!

The last time we faced Josh Banks

He went mano a mano with Aaron Harang in relief during that 18 inning atrocity. Well, Harang may no longer be here, but I have every confidence hat Homer will smite this Banks fellow. By the Hammer of Grabthar, Harang shall be avenged!

by Brendanukkah on Jul 21, 2008 5:06 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

That's a good point.

In a way, if Banks wouldn’t have pitched so well in that relief appearance, Aaron’s arm wouldn’t be ruined for half of the season. Ergo, Josh Banks is responsible for Aaron on the DL. Get’m, David Dewitt!

Well

I think would could package like Weathers and Ross to FLA or Affeldt (since they had interest in the offseason) and Bako to the NYY.

I’d like to get Eulogio de la Cruz in a Reds uni or maybe just add some low minors high upside guys.

My worry is if we trade Arroyo then it leaves Volquez and Cueto prolly throwing too many pitches/innnings on the season. But we if get something we need like Max Ramirez, then pull the damn trigger.

Bailey had a great quote about Jim Maloney

but of course I forgot it. Basically, Bailey had no idea who he was, saw him on the “this day in Reds history” on the scoreboard all the time, BBRef’ed him, and was like “shit”.

Why isn't Mario Soto the Reds pitching coach?

One of the best pitchers in Reds history, was a Red for his entire career, originally from the DR so he speaks Spanish, one of the best change-ups in Reds history…. isn’t named Dick Pole… I think he’s distinguished enough.
