Complete Coverage >



W-L ERA WHIP K BB
2008 - Aaron Cook 12-6 3.58 1.27 69 32



W-L ERA WHIP K BB
2008 - Edinson Volquez 12-3 2.49 1.28 129 59


Two All Stars face off tonight as the Reds continue their push toward .500.  Did you know the Reds have the 7th most wins in the NL?  Impressive, I know.  Seriously though, I know a winning season is a lame goal and all, but I need a goal at this point, so even if it is just 82-80, I'm rooting for them to bring home a winning record.  That, and I'd like to see them catch and pass the Cardinals.  They are 6.5 behind the Redbirds right now.  I don't know if they can get 'em, but 3rd place in this division wouldn't be a total failure.

This quote came from Dicky Lyons about Georgia QB Matthew Stafford at SEC Media Days. I think it's funny

“I actually had a dream about Matt Stafford last night. You want me to tell you the dream? I’ll tell you. Well, I just got engaged to my fiance and I’ve been having these crazy dreams about her leaving me. Cosmo says its natural. So I’m having this dream that she’s leaving me and I went out following her because, you know, I had suspicions. I find her at a bar and so up to her and trying to say, ‘What are you doing?’ and she tells me she doesn’t want to marry me so I’m trying to shake her and slap her to get her to focus. I turn around and Matt Stafford punches me in the nose and said, ‘You don’t hit women.’ All the sudden the backup quarterback that is now at Delta State, Blake Barnes, comes hitting me and I’m fighting all these quarterbacks from the Manning camp start jumping in. I was doing pretty well fighting them off, twisting their arms because I know all these Army Ranger moves in my dream. I was laughing about it so I texted (Stafford) and told him. He didn’t respond. I don’t know if he likes me that much."

This from Jayson Stark

Even with the trading deadline less than a week away, the Reds have had very little action on Adam Dunn. But one club that spoke with the Reds says the Yankees have explored what it would take to plug Dunn into their revolving outfield/DH vacancies. The Reds, however, are continuing to ask teams for one top-of-the-line prospect and one second-tier prospect. And that’s probably more than the Yankees are inclined to give up for Dunn.

The Yankees are desperate

This is the team that freaked out at the idea of losing Chad Moeller.

They’ve been ravaged by injuries this year (perhaps not surprising given the team’s age). Posada and Matsui may be facing season-ending surgery. Damon has been injured, too. Melky’s not injured, he just sucks.

I guess Dunn would be to replace Matsui/Damon in left field, but what the Yanks really need is a right-handed slugger who can play good defense. Ideally, CF. And a good catcher. But those kinds of players aren’t exactly thick on the ground.

However, the other big rumor these days is Barry Bonds. I’d rather have Dunn.

Sept 5/6/7

Final home games vs. the Cubs this year, who wants to go and rub it in that they’re four games behind the Brewers after their great start?

I think the Phils/Mets get the WC

Remember, these are the Cubs. They won’t be content with fucking it up by not winning the division, they will fuck it up by missing the playoffs altogether. They’re the person you hear about on the news who sent a $2 million lotto ticket through the washing machine.

Games like this one

and the one Monday night versus the Padres make me feel like crap. It is also the type of game where fans pretty much wave the white flag on the season along with management.

A dumb question to be sure

But I’ve never understood not giving a great hitter the green light on 3-0. It’s ALWAYS bothered me. Everyone knows exactly what’s coming – a fastball down the middle of the plate. Why not give one the world’s best athletes a chance to drive that crap 450 feet?

If it's a great hitter,

Nibbling for most hitters

but when a great hitter is up 3-0, I feel like you get the unintentional-intentional BB more often than a belt-high fastball.

I hear ya

But I can’t believe that you don’t occasionally give them the green light just to keep people honest, if nothing else.

Not down by 6 runs

The base runner is important and at that point putting the ball in play could be counter productive. But yeah, you’d think you’d see it a little more often.

Apparently didn’t miss much….How come Dustbag’s still leading off w/Bruce ? Why is Andy Phillips on this team and what is wrong with Voltron?

Tune in tomorrow, Masterbunters….When Dusty will regale us with warm and sincere doubletalk and prattle, but probably make no significant changes other than starting LLM and Cophat.
