Washington Nationals at Cincinnati Reds, Jul 4, 2008 1:15 PM EDT

Rain might be a factor today, which is a shame since it's the 4th of July and all. It'd be nice if Bronson could follow up his last start against the Indians with more of the same. The bad news on Bergmann is that he hasn't given up more than one earned run in any of his last three starts. The good news is that the Nats have still managed to lose two of those three starts. He doesn't walk too many hitters, so aggressiveness at the plate may not be a bad thing. Hopefully the Reds can make a dent off of this right-hander.
Happy Independence Day everybody (except for Gray)! Be safe! Don't go blowing any fingers off with firecrackers. You need them for typing!

Also
American Joey ‘Jaws’ Chestnut defends his mustard yellow belt aginst 6 time champion Takeru Kobayashi at the Nathan’s Hot Dog Eathing Contest. Also look for American Sonya Thomas, the Black Widow, to possibly challenge for third. It’s on ESPN at noon.

kobayashi does not look good
he looks a lot smaller than in the past few years and now resembles more of himself from 6 or 7 years ago. They’re getting ready to profile some sort of “problem”... what’s wrong with him?

Seems like the jaw problem that supposedly hurt him last year
I think it’s just a psychological ploy.

yeah
the production value on that piece was terrible… i couldnt tell what the translator was saying at all. but it did seem to be the jaw. still doesnt explain his skinny physique. I’ve got Chestnut to repeat

here
—Aaron Harang will be skipped tomorrow. Harang has tightness in his forearm. He dealt with the same thing last year. Skipping one start remedied it.

if he has a few good starts we can move him before the trade deadline. I dont know that he will, but I’m hopeful.

Why did they even activate Hopper?
Fay says he’s been dealing with the problem all year. He was clearly not 100%. Couldn’t throw, couldn’t swing the bat. Why activate him and put him on the roster? Were they really that desperate that they couldn’t do without Norris Hopper?

I havent been around for a few days
so i dont know if this has been discussed or not, but the USA Today did the Josh Hamilton story all over again, only this time it has some stuff about his experience in the Reds’ clubhouse:
He has ventured out a few times with teammates and says he feels more accepted by his Texas teammates than in Cincinnati last year, when no one invited him out. He sensed jealousy and perhaps resentment over the attention his comeback story received“I even heard comments that I was signing too many autographs for the fans,” he says. “It just got worse as the year went on.”
The discord played no factor in the trade, but, Krivsky said: “There were issues in the clubhouse. Maybe that stuff would have gone by the boards had he stayed.”
If that’s true, it’s pretty embarassing. Which player made a comment that Hamilton was signing too many autographs? As a fan, that’s a dusturbing sentiment.

Shouldn't umps be held accountable for bad calls?
It seems like there should be some kind of system for it if they completely blow a call like that, maybe a few game suspension or something.

While both local and national outlets have reported this deal is bogus, it is entirely possible that it is merely on hold.Obviously nothing would happen today on the Arroyo front (pitching, singing today) but don’t rule it out completely.
Keep your eye on Weathers though. The calm before the storm?

Arroyo on the rain delay...
"This is the best I’ve felt during a day game," said Arroyo, whose last start was a day game and whose next outing in Chicago also is scheduled to start during the day. "I think the start being pushed back a couple of hours helped. It gave me a chance to wake up and feel a little more normal."

had time for a couple of long island iced teas and a bromo and vodkas. good to see that # milliom+ that Bob’s paying for Corey to come in a rest Dunn is paying off big. Why is Andy Phillips on this team?
Anyway Happy 4th again.
Sorry to have missed this game. Nice to see Dunn with a couple hits. I see that Andy is still batting like .143 or something…Corey still hanging in there at .188 – excellent productvivty for 3Million
