I dunno

It’s kind of a tie this season when it comes to baseball disappointments.

And now the Royals are leading by 1 run (on a Mo wild pitch). Justin Christian just got picked off in the bottom of ninth. Arrrghhhh.

im cool with that

but Alonso probably wont even play organized baseball until the fall leagues. so lets move Votto to LF and keep LLM at 1B. he’s made some good catches and would probably hit 30 HRs if he got regular playing time.

by Charlie Scrabbles on Aug 15, 2008 11:41 PM EDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

I agree....

The season is lost already, we might as well start transitioning Votto into LF as soon as we can. Give him some reg season experience so he has some idea what he’s doing before ST…

And 30 HR should allow for lots of chants of “LLM!!”

Reds also sign 16 year old stud

From Rob Butcher:

The Reds have announced the signing of premier Venezuelan CF Yorman Rodriguez. The high profile, 5-tool player turned 16 years old today.
  “Yorman is one of the premier position players in Latin America,” said Reds Senior Director of Scouting Chris Buckley. “In Rodriguez and Juan Duran, we’ve signed 2 of the top players available in that market and consider both to be first-round draft picks. This organization has made great progress in international scouting.”

alonso and rodriguez are both signed today. after the seemingly unending parade of gut punches this team hit me with the past few weeks, this goes a long way in making amends. this is so dang coool. and thats an extra “o” on the cool cuz its so cool.

by Charlie Scrabbles on Aug 16, 2008 12:17 AM EDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

back to Yonder at 3B for a sec

Alfonso gets a MLB contract?…EdE to Left Field, seems doubtful. He may be gone sooner than later.
It is a ways off but w/out EdE…So that would leave

Dickerson LH
Kepp RH
Bruce LH
BP RH
Alsfonso LH
Votto LH
Patterson (as it stands now) LH
Bako LH

So much for getting a RH hitter with some pop. Although I know the Reds could pul;l something off at the end of the season or before ST but the FA pool in very low. If Alfonso is MLB ready just put him at 1st and see what happens, Votto in left and keep EdE. What’s so wrong about that?

Jack Cust just homered off Shhh Dotel to tie the game up at 4 in the 8th.

I used to hate Hawk and whoever he calls the game with. But they’re growing on me. They really make each game sound like it’s important and not like it’s a game show that will be on again tomorrow with the same tired sponsors.

He appears like the kind of player who would move rapidly through the minors ala Dunn/Bruce…the sooner the better.

The Reds

have a space on the 40-man now, and are apparently planning for there to be a lot more at the end of the season.

I suppose it’s good that Pwings didn’t clear waivers, because if he did, the Reds wouldn’t have a roster spot for Alonso.

Dusty is a slippery old fucker

He’s probably selling that new age small ball shit to Uncle Jocko and Big Bob at this very minute. What if Yonder gets the in 2010….Sadly Dustbag will most likely be ‘managing’ the Reds.

You can tell your uncle stuff that you could not tell your dad. That is kind of the role of an uncle. I feel very much like a father sometimes but sometimes I feel like a teammate.

Also remember

in 2012 the poles flip and the calendar starts running back the opposite way.

Look I know the Georgians and the Russians are at it again

But do you have to bring the Poles into this?

Unless you’re referring to Mr. amd Mrs Dickhead Poles…

well guys,

my plane leaves Sunday Morning for Denver. I’ll be very busy over the next 2 weeks, but maybe I can find enough time to squeeze in a Reds game at Coors, but I doubt it. Hopefully I will score some tickets to see Obama in person. I’ll say hello to Dennis Kucinich for you.

So you get to go to Denver..you lucky fuck

I had to go to a new age funeral today and barely got back in time for the loss. I know you’ll have a helluva time in Colorado…but watch out because the fucking New Agers are all over the place out there with healing baths, wind lessons, inter dimensional spirit guides and their leader the most celibate Grand Phantsom is Dennis fucking Kucinich.

Is your

Congrats, You ARE a lucky fuck

I was one vote from delegacy, or I’d be joining you. If you get to see Barack I’ll be even more jealous, since I’m out here in Eric Rudolph country trying to get racists to vote for him.

and not piss off one of ONU’s Poli Sci Prof’s. Getting to see Obama will be more difficult.

Dennis Kucinich

Is taller than you might expect.

I'm sure

I always think of him as one of the little ruffians from the Lollipop Guild.

I saw him in person when I was in DC

i walked out of my hotel to go to starbucks, and i remember thinking that is a really tall woman with a really short man, wow that man kinda looks like Dennis Kucinich, wow that is Dennis Kucinich. His wife is really hot in person. I said “good morning congressman” and he said “good morning sir”.
