Wow, that's sudden

Didn’t even tell people he was sick it looks like.

How can such a good looking man be so bad at getting to first base?

Holy crap

I read that as meaning he told people about it Sunday, but you’re right. Imagine going to the Dr. and dying of cancer four days later. Damn.

pancreatic cancer is some bad shit

He probably ignored the symptoms for a long time, but it likely didn’t matter. Pancreatic cancer is pretty much a death sentence.

I’m more a hello man and a welcome man than a good-bye man. And to me Adam Dunn was more a person than a player.

This is a pitching matchup you just gotta like for the Reds.

Oh wait, teams don’t really play for draft position in baseball, do they?

no, especially since the best the Reds will likely do is get 4th

There’s no way they catch the Nationals.

d'oh

sorry, I meant 3rd. But then, that’s only if they catch the Padres. Right now they’d be 7th or 9th, I think.

Okay, I'm a big time idiot

I thought the draft alternated AL-NL, but it doesn’t. Right now the Reds would be 6th or 7th.

well...

hopefully we’ll keep sucking…

if we’re going to finish last in the division, hopefully we can be almost worst in baseball

I've never sat through the entire TV pre-game show before.

Brother where art thou…why do they waste all with that time on useless bullshit. Especially horrid was the segment with Jacoby talking about leadoff hitters. “They’ve got to be able to bunt and steal bases, A leadoff hitter ignites the offense.” I wish Brook had shared that little nugget of wisdom withe Dustbrain…maybe just maybe…CoFlat wouldn’t have led off for half of the season. (Beats head against the wall).

0 for 14 w/RISP in this series so far

This is one of the worst Red’s team ever. Man on 3rd w/one out and they can’t score.

I do not understand why Edwin is not hitting 4th?

BP is a number 2 or 7 hitter

by Zach K on Aug 21, 2008 2:33 PM EDT   0 recs

Because BP gets to play 2nd and bat 4th or he's going to take his ball and go home

I’d love to see BP in the 7 hole.

but Zambrano is a tough righty

better to put the left-handed .214 hitter in there.

by Charlie Scrabbles on Aug 21, 2008 2:38 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

Well, there are very few right-handed pitchers

so we should protect him from them as long as possible.
