Afternoon game today. Man, I really wish Harang had been shutdown. I hope he's actually healthy and not just being a trooper for this shitty team. No way this team is competitive next season without a healthy Harang.
Reds NL Central magic number is down to 5. They are really trying to make it tight, aren't they?

Did you guys see the Chicago Sun-Times tear Jay Mariotti a new one?
It’s awesome! (hat tip CTR)

I get my sports news from "humorous" websites
So I read that and thought it was made up. God, that’s good. “I’ll miss him around here. Not personally, of course.”

When Mariotti was leaving, I thought I'd miss him
but it turns out that I’ve got pretty good aim and I hit him squarely with the front bumper.

1. Jim Rome
2. Skip Bayliss

4. Woody Paige
are all ahead of him.

Gonna Have to disagree zach
Every person you listed there has at some point entertained me.
Mariotti has never done anything that didn’t make me want to change the channel.
Jim Rome’s radio show is actually really good.

What!
Jim Rome’s radio show is him blabbering on the whole time.
Skip Bayliss is like Reynard and Micheal x100 but except he gets paid lots of $ to do it
Stephen A. Smith ruined the 2007 NBA Draft with his non stop blabbering
Wood Paige always tries to make a “Good Ole Day” story out of everything.

Ok
- Jim Rome’s radio show is him blabbering on the whole time.
Yep, that’s what you do when you host a radio show.
- Skip Bayliss is like Reynard and Micheal x100 but except he gets paid lots of $ to do it
At least his is clever and funny in his wrongness. Mariotti is neither.
- Stephen A. Smith ruined the 2007 NBA Draft with his non stop blabbering
Not a huge Stephen A. Fan, but I still like him better than Mariotti.
- Wood Paige always tries to make a "Good Ole Day" story out of everything.
He is a buffoon, but he embraces playing the part. I’d say that them making fun of him is what made Around the Horn.

Last night I listened to a half inning of the game on the radio
and Brantley said flat out twice in a 6 minute inning. It included this gem, “That’s how you get flat out of a double play.” (in regards to Joey Votto breaking up a double play) It’s like his mind knew the word “out” was coming up so it naturally threw a “flat” in front of it.

Yeah, you're probably right.
I just think he seems like the perfect guy that Dusty would like on his staff. Former Red, black, speedy outfielder, and he had a great deal of success, even if it was unorthodox. Dusty doesn’t seem like the type that would actually consider a player’s swing before hiring him to coach his team’s hitting.

Has anyone noticed that Bako’s almost caught up to Patterson’s ineptness, at least in terms of batting average? Oh, and he’s already reached a lower slugging percentage. Impressive.
Bako: .206/.278/.318 in 298 PAs
Patterson: .196/.233/.337 in 295 PAs (before today)
I think we overmeet as a society.
the most remarkable part is that they've combined for nearly 600 PAs

I liked it better when you were posting strange photos of strange persons!
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.

Unfortunately, that's a bit optimistic
The true magic number was actually 4, before this game. The thing is, the traditional magic number doesn’t take into account the fact that since all the teams above you are playing each other, they can’t ALL lose.
At RIOT, they use Network Optimization to find the true magic number. The way to read it is that the Reds need to win 25 games and get ALL the breaks in order to win the Central. Of course, they need only win 19 games and get ALL the breaks in order to win the wild card. And, they have 29 games left.
It’s extremely geeky. I’ve been watching for about 4 years, and I don’t think I’ve ever seen the true number diverge from the classic Magic Number by more than 1 or 2. So, it’s lots of effort for very little gain.
But, it’s some Cal guy’s effort, so, that’s cool.
so, you're saying there's still a chance?
