A win last night was nice, but I'm not quite ready to let the baby run free.  I will give her some room to move though.  I want to see back to back wins!

Remember, Reds, only you can set her free.

It disturbs me that you have pictures of children in makeshift prisons so readily available.

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

Um.

Yeah, if we’re not going to play Hairston, can we just put him back on the DL, let him take his time, and call up Dickerson?

I think we overmeet as a society.

I'm glad to see, though

that Dunn is permanently in the fifth spot.

is the love affair with keppinger just about over?

he seems to be appropriately regressing to his mean, with a .269/.323/.360/.683 line and a 77 OPS+. What are everyday Reds fans’ thoughts on Jeffy?

What do you mean, "blank slate"?

Changed slightly within the last month or so

From what I’ve seen, about a month ago, he was the second coming of Pete, and a stud prospect who will be the Reds SS for years to come. Just the other day, however, I heard some kid optimistic for Gonzo to come back next season. I’d assume it’s still pretty high, but not as high as earlier in the season.

While yelling at Corey Patterson to at least catch the damned ball if he’s not going to hit it.

The first two

(the 2B and 3B) were line shots that he played somewhere between trying to chase it down and playing it off the wall with the ball bouncing past him the other way both times. This last one, he pulled up and let it fall in front of him.

I think he was playing a little too shallow on the triple

and took a bad angle to the ball

He was a piece of work. As Caleb said above, there was a bit of resemblance to John Kruk.
