I'm golfing at the beautiful Foxfire Players Club in Lokcburne, OH this afternoon.  And though it won't overlap at all with the game, that is my excuse for not watching tonight.  Until this team shows some sign of having not given up, I envoke the words of the philosopher Phil Collins - "I've got better things to do with my time."  I hope those of you who choose to watch the game have an enjoyable experience.

Votto's on the bereavement list

Rosales who’s been OPSing over 1.000 the last month is up in his place. Well-earned for Rosales.

And the Cardinals are hammering Zambrano. Glaus has driven in 5 runs in the last 2 innings. “Fuck the Cubs” as Phil Collins memorably said.

Theres this guy thats been on my mind
All the time, PatPatpatterson oh oh
Now he dont even hit the ball
and his OBP still will fall
PatPatPatterson oh oh

Oh if he bunts it’s in the air
He’s not on base anywhere
He always plays, to my strife
I feel so ill if I just say the word
PatPatPatterson, just say the word
Oh PatPatPatterson

Now I know that he’s too young
His Reds career has just begun
PatPatPatterson oh oh
Ooh give him a chance, give him a sign
He’ll make an out anytime
PatPatPatterson oh oh

Ah, we’ve got to just release him, release him now
and our closer but I dont know how
He makes me nervous and makes me scared
But I feel so ill if I just say the word
PatPatPatterson just say the word
Oh PatPatPatterson, oh

Ah, He’s all I need to end my life
I feel so sick if I just say the word
PatPatPatterson I just say the word
Oh PatPatPatterson I just say the word
Oh PatPatPatterson Ill say the word

The Rally Monkey...

...wreaked havoc on the Yankees today. Young Dan Giese was pitching in his hometown, in front of his friends and family. The Yanks led throughout…then the pen imploded. They gave up 8 runs in the 8th. The ninth guy was batting before there was a single out. Turned a tight game into a blowout.

The only way it could be worse is if someone added some Phil Collins. :-P

i was just about to say

that Dusty’s move there is sort of defensible, but he created the situation in the first place, so to hell with him.

unless Jerry Jr can not play outfield

and if that is the case put him on the DL and call up an outfielder.

I think that will be the reason

It would mean an outfield of Andy Phillips, Bruce, Dunn. With the pitcher’s spot coming up after Dunn. You’d be down to one bench player with a game that might go extras.
