Houston Astros at Cincinnati Reds, Aug 9, 2008 7:10 PM EDT

Next Game

Saturday, Aug 9, 2008, 7:10 PM EDT
Great American Ball Park

	W-L	ERA	WHIP	K	BB
2008 - Brian Moehler	7-4	4.01	1.33	54	26

	W-L	ERA	WHIP	K	BB
2008 - Bronson Arroyo	10-8	5.55	1.51	113	44

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
PatPatPatterson oh oh oh
Just say the word

If Sea Bass can be productive next year, that would be immense. A huge “if,” but still. CF is a huge problem. Defense is a big problem. Offense is a big problem. There’s nothing short term about any of this.

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

"He's on the right team, hacking at the first pitch"

Awesome, Welsh. That’s why they pay you the big bucks. Seriously, he’s the best announcer ever.

this team is pathetic and someone needs to speak up. im growing a moustache.

Oh, I'm dead serious.

I love how he takes little backhanded shots at the team when things aren’t going well and people are making stupid decisions. He’s easily my favorite Reds announcer. I may join you in the mustache growing. Mayyyybe.

I also love Welsh

he’s a very Faustian figure in as much as he seems to fight his demons of stupidity with angels of enlightenment.

And he totally haloed a smokin’ young lady with the teleprompter on MLB.tv earlier. You devil, Welsh!

He makes the game infinitely more fun to watch.

Especially with double-G sucking the personality out of the booth. Seriously, can you imagine spending more than 5 minutes with GG without wanting to stick a fork in your skull? Welsh is a saint.

Clearly most of the Reds have mailed it in

Is it just another bad team packing it in about this time of the season, or is this somehow in response to Dusty throwing his players under the bus earlier this week?

I mean, the team hasn’t been very good all year, but the effort the last few games is the lowest it’s been all season.

I suppose it’s unfair of me to expect him to be a good bunter just because a historically bad hitter.

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.
