Today is going to be a challenge for Dusty Baker. When you've been puttting a getaway day lineup on the field for the last week, what do you do when you have an actual getaway day? Expect Juan Castro and Neifi Perez to be acquired prior to game time.
I find myself really rooting for Arroyo right now. I'm not completely sure why, but I guess that I want to have hope for next season, and maybe if he pitches well the rest of the year it will carry over into next season. Or maybe I just like minutia like the fact that the Reds haven't had two 16-game winners since 1988 (Jackson/Browning). I mean, I know it doesn't make any difference, but when you root for shitty teams, you have to take what you can get.

I know, shit's ridiculous
Fattie’s pulling out all the stops for a 100-Mill deal so he can then lapse into a tubbier version of Barry Zito

i dont see him lapsing at all
- joke about his lap -
but really, he seems pretty durable and he’s still only 28. nothing at all like Zitface.

rooting for Arroyo
im with you on this. hopefully he can rack up a few more wins and end up looking respectable. if there are plans to trade him this winter (im on the fence on that one) a 16-10 record looks much better than 14-12. or whatever.

Can CC win the Cy Young?
With Webb and EV faltering over the last month, does CC become part of the discussion or is it Lincecum’s to lose?
How can such a good looking man be so bad at getting to first base?
CC will get credit for the pennant race
but this isn’t Rick Sutcliffe going 16-1 in 1984, so he’ll have a slightly harder chance at it. Of course, if he goes 12-0 with an ERA under 2.00, it’ll be hard to pass him up.

Also, read thru that guys game blog last night. He disses the reds and calls them one of the worst pitching staffs in baseball. Im pretty sure our bullpen is ranked 3rd in the NL, and our starters may not be CC and Sheets, but without Fogg are pretty respectable. Our problem this year has been offense and defense.

Getting closer
But can’t we have, just once, a lineup that doesn’t have Patterson, Bako OR Cabrera?
Um, I almost advocate playing Patterson these days
He has been kind of hot lately.
…lord, I feel dirty.
by Brendanukkah on Sep 10, 2008 12:42 PM EDT up reply actions
depends on what your ultimate objective is
If you want to win a few more games this year, then maybe a “hot” Patterson is the way go to.
If you want to make absolutely sure he’s not on the team next year, keep him on the bench. With each hit down the stretch, the fear that Dusty will convince Walt he’s a great bench/defensive replacement/veteran minimum guy creeps further into my brain.

for realsies. this is just inappropriate.

hmm
Not sure how you define “hot” or lately, but starting with yesterday and going back every game from there, the best OPS I can find for Patterson is .662, starting coincidentally with the first game after Dunn was traded. Every other date range in the last 2+ months that ends with yesterday’s game gives Patterson an OPS lower than .662.

Where do they rank across the league within their postion groups?
If you’ve got it handy.
Ranks
Patterson is the 2nd worst CF, barely ahead of Andruw Jones
Kepp is the 4th worst SS, pretty far in front of Tony Pena.
Bako is in the bottom 5 (the list of catchers is messed up for some reason so I can’t get an accurate number, but he’s definitely near the bottom.

according to MLBtraderumors
both Stormy and Affeldt should end up being type B free agents. if Walt knows what he is doing, and thats a huge IF, they both will be offered arbitration. Affledt will definitely get a long term deal somewhere, so thats a no-brainer. Stormy is an iffy case though. i would offer him arb and hope someone offers him more. but if he stays i think he’s still worth it. he hasnt been awesome, but he is definitely reliable and sturdy. and the VP helps i think. we’ll see.

I haven't checked his splits
But it seems like Weathers is pretty valuable on the road, and only really shits the bed when he’s pitching in Cinci. I do know that every time I see his ERA, I’m always surprised that it’s as low as it is.
by Brendanukkah on Sep 10, 2008 12:59 PM EDT up reply actions
he's been pretty good since he came to Cincy
but this year, even though his ERA (3.19) is the lowest its been since ’03, his WHIP (1.53) is much higher than its been in the past few years. i can see him falling off next year, but if he only gets 3 mil or so i can live with it. of course, this is all hoping he rejects arb and the Nats sign him to be their closer.

From the Enquirer:
Chris Dickerson wasn’t in the lineup for the third straight night on Tuesday and probably won’t start again until Friday when the Reds face the Arizona Diamondbacks. Baker wanted to give Dickerson’s sore left achilles tendon additional rest, especially with left-hander CC Sabathia scheduled to pitch today.

NOTE: I originally wrote Corey Patterson instead of Paul Bako, but that could definetly be taken the wrong way. Even here.

I was wondering if there would have been an outcry in the Chris Young game if Yost had pulled the starters and put in Gamel, Salome, and Escobar in like the 5th inning. It was a blowout, and they could have used the experience, but people probably would have bitched that it lessened Young’s achievement, if he had gone on to throw a perfect game.

2 players away
What’s weird is that he and Tracy Jones were on the radio on Monday night talking about how this team is not far away from being a good team. they need an offensive player and I forget who else they said. I remember thinking, wasn’t Dunn that offensive person?
If you're not having fun, stop participating.
They need some major restructuring on defense
and offensively, they still need at least one if not two big bats. And will likely need some bullpen help. And perhaps another starting pitcher, but that is actually a lower priority. If they can do that in two players, then Jocketty will get GM of the Millenium.

Cherry got the silent treatment back in the dugout
silly MLBers….
www.crosleyfieldterrace.wordpress.com
the silent treatment
is when the player gets back from hitting a HR and nobody goes to give him a high five or anything. They just stand there and do nothing.
www.crosleyfieldterrace.wordpress.com
It's a tradition
More in the NL than the AL. They usually do it when a rookie hits his first home run. Kind of a hazing, I guess.

Can a pitcher legally throw towards home plate but only throw it just past the mound? It would kind of be a modified pitch-out to get the runner to commit to running. The pitcher would then just pick up the ball and get the runner out (and the batter would get a ball).

Every Rose has his thorns
From Joe Posnanski:
One more Derek Jeter thought. When I talked with Pete Rose. I asked him if he thought Jeter had any chance to catch him on the hit list.
I wish I’d had a camera at that moment because the look of pure disgust on Pete’s face was beyond priceless, it was worth more words than every blog post I’ve ever written. He said, "Come on."
I said, "Well, he has about as many hits as you had at his age." And if anything Pete’s look became MORE disgusted, and he smirked and he said what might be my favorite quote of the year, and one that (sadly) I probably won’t be able to get into the book so I give it to you now:
He said: "You tell Derek that the first 3,000 are easy."

If you could get deep dish pizza at the Field Museum, there would be no need for the rest of Chicago to exist

A guy I dated in college
was half Italian, and insisted on square pieces. To him, pizza was rectangular, not round.

My dad ordered a pizza del mari in Sorrento
Basically a seafood pizza. But all of the seafood was still whole. Clams and oysters in their shells. Three giant prawns. A little octopus. When the waiter brought it out, my dad’s face just blanched. But he was game, and eventually made it through the whole thing.

One of my big regrets while living in DC
is that I don’t go to Jumbo Slice more often.
I do NOT regret not owning a “Hugs encouraged” shirt.

That looks like it could feed the entire population of a small African nation.

That's funny
Cuz DC has an AIDS infection rate of a small African nation.

Given the racial breakdown, DC IS a small African nation

I drive through an interchange called the Mixing Bowl every day
Believe me when I tell you that there’s no mixing.

511 Coments on a Wednesday Afternoon
For a struggling team with a manager living in the past, in a city that is both racists and homophonic…this is an amazing feat. I wasn’t here to help much…but my heart was with you guys through the excruciating pain of another amazing afternoon of managerial blunders – capped off with C -Dick hitting PH for Jerry Jr.
Rock on Red Reporters…onward til we meet in the afterthread.
And Farewell to Toad Coffee – Ha Ha Brewers – you guys are going to blow it for sure now
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.
