oh yeah

joe randa played for the Reds. He basically netted us Eddie Guardado in a round about fashion, and i guess the Rheal Cormeir.

missed opportunity

“It was a mistake to move Randa. He was a guy who could have held down the third base spot for a few more years with solid play, leadership and for an affordable price.”(1)

Rather than trading him in ‘05 we should have signed him to an affordable 2-3 year extension for 2-3M a year. Just think he could be finishing up his Reds career right now. We wouldn’t be missing out on this production.

The last time they opened the season that late was 1992

though they have opened on April 5th a couple of times since then.

This doesn't include 1995 when they started the season on April 26th because of the strike

Loved this from the mlb article:
The reality of dwindling days remaining in a 2008 Reds season is offset by the anticipation of a sure tomorrow, in the form of this 2009 schedule.

Its gonna take a bit more than that to “offset” the “reality of dwindling days remaining in a 2008 Reds season.”

Sure tomorrow?

Tanzen!

Wow, implying that the Reds had a chance of being contracted after this season.

Way to go, MLB.com.

Only a few sad games left then all we'll have to is gnaw on our hopes and concerns for next year.

Pirates and Reds playing for division title in the last series of the season. I thought of you as a careful optimist….but the Pirates could be the 2009 surprise.

The Reds – well lets talk in November. Then it will only be 3 months from ST.

My wife is due on March 31, which is a Tuesday.

So I was okay with it being the day after opening day . . . an off-day. Now this uncertainty . . . I’ll see if I can get an April 7 opinion.

You may not want to wait until the day after OD. The Reds might be eliminated by then.

I've been wondering...

…what Andy Phillips was thinking, knocking up his wife in December. Not only does that mean the baby is born in September (he’ll miss the kid’s birthdays as long as he’s in baseball), it means poor Bethany has to be 8/9 months preggers in August. In Alabama. Surely that counts as spousal abuse?

That's an urban legend

It was Britain that supposedly had that rule. Only they didn’t.

However, Alabama is the state where sex toys are illegal.

Let’s shift the season 2 days back, then I can celebrate my 23rd with a meaningless game between two out of contention teams. A dream come true.

The first road trip is 13 games?!

Since when does MLB regularly schedule 13-game road trips? It happens during natural disasters and scheduling conflicts with presidential conventions, but not just ’cause MLB feels like it.

There’s also an 11-game trip. In 2007, the Reds had six! road trips of 9 games or more.

I’m getting tired of the Man holding me down.

i think every team

can gnash their teeth at the scheduling czars for perceived shortcomings. i mean, how do you think the Marlins feel? they have to play half their games in Miami!
