jeff: but i shudder to think of the bullpen analogy to sending the runner
Well....
it was an oft-repeated meme among Reds’ brass before the season. Then, we realized that our rotation was:
Harang
Arroyo
Volquez
Owings
Cueto
So, kinda both.

Nope, just that Maholm’s been around the plate all day.

doubt it was a designed sac
probably just WT trying to get on base, like he did before. Still, I don’t see why you try for bunt single with a guy on 1st
Votto didn't run very well
even for Votto. I really wish the Reds would take him out.
"Oedipus ruined a great sex life by asking too many questions!"- Dr. Stephen T. Colbert DFA.
I agree for precaution
Double switch, Hairston to 1st, DarMac to Left, pitcher to Votto’s spot.
That was my idea
but I don’t think they’re doin’ it.
this is the team that let Corrdero pitch all last season on a bad foot
and knew he needed surgery, yet let him pitch in a lost season.

The Delta '72 (a philadelphia soul/rock group) used to do a great bluesy cover it
but it’s also been covered endlessly by bluegrass groups.
By the by, the new trend I’ve noticed in bluegrass music is covering early 80s Springsteen. 3 of the last 4 bands I’ve seen have done this.

Hey....That reminds me.....
I was looking back at some of the old music discussions we had during game threads that were….well…..kinda like this one, and saw that you gave a recommendation to check out the Avett Brothers. I saw them open for Drive-By Truckers last summer. Wonderful show, both of them. I loved how the Avetts had about 10 different instruments on stage, and the 4 of them just rotated playing whatever was needed for that particular song. I really enjoyed their show.
"Karma - there it was. The meaning of life, straight from Carson Daly's lips to my morphine-laced ears." -Earl Hickey
That's interesting
I’ve kind of soured on them over the last two years. The songwriting on the last 3 releases has been just bad: overly cute and predictable. They always had the tendency to go Bare Naked Ladiesish at times, and I think they’ve gone that way totally.
That said, they can still bring the goods live and their albums from “Carolina Jubilee” to “Four Thieves Gone” are just full of great melodic stuff.
I heard a podcast of their recent performance at SXSW and it was unlistenable. SXSW’s strict time slots, however, can be really unforgiving on a band requiring so many instruments seemingly designed to go out of tune. So I don’t know. Glad you enjoyed them.

When he woke up the next morning in the hot Florida sun, Pedro Martinez shaved his mustache off for cockblocking him the night before. There was also a penis drawn on his forehead with magic marker, but he managed to wash it off before Opening Day.

Caught Stealing… Ramon Hernandez of course had naught to do with it…

Wily is living up to expectations today
You can sure create a lot of havoc from the dugout…
We need a lead off hitter
I vote for Jay Bruce – help him to be more selective…Bring up Gomes..
Back to the Grind
Its probably going to happen - bend over
They really need to plunk Morgan next time he comes up

at least it wasn't back to back to back
I was afraid he’d feel like he had to give Andy a home run, too, since he gave his brother one.

HOW THE HELL IS HE STILL IN THERE?
Hopefully this means he’s just mopping up because the decision has been made to send him down.

no reason to take him out after the grandslam
why put somebody else in?

Lincoln
He’ll get that Type-B Compensation status if he throws shutout ball for the next 14,500 innings.
As a Tennessee Volunteers fan
I would like to offer my sincerest apology for Mike Lincoln.
what about bruce pearl's painted chest?

OK, let's learn some lessons for tomorrow, Dusty.
Play Dickerson. Play Hanigan. Forget Hairston’s ’08 stats. Move Taveras down in the lineup. You might as well give Janish some looks too.
Dusty recently passed 59 1/2
years of age, which means he can cash in his 401K. Perhaps it’s time to retire.
Where have you gone, Johnny Vander Meer?
We'd have a ball game...
If Lincoln wasn’t terrible…

i chalk that up to giving up

FTH?
“In play outs” and “in play runs”?
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
You know...
I’d rather remove Hernandez from the lineup than T-Virus, because at least T brings a little defense
Reds fan for 40 years!
I agree
Hernandez is completely useless… he has no arm, cant stop a runner from stealing, cant hit, and cant run….
by wishfuldrifter on Apr 11, 2009 4:05 PM EDT up reply actions
did you watch t-virus today
he made a dazzling play, but he also takes terrible routes to the ball. HE FUCKING SUCKS.
I wasn’t yelling at you, i was yelling at the reds.

I underdstand,
but if we could get them to start fixing this team one player at a time, I’d start with Hernandez, because we have a superior player on the bench, and Ramon brings nothing to the team, except the potential for a few – most likely meaningless – homeruns. I wouldn’t cut, or trade him, because we really don’t have a back-up, but that should be his exclusive roll, unless Wilkin Castillo is a passable catcher. That’s another thing, why didn’t he get a bigger look at Spring Training? He’s about the only switch hitter in the system, and he can play so many positions. I wish he had gotten a lot more ABs and starts in ST, so we could see what we have there.
Reds fan for 40 years!
fitting way to end a game!
I’m pumped to see 2 years of Mike Lincoln – bad signing!

From the Reds front page
The Reds notched their first hits in the fourth when Brandon Phillips and Edwin Encarnacion followed Paul Votto’s walk with two singles, but Votto was thrown out at home to end the threat.
that's weird
The only Paul currently on the team is Janish. Not a guy you could easily confuse with Votto.
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
Maybe Votto has a twin brother that we just didn't know about
That’s my theory
by wishfuldrifter on Apr 11, 2009 4:12 PM EDT up reply actions
Joey does have a brother named Paul
Not a twin, so far as I know.

As for the catchers
Of all the catchers who played for the Reds this year and last, the one with the highest OPS last year was…
David Ross.

may have to revise my projections
for Bruce not having a break out career/ Hairston regressing to career average/ Gonzales and Hernandez being close to worthless and Dusty being even crazier than I thought.
But on the bright side I missed the game for a trip to Findlay Market. Kroeger Meat now has fresh Buffalo meat/Camel and Goat.
I settled for scallops and shrimp from Luekens and Spanish Chorizo from Kroeger and will try to make a grilled seafood sausage meal over rice.
Also got the new Wussy record from Shake it. So a good afternoon besides the Reds.
camel and goat?
In Ohio?
