Are you ready to drink kids? THommy Boy is going back to the greatest place on Earth and you can bet we're gonna hear all about the right way to play the game, clutchiness, and what a winner Craig Counsell was on tonight's broadcast.
The Diamondbacks have been a disappointment, going 13-19 so far. They've done it by ranking 29th in runs scored, even though they're pitching isn't too bad. They rank 12th in the majors in ERA and actually have more quality starts than the Reds at this point, 17-15. Their hitting came around yesterday when they slapped the Nationals around for 17 hits in a 10-8 win. Oh, and Justin Upton is hitting .393 with six home runs and 15 RBIs during his current 17 game hitting streak. Garland has been pretty decent since getting blow'd up by the Cardinals back on April 15th, going 2-0 and lowering his ERA by over four runs.
The question of the night is, which 'royo will we get? Goodroyo from May 1 against the Pirates or Badroyo who showed up against the Brewers last Wednesday? Personally I'm treating his last start like Caddyshack II - never happened.
Lastly, the Reds have taken eight of the last ten games against the Diamondbacks, let's hope that trend continues tonight.

Sweet, congrats dude!
I wanna buy a house soon since the market’s looking so much better. Of course it would help to have a job first.
I miss the old days of the internet when men were men, hot girls were middle aged men, and hot underage girls were FBI agents.....
don't worry
Prices are likely to keep dropping.
My sister bought a house a couple of years ago. Houses in her neighborhood are now going for half what she paid.

Getting a cool house is one of the great highs of being alive
Mrs. M and I are on #4 (in the Ghetto) and we were already to move t a townhouse in Mariemont but now we’re not..so no more paintng and fixing and etc (I can just stay home and RR it)…That’s the real fun Scrabs…make sure you get a new ladder.

That we haven’t hit bottom yet. Hopefully we’ll hit bottom around January when I’ll be in position to buy. (If all goes to plan)

I'm thinking it will be longer than that
This “rebound” is an illusion. My guess is that this will be obvious by the end of the year. We’ve only seen the first wave of foreclosures. There’s a lot more to come.
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
he should look at mortgages
Subprime was only the first wave. Next up: Option ARMs.

isn't economics a psuedo science?
Bloop
by justin007000 on May 12, 2009 12:50 AM EDT up reply actions
it is
But this isn’t really economics. Finance, maybe. Those are mortgages already made, not a projection of future mortgages.
Basically, those mortgages were made with the idea that home prices would always go up. Once they stop going up, or worse, go down, it all falls apart. Suddenly, people who get in trouble can’t sell their homes or re-finance their mortgages. And those who lent them the money can’t just foreclose and get their money back.
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
we were looking to buy
but to get a loan now you need an ungodly down payment. turns out a son of a friend of a friend is moving to Cincy and doesnt want to sell his place yet. so we fell into it. i feel like the luckiest man on the face of the earth right now.

so i got a question
what is the deal with Wally Pipp? I have heard his name alot recently in articles i have read and whatnot…i know he was a first baseman, and he was playing before lou gehrig started his consecutive games streak….but what else is significant about him
HAVOC...your everyday solution to clogged bases
That's about it
Basically he was the Yankees first baseman. He got hurt. Gehrig stepped in and took his job. Now anytime a starter loses his job due to injury and not because he sucks, its called "getting Pipp’ed.’

Selling a house right now sucks
My wife and I got married almost two years ago. We each owned our own house. We decided we wanted to sell both and get “our” house. Her house sold, mine didn’t. We went ahead and got “our” house, and just last month I found a renter for my house after having it on the selling market for about 16 months.

You could always count on Ryan to make a bonehead play with no out or two out. One should always turn a single into a triple with no outs or a single into a double with two outs. Rosie is a “freel” on the infield
Edmonds was still a great fielder though
he played really shallow, but he could get anything. i hate the sumbitch, but i think he’s continually underrated.

3 left handed middle-of-the-lineup bats is too many. We got decent value for Dunn, Jr. is awful now and we got nice value for him too. I am happier with the team post-Dunn/Jr. than I did before. Sorry?
