Okay Homer, show us your stuff

You too, Jonny. We pined for you, fought for you. Make the most of your opportunity.

I'm guessing

Ramirez is not available out of the bullpen, so they needed another arm to cover for Massett.

And Gomes because it was long overdue.

Alright Johnny

Let’s get nasty…

I want an on-field melee before the end of the month.

Since there hasn't been a Reposter yet

Mo Egger’s father passed away this week and he wrote a great piece about it. Give it a look.

But you would be wrong.

This made my pretty crappy day much, much better

No, Jonny Gomes isn’t a savior, no this team isn’t suddenly a ton better, but yes, at least the front office is awake and is recognizing guys who deserve a shot.

I feel much better about things than I did yesterday.

In honor of this and the sombrero pic, it’s strong-ass margaritas for me tonight.

OLE!

this is inspiring

Fisher’s FIP in AAA this year is 1.73. that’s just 18.2 innings, but that is some serious work. it’s pretty amazing to see just how far this bullpen has come over the last few years.

I'm happy with this.

Not quite as happy as when “Two Pitch At-Batterson” was DFA’d, but happy.

Didn't he mean a McFlurry of moves?

From Fay’s sub:

Flurry of moves announced today by Cincinnati:

OF Jonny Gomes’ contract purchased from Louisville. OF Darnell McDonald designated for assignment. Optioned to Louisville RHP Ramon Ramirez, recalled RHP Carlos Fisher and RHP Homer Bailey; officially placed on DL RHP Edinson Volquez retroactive to 5/17.

I love the first comment

I think you need to step your game up Tom. A flurry of moves just announced at 3:00 pm? Is that way everyone knew about this 5 hours ago?

I guess they’re missing the Fay…

Apparently, Friday is the day to make your DFAs

Dusty: You’re gonna lay off Darnell McDonald?
Walt Jocketty: Oh yeah, we’re gonna bring in some AAA folks, farm some work out to Singapore, that’s the usual deal.
Bob Castellini Standard operating procedure.
Dusty: Does he know this yet?
Walt Jocketty: No. No, of course not. We find it’s always better to fire people on a Friday. Studies have statistically shown that there’s less chance of an incident if you do it at the end of the week.
