The Reds can still strike out against Mitch Stetter, apparently
And wow Cherry, two of those pitches were WAY out of the zone.
They looked good. Damnit!

Dusty is going to leave Owings in until he dies.
Wait never mind, someone’s up.

Why is Owings still pitching?

Also further evidence that our coaches just collect paychecks

He's been doing it for 3 weeks.
Rarely before in his career, or even before in this season. Hell, even I’ve only done that once in my life. You never see other MLB hitters doing that.
There was one
did he hit a grand slam recently or a walk off? Anyway, the MLB network guys loved it and showed it a bunch of times.
And this is a recent development too
Thank goodness our top notch coaching staff will be able to fix this.
i just realized that the reason they called it SPECTRE in James Bond
is because that’s the term used in the opening line of the communist manifesto.
/random’d
that was crap. even though he went, it was still crap.
Special Executive for Counter-intelligence, Terrorism, Revenge and Extortion
I never heard the thing about the manifesto. I’m not sure I buy it.
the first line of the communist manifesto is this:
“A spectre is haunting Europe — the spectre of communism. All the powers of old Europe have entered into a holy alliance to exorcise this spectre: Pope and Tsar, Metternich and Guizot, French Radicals and German police-spies.”
i'm writing something
i haven’t really written something in a long time, but all of the sudden since the end of last week, the words come.
This team is so damned annoying.

its pretty simple
when Votto and Bruce go, so does the team.
otherwise its gonna be a lot of L’s.

It's cool that whenever we have anything to play for
We crumble immediately and play like shit. Hooray!

I don't think these are games we can expect to win
Arguably our two best slugging hitters are on the DL, it’s a 1 vs. 5 starter and the best-hitting team in our division. The last two loses were far more frustrating.

EdE and Votto? It's a bit of a stretch I guess

So do I
and he would be a mitigating factor for these blooper-fests that require continuous hitting from everyone in the order

Masset --> starting rotation
Owings to the pen, Burton and Lincoln should be sent packing.

agree'd on burton and lincoln
i’m not sure we want to mess with masset since we have a good thing going there. owings really hasn’t been that bad as a starter – remember, he’s our number five. i know we’re spoiled by having three number one type guys and bronson, but if i’m not mistaken, owings is about league avg, isn’t he? i mean for a number five guy? or actually, a number four guy?
I don't know if I buy Masset in the starting rotation
He’s like Jeremy Affeldt in my mind. Someone who could start, but who has really excelled out of the bullpen, and I’m not sure there’s a need to mess with that. Also, Owings’s bat is much more deployable if he’s not in the ’pen.
by Brendanukkah on May 31, 2009 4:46 PM EDT up reply actions
I'd love to see what he could do in a spot start
You might be right, but I think it’s worth a try.
Also, I don’t think Burton’s as bad as he’s been but he has options. Not sure who would come up in the somewhat unlikely even that both Lincoln and Burton were off the 25 man

did fisher get sent down when masset came back
because he should be up here right now. he did really well. he deserves a chance.
oh, right, edinson on dl
hopefully lincoln is going down tomorrow, since he had that mtg with managers and all.
I thought he was still around at least until Volquez was activated
in which case I was hoping against hope that Burton would be sent down.

I guess Owings really wasn't that bad today against
a really hot team. 2 runs is really sad especially when Gallardo doesn’t even go 6IP.

vicar street, cafe au seine, lilly's, renard's
god that was a fun place. drink copious amounts of guinness.
aran islands, amazing.
make sure you do the guinness brewery. tour’s not much, but i kid you not, the fresh guinness is divine. truly divine. you’ll never view guinness in the same way.
i feel such a sadness right now. i miss that place so much. shoot, next paycheck i should save to go there to see U2.
