Chris Dickerson says his shoulder feels like it did in '06 when he tore his rotator cuff
He could barely lift his arm. Micah Owings' shoulder isnt in a good way either. The team lost its 6th straight. This season was starting to look like a farcical tragedy like "Airplane!", but now I think it's more like a tragic tragedy like "Sophie's Choice". -
More injury news
Jared Burton went on the DL with shoulder weakness and shortness of breath. Josh Roenicke is back in his stead. Ryan Hanigan sat for the 3rd straight day with a stiff neck. Laynce Nix has a sore back and Alex Gonzalez came off the DL way too early and cant play 9 straight innings, much less do it well. I take back the "Sophie's Choice" analogy. "Sophie's Choice" was unbearably sad, but definitely worth watching. This is team is more like "The English Patient". -
Basement Dwellers' guest writer Greg in ATL has a piece up listing the best hitter seasons by WAR
in the history of the Reds. I really, really wish I could have seen Joe Morgan in the '70s. That must have been really something. He also lists the worst WAR seasons in Reds history, and I really, really wish I could have seen Juan Castro in a garbage can. -

and the Reds have dropped all the way to #26. They had them in the top 10 at one point this season. Now they are projected to finish behind the Pirates. -
Keith Olberman has been following this Pete Rose story all weekend at the HOF induction ceremony
and it looks like it may have some legs after all. Sparky Anderson visited Pete at the card shop he was holed up in all weekend and the two spoke for the first time in quite a long time. Hank Aaron brought up Pete without prompting and said he belongs. I'm sure this story isnt over, so we'll keep you posted. -

That has to be rec’d. Not a bad description of Bronson. Who would be the last man standing then? Maybe the unlikely hero, in other words, Willy Taveras?
Racist but true

So Gomes would be like Ash?
I can see that lol. I think it would be better than the last two series together if Gomes would just crank up a chainsaw and say “hail to the king, baby”.
What about Rosales? He’s plucky and pure of heart. He might make it.
Rosales is the sole survivor, and it isn't even close
You could have a case for Gomes and Votto, since they’re both raging badasses, but the scrappiest guy with the most heart always comes out on top. It’s a shame baseball isn’t like that.

Rosales would end up running away from the monster thing at full speed,
barley escaping with his life as the explosions he planted go off behind him. As he picks himself up and dusts off his pants he would shout, “YOU DON’T FUCK WITH ROSIE AND GET AWAY WITH IT MOTHER FUCKERS!!”
He would then go on to lead the rebuilt Reds team to the world series and win the Cy Young Award, Golden Glove, and Home Run Derby (just because he can).

Now I know
According to the study, Barry (79.1% probability) is the player second most likely to be elected to the Hall in 2010, after Roberto Alomar (98.7% probability). The next closest player is Fred McGriff at 66.4% probability.
"I never should have given up the animation rights."
Also
According to the study, Derek Jeter has a 8.4% probability of being elected to the Hall… Can you say OVERRATED.
"I never should have given up the animation rights."
Jeter's a first ballot on reputation alone
Unless it comes out that he’s on the juice, nothing’s keeping him out. Writers love him too much.

Yep. He has heart and he can hit in October and he's great with runners on and he's dreamy
He is a first ballot, despite the fact that his defense alone will keep them from winning the Series until he’s Dhing in 2013
This sounds like a S.I.S. poll.
If the 2009 Reds were a movie, what would they be?
Waterworld? Nah. Although the Reds are just as unwatchable and just as big a waste of time, the Reds do not have a big enough budget and lack the Kevin Costner star power.
The Phantom Menace? Nah. Again, too big-budget, and the movies that preceded it were actually good, which raised expectations for that installment.
Perhaps you could try [name any Cheech & Chong flick] — Low-budget, and you didn’t like the last one you saw, and you know this one’s going to be bad too unless you are “impaired,” but here they are again…

More like some Cinemax movie that promises lots of soft core porn, but features only two topless scenes and in the final scene,
where the guy finds love with the nerdy girl who was with him from the start and he hadn’t noticed the 36C’s and 24 inch waist until she takes her hair out of the bun and removes her glasses (even though it was obvious from the start she was smokin’), the guy and gal are supposedly getting it on, but you can see he’s still wearing his jeans and the music is all terrible 80’s rock….
that’s what this team is to me. It was supposed to a fun romp, a blast. Instead everyone who was involved with making it knew it sucked, it got terrible reviews, and I was the only who believed, even for a minute.

All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
I've thought too long on this
I have to settle on Cutthroat Island.
Most people weren’t expecting much from it, but a small dedicated group (pirate movie fans who had been starved since Roman Polanski’s Pirates / Reds fans) were severely disappointed.
You have a director, Renny Harlin, coming off past success (Cliffhanger and Die Hard 2) who is revealed to be in way over his head and is almost finished (Dusty Baker, the 2010 Reds will be his The Long Kiss Goodnight).
Producer Mario Kassar (Walt Jocketty) wants a big money, big name male lead (RF bat), but is spurred by Michael Douglas as well as Cruise, Keaton, Keanu, Day-Lewis, et al (Ibanez, Burrell, Holliday, Beltre, Rolen, et al). He eventually settles on no-way-can-he-carry-a-film Mathew Modine (Willy Taveras) who did have some success in the past (private Joker in Full Metal Jacket / one and a quarter good seasons in Colorado).
Geena Davis as Joey Votto—the one worthwhile star in the whole production.
or:
Geena Davis, whose strengths lay in light comedy, woefully miscast as an action lead (take your pick: Brandon Phillips as cleanup hitter, Taveras batting leadoff, Ramon Hernandez at first, Edwin Encarnacion as second most potent bat…)
Additionally Harlin was dating and would later married Davis, which adds a fitting layer of nepotism / blinding conflict of interest (many Reds-related examples over the years, from Pete Rose Jr. to the broadcast booth, culminating in the Corey Patterson is dating Dusty’s daughter rumor from last year).
Hey, He Was in That One! Future Success Award goes to Frank Langella and Jay Bruce.
Cutthoat Island ultimately bankrupted Carolco Pictures, an independent production company (mid market team) that had achieved a good deal of success in the past, including 1991’s Terminator 2 (1990 World Series).
Admittedly it’s not perfect. CI had a budget of 92 million dollars in 1995 and I would have preferred it if Renny Harlin had some awards on his mantle to counterbalance Dusty’s. But Thomas Pope’s epitaph for the film from the book Good Scripts, Bad Scripts is fitting:
The tragedy of Cutthroat Island isn’t that it’s so bad, but that it didn’t have to be so bad, that its mistakes could have been avoided had the filmmakers possessed the creative will to foresee and overcome them.

I am such a bad Reds fan
My Rose hatred is so staggeringly vast that I would be upset if he made into the HOF! How sad is that?
I really, really, really learned to hate that man, beginning in 1988 and extending his self-promoting, greedy ways and including the way he treated his own kid.
I hope he doesn’t make it in until he’s shuffled off this mortal coil.
I know it’s terrible, but I don’t care
i agree with you
when Rose was still playing my mom was an assistant administrator at a nursing home in Fairfield. They had a 14 year old boy who had the end stages of muscular dystrophy; his idle was Pete Rose. Over the years many Reds players came and visited especially sick children such as this boy. My mom called Pete Rose and he said “I don’t have time visit every goddamn crippled kid in the Cincinnati area”.
She then called Joe Nuxhall who answered set a date, and brought than manager Russ Nixon with him, and they brought the boys singed posters, balls, and bats. Nuxhall is the epitome of class while Rose is the epitome of human garbage.
I think Rose does belong in the hall of fame, the day after he dies.

holy crap...
what an asshole. i can understand a lot of players/coaches/celebrities wanting to turn that down, but there’s got to be a more diplomatic way of going about it. the fact that he chose those words without hesitation is a testament to his character…
Strange how his character/demeanor could be comparable to Ty Cobb
the man whose records he broke. I guess I don’t know enough about either to say definitively, but I’d always though Cobb was a coldhearted competitor and a racist, while Pete Rose was just kind of a simpleton and rough around the edges.
I know the Hall is supposed to be about baseball merit – and well it should be – but if “playing the game the right way” should mean anything, it should mean having some character and the Hall should reward good citizens of the game who were also good ballplayers. That doesn’t mean the writers pass judgment on how players conducted their personal lives, just that they include as criteria – as they most likely do – how that player used their celebrity and status as a baseball player.
Joe Jackson belongs in the hall before Pete
by RijoSaboCaseyWKRP on Jul 27, 2009 2:13 PM EDT up reply actions
I've always seen Pete as a Cobblike player and like Cobb as person to a lesser degree
One thing to remember is that Pete wasa hard scrabble blue collar kid who hung out with black kids (and players) at a time when it wasn’t cool or considered by many to be appropiate in cinti, He played with such intensity that I think he was capable of doing only one thing in this life and that was baseball. the guy was an ass and a prick and a liar and just plain stupid as well. As a player he was incredible. the question is wether one is put in the HOF for what he did as a player or if his citizenship, humanity or what he did after he stopped playing should enter in. For me its all about what he did as a player.
Johnny Bench was equally as arrogant and prcickish and to me even creepier than Rose but he didn’t bet on baseball and he was smarter, more polished and a much better liar. Both of these guys were incredible ball players with incredible flaws as were many who are in the hall…Cobb isn’t the only one.

I agree with all this, but--
We’ve been talking a lot about what keeps us all Reds fans, Slyde’s post 2010 withdrawal, etc… This discussion sparked a moment of self realization for me:
If Pete Rose ends up in the Reds dugout I’m out.
I was watching the USA - Honduras game in a soccer bar on Thursday night
Shortly after halftime, some insanely attractive girl and her whatever guy friend come in and ask to have the Phillies game put on. Every other TV in the place is turned to soccer, and they ended up sitting by me, using the TV I was watching to watch their precious Phillies play San Diego.
By the end of the US game, we chatted a little. I told her I was a Reds fan and politely thanked her for the 22-1 curbstomping. The guy asks me if I’m from Ohio or northern Kentucky, and I tell him Ohio. She likes Ohio, she’s been to Dayton – “Mike Schmidt!” I say, “You’re welcome for Pete Rose, even though he’s pretty much a scumbag.” She looks at me like I’d just punted a puppy. “Hey, I’m a Reds fan,” I say, “But he’s a scumbag.”
Yeah, there’s no real point to this story, other than I talked about Pete Rose recently with a hot girl.

Mads, do you remember how terrible a manager he was?
In the days when LaRussa was revolutionizing bullpen play with the White Sox, Rose was having John Franco attempt three inning saves! The team Sweet Lou took wire to wire was in many respects the same team Pete had and he couldn’t even win the division! My god, that team was stacked: lefty and righty lights out set-up guys, a line-up of Parker, Eric, Barry, Kal Daniels, Paul O’Neill, Gus Bell/Sabo, Bo Diaz, Ron Oester, Esasky, Tracy Jones….talent everywhere, but Pete could never win with it.
Being re-instated means he would darken the door of my franchise in some manner and I cannot handle the return of that ignoramus. I hope he’s banned until the day after he dies and then his estate can go on QVC and auction of parts of his body…just like Pete would have told them to.
As a player he was incredible
but as i just relied up above – i don’t think anyone would ever let him back in as a manager or eve a coach. If he gets reinstatement it will be withcertain controls.

yep, during a game. Guy in a wheelchair. Called Cobb a n+++++lover
Cobb went into the stands. Received a lengthy suspension. His teammates went on strike over it, because they said “no one is responsible for what they do when someone calls you that.” The Tigers owner brought in a college team and they were beaten like 29-1 or something. The kid who started that game had the highest ERA in the Baseball Encyclopedia ofr the longest time. There was no commissioner in those days and the Tigers owner reduced Cobb’s suspension to one game and the team came to play the next day.
Cobb also attacked a black groundskeeper and was choking him until he was persuaded by the gentleman’s wife to let the groundskeeper go. Apparently the groundskeeper thought it would okay to shake Cobb’s hand and did not greet him with sir.
He was a peach of a guy
Didn't he also stab an elevator operator for being "uppity"?
It’s hard to tell where truth from comic exaggeration with Cobb.

On whether the Reds are “sellers” via Fay:
"I believe we’re not at that point," he said. "If we can get our pitching to show up and get out hitting to show up, we’re still possibly contenders.

Or insane.
Fuck.
Eighty-five percent of the f*ckin' world is working. The other fifteen percent come out here. A f*ckin' playground for the cocks*ckers.

Yep
Despite an 0-6 trip to Los Angeles and Chicago, the Reds have continued to talk to Toronto about acquiring third baseman Scott Rolen, and sources said the deal has a chance of happening.
You ever been to the South side of Milwaukee?
...but Rolen is on contract for next year as well
the Padres did this a bit back with one of the Giles…trading for him the deadline before the season of the big push. I’m still agnostic on this idea.
But so is EdE
And the economy is still gonna be shit next year so it’s not like we’ll be rushing to add payroll. I mean… Rolen alone ain’t gonna be an answer.

i know that butt

Toronto said there not paying any of his contract
now the reds dont want him to bad where so cheap!
He's not gonna say that the Reds are selling
Because he promised these fans a winner. He’s not gonna go back on that now.

He could at least phrase it in such a way that suggests
the hitting needs to be improved from without and not merely “show up.” I can’t tell what he’s thinking – maybe its a Greenspan-esque koan, but more likely it’s a stubborn commitment to the same misguided practices of the last 10 years.

I hear ya.
But I think you’re nitpicking.
Jockety’s job is to manage the organization’s rosters. Whatever off-the-cuff remarks he makes to a reporter at this point in the season is said with one primary purpose in mind- to get to the end of the interview as quickly as possible.

jeter for arroyo?

What do you mean, "blank slate"?
sounds like the deal fell apart
If it ever existed. MLB Trade rumors is now saying they couldn’t settle the money issue. Sheldon says Arroyo was removed from the schedule by mistake. And Yankees beat writer Peter Abraham says the Yankees deny the rumor.
