bob novak died

RIP, Bob.

So that makes him, Eunice Kennedy Shriver and Jim Johnson who have passed since the last update on the graveheart lists. Am I missing anyone?

What do you mean, "blank slate"?

Bob Novak was the first famous person I saw on the streets of DC

I didn’t even know it was him at first. I just saw these eyebrows and they sent a chill to the very core of me. A few minutes later I realized, “That was Bob Novak!”

What the?

I didn’t think the Cardinals allowed black players!

Eye Witness Report

I went to the White Sox/Royals game last night. It was a good time, I think I prefer going to Comisky over Wrigley. The fans are less obnoxious, and the modern ballpark offers easier access, and is more comfortable, and is not plagued with poles in the fans site lines.

There was an hour rain delay, and and I left early, sadly since the Royals made it interesting. But it was a good time.

Did any Royals base coaches get attacked?

It’s a “Comiskey” tradition.

Dan Szymborski projected Eric Davis's career starting with 1990

assuming that he would have stayed with the Reds. He would’ve had a Hall of Fame case. Damn shame. (linky)

If we TRADE for him I'm quitting

Signing him for league minimum next week would be bad enough, but if we actually take some of that salary too I give up….we’ll never compete

i don't know

this could be like acquiring Jimmy Anderson, the Reds sign all the shitty players who rock them, and all that is left are the really good players like Puljos and Berkman, who rock the Reds.

From MLBTR

The Yankees inquired on Bronson Arroyo and Aaron Harang, but lost interest when the Reds refused to send money along.

Lineup against Lincecum

Via the Fay

Whoever called that Gomes wouldn’t play against Lincecum even though he’s on fire was right. Rosales 6th? Areuserious?

Yeah, fuck that lineup

Taveras really gums things up in every way imaginable. Should be Gomes, C-Dick, Balentien and a little Nix ’til Jay gets back.

Hey! The Reds have a plan

According to Walt:

"The plan is . . . we have a plan, let’s put at that. . . The plan is to try and develop quality young players and build a foundation for the organization for the long-term, not just the short-term.

"We’re also trying to be fair to our fans and be competitive as much as we could this year. I think we were until we were hit with a lot of injuries in the middle of July. We didn’t have the depth to compensate for it.

Oh, so it’s the same plan we’ve had since 2003. yay?

I really hope Bill Hall isn't a prominent line item in that plan

But I fear he’’s going to be here soon. In which case, I can only guess by “quality young players” Walt means “crappy, not-that-young-anymore players” like Taveras and Hall. Who will probably be batting 1-2.

I don’t have a flickr account or anything like that. Can I email them to someone to post? They’re probably pretty big files.

That must be Janish in front in the bluish shirt. I recognize his scrawny legs.

And Bruce beside him, with the cast on his right wrist.

Dickerson behind Janish…the only one not melanin-impaired.

I recognized Rosales before, from his receding hairline and the shirt (recognizable from the closeup pic elsewhere in the slideshow). The next to him must be Massett.

Dickerson" I’m up for it"
Jay" Lets do it"
Rosy"Great hey, gang where we meeting….I’ll race you to the Beast…"
Masset " Jesus Jones almighty…OK Rosales you can come"
Bruce" Maybe he can beat the racer this time"
Jannish “If he’s coming who’s going to be in charge of dressinng him for public consumption?”

Reds on the roller coaster

Holy cow. They are huge. Sorry if it’s too much. I figured it would be okay since this is an old thread, not a game thread, and not very long.

I made them clickable, in case they don’t fit your screen. Mods, if you want to replace the images with links, feel free.

Is that BP?

I thought it was C-Dick.

Very cool pics. I love photos like this. Nice to see them off the field (but still public, so not stalker-creepy).

BP's in the photo

And they don’t even bother to list his name in the caption?

Wow. First the bobblehead thing, now this.

And I just noticed the photos are cropped compared to the ones that appeared in the Enquirer. Cut BP’s head off in one of them.
