PrintI've been out enjoying what the day has wrought. Looks like the Reds won behind a strong performance from Homer Bailey. Of course, the win wasn't without a loss. Chris Dickerson sprained his ankle and will be re-examined tomorrow. But hey, they're not in last place anymore!
Let this thread be what you want it to be tonight. The topics are up to you!

So who's taking C-Dick's roster spot?
Crabman? Heisey?
I’m thinking it could be Heisey. He’d probably be called up when rosters expand anyway.
And who’s taking Harang’s start?

Maloney is pitching tonight
At least, he’s listed in the lineup. If he’s going to start on Wednesday, I would think they’d skip his start tonight.
Sam LeCure is on the 40-man.
Or there’s the soul-sucker, Ben Jukich. He’s not on the 40 man, but would have to be added this year if they Reds want to keep him.
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
holy cow
Matt Maloney is 6 for 19 at the plate. With a home run. He’s batting .316!
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
the new left fielder!
When does Bruce come back? Though I assume he’ll do rehab first…

I haven't heard anything about Jay Bruce
Though he looked healthy enough riding that roller coaster with his wrist in a cast.
Maloney is pitching tonight, so I guess he’s not getting the call. (He must be wondering what he has to do.)
They’re playing with the DH tonight, so one of their best hitters is out of the lineup. ;-)
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
That is very good!
I saw Dusty use him to pinch hit once, but I though that was just Dusty being Dusty. Maloney actually has strong hitting numbers, I’m sure it would level off with more ABs, but it still looks impressive.
I bet its corky miller
Or Doofus McDoorknob
Harang…fucker needs to get up out of bed and get his ass back on the field. Its just a scratch, he’s a big guy.
One tequila, two tequila, three tequila, floor.
George Carlin
he is out
wow what a game for the 42 year old righty.

A picture tells a 1,0000 words
Dusty -"Chris. man you oK?"
Chris -Arrrgh shit…mother fuck a duck"
Dusty" Ok you’re done..on the DL"
Chris "C’mon Skip, just give me a minute.."
Dusty"Hey take some time, Wily is ready noww and just in time."

Frazier
just hit a 2-run homer.
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
and I think he's playing against his brother
Toledo’s lineup includes an outfielder named Jeff Frazier. Who, like Todd Frazier, was born in Point Pleasant, NJ.
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
yeah, but did Jeff play in the little league ws?

Damn, I was going to go to that game tonight, too.
Canceled at the last minute because I remembered I had a fantasy football draft.
With the way my draft went, I should have gone to Toledo.
Toledo is never the right decision

Toledo's now winning
Let’s just say that Maloney didn’t exactly make his case.
Jeremy Bonderman in to close it out. And they don’t even have a Gameday photo of him.
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
What about Hanigan, too?
I missed most of the game, but Yahoo says:
Catcher Ryan Hanigan received a mild concussion on a foul tip off Young’s bat in the eighth. He was replaced by Craig Tatum, and Baker said Hanigan was day to day.
Let me write out a formal proof for you.
took a foul tip right to the forehead
with his catchers mask on.
"Plain and simple, I wake up in the morning and piss excellence"
According to Dr. Brantley
Hanigan took the foul tip off the chin.

brother
He’s got a concussion but they aren’t DLing him?
They’ve got to call up another catcher, don’t they? They can’t go with just one. Especially when the emergency catcher is the starting SS.
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
they'll DL him on Wednesday

Diagnosis: SARS.

We can talk about anything we want?
well, after playing 2 hours of soccer, I had the following for dinner:

39 games left
How many will we lose? Predictions please
Anybody savy with projections run a silmulation?
Watching Sport Science this guy is getting kicked in the balls with 1000lbs of force kick. I am convinced he does not have testicles.

10 wins
To bring us to exactly 100 losses.
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
and probably
Arroyo, Wells, and Owings for us.
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
I predict 2/3 to the Reds, but lots of runs. HRs from Gomes, Rolen and BP and somewhere in there a crazy one like Rosie or Janish.
Janish
with the walkoff grand slam.
After he’s come in as the backup catcher.
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
and the relief pitcher,
at the same time. Bugs Bunny-style.

HRs allowed (so far)
31 Loop
25 Royo
18 Supp
18 Bush
18 Micah
01 Kip
-——-
08 Stormy
06 DiFelice
05 Masset
04 Cup ‘o
04 li’l Shaq
Sixty seven HRs allowed by 3 starters… (incoherent mumbling)
Yeah I was entering it and hadn't hit post yet
Then I saw yours pop up. I still stand by the 24 losses.

soar?
It’s already 49.50. Over 50 would be a negligible increase.
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
e:60 episode
is showing parents who utilize sperm donations from ncaa athletes because they want their child to have an athletic advantage right off the bat. one donor has 16 spawn whose parents all requested an athletic father donor.
unreal. this land is full of nutjobs…
"Plain and simple, I wake up in the morning and piss excellence"
that could be trouble
Unless they all used in vitro and selected only males. They could end up growing up and marrying each other, without realizing they’re siblings.
The odd thing is…there’s often an intense attraction between people who are related but did not grow up together. There are some really bizarre things going on now, with all these adopted people searching out their biological families. Not just siblings, but parents and the children they gave up as babies.
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
Strangely
I’d like to know (in a watching-a-train-wreck kind of way) how Bubba knows this about siblings who don’t grow up together.

only from what I learned in school
Google genetic sexual attraction.
When you grow up with someone, you “imprint” on them, and are usually not sexually attracted to them. In Israeli kibbutzim, it was expected that the children would grow up and marry, but they didn’t. Having been raised communally, they thought of each other as siblings and were not attracted (even though they were not actually related).
But if you are separated at a young age and raised separately from your family, you don’t get that imprint. And you may end up feeling strong attraction to people who are related to you…apparently because there’s tendency to be attracted to people who are like you.
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
Is it possible to get, like,
between 8 and 12 athletic babies at once?
He sits alone...Reds are not home.
I predict 9 more Redleg wins
And the appearance of Corky this week, along with the arrival of Darnel McDuck.
Since we can talk about anything who wants to talk a little LPGA ? US Women Bring Home the Sondheim Cup. Although he probably never wore one unless he was broadway dancer in his youth. That Michelle Wie was on fire and looking cute as a button!
However Paula Creamer led the Charge
And Natali Gulbis brought up the rear

Off topic: things I learned tonight
If you’re trying to conceal the identity of a corpse make sure you cut the fake breasts off.
also
If you’re planning to steal plastic surgery, ask the surgeon for your old implants back before you skip out.
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
why isn't Michael buried yet?

My hypoth: He’s busy getting mummified.
What do you mean, "blank slate"?
i heard he was getting plasticized
and put on permanent display at Neverland
