PrintAfter a dubious first attempt at crossing over into a new medium last week, Red Reporter is once again going to give a shot at this talk show thing. Join us tonight with your questions and comments about the Cincinnati Reds or whatever is on your mind. The show will start right around 9:30 PM ET and will take place using TalkShoe again. If you want to join the conversation, you can reach us via the TalkShoe software, available here, or you can call into the show and listen that way at (724) 444-7444 with the show code as 58957. The call is toll free, though minutes will be used for cell plans and such. If you want to listen, but only want to make your views known via text, or not at all, you can join the conversation via the link above without actually having to talk.
I hope you'll join us. Hopefully we won't suck too much this week, but we're still learning to do this. It feels a bit too much like being out of the basement though.
Tonight's topics:
- Winning, boy that sure beats losing.
- Minor League update.
- What will the 2010 rotation look like?
- Preview of the Giants series.
- If you could see one make believe concert, who would it be?
Plus, we'll take your questions about whatever is on your mind.

We’ll likely talk a bit about John Hughes too, since, you know, he died today.

I'm sure Silent Bob weeps today
“cause he’s all in love with this John Hughes guy and rents every one of his movies”
I once defended the managerial styles of Jerry Narron after a Reds loss in a bar after a long night of drinking. I wish I could say that I don't remember doing that.
that's unfortunate--he died too young
I love Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, but I’m not into much of his other work. He did get Anthony Michael Hall started, though, which I appreciate because I enjoyed his work on the Dead Zone quite a bit. (a little random)
I think Lou should name is baby 'Addison Clark'
Tee-hee!

you should add "favorite jimmy buffett concert memories" to the topics discussed
"I piss excellence"
The people who attend Jimmy Buffet concerts generally don't remember their evenings

not sure if I'll be able to make it
but I’ll shoot for the chat session. Last show was a lot of fun!
Victor Martinez
cried when they told him he was being traded. He came up in the Cleveland system, and didn’t want to leave.

I saw a clip of him on BBT after he was traded and looked a bit broken up
that’s sad to hear. A special relationship does develop between fans and players that came through a team’s minor league system
Probably the first time someone has cried over being traded FROM Cleveland

I dunno
McLouth cried when Pittsburgh traded him, when you’d think he’d be jumping for joy.
I suspect it’s not the city, or the fans, or the franchise. It’s the teammates. They spend more time with their teammates than with their own families, at least during baseball season.
I’ve heard that’s the most upsetting thing for contestants voted off “The Bachelor.” It’s not the bachelor; they don’t really care about him. It’s living in the house with all the other contestants – the bond with the other girls. Suddenly, you’re not part of it any more.
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
that makes sense
I think it would be very difficult to get suddenly uprooted even if it’s part of your job and something you’ve done in the past
Bah, a perfectly good dig at Cleveland
And you people go and ruin it with your empathy and understanding!

It's probably easier if you've done it before
It was the first time for McLouth and Martinez. They’d never played for any other organization.
Bubba Crosby was upset when the Yankees cut him. He didn’t overturn any lockers, or complain about his treatment, or even curse (as others in his situation have). He just politely declined to talk to the press, and left. They got kind of bent out of shape about that, probably because he’s usually so accommodating.
During spring training the next year, when the Reds went to Legends Field, the NY press finally got a chance to talk to Bubba about it. They asked him why he got so upset when he was cut; didn’t he know it was coming?
He said yes, he knew it was coming. But he’d been with those guys for three years, and he was just “too emotional” to talk about it right then.
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
I think the press is really unfair sometimes
I know being accomodating is something players have to be, but the press should understand, occasionally, that a person needs space.
On a more serious note
Hal McCoy is being put out to pasture. It’s a sad day in Reds land.
"My brain is almost the size of normal human being," he said. "Almost. Real pleased with that." -Scott Rolen
oh no!
I’m not a major Hal fan, and sometimes he rubs me the worng way, but I enjoyed his column. That bites.
Yeah it really does
As you and BubbaFan stated above it’s hard to be suddenly uprooted. I would bet it’s even harder when it’s been 37 years.

Son of a gun.
Truly the end of an era. Hal, this makes me sad.
"If it wasn't this, it'd be something else."
This is sad
And kind of bullshit because I bet he’s one of the only writers people read at that paper. But it is indicative of the sad dysfunctional state of papers.
Isn't there a slanket somewhere you should be filling with your farts?

Well I'm shocked.
An institution.
I thought the DDN would ride Hal until they’ve printed their last word.
anyone read Fay's "tribute" to Hal on his blog?
It was nice and all, but damn, if you’re writing a farewell to a guy you’ve worked closely with for years, take the time to spell and grammar check.
It was so full of mistakes I could barely read it. That’s pretty disrespectful IMO.

Par for teh course with him, I'm afriad.

Which is ridiculous considering when you post a comment on his blog
If you spell something wrong, there’s a red line under it. I would imagine they could have the same type of thing for the guy running it.

Who is this stooge doing the Yankees-Red Sox game?
He’s going on about how exciting it was for him to be there the night Pete broke Cobb’s record with hit number 4,191 off Eric Show. Dumbass.
Shurn?

Did I call him Shearn some?
They’re basically the same pitcher in my head.

Yes.
Three times. And I tried to make a joke about it and nobody got it because you thought I was talking about Justin Lehr. You ruin fun!

fun chat
it is honestly better than a lot of local sports talk I think alot of those guys really don’t know what they’re talking about.
thanks for the call!

I wanted to get on the air but whoever was screening the calls kept disconnecting me
Mads “Hello, this is Mads can I speak to Slyde?”
Screener “Mads isn’t real…” click
Mads “Hey, Hello..really this is Madville, can I get on the air with Slyde…I want to talk about…”
Screener" Hal, its ok to use your real name, sorry about the DDN gig…" click
Mads" Hi this isn’t Mads…its Hal…" Click
Mads" Can I please talk to Slyde"
Screener" No."
Oh well maybe next time.

the show sounded good
and by the way, i was joking about the Dimebag Darrell concert. i dont much care for Pantera or murder.
by Charlie Scrabbles on Aug 7, 2009 8:55 AM EDT reply actions
It was just...unexpected
Now sure how you build upon a murder concert, or much worse how you build upon someone who wants to see Pantera in concert.

Wow
I did call him Shearn a lot, didn’t I?
I gotta see if I can work on the crappy audio quality.
