How long before it is mentioned on the broadcast that these two pitchers won a World Championship together with the 2004 Red Sox? I say it gets mentioned in the first 2 minutes.
As frustrating as Bronson Arroyo has been this year, it should be noted that he makes $5.5 million less this season the Derek Lowe, and $4 million less next season. Granted, Lowe was a much better pitcher and I'd probably pick him to be the better pitcher next year despite the fact that he's 4 years older, but he's also getting paid to be a better pitcher. Is Arroyo too expensive for the Reds? Maybe. Is his salary in line with his performance? Definitely.
It'll be interesting to see how the "young Reds" peform during this 10-day, 3-city road trip that will cover 3 different time zones. On top of that, they don't actually have another off day until September 21st. Add to that the fact that the only team currently under .500 that the Reds will face over the next 17 days is the Houston Astros, and we've got the makings of one brutal stretch of baseball. If they can manage to be over .500 during the next 17 games, well I may just start revving up the 2010 playoff bus right now!
It's gonna be a beautiful weekend, at least in Cincinnati. I hope everyone has a safe one and celebrates your mom going into labor. (That's what we're celebrating, right?)

That's pretty much the best lineup we can ask for at this point in the season
So, kudos on the lineup, Dusty!
i dont know
we could really use a big RH bat
by Charlie Scrabbles on Sep 4, 2009 5:50 PM EDT up reply actions
It probably wasn't any kind of high priority to get one
If it had been, they would have gone out and got someone in the offseason or something.
all joking aside
Gomes has been that guy. unfortunately, he’s only gotten 2/3 the PAs that Nix has.

Lingerie Football
kicks off tonight. Full tackle football, not much in the way of protective gear.
Why do I have a feeling the teams aren’t made up of the best football players available?

basically, Arroyo will have more wins, generally speaking, than someone with a smaller standard devation. “Good Pitcher” is a bit subjective, but wins are what matters, right?

posnaski is a great writer
i cant wait to read it also.
but Ball Four is the best baseball book ever.

For being older than dirt that guy looks pretty good. Still very sharp.

i read it every year, after the WS. i also read Foul Ball likewise.
Do yourself a favor and get the newest copy, Jimmy (whom i email regularly) has updated the original manuscript a few times.
"Plain and simple, I wake up in the morning and piss excellence"
I never finished Ball Four.
I don’t even know where my copy is. I think my attention span is too good for that book, if that’s possible.
its in my top 5 books ever
and its the only baseball book.
Brian, you have to read it one offseason.

I don't know what I'll be drinking tonight
Have a friend from high schoo driving up from St. Louis to visit, and I don’t know what he drinks anymore. We have a wide selection, but the one thing I know he drinks (Miller Lite) has been baking in the garage all winter.
On the bright side...

it's great
we saw Acerpyp tonight, I think Bubba’s right. Even though he had some jams hegot out of them and played through pain. He definitely had tiger eyes tonight. And he is hotter than Barry Zito for sure now.
Feels good to win again
It also feels great for Bronson to get the win after the game he pitched. He is such a man after taking that hit in the back and staying in and pitching well.
I’m sorry to see Joey get another ofer but he got two walks and Brandon Phillips had another great game. It’s a lot more fun to watch this team than the one with Willy T on it.
