I don't think this cat is going to be a "nobody" for much longer.
Just like I don’t believe Cueto, Wood, and Volquez will be in the “who?” class much longer.

Is there a ghost in my house?

What if the clone has a legal sex change?

This is absurd
it is still so psychologically and subconsciously disgusting, no one would do it. Besides, were you cloned at birth? Beause if not, it’s probably pedophilia as well.

David Gerrold
(author of the Trek Classic episode “The Trouble With Tribbles”) wrote a book called “The Man Who Folded Himself.” I think it involved time travel rather than cloning, but the hero did go back in time and have sex with his earlier self. And he asked the very question you raised: is it incest or masturbation?
I believe he also encountered female versions of himself. No sex change, but clones that were genetically modified so they were him as he would have been as a woman.

my grandmothers could cook
But they didn’t really like it.
One ran a restaurant. She cooked all day for a living, so wasn’t too keen on doing it at home, too. Her favorite thing is gambling in Reno. The other made ordinary food that was pretty good, but she didn’t particularly like it. Her love is orchids. She could made orchids bloom that no one else could.

The last time Votto had a game...
where he brought zero offense to the table? September 5. Before that? August 20. In all other games, he’s had at least a hit, a walk, an RBI ground-out, something. Dude’s awesome.
Just a pick-me-up.
I can think of two games he started where he didn't contribute...

and I don’t even feel dirty for saying it, which is a good feeling.
In honesty, I think it would be a lot of fun if the Cubs were decent as well, and the Reds beat out the Cubs and Cards in an exciting race. We don’t have much competition this year because the NL Central is embarassingly bad.
I only saw the bottom of 6
and it was a frustrating one. I think Votto needs a day off, he looked really frsutrated too.
Don’t worry, though, this is just setting up the illie Bloomquist pinch hit HR to save the game

Question: Who's our 3rd baseman of the future?
My knowledge of the farm system is based solely on the FO reports. But I don’t recall any third baseman love coming from there. And no, END is not the answer.
Frazier I think is the closest
I’m by no means sold on him.
by Brendanukkah on Sep 14, 2010 9:01 PM EDT up reply actions
he's 27 and has played one full season at AAA
without particularly strong abilities in any given facet of the game

Frazier, if he gets his shit together
END, if he figures out how to hit major league pitching. Negron could end up there if Cozart is for real. And if none of those work out, we’re looking at a Neftali Soto/David Vidal down the line, and Torreyes has made some huge steps this year.

I think they've given up on Frazier
at least as a third baseman. He played mostly LF this year and last. He’s listed as an outfielder on the roster and on his player page.
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
Eh, I still think he could do it
I think the reason why he played mostly OF is because they didn’t have anyone else to play there and they had Francisco on the roster at 3B.

they didn't have Francisco at 3B last year

That tells me they don’t see Frazier as a legit 3B.

What's with MLBTraderumors making a list of the Top 9 Teams...
with their starting rotations set for next year (versus adding an arm in the off-season), plus three honorable mentions, and the Reds don’t make the list?
Our bevy of starters doesn’t make the top twelve “set” teams in the MLB?
Even if you take off the fringy guys
There are at least 5 major league caliber starters here. Period.

i think Trade Rumors left them off that list

And that will get you nowhere in a playoff series

That wasn't the subject of the post, was it
It was about which teams have 5 solid starters and don’t need to be venturing much into the market. Even if the Reds can upgrade, they still fit that bill.

Because
the Reds are 16-31 against the other six teams in contention for an NL playoff spot — the Phillies, Braves, Cardinals, Padres, Giants and Rockies.
I'm sure you all know me.
I'm not being a smartass, seriously
I looked around a little bit today for it but got distracted by my “job”. What are those six teams’ records against teams with winning records?
"Nothing wakes you up on a cold January morning like hot horse-piss." - Kevin Mitchell is Batman
Against those 6 teams:
PHI: 24-15
COL: 31-20
ATL: 20-16
SDP: 21-27
SFG: 22-28.
So three of those teams have a pretty decent record against the others (3 out of six with winning records, AMAZING), and Cincinnati is definitely the worst.
The real point is that the regular season isn’t really a fantastic predictor of what happens in the postseason. The World Champion 2006 Cardinals had a season record of 4-11 against the teams they later went 11-5 against in the playoffs.

Because I watched the White Sox in 2000
when I lived in Chicago. They made the playoffs all right, but they lost almost every game they played in September.
Big shock (not): they got routed in 3 playoff games.
The Reds don’t beat good teams, and lately we’re not scoring any runs and the bullpen sucks. Watching a team come this far, then collapse is depressing whether we’re “division champions” or not.
I'm sure you all know me.

Certainly not playing like you'd want at this point in the season
Time to catch some of that 2006 Cards magic.
We're all mad here. I'm mad. You're mad. Otherwise, you wouldn't have come.
I ask you this simple question
If someone had told you the Reds would win the NL Central at 1:00 PM on April 5th, 2010, what would your reaction have been?
Let’s not forget where we are, and where we’ve been for the last ten years. This team’s not perfect or a powerhouse by any stretch of the imagination, but you know what? I’ll take them every day of the damned week.

"Please don't bother me when I'm taking a poo."
That’s just a guess though, I’ve changed a lot since then.
This team wouldn't be so bad if it weren't for all the kipper-snacks.
I said YOU, not Dusty

Dusty is an idiot!
Bloomquist was obviously supposed to get the game winning hit and if he had pinch hit, iwe would have won!

Yes, I would say there will be some pitchers on the playoff roster

that might be too many
For the post-season, a lot of teams go with 10 or 11 pitchers.

and infielders and outfielders, I hope

did the site lock up on anybody else?
"Nothing wakes you up on a cold January morning like hot horse-piss." - Kevin Mitchell is Batman
yes
my internet connection is awful (ever since I got my video card fixed) but it definitely locked up
crapppy to mediocre left hander tomorrow
we’re going to be held to 1 run at best until the bullpen comes in! UIn other news, Randy Wells is DEALIN
I am pleased to inform you that it doesn't matter. :)

Ahem.
The home run lead, a certain Canadian superman, ring any bells?
This team wouldn't be so bad if it weren't for all the kipper-snacks.
I didn't consider that, hhhmmm
"Nothing wakes you up on a cold January morning like hot horse-piss." - Kevin Mitchell is Batman
yep it's important for Votto's
MVP campaign, he just needs toi show he is “more valuable than Pujols” and it might be a lock up. However that annoying Gonzalez guy could make a run. I really don’t like that guy!
But it might matter for the "Votto for MVP" campaign we're advertising here.
If Pujols misses any length of time that all but locks it up for Jo-eh, right?
I know we’re not supposed to care about individual accolades but we all want him to win MVP.
