Red It, Watched It, And Wept - Week of 1/27/12

Covering what other writers are too scared too preoccupied with actual news to cover.
Ever since half our writing staff quit to go create outer space themed mad libs write speeches for the Newt Gingrich campaign, we've had a hard time adhering to our self-imposed Friday afternoon deadline. We could have avoided this delay by simply copying and pasting seven Tweets from John Fay. However, if we do that now, what are we going to do once we lose 18 hours a week from watching baseball?
Saturday: The Rheds are on the Rhadio!
Marty Brennaman has placed the Reds on notice that he wants to do more broadcasts with his son, Thom Brennaman. At this point in his career, Marty gets what Marty wants (see: Dunn, Adam). What does this mean for 2012 Reds fans? Well, here’s a Wordcloud from their most recent co-broadcast:

Sunday: If Political Reporter Was Interesting
We are all pretty much resigned to the fact that the Votto Window™ will be closing over the next 24 months. After that, we can brace ourselves for a serious fire sale the likes of which not experienced since the Houston Astros traded Joe Morgan to the Reds. When it happens, let’s hope that our farm system is strong enough to prevent us from having to sign John Boehner to a minor-league deal.
* * *
Monday: #loldahocubs
Our Reds are known to make questionable at-bat music selections. From Miguel Cairo’s choice of "Sex on Fire" to Scott Rolen’s Coldplay collection; it seems too many Reds prepare to battle pitchers by listening to shocking mediocrity. These missteps, however, are nothing compared to the tympanic terrorism committed by the Idaho Cubs. After watching this, one quickly understands every meltdown Carlos Zambrano has had while wearing Cubbie blue.

Tuesday: Burger King Prince
Thomas Wolfe wrote "You Can’t Go Home Again," a novel that uses the ever-changing landscape of America as a central theme. Regardless of their understanding of this impossibility, at the end of the day, some still try to return home like swallows to San Juan Capistrano. When they get there, they realize their home has been gated up, their relationships have become strained, and their favorite foods no longer come served in non-biodegradable Styrofoam:
Prince Fielder McDonald's Commercial 1992 (via lundehund44)
* * *
Wednesday: I won't forget you, CoCo
We here at RIWIAW choose not to listen to Kanye West because sooner or later Girl Talk is going to condense all his good stuff into one song anyways. In that vein, we also choose not to follow anyone in the media on Twitter because the important stuff will get around to us sooner or later. After Tuesday’s hubbub with Prince Fielder died down, we discovered that Francisco Cordero signed a one-year deal with the Toronto Blue Jays for $4.5 million. Essentially this means that the Reds could have had an extra $3.5 million more to spend had they re-signed CoCo instead of Ryan Madson. This $3.5 million could have gone to this. Smart move.

Thursday: Comment of the Week!

Friday: Crisis Averted.

Theriot plays bad defense
and chance that somebody could slip Paul Janish some steroids so he can actually hit the ball out of the infield.

I don't get the Theriot signing
All he brings is offense, and he’s gonna be playing about 2/3 of the time in SF, SD, and LA. That’s great for a tourist, but near death for an offense-first middle infielder.

Jay is 24. He had a bad second half last year.
And most of that poor performance was because of the terrible, horrible, no good, very bad slump he had in his first 18 games after the All Star Break:
.246 / .354 / .348
[18 G – 89 PA – 62 AB – 12/3 BB/IBB – 21 SO – 17 H – 5/1 2B/3B – 0 HR – 2 GDP]
He’s 24 and he had a slump that kept his age 23 and age 24 seasons from somewhat resembling the production of Barry Bonds’s age 23 and age 24 seasons.
By the way, Bonds won his first NL MVP at age 25.

They hate him soooo much.
They sure are trying to run him outta town…although they picked on him less after mid-August, as if someone had said something to them.

you really think they're trying to run him out of town?
That seems crazy. I’m really astounded that broadcasters would be so hard on a player, especially one of their own.
And Jay Bruce? By all accounts, he’s an all-around nice guy.
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
"All-around nice guy"
You mean like Adam Dunn? Nah, Marty would never attack someone like that.
"You never know how you look through other people's eyes"
Nah...remember what a professional mentor and allaround good guy he was to Steve Stewart?
Scott Roland should retire tomorrow.
They are not intentionally trying to drive him out of town.
But their actions serve to do exactly that. Most folks in RedsLand™ listen to Thom and Marty, who are very vocal with their criticisms and tone when it comes to Stubbs. Their all-too-frequent,“Well, there he goes again,” is delivered with the tone that he’s stupid or stubborn for striking out often at the major league level at age 26. They do not get as impassioned about criticizing any other player on the roster, and they’ve been at it for years. I think it’s shitty, and I think they are both shitty broadcasters. Thom’s always been a douche who talks out of his ass at the drop of a hat, and whatever charm Marty still had died with Joe.

I always thought they went after Bruce and Stubbs pretty evenly.

I really like sneakers. I only own a couple pairs, so I’m not a “sneaker collector” or anything. If I had $100M to blow then I’d probably pick up a few more pairs.

If a guy is wearing flip flops then it should be warm enough and casual enough to wear shorts.
Shorts look goofy, too, but when it’s 95 degrees outside with humidity you don’t have much choice.

Shoes just aren’t a custom in Hawaii. You are expected to remove your shoes whenever you enter someone’s house, so you need something that’s easy to kick off and on.
A guy going out might wear flipflops, long pants, and an aloha shirt (not tucked in).
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
What about loafers? Those look a lot nicer than flip flops.
Plus, BP wasn’t in Hawaii when this photo was taken.

you'd look way overdressed
Even if you do the preppy thing and don’t wear socks.
I went to an expensive French restaurant with my parents the last time I went home. Dad wore flipflops. (I think we all did.) And it was perfectly appropriate.
Nice flipflops, mind. Not the cheap rubber ones. The kind we used to call “surfers” when I was a kid.

I think it’s fine for a guy to wear flipflops with long pants.
Others may disagree.

It's not like I think it's offensive or anything.
I just think it looks goofy. I would certainly not call BP out on this either. That guy has a license to do whatever he wants as long he keeps playing a phenomenal second base.

Right. He was at some meet-and-greety thing auditioning for his role as "face of the franchise"
I wear jeans and (leather) flip-flops quite often. I don’t like to wear shorts. I think they usually make adult men look ‘sloppy.’ (But I think I’ve probably worn flip-flops to church so take all this for what it’s worth.)
I have no problem with casual, fun casual, apathetic casual or even thumb-your-nose-at-em casual. But flip-flops and faux-ragamuffin jeans are pretty sartorially irresponsible for a millionaire who’s been asked by his employer to go make a nice impression somewhere.

I bet
they were told to wear jeans and their jerseys. (Do they take home some jerseys just for situations like this?)
They may have also been told not to wear regular shoes. They look like they’re in a school gym, and there are still gyms where they don’t like you to wear shoes, because they can damage the floor. That’s the reason for “sock hops” in the old days. “You both kicked off your shoes. Man, I dig those rhythm and blues.”

I have no experience with either
but I’d suspect both are about the same effectiveness. Each are just an activated charcoal filtration core with a hepa. I suspect design and durability will be the deciding factor. Amazon reviews seem to prefer the Pur. And yes, the OH Valley water sucks terribly. Don’t so much need a purifier, as much as a softener.

Comments about water quality from someone whom is an expert water chemist
There is no reason any should put filters or softeners on tap water that they drink. Public water companies do a very good job of maintaining quality and monitoring metal analysis. Plus – if the alternative is drinking bottled water, tap is generally “cleaner” because the plasticizers such as phthalates or BPA are released into the bottled tap water. Also these carbon filters or ion exchange units will become exhausted quickly due to the high hardness and chlorine present in tap water, making them basically useless.
OH valley water does not suck. The presence of sensory defects is seasonal. Warm weather and a low water table causes bacterial blooms that results in defects such as geosmin or methylisoborneol, which are detectable at part per trillion levels. The bacteria which created these defects are destroyed by the water treatment plant, but these by-products are difficult to remove. Basically it MIGHT make sense to use a Brita filter during a summer drought, but at no other time.
Our water is really great compared to warm weather areas such as FL.

Does it really taste better?
It might – but you need to do a scientific test. Set-up a blind taste test
Have 3 glasses put a piece of tape on the bottom labeling each one. Do 10 trials and if you get it right 5 or more times its definitely different.
It may or may not taste better, but that may not be the result of only what’s removed from the water. The contents of Brita’s filters are proprietary and I would not be surprised if there are adding trace levels of compounds which give water a “clean” taste, after their carbon impregnated filter-pad .

So this is why people with filters think their water tastes better?
because they aren’t drinking the water immediately after it comes out of the tap, rather it has some time to sit.

it definitely helps
Brita filters do something, but to your point you can get the same results by pouring water in a pitcher and letting it set overnight.
The thing about drinking tap water is that marketing people have turned it into a “branding” thing. Brita vs. Pur, Evain vs. Aquafina, etc. drinking from a tap does not have a brand and is therefore considered low-rent.
Its a global phenoma as well. Even in places with great municipal water like Belgium and France, bottled water is served ALL the time. In Europe they also drink it out of glass bottles(huge carbon-footprint with shipping, recylcing) but it also doesn’t give you plasticizers.

1ppm Chlorine does not cause bladder cancer
That’s the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard. Do a peer-reviewed journal search on that and get back to me.
Pipes do not cause a problem either. Always let water run to the drain a few seconds if you like, I do this. The contact time with pipes is minimal. Pipes are made of Iron and Copper and even under extreme conditions do not break down. (maybe after 40 years if your house was built with thin walled copper pipe) The rust you occationally see when you use a an old faucet is from that little metal thing (filter disk) on the faucet that is rusting.

I have chloramine instead of chlorine in my water. It doesn’t dissipate by just setting it out, and it isn’t removed by normal chlorine remover. (It is removed by Brita filters, but no way am I running 100 gallons of water through a Brita to fill my fishtanks.)
Chloramine was supposed to solve some of the problems caused by chlorine. It doesn’t taste as bad, and it’s more stable – doesn’t break down into carcinogens as easily as chlorine. But it has problems of its own.

microorganisms die and fish are poisoned by chlorine and chloramines
that’s the point. brewing sucks because it kills yeast. fish basically filter all water through there entire body, much like we breathe air.
those two are both pour examples because we have stomachs and skin to serve as barriers.
chloramine is more difficult to remove than chlorine and if you don’t like you need to filter it out, but it’s not poison.

Weddings are a very personal thing, IMO
If a girl wants a huge wedding or expensive gifts, it speaks to a huge ego and there will be problems down the road. Just my opinion of course.
I’ve been married twice and the best wedding gift I’ve received by far is my 2006 “Ball Boy” jersey from obc. I don’t need fancy shit; I just want the people I care about to be there for a huge moment in my life.
You’re on the right track – if you love that boy, it won’t matter whether you have an extravagant experience or if you get married out by a lake with 5 people there. It’s all about you and him, and the look in his eyes when you say “I Do”. THAT’S what love is.
"Wait, you think I'm being mean to the pretend orangutan?" -- battlekow
So I guess you didn't like the wedding gift I gave you...
I knew in my heart of hearts I should have gone with the "Ball Girl Jersey’ for the Peach.
Scott Roland should retire tomorrow.
the thought of a huge fancy wedding gives me a panic attack
I really don’t want to stand up in front of alot of people, many of whom I don’t really know.
If I get married I would rather it be in front of a small gathering.
Really I would rather just run of to Europe, get married over there and spend like a month bumming around Europe.

Word, yo!
I’ve long thought of RR as less of a “Reds blog” and more of “a blog where Reds fans talk about what’s on their mind.”
Often times (especially starting in April), that’s baseball…sometimes (like during Presidential elections), it’s not. As long as it’s civil, non-combative political talk that involves multiple posters sharing their opinions, I don’t really see a problem with it. It doesn’t mean I’m going to get involved, but that’s just my own prerogative.
Keep it classy and it’s all gravy, baby!

Minor redundancy often plays a disambiguating role in (spoken) language and is perfectly permissible
It is better avoided in writing, but this forum should hardly be governed by the standards of written communication, methinks, seeing as we are generally trying to converse casually/in vernacular.

All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
I respectfully disagree.
Yes, the 2011 Reds could have been the World Series champs under the right circumstances. However, St. Louis dramatically improved its team with a number of solid moves at the trade deadline. I think the true talent level of the 2011, post trade deadline Cardinals was significantly higher than that of the 2011 Reds.

No real moves at the deadline was as good as waving the white flag.
I don’t really blame Walt; it looked pretty hopeless.
But as it turns out, it wasn’t.
I wonder if he – and other GMs – will change their tactics. If they are really adding extra wild cards, then a Cardinals-like last minute surge will be even more possible. Get to the postseason, and anything can happen.
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?

yeah, "giving up" is a bit harsh.
I think they likely looked into “big” moves that would’ve made a huge “go for it” type impact (like Beltran, for instance), but probably just decided the cost was too high given the 2011 race and the 2012 roster.

Do I have that right?
There’s no talk of changing the Division Serieses from best-of-five to best-of-seven is there?

If Walt's goal all along was to win in 2012 then I'm fine with it,
but Walt didn’t do anything at the 2010 deadline when a big addition would have really helped that team in the playoffs.
I don’t classify any of this as “giving up.” I guess it’s just a difference in terms.

the front office had clearly given up by the trade deadline
And possibly earlier, with some of the personnel decisions they made.
Dusty hung in there until September or so. Maybe Walt told him it was time to give up, but he was clearly preparing for next year the last month, giving the Louisville Bats tryouts and switching players in and out so often he came close to running out in some games despite the expanded roster.
When the manager’s doing that, the players have to know that they aren’t expected to get to the postseason.
And heck, I’d include the fans. Many of us had given up by the trade deadline as well, and were calling for Ramon to be traded for prospects. We mocked the Cards fans for still thinking they had a chance. Turns out, they did.
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?

I don't know about dramatically
They added Jackson and Scrabble, right? Jackson only added about a win, and Scrabble only pitched in 22 innings. I think it had more to do with the rest of the team playing up to their talent level, and the Braves having a historic collapse.
The secret, is to hit the computer with a hammer
I would say a win in the last two months of the season is a pretty big deal.
They also added Furcal, who added 1.5 wins. They added Octavio Dotel.
In the aggregate, those are big deadline moves to me.

And damn, he played really well with them.
When I think back to that month and a half stretch they had (reluctantly, mind you), it still blows my mind. They had to have so many things go right for them (Braves collapsing, Carp pitching a gem on three days rest, shutting the Brewers mostly down, Game 6) that went right. I can almost appreciate it in a way.
The secret, is to hit the computer with a hammer
They made some smart moves and everything fell into place.
Everything and more went perfectly right for the Cardinals. For our sake, I hope that dealing away Rasmus comes back to bite them in the @$$.
