I just think Griffey and Cincinnati have been a terrible fit.  It makes me sad everytime I think of it.  We've been awful, and he's barely played.  That's just not how it should have turned out.

technically
any ball that bounces more than 6 inches high is over his head, so most balls do take a bad hop for him.

Southern Cross
I was torn on whether to include it.  I absolutely LOVE the song, and I go crazy when he plays it live (maybe in part because he always plays it late when I have a few cocktails in me).  However, I always think of it as a Crosby, Stills and Nash song.  CSN was obviously first, and is just a much better version of the song.

Energy, maybe...
but it doesn't have the soul of CSN's version.  The Coral Reefers are great, but nobody can match the harmony in the chorus on the original.  It's amazing....7 different people can listen to it, they'll hear 7 different melodies, and they all sound good.

Agreed...
I think Jimmy's version benefits from not being recorded in a studio.  Every version he's released of it has been a live version.  Therefore the energy of the song and the crowd is able to come through more easily..

Question.

What do you think of Uncle John's Band and Scarlet Begonias?  You like Jimmy's version or the Dead's?

Dead
as far as "Uncle John's Band" goes.  I love Buffett as a songwriter and performer, but he's just not a great vocalist.  He can't carry a song like "Southern Cross" or "Uncle John's Band" the way David Crosby or Jerry Garcia can.  I've honestly never heard Buffett's version of "Scarlet Begonias."

It's on Licenst to Chill, which was his best album since Fruitcakes in my opinion.

I think he expected me to find the highest ever
but I'm not sure I could if I wanted to.  I knew that he knew that you knew that I knew that you knew that 31 isn't the right total number for tonight.  It's the highest I've ever seen too, but I'm sure it's not a record.

I was one that thought Krivsky
would be good. Although he was my second choice (to the much-maligned Paul DePodesta).

Haven't posted much recently, and games like tonight are a big reason why. Apathy is starting to take over.

It was You!
So you're the blame for this mess!

Yeah, haven't seen you around much lately.

Yeah, works been hectic
and the Reds are too depressing to even think about right now.

If I recall...
I believe JD praised the move as well (though DePodesta was his first choice as well).

Are you saying we should ban the maker?

Funny quote from Ryan Franklin
Re. Kelly Stinnett: "He's pretty much learning as it goes," reliever Ryan Franklin said. "I had to tell him all seven of my pitches in a matter of like, 30 seconds."

All seven of his pitches?  Since when does he have anywhere close to that many?  "Uh, look Kelly, they're all gonna be pretty much straight down the middle.  Even if they clobber it, hey, I'll throw it again."

Wow!
Looks like I missed all the fun last night... I need to stop passing out in the 6th inning.  At least I can count on the Reds blowing the lead late, just like always.  Screw you, Jerry.

passing out in the 6th
avoids the pain and misery of the 8th
