A couple of thoughts I had last night…
–Seeing Grant Balfour pitching so well for Tampa Bay makes me wish the Reds had stuck with him. Could we use that guy?
–They kept showing David Ross in the Boston dugout last night, and he looked like he was having a great time. Good ...

A correspondent sent this link to me with the comment, “Dusty wants to ruin some EVEN YOUNGER arms…”. I would say that it’s evidence that Baker is fully on-board with the youth movement:
This weekend, Baker will be the fill-in coach for 9-year-old son Darren’s ...

Corey Patterson isn’t the only offensive sinkhole who has been shown the door ; Paul Bako will not be coming back either. Rejoice!
The off-season is progressing remarkably well so far.

Joey Votto has won the National League’s Rookie of the Month award for September. Now attention turns to the Rookie of the Year award. I’m not so sure why everyone assumes that Chicago catcher Geovany Soto should win:
Votto and the Cubs’ Soto are considered the two main ...

I’m getting really tired of seeing my favorite teams on lists like this: “ Baseball’s Most Embarrassing People, Places and Things “:
Bob Castellini and Walt Jocketty, Owner and General Manager Cincinnati Reds
There are many ways to handle indignant fans. You could buy ...

I’m back from a golf trip and it seems like the Reds 2008 season ended months ago. Guess I needed this trip. Just wish I weren’t so terrible at golf. Either way, I’m recharged and ready for some more baseball.
Unfortunately, the only baseball taking place now does not ...

From MLB.com :
Buchholz, whom the Reds selected out of the University of Delaware in the sixth round of June’s First-Year Player Draft, hit .396 in 134 at-bats for Billings. He flirted with .400 for nearly two weeks at season’s end before going “only” 1-for-4 in his ...

If you hadn’t heard, the Cardinals signed Kyle Lohse to a big-money, four-year contract. Rob Neyer (subscription required) says it’s a big mistake, and even invokes the dreaded name of Eric Milton.
It’s not near as bad as that, but it’s a contract that the Cardinals ...

Another brutal season for the Reds has ended and left us with nothing again but hope for next season. There are legitimate reasons for hope for next season. We actually now have in place the makings of a good pitching staff and a core of talented bats. There still remain areas for significant ...

Well, 2008 ended with a thud. When do pitchers and catchers report, again?
Use this thread to discuss all the moves the Reds need to make to be competitive next year. Actually, use it to discuss anything you want, including Junior Griffey’s game today against the Tigers.

Adam Pettyjohn and Kyle Lohse go head-to-head this afternoon in the final game of the 2008 season. Another forgettable season in Redleg Nation, but it’s still sad to see it end.
Discuss it here….

Aaron Harang’s last start of the season tonight against St. Louis. If you had told me in April that Harang would be trying to get only his 7th win of the season on the next-to-last day of 2008, I wouldn’t have been a bit surprised to find out that the Reds were 74-86, and in 5th ...

–Closer Francisco Cordero had surgery yesterday “to remove a bone spur in his right foot, an injury that manager Dusty Baker said the pitcher has dealt with all season.” Sounds like an excuse for what has been a not-especially-brilliant season by the former All-Star.

Well, it’s been quite a frustrating year, but I’m really sad that this is the last series of the 2008 season. On the other hand, ending this terrible year — the 8th straight losing season for our beloved Reds — means that we can put it behind us and try to hope that 2009 ...
