6 Things That Need To Happen

Wed, 9 Jul 2008 03:13:17 +1900

1. Move Sean Henry, Daniel Dorn, and Shaun Cumberland to AAA. If you don't plan on having Dunn next year you need to find out if any of these 3 guys can possibly be a part of the answer. 2. You find a place for Chris Dickerson at the major league level to see what he can offer. Likely involving cutting Corey Patterson loose. 3. Trade every player over the age of 26 on the major league ...

Cards eye a prize from Latin pool

Wed, 9 Jul 2008 03:37:37 +1900

TOWER GROVE — One of the players the Cardinals just signed from Latin America they found because they were looking at the same player as everyone else. On one of several trips to Venezuela for the Cardinals vice president of player development Jeff Luhnow, the Cardinals held a private workout with shortstop Cesar Valera and outfielder Yorman Rodriguez . The former signed with the ...

Harang And The Sabathia Deal

Tue, 8 Jul 2008 03:27:54 +1900

As most of you probably already know C.C. Sabathia is has been traded to the Brewers for Matt LaPorta "Zach Jackson, Rob Bryson, and maybe Taylor Green." Green is rumored to be a PTBNL. This just raises the question if half a season of a guy who isn't likely to resign in Milwaukee is worth a player like LaPorta how much could Aaron Harang be worth? continued...

Okay, here’s the plan

Tue, 8 Jul 2008 14:52:43 +1900

Reds need to win the next six games to cruise into the All-Star break two games over .500, ready to make a serious run at the Wild Card in the second half. It’s gonna happen! Ya’ gotta believe! I love it when a plan comes together.

By the pricking of my thumbs

Tue, 8 Jul 2008 14:27:00 +1900

It was a little fun, wasn't it? Just when I have myself believing that I am done with baseball for the year, that I cannot take any more disappointment, the Reds have to go out and get a four game sweep to move within four games of .500. Irrationality strikes again as we go into a six game road trip against the Chub$ and the Sausages. Time to gain a few games in the standings and climb back ...

Sun-Times 'Scoop' Broken Weeks Ago at Babes Love Baseball, College Baseball Blog

Mon, 7 Jul 2008 20:01:24 +1900

I noted this morning that the Chicago Sun-Times had a report on its front page about Husain Mahmoud, who was recently fired from his job as the baseball coach at Chicago State University. The front-page story says "a Sun-Times examination" uncovered that Mahmoud had lied on his resume, but in reality, that "examination" consisted of reading a couple of blogs that uncovered the story weeks ...

Six GMs on the Hot Seat

Wed, 2 Jul 2008 18:30:58 +1900

With the All-Star Game just around the corner, it’s time to look at which GMs are at risk of being shown the door at the mid-way point in the season. Already Wayne Krivsky of the Reds was fired and replaced by Walt Jocketty, followed by Bill Bavasi of the Seattle Mariners being let go in early June with his replacement being Lee Pelekoudas in the interim slot. Here's 6 others in the hot seat.

Rays to the Top

Mon, 7 Jul 2008 14:28:18 +1900

In the previous 10 seasons of their existence, the Tampa Bay Rays were never close to first place when they woke up on July 1. This season — after beating the Red Sox on June 30 — the Rays went to bed on June 30 knowing they would be on top of the AL East when action started in July. The closest they were before that was in 2000 when they sat in the AL East cellar and trailed ...

Dusty Baker Manages, Fails; Observes, Succeeds

It doesn't get much more painful for the keyboard-toting baseball enthusiast living in Mom's basement than the bottom half of the eighth inning of Monday night's Pittsburgh-Cincinnati game. Down 3-2, the Reds pieced together a walk and a single to start the home half of the inning against the Bucs' Damaso Marte with Joey Votto (.283/.343/.483 in 2008), Edwin Encarnacion (.246/.332/.462) ...

BakerMetrics Alert: Dusty Is Worse Than I Thought

Tue, 1 Jul 2008 03:23:22 +1900

Just when Dusty was getting his act together, and was starting to figure out how to build a decent line up Dusty takes 5 steps backwards. Let me run down the play by play for anyone who didn't see it. * The inning starts off with Adam Dunn walk * Corey Patterson comes in to pinch run * Brandon Phillips infield singles on a ball to the shortstop Then the weird shit starts. continued...

Something Is Happening

Fri, 4 Jul 2008 19:03:23 +1900

For the last 2 days on Reds broadcast people have been acting funny when talking about trades. Yesterday Jeff Piecoro seemed almost orgasmic when he said something along the lines of "with the trade rumors swirling", and today George Grande and Chris Welsh sounded very suspicious when they were talking about trades as well. Mentioning that they are smelling smoke and that its a "sellers ...

Reds Offered Inoa a Ton

Wed, 2 Jul 2008 20:51:47 +1900

Holy crap the Reds are ballsy. What's next the Reds offer Sabathia 250 million over 2 years? Honestly I don't think its going to be that big of a reach to think that Walt Jocketty will be trying to sign some big time free agent this off-season considering his past in St. Louis. He normally did it through trades though.

Washington Nationals outfielder Elijah Dukes will be sidelined for four to six weeks because of a knee injury suffered during a 3-2 loss to the Cincinnati Reds on Saturday night. Dukes tore cartilage and partially tore a tendon in his right knee when he slammed into the left-field wall after catching a flyball in the seventh inning. He grabbed his knee and was taken off the field on a cart. Dukes will have surgery on Monday. The Nationals didn't immediately replace him on the roster.

Rock Out With Your Bronson Out

Fri, 4 Jul 2008 03:23:48 +1900

(video via GMoney at Epic Carnival) So, I pretty much sat and watched every single Bronson Arroyo commercial (like this one that rules in ways I can't explain) on Youtube for a while and I noticed there's this thing he does at the end where he looks directly into the camera, with some sort of hard core look on his face. I am baffled by this. Anyone? [video]
