  I would not weaken the Reds by trading any of the starting 13 (everyday starters plus 5 starting pitchers) right now.  I would ride the storm out with what I've got, unless someone is willing to give the Reds a...

  This is why they pay you the big bucks, Mary.  I didn't even think about that.  Then again, most people say I rarely think at all.VOTE VOTTOMATIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!...

  Another excellent starter!  Mary-2.1 should be right on, if the Reds do not get Lee.  When the Reds get Lee, I see 2.5-2.75 prior to the Post Season.I hope everyone in Cali is OK after that speed bump last night.I...
• Commented on 07-02-2010 GAME THREAD Reds v. Cubs.......Jay Bruce is My Hero, V.2
  First and foremost, I didn't like the idea of a lefty starting in Wrigley-especially a rookie in his first start.  Travis made me eat my words.  What a stellar performance yesterday.  Is Masset now like Good Bronson/Bad Bronson, only less...
• Commented on 07-01-2010 GAME THREAD Reds v. Cubs.......Jay Bruce is My Hero
  How about the Reds save a little money, spend $250 on an eye exam for Stubbs and turn him into Spuds the 2nd?    So he plays center instead of second...and it's twenty years later...I still like the idea.  The...
• Commented on 06-29-10 GAME THREAD: The Phillies vs. The Reds -- Red Against Red, How Can You Tell the Players without a Program?
  Haven't been on for some time-usually lurking, though.  Great starter, Dennis!  I prefer the 1960's "P" and the "Wishbone C-REDS" logos.  I don't know anything about Leaky Ps...my daughters have outgrown that stage and I haven't (thank the stars above)...
• Commented on 6-16-10 GAME THREAD: Cut! Take Two: Reds Look to Run Over Trolley Dodgers
  I didn't jump ship.  Although, when I turned the game on and it was 3-0 as WLW broke in with the weather warning I thought, "Oh no!"  I was correct in my assumption.  I do believe Leake and Arroyo will...

  I find it ironic that Butter Jesus got toasted (or it's now the Torchdown Jesus) and Hustler Hollywood is uscathed across the street. ESPN has to make the NBA Playoffs sound like Days of Our Lives because no one's watching....
• Commented on 06-09-2010 GAME THREAD: Reds vs. Giants....Well, At Least We're Still in 1st Part II
  I am FAR away from a professional athlete.  I was a running back in high school at 5'8", 170lbs.  There wasn't a D-1, 1-AA or D-2 school looking at me then-even though I was pretty fast for that time period...

  Because I dislike harangues, let me just say I hope Aaron eschews Haranging curves tonight and the hitters can elucidate their befuddlement....

  As long as Strasbourg is consistent (as with any pitcher) with his pitches, he won't get his Aztec kicked....

  Stormy's "in shape".  What shape?  By who's standards?  Welsh, Irish or German?  I'm 45 and I'm in shape to play 18 holes with a cart, very poorly.Look, Weathers pitched lights out 2 years ago, but he was faltering when he...

  Make sure one of the four you play is Longaberger-well worth the greens fees. Stay away from the Phoenix-it is a former landfill and the methane odor can get to you by the 6th hole. Other than that, you know...

  Hey...did any of you hear about the Pirate "Mutiny" the other day?All the Pirates wanted to play cards, but the Captain was standing on the deck.Harrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrooooooooooooooan!Anyhoo, I look at the back end of this lineup and see good speed potential. ...

  Great starter, Dennis.  But, "Pi-rates"?  Really?According to Homer, the shoulder is just stiff.  I'm wondering if the Reds can switch to the American League so we can get Gomes and Nix in the lineup together-all they do is hit home...

  You should have heard Jordan's interview on the Golf Channel (I know, I'm a golf geek). the interviewer told him if he were a pro he would have received $90K. To that, he provided, "That's a 'Pimped-Out' new ride," and...

  Never had 5 Guys or In-N-Out. Fatburger and Red Robin are excellent. I typically make them at home, anyway. I truly hope Cueto has it figured out. These young guns need to catch fuego....

  It IS a wonder the Reds are at .500. Just think if some of the stupid stuff they've done so far did not happen...OK, that sentence made my head hurt I didn't think it was legal to "exclude" media. And...

  Now just get every other Bowl sponsor to drop. Good luck with that. I would love to see a Division 1 (B[c]S, whatever) playoff happen. Before that happens, a big name company will pay the NCAA to sponsor the "Championship"...
• Commented on Thinking out loud 4.30.10
  I totally agree, CTR. The Reds/Bengals lose a couple and all hell breaks loose. When they win a couple, no one can stop them (except the baseball Cardinals and the Ravens-last year was a fluke). I hope the Reds can...

  Great job on the starter, Mary.  I had no idea Jimmy Wynn was a Hamiltuckian (sorry-can't help it).  It makes me wonder how many little-known locals the Reds have let go (or never got in the first place).  Youkilis still...
• Commented on 04-27-10 GAME THREAD: Reds vs. Astros. . . Batting Order Shuffled, Harang's Pangs, Dog Yapping and More!
  Bailey and Cueto looked better last time out.  Leake has had good, quality starts.  I haven't seen Harangatan's release point yet, I hope to get a glimpse tonight.  Arroyo is Arroyo, or as I call him, "Yo-Yo"-up one game, down...

  I realize baseball isn't golf, but I used to love some of the "dead air" on the radio back in the day. The mikes would pick up the "COOOOOOOOOOLD BEEEEEEEEEER HEEEEEEEEEEEEERE!" and the occasional fan heckling from the cheap seats....

  Hopefully, Mike won't "Leake" many pitches tonight.  I would really like to see a starting pitcher get through 7 innings and this kid seems to be as close as anybody.Singles and doubles, tonight, guys.  A homer or two would be nice, but...
