If we can salvage a 3-3 record on this road trip I will be more than happy...I think Homer found something in AAA...His K numbers were up and BB were down...The reason for ERA was horrible defense...

Well that certainly won't be a problem for him with the big club. :tongue2:

More scouts are watching the Cincinnati Reds with the idea of plucking a player or two for the stretch run.

One scout came to Great American Ball Park last week for his regularly scheduled visit, but he extended it to get another look or two at reliever David Weathers. Another scout swooped in for one night, one on which Bronson Arroyo pitched.
The Reds have 12 free-agents-to-be on the roster -- outfielders Adam Dunn, Ken Griffey, Jr. and Corey Patterson; catchers David Ross, Paul Bako and Javier Valentin; utility player Jerry Hairston Jr.; and relievers Weathers, Jeremy Affeldt, Josh Fogg, Mike Lincoln and Kent Mercker. That should make the Reds a player at the July 31 trading deadline.

You know that white stuff on top of chicken shit? Its just chicken shit.

We will get exactly dick for that list of fucknuts.

Dunn and Affeldt are the only guys who can even play unless some other GM is dumb enough to fall for Harristons career year being anything other than a fluke. No one is going to trade a lot for a 2 month rental for either.

Best part of that list is imagining the '09 Reds without any of them.

You want a real return then names like Arroyo, Cordero, BP and Harang are going to have to be involved.

We got 2 solid players out of Jeff Connine a couple years back...

Right now I would trade Lincoln, Weathers, Affeldt for a bag of baseballs, and let the young guys like Roenicke, Herrera, Pelland, McBeth come up and take some lumps and see what they got...

First off fuck Bill Hall...The guy is hitting a buck sixty against Righties and he looked like he should be an all-star with his double he hit...Even tho Griffey should of had it, he came in before going back...

1st and 3rd and 1 out with Griffey and BPhil up and we can't push a run across to go ahead...

We might have the worst 3-4 combo in baseball...Griffey doesn't strike fear into any pitcher any more, and Phillips is a very good hitter, but once again he is not a 4 hole hitter...

Look at the Brewers they go Braun and Fielder...Now that is scary...

We could go with a combo of Bruce/Dunn...That would be scary for team IMO..Then you can give Bruce protection and Dunn protection with a guy like Votto...I know we go over this all the time and I hope it changes maybe later this season or next year for sure...

Dont know how many times we have to say this but, FUCK BILL HALL!

Sonofabitch is platooning on his own team and destroys the Reds every chance he gets. Bullshit!

Fuck you Dusty for not having the balls to tell your pitcher to walk his ass or at least stay away from him. Majewski? Give me a freaking break...


Bottom line, we won. Good win on the road Redlegs. Great outing by Josh Fogg once again. He looked and acted like he was having fun out there tonight. I love it. Give him a raise. Maybe he's the only one on the current roster other than Volquez, Bruce or Phillips that actually loves his job.

See what we can do tomorrow. Screw the Brew crew!

Reds starter Josh Fogg held the Brewers to one hit through 5 1/3 innings. Fogg had six strikeouts.



MILWAUKEE -- Question: How can a pitcher hold a team to one hit in five-plus innings, leave with a one-run lead and not win?
Answer: Pitch for the Cincinnati Reds.
Josh Fogg knows that now, after he held the Milwaukee Brewers to one hit and ended up with nothing more than some pats on the back.
The Reds did win, 6-5, scoring the winning run on a wild pitch in Miller Park.
They scored a run in the fifth inning without benefit of a hit. They scored the tying run in the seventh on a fly ball missed by an outfielder.
