Reds Tidbits (2009 season)

Hard to believe but if the Reds win the final 4 games( 1 vs STL and 3 vs the pirates) they will reach 80 wins.


Playing well at the end of a lost season is in Cincinnati pro sports DNA.

All that does is fuck up what was at one point a strangle hold on a top 5 draft pick.

And possibly put them in 3rd above the brewers.


That would probably be their highest finish in the N.L. central since the 1999 season. Notice the Reds went on this big run once Willy T-Ball went on the D.L.. Walt really needs to ship his @ss as far away from Cincy as possible...Stubbs has be doing a hell of job as the leadoff hitter and in CF.

Taveras with 404 at bats- 1 HR and 15 RBI's .275 OBP 25 stolen bases

Stubbs in 161 at bats- 8 HR's 16 RBI's .306 OBP and 9 stolen bases

And what did Dusty do when Taveras came off the D.L. the other night?? Put Taveras in CF and Stubbs on the bench.

Dusty's an idiot. I've actually been watching some of these weeknight games and they actually look like a major league team. I'm fighting the urge to get excited for next season, but failing....

1B: Votto
2B: Phillips
SS: Janish/FA
3B: Rolen
LF: Gomes/Nix
CF: Stubbs/Dickerson
RF: Bruce
C: Hernandez/Hanigan
Bench: Nix/Gomes, WT (:ohwell:), Hanigan/Hernandez, Dickerson/Stubbs, Sutton, Roseales/Janish

SP: Arroyo, Bailey, Cueto, Harang, Volquez
RP: Owings, Herrera, Fisher, Burton, Masset, Rhodes, Cordero

Others: Miller, Tatum, Richar, Balentien, Barker, Francisco, McDonald, Lehr, Maloney, Ramirez, Viola, Wells

An upgrade at SS and I dare say the Reds would have ML talent at every position.

My hopes aren't high yet. Not when I see Dusty running WT and Janish at 1-2 in the lineup. Until I see Dusty bench WT, I have no confidence that this team will be great. How can the man be so dim?
