Just saw over at RZ that they are 13-12 with a +40 run diff for July. Someone should be fucking taken from the dugout and shot on 2nd base for that (Cordero would be a good start)

When they look back and think what might have been after missing the playoffs they'll look at all the games they could have won in July.

Fucking losers.

I noticed they're doing a promo on the 14th for a Reds garden gnome. What would be a better deterrent for rabbits and deer in my garden, the garden gnome or the Homer Bailey bobblehead?

That is when the manager starts to come into question. This team has actually played better than their record. There are big holes, but Dusty continues to baffle everyone. At least he has not been given a new contract, and tonight was another example to Walt.

Of course I would give an arm and a leg for Corey Hart right now. Not sure if Walt can pull that one off though.

Rafael Furcal would make this team instantly better too IMO.

You'd fill 3 needs (speed at the top of the order, the ability to hit Phillips 2nd with a true base stealer on base, good SS) AND that would mean that Orlando Cabrera wouldn't be on the team anymore.

Cardinals give up their starting RF (Ludwick) to get Jake Westbrook.

On the surface this seems like a net talent loss for St Louis but what will likely happen is Jay will continue to play insanely far over his head and Westbrook will come to the NL, get with Dave Duncan and pitch like Cy F Young the rest of the way. Its the Cardinals, they could put the ball boy out in RF and get insane production.

Meanwhile the Reds sit back content to go to war with Cordero, Cabrerra and the three stooges in the outfield, apparently equally content to waste an MVP caliber year from Votto and possibly last great career year for Rolen because of it.

Trade stuff is fast and furious right now but it looks like;

Teams ahead of Reds (Cards and Giants) have made a move or are making one.

Teams just behind Reds (Phillies and Dodgers) have made moves.

Reds do jack shit and probably aren't better than anyone of those teams to start with.
