[Jaxbuck]

Over/Under on total pitches Bruce K's on: 5

Under for me. large.

Can we just put a white flag on the end of Bruces bat?

Jesus Christ. They can't even hit it out of the batter's box now.

Reds = Booger eating cruds

4 strikeouts in 2 innings, all looking. Hey guys, that piece of wood you have in your hand, try to use it.

RedsZone is about unbearable with Volquez excuses. The consensus seems to be that the DL won't help, and AAA won't either. I didn't know bi-weekly plunger rape was the only way to rehab from TJ surgery.

Home plate is the same width in AAA as it is in MLB. Why not see if he can find it in games that don't count?

Dbacks seem to have remembered they are the Dbacks.

WB's up 4-0, bases loaded top 4.

Does he have any options left? He was up and down a few times with the Rangers.

He could do a short stint as a "rehab," but he is healthy. He would have to agree, and the players union would not be too happy with it.

At least Volquez made him pitch and went down swinging. That at bat was better most of the other guys first at bat.

I doubt that would work with him. Yet he might end up shooting Dusty, so in the end things may end up for the better.

BTW...no hitter through 3. I can see them get no hit tonight, and I definitely see a shutout as a big possibility. I knew this game had bad news written all over it from the start.

Its a risk I'm willing to take.

Do they have enough guys who could make contact when they swing?

Jesus. Now Thom is bantering about Ayn Rand. This might as well be a 10-0 game.
