Multiply this by 40 years and take a guess why Marty is a cynical ass.

Is something wrong with Johnny Cueto?

By Hal McCoy | Tuesday, June 4, 2013, 11:13 PM

CINCINNATI -- This is pure speculation, based on common sense, but something is amiss with the Cincinnati Reds.

And it might involve Wednesday's scheduled starter, Johnny Cueto.

Normally the media is admitted into the clubhouse 10 minutes after a game's conclusion, but it was more than 20 minutes after the Reds lost to the Colorado Rockies Tuesday, 5-4.

And when the media was admitted, they were kept out of manager Dusty Baker's office -- usually the first stop. A few minutes later, team physician Dr. Tim Kremchek and team trainer Paul Lessard walked out of Baker's office.

When the media did talk to Baker, somebody said, "Well, at least you've got Johnny Cueto pitching tomorrow."

And Baker's answer was, "Well, we'll talk about that tomorrow."

Stay tuned.

Kremcheck is already involved. Amputation likely.

Cueto to the 15-day DL. Re-aggravated the previous lat injury.

Pedro Villareal called up from AAA. He was tonight's scheduled starter for Louisiville and he'll start tonight for the Teds. I read on RZ that he has given up more HR than any other minor leaguer this year. I'm not going to bother to verify that - it sure seems plausible. Expect Cingrani to be brought back when he can make an on-schedule MLB start.

On the plus side, this should completely scuttle that dumb fucking idea to turn Cingrani into a reliever before he has exhausted all chances at developing secondary pitches and becoming a starter.

Looking back, it's a shame there weren't more injuries to starting pitchers back in 2010. Maybe then they wouldn't have found a way to waste Chapman in the blowpen.

Just got home from the park. Eight innings of woo-free baseball. Then Donald Klutz got in on his one-man derp show and was like a signal for people in the stands to start howling like idiots. FML.

If you look back at some of my other post-ballpark reactions, you'll see that I normally leave the stadium thinking to myself that I just spent three hours sitting in front of and listening to the dumbest motherfucker on the planet, and today was no exception. I don't know how the bar keeps getting lowered, but it does. Here are some gems from today's genius. Keep in mind as you read this that this is an adult male that is from this country:

ON KEEPING SCORE... He kept referring to runs as "points". He sat there and watched the entire second inning and then said to his friends, "I have no idea how the other team got three points - I only saw one man get on base."

ON STATISTICS... He later momentarily came around to the idea that the Rockies three "points" were legit once he realized that they had achieved four hits... and then immediately talked himself out of that. According to him "H" must not stand for "hits" since the other team hit the ball more than four times, even if you don't count the ones that went foul.

ON STRATEGY... "Why are they walking this guy (Izturis, to get to Bailey)? He must be a pretty good hitter - they don't want to face him.

ON BROKEN BATS... "Does that play count since his bat broke, or does he get a do-over?"

ON DIVERSIONS FOR SIMPLE-MINDED PEOPLE... He let out an enthusiastic "YESSSSSS!" when the wave finally made it all the way around the stadium. :lol:

Why do I always get stuck next to these self-parodying fans with the baseball IQ of a four year-old? Is the universe punishing me for making fun of Dusty Baker by surrounding me with people even dumber than he is? I thought watching this lousy fucking baseball team was punishment enough.
