Yet another spirit crushing defeat. Now, they get the red hot Indians. This weekend may be really, really bad.

 

[emainvol]

I know our bullpen is bad, but umm... seriously, Arroyo in the 9th?

In an extended spring game today LHP Bill Bray threw 27 pitches in 2.0 innings with no complaints.

Depending on how he feels tomorrow, it is possible he could start a rehab assignment on Sunday.

Yeah, that would take the bullpen from decrepit to merely awful.

we're moving in the right direction.

 

[hatvol96]

Time for the white flag. The following moves should be made forthwith: 1. Bring up Dumatrait, Bailey, and Votto. 2. Fire Narron. 3. Trade Adam Dunn.

and Brandon Phillips extends his hitting streak to 20 games due to the ineptness of the Indians defense.

id go ahead and trade Griffey too.

id go ahead and trade Griffey too.

Why?

Good luck selling tickets if they do that.

I second the why...................

What would a team give up for him?

Given the salary they would have to take on, not much.

This weekend will show the difference between the two Ohio franchises. The Indians-A team built through careful planning, astute drafting, and shrewd trades. The Reds-A team that appears to have been assembled by a random draw of fringe big leaguers.

Why?

Mainly because id like to see him have a chance to win it all on a contending team because he will be long gone before the reds are going to be legit contenders.

Like they will sell a lot of tickets while they are in last place of a terrible devision.

Going from 25,000 a night in July and August to 12,000 is quite a difference.

Why not? The Cubs can do it.
Then again, the average Cubs fan is exponentially more delusional than the average Reds fan.

People still go to Wrigley Field when the Cubs' season is over just to go to Wrigley.

 

[champyvol]

we should start a bet to see what date narron finally gets the can.

 

[vols kick balls]

june 14. happy birthday to me.

Homer Bailey, Dumatrait and Votto will then all be called up with in the next 1/2 a month.

 

[emainvol]

He will be fired on June 1st.

People still go to Wrigley Field when the Cubs' season is over just to go to Wrigley.

I certainly understand that, but there are still tons and tons of delusional Cubs fans in the seats at the end of the season.

 

[hatvol96]

delusional Cubs fans

That's a redundancy.

 

[hatvol96]

The Reds must hold this lead or disaster awaits.
