No this is not a joke.

I refuse to watch that. I've been cutting Dusty some slack but this tears it, he's in the Boone, Miley, Narron category now. This is up there with Miley sitting JR and Dunn in Coors for Freel and Aurilia.
Patterson should never bat third for any MLB team ever...ever.
[censored] these bastards and [censored] this know nothing, dip[censored], pussnut, dicklicking front office that runs moron's like Dusty through here every 2 years.
I should have stuck to my guns and became a free agent when they hired Dusty like I said I would. What the [censored] do you get for your loyalty to these incompetent [censored]s? Another 90+ loss season and then watch them [censored] up every single chance to get better.
The GM should be able to go down stairs and fire any cocksucking manager the minute he sees a lineup card filled out like that. [censored] this [censored].

FWIW, I was just checking my fantasy team and saw that Griffey was a last minute scratch due to "illness." I suppose that is more of an explanation than an excuse. I agree, it doesn't matter the circumstances... why isn't Kepp hitting in the 1 or 2 hole?

I am assuming the reason for Griffey not being in the lineup, was due to the weather...So that only problem I have with that lineup is Patterson in the 3 hole...Not sure what he would be thinking with that at all...Maybe that is where the dart stuck on the dartboard...
As for the pitching matchups...The guy throwing against Belisle has a mid 5 ERA, Santana is a tough matchup no matter who he is going against, and as bucky showed we have done fairly well against Perez the last couple years...
Keep the faith a little longer...

Just looking at the schedule in advance, and peeked at the month of June schedule...If we are anywhere close to .500 after June this team needs to get some love...
We finish a series with ATL with 1 game at home, before going on an 8 game road trip with 4 game sets with Philly and Florida, two of the top 4 teams in the NL...
Then come home for 9...Against who you say...3 with STL, 3 with Bos, and 3 with LA Dogers...
Then it gets even better...Back to the road for 9...who with...3 with the Yanks, 3 with the Blue Jays, and 3 with the Indians...
Then finish the month off with 1 at home against the Pirates...
Every team is in the top 2 in their division, other than the games agasint ATL and and Pitt, which are only 1 game a piece in June, and also the Yanks, Blue Jays, and Indians, but by the time June rolls around and the Reds come to town in interleague play, they will either be ready to explode against the reds or already have exploded and just pound the reds...
I would think 11-17 would be lucky, and that is not a good record...We might be lucky to get 10 wins in the month of June...

It's all fun 'n' games until our new GM decides it's time to reunite himself with the has-been CF.
Just imagine, he could kill the Reds in a whole new way.

Sounds like June is a perfect time to take a vacation.

THE COLUMBUS DISPATCH
CINCINNATI -- Bronson Arroyo carried his 8.63 ERA and a smile into the Reds clubhouse the past three days. He insists he feels as healthy and strong as ever, so he is going about his business the same as always.
"I don't have one ache, not even a headache," he said. "There's nothing I can complain about."
He could complain about defense, but it is not his nature. And it might not resonate, anyway.

-Range wise EE has to be up there among the best, his throwing errors obviously kill him overall.
-Doesn't suprise me in the least that Dusty just looks at Fielding % and says we are ok.
