That Konerko HR seems to have lit a fire under Coco's ass. Bringing the heat now... And this one belongs to the Reds! Going to the game tomorrow. Hoping for a W.

Buck up Redlegs fans. You could have the Tribe. This [censored] is absolutely BRUTAL. Our "bullpen" has allowed 45 baserunners in it's last 17 innings, our manager is a developmentally challenged baboon and our GM thinks we can still make a run this year.

The fun part for me is going to be watching when Cincy fans figure out smilin' Bob Castaleni has every intention of running the business the same way his business mentor Uncle Carl did except he's lied right to our face multiple times with all his "we wont accept losing anymore" bull[censored]. At least Lidner was up front about making money first and winning second. BC is just a [censored]ing liar as I see it. I think a couple of local guys were preparing their assault earlier this year when they pinned his ass down to direct quotes about winning after the "I was taken out of context" charade he played. Bottom line to me is I see a good young nucleus of talent that could turn into something and I have hope. Then I see the Dusty chewing on a toothpick, cursing clogged bases, the GM making decisions like the WT signing and I'm reminded that in any organization if the guy at the top is a [censored]stick the organization is pretty well [censored]ed. I think this franchise is pretty well [censored]ed. |

Hope tomorrow is better than tonight. The Civil Rights stuff was cool but this game reinforced how pathetic this team can be on every level. Ughhhhh!

Conversation from Friday night between me and the wife (keep in mind she doesn't care about sports at all. No interest whatsoever):
BK: "Hey, alright. Reds won." Mrs. Katt: "How far under .500 are they?" BK: "Two games over surprisingly enough....despite Votto missing a ton of time and Willy Tavares not missing enough." MK: "What's wrong with Tavares?" BK: "He sucks. 1 for his last 45, 8 for his last 93. [censored]ing terrible. And they keep batting him leadoff." MK: "Why do they keep batting him leadoff if he's that bad?" BK: "Becasue he's faaaaaast (like a marsupial)...." MK: "It doesn't matter how fast he is if he isn't getting on base, right?" *prolonged silence* MK: "What?" BK: "Jesus Christ. Let me get Dusty on the phone. Maybe you can talk some sense into him." My wife...my [censored]ing wife....understands the game better than the [censored]ing manager. ![]() |

MK for GM and or manager. She grasps the fundamental concept of how runs are created which is more than can be said for The Dusty, the GM, the voice of the Reds and at least one semi-retarded poster I can think of. |

Dickerson seems to be coming along. I wasnt sold on him at all before the season but I like what he's done over the last week in a half. Also appears that one part of his game does not affect the other. When his bat isnt going hot he doesnt let his fielding slide, which has been impressive, and vice versa. I also like Laynce Nix alot. This guy has done nothing but produce this season wether he's platooning or not. The things that are killing us is:
1. Injuries. They happen and when it hits your best two players it really sucks badly. 2. Jay Bruce has to start playing better baseball. No other comments needed than that. He's awful right now and he needs to get it fixed. .217 is not getting it done. |

Joey Votto says hes ready to join the team!
The Reds’ offensive woes could ease this week, if Joey Votto has his way. Votto has been on the disabled list since May 29, with what the club termed “stress-related’’ issues. But after a two-game, weekend stint with the Class A Dayton Dragons, the first baseman said Sunday he was ready to return to the big-league club, perhaps as early as Tuesday in Toronto. "I felt great out there,’’ said Votto. In two games with the Dragons, Votto had three hits, a home run and three RBI. More importantly, Votto said, was being able to play consecutive, nine-inning games without having to leave the game. “It had been such a struggle, getting through games,’’ he said. “Getting through nine was a top priority.’’ Votto said he would speak with Reds trainer Mark Mann Sunday night, and also with manager Dusty Baker and GM Walt Jocketty. “We’ll have a little conversation and come to a conclusion what I need to do next,’’ said Votto. “They know what I’ve been going through. They would be able to say, ‘Are you ready to go?’ My answer would be yes.’’ The Reds were 26-20 when Votto went on the disabled list on May 29. They’ve gone 8-14 since. Despite missing the last 22 games, Votto still ranks third on the club in homers and RBI. |

Votto was on the team plane this morning according to Lance Mcalister. Trade rumors ar heating up on Arroyo as well. Not a bad ideA getting rid of the 12 mil hes owed for next year.
