Not entirely certain what the hell happened to Uggla, but last year Jay Bruce trended horribly that way as well offensively. Just awful. I hope it was simply an aberration possibly due to knee surgery and that he rebounds in 2015. Would also like to see the Reds acquire Zobrist for LF, but I am def....

Damn, what is the deal with the LA Angels getting whipped up on by the lowly Houston Astros? If I'm not mistaken, the Astro's just SWEPT them! And if memory is serving me correctly, the 'Stro's have won an earlier series (or 2) against them as well. I mean, the horrible Astro's! The team I hated to ...

Cubs fans (at least as of now) can at least look at how pitiful Milwaukee are. And I don't see it getting much better for the "Brew Crew" this season. So yeah, maybe the Cubs will stay out of the cellar! Gotta say, I didn't expect the Brewers to be THIS fucking horrible & with the Astr...

The Angels are still fucking horrible, in case you missed it. Even though he has looked pretty damn shitty thus far, were I an Angels fan, the Josh Hamilton deal wouldn't bother me all that bad....hell, he very well might get himself turned around. OTOH, that albatross of a deal the Angels signed A...

Manny's turning Japanese Taiwan. The EDA Rhinos Of Chinese Baseball League to be exact. :lol: http://coedbc.files.wordpress.com/2013/03/picture-424.jpg Check him out going yard, the announcer's unbelieveable. http://www.baseballamerica.com/international/manny-ramirez-hits-first-home-run-in-taiwan/ ...

Yep, Milton Bradley is one seriously fucked up individual. Even if he was currently the bee's-knees of baseball players, I STILL would NOT want him anywhere NEAR my team, hell, not even at league minimum. Just an all-around cancer.

Just read that the Angels signed Ryan Madson. Good luck to ya Ryan, us Cincy fans hardly knew ya.

Guess that means Cody Ross is gone.

I actually really like Gomes. He ain't gonna do anything to blow your mind via his play, but I always liked the guy when he was in Cincy.

I ain't gonna get into the "he deserved it more" debate, but I DO wish like hell that Trout would have gotten it over Cabrera, simply for the fact that I think Cabrera's a fucking douchebag. I remember when the Tigers were playing the Reds this past season, the Reds Frazier was @ 3rd...now...

Anyone know what Posey's WAR is offhand? 2010: 4.2 2012: 8.0! Career: 13.7 http://www.fangraphs.com is your friend :wink: It looks like Toronto is close to signing Melky Cabrera to a 2 year deal. I think that guy is a bargain right now and a risk most GMs should be willing to take. When he was with...

The NL got it right though, Buster Posey wins the MVP. Yep, that guy def. deserved it. Man I would kill to be able to go back in time and for the Reds to have drafted him (or been able to have drafted him). I guess just about every team feels that way. Catchers w/Posey's amount of talent, especiall...

Now if only the Reds could somehow "steal" Giancarlo Stanton from you guys :D - I read that he wrote on his twitter after this shit went down that he was pissed. And I don't freakin' blame him either. Nah. The Yankees need a right handed hitting RF to fill a hole on the roster. Stanton in...

The once every five year Marlins salary dump has begun. There isn't a close second. That is the worst season in the history of a sports franchise and it isn't close based on expectations. I will not spend another fucking penny on this franchise until that fucking cocksucker sells the team, or kills...

You have to admit though, a SF/St. Louis NLCS will probably be a pretty kickass series.

Yes & I hope SF beat the ever loving piss out of those lucky bastards!

It's just sickening to watch the Cardinals do this shit year in and year out. Once those guys get a sniff of the postseason, it's almost like money in the bank that they're going to pull out some insane, defy all odds crazy shit. I know exactly how some of those Nats fans are feeling right about now...

Well Kill, looks like your "this series will go 5" initial prediction was correct. Reds should have closed the book on this series yesterday. But today, pathetic. I KNEW when I found out that Leake was pitching that it was going to be a LONG day. Today is one of those days when Dusty dese...

They'll probably win it all again. Nothing surprises me when it comes to that fucking team.

And the Reds just OBLITERATE the Giants in game 2. 9 to ZERO. Arroyo pitched an absolute GEM of a game. Just looked brilliant. Now we're going back to GABP. Be interesting to see if Cueto will be good to go in game 3 and if not, who it will be. Dusty might not even take a chance w/him now that we're...

Cincy w/their #1 starter injuring himself and only able to go part of the 1st inning....& not to mention, closer Chapman SUCKING...yet we STILL took game #1! And it was really never in question...... I've been EXTREMELY pissed @ Dusty Baker from time to time for certain choices he makes, but his...

It's looking like the Rangers are going to be staying home, Baltimore advancing. Rangers will have one more at bat in the bottom of the 9th, but the O's are still w/plenty of scoring opps in the top of the 9th w/only one out. The Braves got ROYALLY screwed IMO on that BS infield fly-rule call. Not s...

Congrats to my Reds :!: Now, lets take care of business in the playoffs vs. just getting there.... World Series, here we come! :twisted: The NL is where it's at in the Playoffs this year IMO. I think even without Strasburgh, Washington is the team to beat. Even without Melky, SF has been playing we...

Congrats to my Reds

Now, lets take care of business in the playoffs vs. just getting there....

World Series, here we come!

Well NeverSurrender, you've gotta be feeling pretty good right now after that total fumble of a play when the Padres had Victorino caught and totally botched that shit. Dodgers got 2 runs. Now lead 3 -1 in the top of the 8th. Oh and LITERALLY JUST as I finished typing the above....Grandal (the catch...

The AL wild card race is gonna be interesting (and ultimately heartbreaking for me, because the Angels won't get one) and fun to watch. It's entirely possible that the Yankees could end up as the second wildcard, or not even in the playoffs at all. Love to see the Orioles doing so well. Oh absolute...

Detroit and Chicago are now tied for first. I think everybody expects Detroit to win the Central. The White Sox can do nothing right in that fucking ballpark. But, at the same time, Detroit just can't seem to fully get over that hump and take command of 1st place. Last I heard tonight, the Sox were...

I'm just messing with you, man. Oh I could actually see why someone WOULD think I was a bit of a "wreck", totally. I stream-of-consciousness these big, long assed posts that I'm fully aware that no one actually bothers reading, but it passes time (ESPECIALLY when I'm stuck in a hotel room...

Baseball America had Homer Bailey ranked as the #1 prospect for a while now. It seems he's putting it together finally. 1ER 9K...Dusty Baker's his manager...107 pitches :P Meh, Bailey makes me nervous every damn time he takes the mound. You NEVER know what the hell to expect from him. One game, he ...

You're as big a wreck as the Dodgers are. Me? Just because I write short novel-length posts? Actually, life is pretty fucking good (right now at least). My "drug posts" might make me appear to be a wreck since I do imbibe (though less and less with each passing year) in a substance that m...
