The Commish Posted August 10, 2006 Share Posted August 10, 2006 is Arroyo healthy?When wasn't he?Looks healthy, but he's cut his hair. i haven't seen him, but i understand he has his hair in cornrows....in honor of Bo Derek and his way of getting to "10" wins.Oh...that might be. I just glanced and saw it wasn't flowing out the back of his hat....further examination is needed. Stand by....You are correct. On a side note....WTF is that on Spezio's chin?? He has one of those clumps of hair between his lip and chin and it's died bright red....WTF?!?!?!??! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WampusCat43 Posted August 10, 2006 Share Posted August 10, 2006 Can't see the game here at work, but according to this, that run Arroyo just gave up was earned. Don't see how that can be.Eckstein got a hit.....Edmonds singled and drove him in...why wouldn't that be an ER?? Note that they changed it. Eckstein wouldn't have been on second if it wasn't for Phillips error. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fasteddie_21 Posted August 12, 2006 Share Posted August 12, 2006 Interesting move intentionally walking Howard with men on 1st and 2nd already to make the bases loaded with no outs in the bottom of the 14th...It was absolutely stupid!!!List of Narron's idiotic moves tonight:-Took EdE out in the 8th (oh, he only had gone yard twice in the game and accounted for every one of Cincy's runs).-Had Harang warm up and pitch the 13th and only the 13th. WTF?!? If you're using a starter, don't use him for just one inning!!!-Warming up Arroyo in the 13th...WTF x2?!?-Using tomorrow's (today for you "day" people) starter in relief in the 14th. Mind you it seems as though he is "still" tipping his pitches...grrrrrrrrr-And the grand, wonderful finale...with men on 1st and 2nd and noone out, walking the bases loaded...so, instead of a hit (any hit, mind you, so Ryan Howard's power does NOT affect the game, as a single = a win anyway) being the only way to score the winning run, now a fly ball to the OF, a WP, a passed ball, a balk, a walk, or a hit now wins the game...Don't get me wrong, the team did NOT help itself with some terrible on-field play, but Narron hindered the team, he did not help them.-fe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WampusCat43 Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 Just what we needed: The Cincinnati Reds acquired left-hander Scott Schoeneweis from Toronto on Wednesday for a player to be named or cash. The move came two days after the Reds learned that left-handed reliever Kent Mercker will need reconstructive surgery on his left elbow. Mercker has a torn ligament and tendon in the elbow.The Reds transferred Mercker to the 60-day disabled list Wednesday. They expected Schoeneweis to arrive in St. Louis on Wednesday night, when the teams play the second game in their series.Schoeneweis is the seventh pitcher acquired in the last six weeks by the Reds, who have stayed in playoff contention by remaking their bullpen. A 5-0 loss in St. Louis on Tuesday night left Cincinnati in second place in the NL Central, 2 1/2 games behind the Cardinals.The 32-year-old Schoeneweis went 2-2 with a 6.51 ERA in 55 games for the Blue Jays this season. He is 41-47 career with a 5.09 ERA in nine seasons with Toronto, the Angels and the White Sox. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Um, that sucks.Well, if you took the entire Reds bullpen prior to the All Star break and had them pitch in the AL, their combined ERA would have been over 10.00... The 6.75 A.L.

He is blowing way too many saves at this point in the season. Wainwright is a much better option at this point, but LaRussa is too f@#!$* proud and too much of a player's buddy to make that move. But then again, LaRussa looked really pissed after Izzy gave up that bomb.Either way, the Cards will win the division and the Reds should be happy with the wildcard.
