Stubbs still sucks :td

:tpd: I have a love/hate relationship with games that look like they could be just a long bomb free-for-all. I think it really messes with a pitcher's head when he is getting "yarded" a bunch. On the other hand, I love to see it when its our team doing the "yarding".

Hopefully Wood can get that much deserved 1st W today.:gl

I heard on talk radio that the Reds may be shoppers for Podsednik. Hmmm...

And get rid of Gomes? No thank you. As a replacement for Stubbs, I'd consider it.

Looks like Wood isn't gonna get a win today either. He's doing great, but the Redlegs just aren't hitting today. Why can't we get hits off of the worst pitchers in the league?

They were saying that he would replace Stubbs. Podsednik is a legit leadoff hitter which we don't have.

We do need a leadoff hitter, and his avg. and obp. are good, but I'd rather have a power hitter to help us produce right now. But then again... BP and Cabrerra might produce more if we take them out of the one and two spots.

BP with a grand slam! Wood gets his first win!

Finally....seemed like every time Wood took the rubber he was spectacular and we couldn't give him any run support.

He almost didn't get the win today either. We didn't wake up until the sixth. Thankfully the bullpen hadn't gone in yet.

Anyone else suprised that the Reds haven't made a move at the deadline? We are in the market for an outfielder who can hit and some starting pitching but while the teams around the league get stronger, we sit and watch. :hm

And why does Drew Stubbs suck so bad? :confused:

:tpd: Were we not in the market for a CF or a SP or someone to bolster the bullpen? Down the stretch I feel we are going to fall apart. If someone goes on the DL we could be in a world of hurt, unless ofcourse its Stubbs. :hm

Jockety says they are happy with where we are at and that we have a good core of young players behind them. So why aren't we trying to find some players from Louisville to fill the spots of our crappy players? :bh

I was a bit upset that we didn't get Werth. A lot of people are saying that the Front Office has given up on this season b/c we didn't make any trades, but I'm not so sure. Castellini may not be a pot of gold, but Jocketty is competitive. I think this is W. Jocketty's plan to stick with what we have. He is secretive and makes some strange decisions from time to time but if you look at his track record you almost have to trust his instincts.

I am still not sold on the lineup they put on the field everyday. They have a severe need for a true leadoff hitter, better outfielders (particularly in center), some help in the bullpen and a starting pitcher. Down the stretch if they lose Rolen or Votto, they are in trouble and if they lose both, they might as well call it a day. Everyone else in the NL who is a threat got better except us. Luckily we play in the cupcake division and play all losing teams down the stretch so there is still hope. If they make it to the playoffs, I suspect a quick exit. :hm

I don't have a problem with them not making a trade. We are in 1st place after all. St. Louis did us a favor by trading away Ludwig for a 4th started. They have not been good at scoring runs.

Playoffs? Playoffs? Any Reds team that makes the playoffs at this point is a major upgrade from teams past in recent history. I know I'm in the minority, but I'm happy with a winning record this year. I think we will be better off than many think at this point though. If we make it to the playoffs, the Braves and Padres will be very tough though.

Ofcourse you don't have a problem, you are the eternal optimist with no subjective insights. ;)

It is a good sign if they can end with a winning record, but past indications will show they will likely dump some of their best players in favor of a farm system that hasn't produced much (particularly in the batters box). To this point in the season it seems like a perfect storm that is keeping the Reds in the hunt (bad division, last at-bat wins and St. Louis playing like trash) and the offseason may do a lot more harm than good. :2

So I was pissed off that we didnt make any trades until I listened to Lance on 1530 last night, he made some very valuable points. We have amazing talent in AAA that is absolutely lighting it up... Dickerson is hitting above .400, just brought Springer up, have Isringhausen, have Harang, have Bailey... we didn't make a trade because we can cherry pick the guys that are on rehab assignments and if they dont pan out, its not costing us anything. The best move will be the Dickerson up and Stubbs taken out back and shot... I'm all for that one :D... after all whats the point of have a river so close if you cant throw a few crappy players in it??

I listened to Lance yesterday as well. I heard the same thing. That is why I am not upset that we didn't make a move. You have to remember that Adam is an eternal pessimist and will never be happy ;) Give Adam a gold brick, and he will not be happy that you didn't give him 4 gold bricks ;)

Don't listen to Dan, he is a homer. Always a homer. If we have all this AAA talent, why aren't they helping us? Why is Stubbs still an everyday player if he is batting .229? Like I said, it feels like the perfect storm, in any other division we are likely not even in contention. :rolleyes:

Adam, that is one thing, I agree on. Stubbs needs to go down to Loiusville. Bring up Dickerson who is hitting .400 :tu
