Shame on those Ohio natives!

It was pretty funny, most of the kids from the Illinois team were the same way. Only 3 picked Cubs players and most picked Pujols or Howard :r

We swept the Marlins! We are on the way to the World Series! We play the easiest schedule in the entire MLB and we can't pull away from the worst Cardinals teams in years! We are going to win 120 games next year! :r

Votto scratched from the lineup tonight. Edmonds at 1st and Stubbs replacing Edmonds in CF.

3 games up on the Redbirds! :)

Dusty sure has some balls doing the suicide squeeze with 1 out in the 9th and the go ahead run on 3rd. :) Kudos to Heisey for getting the bunt down.

Starscream 08-19-2010 02:37 PM

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 
Dusty has been offered an extension. Thoughts?

I never thought I'd say this but I want him to stick around for another year. We have improved every year while he's been the skipper and this year we have a great shot at the playoffs. If he doesn't bite, I wouldn't mind having Bobby Valentine take over.

You would think he would have seen it, since he quoted your post. :confused:

So, what's you guys' thoughts on Baker's extension. Yes or no? Right now I say yes (for a one year extension at least).

Best team they have put on the field since '94. Might as well extended him, even when they fall apart and miss the playoffs or get swept in the first round. :rolleyes:

Volquez is acting too much like Harang. I miss Hamilton.

elderboy02 08-24-2010 07:59 AM

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 
Volquez needs to go to AAA and get his stuff figured out. They said Harang isn't ready to be called back up. He hasn't been doing good at AAA the last couple starts.

He was doing great until his last two starts. Something's up.

When the deal was made, I liked it. Hamilton was a risk then but he's been the man ever since. One of the worst deals the Reds have made.

I don't think it was the worst deal ever. He went 17-6 in 2008 with a 3.21 ERA. He was an All-Star that year. Hamilton is still risky in my eyes. I think he will get hurt.

Hamilton is going to be the MVP and Volquez will not be winning the Cy Young any time soon. :rolleyes:

Volquez has been hurt too. Hamilton has produced so much more than EV. Two stand-up years in the AL. My only issue was his habits. I kept thinking that he'd go back to being a druggie again, but he's been good for the most part so far. That was the only risk we had with him. EV had one good year, then got injured, had TJ surgery, looked good when he came back, now he's falling apart.

I'll take Hamilton any day of the week. It's too late now, so I guess what's done is done.

Not that they didn't try to lose it. Both starting pitching and the bullpen have been horrible on this road trip. What's up with that? Don't tell me they're falling apart this close to the end of the season.

Can Pujols win the Triple Crown and not win MVP if Votto gets his team to the playoffs? :hm

He is likely the MVP even if he misses 15 games to end the season. The only other player in the discussion is Cabrera and his team likely won't make the playoffs.:tu
