Posted Friday January 02, 2009, About: Penguins call players-only meeting

This team is a mess right now

Posted Wednesday December 24, 2008, About: Thrashers-Wild blockbuster in works?

God, I hope so too

Posted Monday October 27, 2008, About: Thrashers willing to deal Kovalchuk?

Any chance Ray Shero goes back to the well?he pryed Hossa away from there last year......

Posted Friday August 01, 2008, About: Griffey Sr. advised Jr. to move on

THANK GOD!!! lol

Posted Friday August 01, 2008, About: Griffey Sr. advised Jr. to move on

I HATE Corey Patterson (not personally I don't even know him) and I hope that Dusty has enough sense to play Hairston in center

Posted Friday August 01, 2008, About: Griffey Sr. advised Jr. to move on

I almost cried. The only good that might come out of this is the Reds could use some of the money they are saving to re-sign Adam Dunn

Posted Thursday July 24, 2008, About: Rockies interested in Arroyo

He's actually having a decent year. His inflated ERA is due to some really really bad outings at the beginning of the season. He's been money latey, winning 5 straight stars and allowing only 11ER total in those games.

Posted Saturday May 24, 2008, About: Secret to Volquez's success

Just for the record (if anyone cares) Edinson Volquez is actually not his real name it's Julio something or other he changed it to Edinson Volquez after he came to the states (like I said, like anyone really cares though)

Posted Thursday April 24, 2008, About: Jagr: Mario better than Crosby, Malkin

Having been a Penguins fan for over 20 years, I will say Crosby & Malkin are the best players (obviously) that the organization has had SINCE Mario & Jags. But neither one of those guys is on Mario's level. You never know maybe someday but for now, no

Posted Wednesday February 27, 2008, About: How Penguins landed Hossa

Yesterday was a great day to be a Penguins fan. I feel like I did when I was 11 years old hearing that the Pens had acquired Ron Francis & Ulf Samuelsson.

Posted Sunday February 24, 2008, About: Reds exec in line for GM job?

Everyone points to that d@mn Washington trade when speaking of Krivsky. The Reds were desperate for bullpen arms. I think Bray will eventually turn out to be a good pitcher, Krivsky signed Alex Gonzalez a year later to replace Lopez, and the Reds had a glut of OF's & no one misses Kearns. Also, everone forgets that he brought in Bronson Arroyo & Brandon Phillips for next to nothing.

Posted Monday February 18, 2008, About: Reds seeking center fielder

Brandon Phillips batting leadoff with Josh hamilton playing CF would have been nice, but the Reds had to deal Hamilton for a guy who will probably never be more than a #4-5 starter in a rotation, and likely won't even be a Red on opening day. Now they "need" a CF. WTF

Posted Friday February 15, 2008, About: What's holding up Reds-A's trade

The A's would be d@mn lucky to get any ONE of Bailey, Cueto or Votto for Blanton. He's got Eric Milton written all over him.

Posted Sunday February 10, 2008, About: Reds, A's discuss Blanton deal

The Reds picked up CRAIG Wislon not JACK Wilson. Big difference actually, I would be semi-excited if it were Jack they picked up

Posted Friday February 08, 2008, About: Reds, A's discuss Blanton deal

I hafta agree with you, jwhit, 8 losing seasons is wearing thin. 1990 seems like a long time ago. Even 95 (last playoff season) I NEED to seee this team in the playoffs this year

Posted Friday February 08, 2008, About: Reds, A's discuss Blanton deal

Excellent point, studzilla. I know the hype surrounding Bruce, Bailey, ect. but Votto is going to be a viable weapon someday too. I just hope the Reds get the pitching situation straightened out because I desperately want to see them make the playoffs.

Posted Friday February 08, 2008, About: Reds, A's discuss Blanton deal

It would be great if they could convince the A's to take maybe Votto and a lesser prospect (Volquez, Dickerson?) From what I hear, Bailey, Bruce and Cueto are all going to be something very special, if not as soon as this year.

Posted Sunday January 20, 2008, About: Rockies pitcher fits Twins needs

Too Late he signed with Cincy

Posted Sunday January 13, 2008, About: Mariners chasing O's Bedard

Reds shoulda dealt Bruce for Bedard and kept Hamilton to play CF. Wayne Krivsky obiously doesn't know what he's doing, but it's ok Walt Jocketty will be GM in '09

Posted Saturday December 22, 2007, About: Reds trade raises questions

God I don't understand this franchise sometimes. There pitchers better be d@mn good is all i'm saying.

Posted Sunday December 16, 2007, About: What's holding up Orioles-Reds deal

How could they have not made this deal yet? Harang, Bedard, Arroyo stacks up against anyone in the division with Cordero and a full season of Jared Burton in the bullpen, and still with Griff, Dunn, Hamilton, Hopper, and Freel in the OF and Stubbs in the system, this could be the year the Reds actually make the playoffs. Make the deal and sign Jon Lieber to fill out the rotation.
