I think Brandon Boggs is going to be one of those real solid players. Probably not hall of fame type but he'll make an all star game or two during the course of his career.
 
:lol San Diego's broadcast is a riot. 13th inning and they show this banging ass girl in the stands...So the color guy does the black girl "Heeeeey"

Motherfucker had me rollin, I need sleep.

I'm in the camp that a team with a good manager and a team with a bad manager creates a 5-win difference.

BRUUUUUUUUUCE.

You gotta think the reds are going to be a dominant team in the next few years, with all this amazing young talent.
ehhh, Dusty is known for sitting young talent and playing shitty veterans because he likes them, so that might happen with this team too. I really hope not though. and yeah, this Reds team will either become amazing or all their great talent is going to wind up getting a big payday with some large market asshole team nobody really likes.

Oh right, Joba is the Yankees saviour. I forgot about that.

No, not the savior, but a live arm with great stuff who can and will win us some games. That's all I ask for, really, that he be opposite the black hole of suck that were Kennedy and Hughes.

Man Chase Utley is a fantasy god! He has more RBIs this week then my opponents team combined. I just wanna kiss him

You want to kiss him? Imagine how I feel! Chase is one of the most beloved Philadelphia athletes I've ever seen. Its a shame Howard is getting such a bad rap, I wish more people knew about OPS and stopped thinking a .2something average is the equivalent of being Hellen Keller at the plate.

Yeah, I know. I hate being the farm system for the Yankees and the Red Sox.

I think I know who you are talking about. I still love Griffey, but he is not a number 3 hitter. I'd rather have Bruce there. But, it's only been 4 games. He looks pretty solid so far at the plate, but Cincy fans have crowned him a little too prematurely.

He'll have a tough streak sometime soon, and we'll see if the lovefest for Jay Bruce continues then. Cincy fans have become so fed up with losing, they turn negative at the first chance. Hell, I can't even listen to Marty anymore. He is a f'n sourpuss.

Didn't Freest already embarrass himself saying shit like this?

Embarass myself? I don't feel embarrassed. I think my stance was miread, but alright, I'll take back my stance: Tuesdays game WILL be EPIC!! The battle for 3rd place in the division will ignite cities and spark the passions of young and old! Never will it be possible to doubt the Canadian might with the bat nor the wisdom and guile of young Bronx pitchers again!

Griffey isn't that great now but that's not really who I mean. I'm more afraid we'll see horrible grit players like Ryan Freel playing too much over the course of the season. And I'm still really worried Dusty will ruin Volquez and Cueto's arms. I wouldn't be averse to trading Griffey for some more prospects if possible, but I don't think we can rip off any team with prospects worth taking for him.

Hey, you know me, I'm for my team all the time. I'll risk some embarrassment on an internet forum if necessary :P
 
Baseball Prospectus has begun to annoy me. They refuse to mention Quentin because they were so wrong about him. Who cares? People get stuff wrong.

Huh? They were wrong about a lot of things, why would they cherry-pick something like that?

I wouldn't worry about him ruining young arms this time around. If anything, he's been too cautious with his young pitchers. They usually get about 90 pitches.
