Sorry...94 was correct in his prior post, the latter was supposed to mean former, and in my later post I thought I had corrected it, but I presume my former post didn't make things clear, so I'm hoping this latest addition will do that.
Make sense?

We're paying Harang too much just to cut him and no one else wants him b/c of his contract...........and he stinks!

I understand this logic, but I hate it. At this point this is the final year of his contract. We are going to pay him regardless. If he isn't the best option bring in someone who is a better option. Cut your losses, the payroll won't change. IMO I think Harang could be used as a fifth starter, but if Chapman or anyone else can do a better job then cut him.
 
Tell me it was a nightmare... or did we really just get swept by the Pirates?
- Think we got a bad batch of baseball bats
 
Normally the Reds wait until late June to be out of it. I guess they figured...why wait?
 
Don't worry, they will take 2 of the next 3 to make it look like they are improving, but then again, they are not. This team has so many problems already. No wins by a starting pitcher, not one everyday player batting over .300. Harang is awful, Rolen and Stubbs are already having back problems, Bruce can't hit a 5th grader, and to make matters worse, I heard they are running low on wristbands for Dusty to wear.

Do the reds really not have the talent? As hyped as these "young" stars are, im really questioning their progress.

Get me on this team ASAP, ill hit bombs and strike icons out.

Or atleast until their road trip to the West Coast..

Seems this team strikes out more than any other. No matter the players. Dunn, Griffey, Kearns and now its Stubbs, Votto, Gomes, Bruce. Don't see many basehits from these guys. Its feast or famine.

When your rookie pitcher, is leading the team in OBP, there is a BIG problem

Funny cause this suspension affects NO on cept, Volquez and his 130,000 bucks.... His suspension will be carried out while on the DL.
 
He claims it was a fertility drug he got. I don't buy it, but here's the problem with that in general, he got it from a Dominican Rep. doctor. He should be suspended because of that alone.
 
The Reds suck. Im going to go crazy once the NBA playoffs are done and im forced to watch them get shelled and not be able to hit.

Cant pitch, cant hit... sums up ImmortalIcons overall game.
 
Reds attendence not going to be good this year. Economy and bad team and Dusty equals empty stands.
 
Attendance has looked awful and the team isn't helping.

Could this hurry the development of Chapman into the starting line-up? I think thats how Homer eventually got his shot. Trying to draw fans to the game..
