Not Reds related, but baseball...

Ok, Roger Clemens pisses me off. Sure, he is a great pitcher and all, and deserves a lot of money. But holy hell, 22 million for half a year, and here is the wammy, he just pitches at home games, and what really gets me is that he doesn't have to travel with the team. What makes him better than anyone else? Nothing. Maybe the fact that he is old is his only saving grace, but co'mon, that is absurd that he doesn't have to travel and he STILL gets paid millions. The day athletes play the game because they love it is when Ill get a lot more respect for them. Until then, enjoy your money.

The season from hell.

Well, basically the title says it all. What it all comes down to, is this season sucks for the Cincinnati Reds. Although I must admit, I do like some of the young prospects that we are beginning to see in the Reds organization, I just don't know how well they're going to A) Do in the major leagues and B) Fit in with the Reds. Homer Bailey has been showing good signs pitching with the Bats in Louisville, and quite frankly, I cant wait to see him up in the bigs. Our pitching SUCKS, (which is no shock to you, I'm sure). Anyways, I just don't know if they should bring him up now, or wait till the tail of the season so he can get some more practice in AAA. Oh well, I guess we won't know until we bring him up, (please God, let it be soon). And second, where did this Josh Hamilton guy come from? Ya know what? I don't care, he can hit for power, average, he can shag balls well, and he can run, so I vote "yay". Let's just not get stupid and trade him away once management realizes he's good, (ala Reese and Kearns last year). That's all for tonight folks! Enjoy the new site!
