At least I don't have to watch Gomes do his Adam Dunn impersonation in left anymore. Small victories.

Dusty single handedly allowed this game to go to shat. He needs to be fired immediately. Take Jacoby with him.

I do not want to see a fire sell. I think this team would look a lot better record and production wise if they had a manager with a brain making better decisons. Leaving Masset in there to destroy morale in this game is a prime example.

Yeah, Ondrusek was so much better last night. Should have run him back out there. At some point, people are going to join reality and accept the fact this team is simply no damn good.

6 unearned runs allowed. That's some quality baseball.

The worst part is, Dusty decided to pull the same bull**** he does most every night and leave a starter in for too long and compounded it by using Masset or we would still be in this.

I'm thinking Dave Martinez or Joey Cora is just what the doctor ordered for this team. They've got to finally get rid of the country club culture that has lingered since the Griffey/Dunn years.

I could get behind either one of those hires.

That is exactly what I am getting at. Every pitcher or player is going to have bad days. Dusty seems to have the mentality of letting a struggling pitcher try and fight through his issues on the mound. The problem with that is when a guy is costing the rest of the team and the franchise much needed wins in the process. Masset should have been yanked when he first showed signs of screwing up.

When this team came back to take the lead after awful defense in the first half of the game, you don't let Masset or whoever give up the lead trying to straighten out their mentality on the mound. If the guy has sucked the past 4 outings you don't leave him in there to squander the lead when he clearly is not all there between the ears. Not only does it hurt the confidence further of the pitcher struggling, but it destroys the morale of the rest of the team who managed to come back and take the lead.

Dusty needs to quit being a buddy and pull out the freaking hook on guys who clearly are not performing. If he can't manage to do that than we need to hand the team off to Speier or call up Rick Sweet to take over this team. Anybody for that matter. Dusty is the problem first and foremost. Before this team starts trading off all of its young guys, we need to make sure it is not a toothpick checking jackass ruining their development. Time and time again it is Dusty who is making the losses happen.

But an official of one other club believes "the team [the Rockies] really want to do this deal with is Cincinnati, because they've got the young starting pitching to give back. So I think that's where this is going."
....

So for the Yankees, that would mean Ivan Nova -- plus two or three jewels from their system. For the Reds, it would mean Homer Bailey or Travis Wood -- plus the cream of that prospect pool (though one source adamantly denied reports that either Aroldis Chapman or catching stud Devin Mesoraco would be part of this package).

All the guys we are in on would still be here next year. We aren't targeting rentals.

still don't think nothing is gonna get done. jimenez the price is to steep and there are rumors of arm problems. The reds are out of the race so rental players are out and they are not going to pick up much payroll so i really just don't see a whole lot happening. Reds seem to be connected with every trade, but in my opinion jock won't pull the trigger.
