The Reds have the offense, and with a healthy Griffey even without Kearns hitting like he did last year they will score runs.

The starting pitching is decent, and that's all it needs to be right now. Honestly, I know what I'm getting with Paul Wilson. Harang and Acevedo have looked good, and so has Lidle. Haynes sucks and they need 1 more good bullpen pitcher.

Jesus, does it really take that much money out of your pocket Uncle Carl? Does it really just burn your ass to spend just a little more money? This is BS. As soon as Kearns went down they should have been shopping for a veteran outfielder and sign him to a 1 year deal. As soon as Haynes proved once again that he can't get major league hitters out they should have been shopping. As soon as they blew the lead once again last night they should have been shopping. They should be on the phone right now trying to buy some players, but they're not. We'll just bring up Luke Prokopec, or maybe try to lure Tom Browning out of retirement, or maybe Rick Mahler. This is crap.

...it's a good thing that they let Reitsma go. They were certainly deep enough in quality pitching to do so. Another stellar move by the new Bungles of MLB.

I heard they are trying to trade Riedling for an outfielder named Nunez from the Marlins!

And Graves is also on the block but no interest for a closer who throws an 88 mph sinker and makes 6 mil per year!

The Reds are Fantastic!
