Let’s see, while I was away Jay Bruce broke his hand (which, when you think about it, can only help his batting average), Edwin Encarnacion started hitting (huh?), Bronson Arroyo extended his scoreless-inning streak to 16 (this guy drives me insane), Aaron Harang, winless in his last nine starts, saw his record fall to 5-10 (…), and the Reds made no deals (yet).
Sounds like a typical, maddening, week in Reds Land.
More importantly, the Reds are three games under .500 and hoping praying to stay alive in the NL Central. I don’t think this team has a chance of hanging around much longer, but stranger things have happened.
Like that time when the Reds put Steve Parris on the mound for the one-game playoff against the Mets in 1999.
And I would just like to state, for the record, that I would absolutely love it if the Reds, somehow, found a way to trade for — and more importantly, sign — Jason Bay. It will never happen, but I would love to see it.

F-ing Steve Paris, man that brings me back.
Comment by JoseOle July 20, 2009 @ 7:57 AMJason Bay… c’mon! Won’t happen, Dusty would have to bat lefties back to back.
Comment by The Godfather July 20, 2009 @ 11:06 AMYes, although it won’t happen, Jason Bay would be a wonderful addition … gotta have that RH bat.
