We will turn it around soon.
It was funny a couple of days ago. Now it just stinks.
Maybe this thread needs to be moved to the Thoughts and Prayers section.

Once again, why was Maloney called back up?

I think the more important question is why the heck is Gomes still on this team?

B/c he was a vital part to our team winning last year. Although he slumped in the second half of the season, it was Gomes that started the momentum last may which took us to first place. I think they're waiting for a while to see if he will get on a roll again, then trade him when it comes closer to the trade deadline. I'm not sure if he has options at this point, and it would be useless to have him DFA.

I would love to see him DFA'ed. No one is going to claim him and pay 1.25 million to a guy not hitting above .200. So, we can then send him to AAA. If he refuses, he gets no money.

But he could be part of a trade bundle. I'd rather see us get something of value in return for him.

Did Dan actually just participate in sports discussion?
:-)
More importantly, how come Dusty still hasn't shaken up this lineup? And why are they not seriously considering a package for Reyes?

I see what you are saying, but do you think we could actually get something in return for him?

Too far from trade deadline? It was posed to me on another board that most trades of any significance do NOT happen this early in the year. I looked it up, and other than the big trade with Piazza back in 98 (and that was due to personal conflicts), I couldn't find any.

Sissies.

Probably better, you missed the Reds not being able to score on a position player pitching for the Phils. And some questionable decisions by Dusty
:-)
Dan missed his boy going 0'fer in extras. Kind of like a normal game for him though I suppose. MVP!MVP!
