John Fay’s column yesterday was an attempt to list reasons why the Reds shouldn’t trade Brandon Phillips and/or Bronson Arroyo. It’s all based on the premise that the Reds might be able to compete in 2010.
Personally, I think that’s silly; I don’t think...

At least the umpires give us something else at which to direct our frustration. You can only bad-mouth Willy Taveras so many times, you know?

Please, Johnny Cueto, please don’t let the Reds get swept. All you have to do is hit one home run, then pitch like you usually do. That’s all we need!

When I saw that the Reds were taking months to sign Jerry Hairston I was scared to death that they were going to give him a multi-year deal worth $20 million or something. I mean after all we did just give Willy Taveras $6.25 million for what ever he does. Anyways Mark Sheldon is reporting...

In Cincinnati, Chris Dickerson is making a case for the full time centerfield job. As Willy Taveras continues not to get on base (NOT A SINGLE WALK IN THE MONTH OF JUNE!!) Dickerson finds himself with a respectable .288 AVG and .389 OBP. He's not doing much with regards to power...
