Mark Buehrle just threw a perfect game against the Tampa Bay Rays. In the 9th with no one out, the Rays batter hit a shot into the gap in left center field, but on his way to the rescue was none other than DeWayne Wise to make an amazing catch and keep perfection intact. That single play may have caused White Sox fans to think they got the better end of the Griffey trade.

The Drew Sutton Era Begins in Cincy (Update: Well that was quick)

According to Fay, Burton has been sent down and Drew Sutton has been called up to the Reds.  Everytime I try to attach the link, my post gets screwed up, so I'll just copy it.

I think I was leaning against this move anyway. Let the young guys take over this team and let's see where that gets us.

Looks like John Fay won't be asking Walt any tough questions anytime soon - all us bloggers and stat guys be damned.

"I'm like a lot of other people: I'm not sure the Reds have enough offense to win. But I haven't put together seven playoff teams, two NL pennant winners and a world champion. So chances of Jocketty being right about this team are conisiderably better than my chances. "

But you can still do your job and ask him what the hell he's thinking!

Ken Griffey's uniform. He won't be with the Reds anymore, of course, and today we learn his option year won't be picked up by the Chicago White Sox for 2009. Where will Griffey end his career?

Is this what Cincinnatians woke up to in their morning paper?

I am not in Cincinnati anymore, but still check out the Enquirer's coverage of the local teams on line.  Today, I was looking forward to reading about the Reds' impressive showing against the formerlly hotest team in baseball hoping to find some quotes from players and even Dusty to see if there's any evidence he's regained his sanity.

 

So, what do I find?

The Season hinges on this weekend

The first half of the season has been incredibly frustrating, mostly, because the problems we're used to having - lousy bullpen and no hope for a rotation - aren't the biggest problems, but rather the one thing we could always count on - the offense - has been.  In my mind, I had written this team off.  The season was over about a month ago or so.  Moslty, that is due to my coping mechanisms for dealing with disappointment that won't allow me to get my hopes up too high. 

 

But I am going to try, one more time, to get my hopes up again.  And that means this weekend is the most imortant series of the year.

ESPN on Cordero and the Reds' Bullpen

This latest piece by Jayson Stark on ESPN is certainly nothing new and we have hashed it up pretty good when the signing was made, but it is still nice to see a full length piece on ESPN about a team not in New York or Boston.  And that it is about our Reds is even more intriguing.
