Cornerstone's Worship Band played at Crosby's Day at Sticker's Grove this weekend and Jess has some cool pictures from that. But, until she downloads them, I thought I would just say a few words about the Cincinnati Reds. I'm just so happy for Cincy to get such a good pick up this offseason. Bronson Arroyo has been absolutely awesome! He now has six wins and two losses with a league leading 2.29 ERA. He pitched 7 innings last night with only 1 earned run. Absolutely great. Then you couple that pitching with Aaron Harang who is tied for fourth in strikeouts with 67. His last outing he pitched 8 innings with only 1 earned run off of 5 hits. THEN you add Todd Coffey who quite possibly could be the best reliever in the National League with 22 appearances and a whopping ERA of 0.70! And that's just the pitching. With Griffey back, Dunn hitting 16 home runs (on pace for another 40+ season), and Kearns back to form, the Reds should be a contender this season. That's all for now...shout out to all those reds fans out there. Sorry to jinx them!

Yeah, watching him with my Sox, I knew this dude was special. You all better thank God, though, that he worked on his breaking pitches (slider/curve) in the off-season with Red Sox staff. If he'd have come here with his love of keeping curve balls in the zone, you might have ad another Eric Milton on your hands. You know there's no way that the Reds pitching coaches could've helped him with that. Even when it benefits other teams I must say "Go Sox!"
Oh yeah, one starter can't get you into the post-season, so don't get your hopes up. Sorry to burst Cincy's bubble, but they need to get at least a couple other viable threats on the mound (not to mention a "real" bullpen, butwe won't even go there). Once they do that, then we can talk.
Hey, I don't know much about baseball, but couldn't they find a better word than RELIEVER for pitchers? I mean come on, all the words in the english language and my title is RELIEVER!!!!
