Apparently Whtie is the new White....

and yes, I was correct in my assumption. The Reds screwed this one up. However, at the time of my assuming this, I didn't know the whole Griffey vs. the guys in the booth hurrah , so I guess it was more of a knee jerk get-this-guy out of town thing on ole' Bobby's part.

And that sucks. Griffey was the only sure fire trade option at this point, given Arroyo's recent sucking (thus ruining is trade value) and Dunn's hot streak (giving him a 57th chance to become the consistent deep threat the Red's need). And for him we got a mediocre at best relief pitcher and a AAA 2nd basemen with a bum back and average-on-a-good-day hitting.

Way to go for what we need, doushebags. I understand Griffey doesn't have the value he once did, but color me unimpressed.

I'd love to hear everyone else's opinion

Griffey to the Whtie Sox

I have a feeling the Reds screwed this one up....

Fun Fact about me:

Whenever I create myself in any baseball videogames, I have always used "Griffey" as my batting stance.

Cheers to the most beautiful swing in the game.

"Chad Who?"

It looks like there is a new Cincinnati favorite arising, and to my shock and surprise, he doesn't don the orange and black.

I may not be ordering a jersey yet, but I'd be lying if I tried to act like I haven't checked the price...

Sure, Bruce is not the savior of the franchise. He is a piece, though. Maybe the sudden rise of Volquez (a true talent at SP for once?!!?!) is more reason to be excited, but hitting fills the seats. Just that has happened since Bruce has arrived, too. For the Pirates series, in which Bruce made his MLB debut, attendance was hovering right around 17,000, excluding the always popular Indians series.

For the 3-game series against the Braves (admittedly, a team that probably has a higher draw anyways), attendance more than doubled to an average of 37,181. Barring a terrible away stretch, I imagine those numbers are going to continue for at least the next few home games.

I know I plan on making a game, before I wake up...
