« Reds Score Seven Runs in Fourteenth Inning to Blowout Padres | Reds Bats Held in Check, Lose to Padres »


Grabbing Bullpen by the Horns
June 29th, 2006 | Thaq Diesel

By Thaq Diesel

Bronson Arroyo is waiting.  He’s waiting for David Weathers to go to sleep tonight.  He has a towel in one hand and a bar of soap in the other.  Like the movie “Full Metal Jacket,” he’s about to give Weathers a hit in the stomach with the bar of soap.  “Gomer, I know you don’t mean to keep screwing up, but the rest of us all have to pay for it!!!!”

I can’t say for sure that Arroyo would have been named the NL All-Star starter over Glavine with a win tonight and there are still a few more games to sort it out, but holding on to the lead for Bronson would have helped.  There just isn’t any relief in the bullpen.  Where would you start in gutting it?  Hammond?  Weathers?  Can they work through this rut?  Coffey at least closed it out.

  • Griffey is on one of those great HR streaks he can get into. 
  • I thought it funny when F-Lo in the dugout said, “Oh my GOD!” when he saw Dunn’s HR in the third inning.  Derek Bell of the Astros once did that at the plate with one of his own homeruns.  Some pitcher threw a 90+ fastball and Bell got around on it and made a nasty look on his face watching it fly out of the park mouthing the words, “Oh My God…”
  • Good for Dunn for hitting the game-winning double in the 8th.  I never thought he would make contact after he had two strikes on him, but he came through.

“PRIVATE PYLE!  WHAT IS YOUR MAJOR MALFUNCTION?!?!?!?”
