Cincinnati Sports...Not as Sucky as before.
Dude? Dude! Dude?! Duuude...It still may be too early too tell, but the Cincinnati Reds seem like they may actually be pretty good. They are leading the league in home runs, and on base percentage. When they get decent pitching, they can beat anyone it seems. It is looking like the trade of Willy Mo Pena for Bronson Arroyo, was quite a coup for the Reds. Bronson is now 5-0, he was lights out on Monday night. He pitched a complete game two hitter. Me likey Bronson. On a side note, my lovely wife still doesn't care. No Casey = No care.
Now for the Bengals. Draft day went pretty good. It was very nice to go into a draft, and be able to draft for the future. The Bengals have no real pressing needs. The one position that they were looking to upgrade for this season was addressed with a free agent signing of tight end Ryan Hamby of Ohio State and Moeller High School fame. Good hands, but not so fast.
The Bengals also apparently signed one of the Wild Samoans of WWE fame. I wouldn't say he is fat, brother is Samoan. What the fuck you gonna do?
Snoogans!

I'm not drinking the Reds Kool-Aid. Bronson Arroyo reminds me of when the Reds acquired David Wells back in 95. Sure he's talented and pitching great (so far...), but like Wells Cincinnati isn't Arroyo's cup-o-tea (too square), so he'll be heading back to Boston the second the season is over.

Here's something from Hal McCoy in today's Dayton Daily News. It turns out that Bronson Arroyo can't escape Cincy after this season afterall.
"While we're on the subject of rules, I had a senior moment last week when I said pitcher Bronson Arroyo can become a free agent after the season because he was traded in the midst of a long-term contract. Normally, that's correct — as long as the player has five years in the majors. Arroyo doesn't. He has about 2 1/2 years so he isn't eligible for free agency and the Reds will control his contract. And isn't that a good thing? Thanks to the many who pointed that out, including the phone call from GM Wayne Krivsky, who was hoping I hadn't heard of a new rule of which he wasn't aware. Fat chance."
