“I say and I say it again, you’ve been had. You’ve been took. You’ve been hoodwinked, bamboozled, led astray, run amok.” ~Malcolm X (Malcolm X – a Spike Lee joint) I couldn’t have said it better myself (probably because Denzel Washington has a way better speaking voice, and he’s well…Denzel). Someone has tried to pull the […]

C’mon! You didn’t think I was going to go into some long-winded analogy about cholesterol, heart-healthy diets, and cardiology, did you? Did you? I’m not that predictable, or at least I hope I’m not that predictable. No, I’m talking about the heart of the order. In this case, I’m specifically talking about Rasmus-Pujols-Holliday. Consider what […]

Introduction (aka a bunch of words at the top): An introduction is most certainly in order. I’m Dennis, but you may know me on Twitter as gr33nazn – owner of #ManFridge.

Some closing notes on the manager’s moves during the Reds series (and not the vomiting part): Randy Winn only had one at-bat. Aaron Miles only had one at-bat, and that was after coming in as a defensive substitution for Skip Schumaker at second base. For the record, I’m okay with that move. Allen Craig was […]

I watched last night’s game while also trying to get some other things done – multi-tasking! – and decided I’d try to keep some stream of consciousness notes on the game so I could easily recall some things to write about today. Well, if you watched the game or have checked the box score – […]

Anyone interested in some reading before tonight’s game? Yeah, I thought so… If you haven’t been following already check out Steve Treder’s fabulous “what if?” scenarios – Part 1 and Part 2 – for the 1971-1980 Redbirds over at The Hardball Times. The Flagrant Fan digs on Jon Jay, Allen Craig, Colby Rasmus and the […]

Taking into account that Whiteyball is all but dead, I am still surprised by what this little experiment has taught me. My heart and head were in the right place (for once) by pushing for Colby to take over his chosen role. But boy, the responses shocked even my most cynical viewpoints about TLR and […]
