Isn’t that the game they got beat 10 to 3 or something like that…
I’m still waiting for him to get a hit when they are 1-2 runs down….
I really can’t remember that happening this year….
Is M. Hernandez still alive…with his .280 Avg… dying on the bench!
Another good example of Navarro’s poor performance…..
Sitting here watching the game and Navarro hits a little weak ground ball
with the bases loaded (4th Inning) and 2 outs…oh well… I’m used to it..
Does Maddon like (man crush) little fat spanish guys…..
Forgot..there was a substitute Radio Talk show host on 620 am, 4-6pm, Monday on the “Big-Dog” show saying Zobrist was NOT deserving of being on the team…there were too many good players left off….
I need help….I can’t find my gun!
The Burrell signing is starting to make me sick. Jonny Gomes has done way more for the Reds than Burrell has done for us, and in half as many at-bats. Not only is Jonny more productive but also much cheaper and it’s clear that everyone misses him.
I really hope Pat steps it up. Right now, this past offseason is really making our front office guys look bad.
I know Pat the Patient hasn’t been good at all, but Johnny Gomes???
Please, please, please don’t ever compare Jonny Gomes to a real player! If anyone on the Rays miss him its because they need entertained in the clubhouse/dugout
Thanks Dirtbag fan, for a bit of a reality check here. Jonny Gomes is like one of those hockey players who is kept on the team just to mix it up during a fight. But whereas hockey is a contact sport, where that kind of physicality has a real role, in baseball you just don’t need to hold a roster spot for a guy just because he’s not afraid to throw a punch. Gomes had the occasional hot spurt as a hitter, but for the most part he was a sure pop-up or strike-out. You’d blink and he’d have two strikes on him! His throwing arm is mediocre….I love his spirit, but that’s not enough. The fact that Burrell has been a disappointment doesn’t mean that Gomes was or is the answer, any more than Navi’s bad season makes me long for Toby Hall (he was a nice guy, too).
Who’s Not…you forgot Navarro…unless you have a new catagory…
Who’s nothing: Navarro
well, it would be a little hard to put him on there 2 days after he had a double, a home run and drove in 3 against the Rangers.

REAL player? Jonny is as real as it gets.
The numbers don’t lie either. Go check for yourself. Unlike some players, he is clearly earning his salary
Burrell has moved down to Jonny Gomes level…in.. fact I’m sorry Jonny!

Guess it’s fair to say Pat the bat played like most guys do in a contract year in 2008.
And in 2009 when he got the contract, he played like most players do after they get the contract.
