I'm waiting for LaTroy's first story to appear in The New Yorker. I'm sure it will be a fascinating read, full of insights and character development. Anybody who can use profanity like that has to be a future Pulitzer Prize winner. You're my hero, LaTroy.

go gio, go

let koch pitch in blowouts. maybe he can refine his command and regain his confidence. But it's silly to let him ruin another season. STOP THE MADNESS! No more Koch in the ninth inning

of course, Kenny Williams played college football Therefore, you have your answer. and he was a bust as a player.

College football quarter == big-time reach. Most of them bust. bad pick

Fields was a big-time reach. Football players have proven to be BAD baseball players. See video of Drew Henson, Josh Booty, Chad Hutchinson, Quincy Carter, Chris Weinke and Joe Borchard for details. They don't get enough reps during their developmental years because of all the time they spend with chinstraps on. Dumb pick

I'm ready for Borchard. better find out what he can do 'cause I ain't expecting Number 30 to be at 35th and Dan Ryan next season. Good luck, Joe

release Koch Or let him pitch mop-up innings only. You rip the heart out of team when you lose games the way Koch gives them away! ENOUGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

either release him or let him pitch as a clean up man in games that are out of hand. He ruined last season and now he's ruining this season. ENOUGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Drew Henson, Chris Weinke, Quincy Carter, Josh Booty, Chad Hutchinson, Joe Borchard, how many of these football guys have actually delivered? Seems like a reach to me. Give me a baseball player. Seen enough football players pretending to be baseball players. BAD PICK

DJ blabbering about how Kotsay had not hit a home run since September, couldn't find his stroke. before he could say another word, Hawk sez: HE HAS NOW. SHINGO for closer.

nice call D.J. shut your mouth next time, you moron. man, that was annoying

Danny graves 26 saves for the Reds, by the way. hard to imagine that

Adkins? interesting call by Ozzaroo.

more botch? probably because Damaso pitched two-plus last night. But we do have an off day tomorrow

OK, you, uribe

Who wants to be Mr. Clutch? How 'bout you, Sandy?

Bottom line is that most of us are tired of Koch because even when he succeeds it feels like you've been to hell and back because of all the ball three counts and walks. it's not the way top shelf closers do it. Joe Crede finally heating up.

OAKLAND'S Bullpen has been horrible. We need to score three or four runs.

Whew!! Let's win this. Hawk is finished with Koch, too. His closing comment: "Koch gives it up in the bottom of the ninth. And we'll go to extra innings."

Koch is just ridiculously tough to watch, stomach or trust

need this game to stop the stinking West Coast funk. Anybody else for Shingo for closer?

I hope Mulder doesn't go for payback today, even though everybody knows it was not intentional.

For the record on Reed. He did slump with some wrist problems. but he's back over .290 with an OBP of .387. Not hitting for much power, but he's got 28 walks and only 23 strikeouts. That's impressive for a guy less than two full years out of college in his first two months in AAA. And, remember, he hit much better last season after the weather warmed up.

maybe we could trade Rauch for Ginter and Royce Ring
