It's time once again for that most celebrated of blogging traditions, the Reds bloggers roundtable. Eight of us got together in a virtual setting on Monday night, to discuss the state of the Reds. The parts of the discussion will be popping up all over the Reds blogosphere, so just follow the links. We missed Blade of the Cutting Edge and the guys of Redleg Nation, but we had just about everyone else. Participants were: Shawn, myself, your humble host at the Cincinnati Reds Blog; J.D., celebrated star of the Red Reporter; Doc Scott, redoubtable master of Reds and Blues; and JinAZ, up-and-coming star of On Baseball and the Reds. Lest you think the women were slighted, fear not: the fairer sex was well represented. There was, of course, the inimitable Red Hot Mama; Jacci, half of the team at We Heart the Reds; Sister Daedalus of The Church of Baseball; and Ashlee, writer of ....and This One Belongs to the Reds on mlblogs.com. That's the scorecard, now on to the show. In this installment, the principals gather and introduce themselves, and prepare for the main event. I am your humble moderator: Daedalus: Bets on who will win the HR derby? I pick Howard. Shawn: Ortiz seems a good bet too. If not him, I'd pick Howard. Pujols will do well. Doc Scott: I guess I'm gonna be pink again- Jacci said I had to Jacci: That's right, you do! Doc Scott: pink and chatting, there I am Daedalus: I don't know what that means Doc Scott: you easterners are all mean, so I have to do this from work Jacci: You can ask it to choose colors for you? Daedalus: you can ask it to flip a coin or pick a number, too. Jacci: That's entertaining. Useless I suppose, but entertaining Daedalus rolled a die. The die showed: 3 Daedalus: yeah, i guess it's to settle arguments? Jacci: That is quite possible Jacci: Oh, sorry we are so mean and eastern Scott Daedalus: Scott, if it makes you feel any better, i am working too, though I am at home now Doc Scott: that die-rolling thing is obviously for gamer nerds who can't drive or catch a ride from their mom Shawn: Hey!! Doc Scott: hey, I was one once Doc Scott: Jacci, I'm continually frightened by your strange world Jacci: My strange world? Doc Scott: all of y'all's strange world Doc Scott: (spits) Jacci: I think you lost me. Doc Scott: this happens a lot Doc Scott: me losing people, that is Doc Scott: either that, or you're a bot Jacci: No, not a bot, just brain fried or something Doc Scott: ah Doc Scott: yes, I suspect I would know some possible reasons why Jacci: We should be on the same page though, both selecting the same fine institution for college and all that Doc Scott: right Doc Scott: damned if I can remember what it was, though Doc Scott: heh Jacci: That happens Doc Scott: okay, so question: is someone going to present the issues one-by-one, like the McLaughlin Group? Doc Scott: or is this an all-out freewheelin' bar brawl? JinAZ: I'm all for some degree of moderation... Jacci: As fun as bar brawls are, I'm a pretty big fan of organization Doc Scott: I think we've tried both in the past JinAZ: I've always felt the more "organized" ones flowed better when reading them in the past. :) Daedalus: JinAZ, that's an ugly color you have for your name. Shawn: I'll do the moderation. Shawn: In moderation JinAZ chuckles Doc Scott: I figured J was a closet Padre fan Shawn: Giving everyone a couple minutes to get here. Doc Scott: I, on the other hand, am a Lovely Ladies fan Jacci: I think it claims to be gold, but I also think it's lying. Daedalus winks? Red Hot Mama: issue one: The season's going down the Gapper. Discuss! Daedalus: oh good, it worked JinAZ: Yeah, I think it's more of an olive than a gold...but whatever. Jacci: Has everyone stopped talking or has my computer crapped out? JinAZ: Are we started? Red Hot Mama: Just waiting Daedalus: issue one: I think we'll know if this statement is true or not about a week after the all-star break. All of those meltdowns by his royal suckiness Stormy Weathers and his royal court probably mentally affected the rest of the guys. Red Hot Mama: Here's a question while we're waiting: what contributed most to Arroyo's horrible start yesterday. Choices are: Doc Scott: well, I would think that Reds fans are fairly used to the "fast start, then warm the Vaseline" concept- it's been that way quite frequently over the past few years Daedalus: Also, I'm thinking that in a week, Krivsky will make a big move. No way he won't. Doc Scott: plus, it's a market correction that more properly reflects the Reds' actual talent level Daedalus: So that will contribute to a better second half Doc Scott: at least there's not this sense of sitting on hands Shawn: OK, who's here? Shawn: Roll call. Daedalus: present Red Hot Mama: aye Jacci: here JinAZ: Hello... Ashlee: Here! JinAZ: No JD, no one from Redleg Nation... Shawn: and no Blade. Red Hot Mama: JD's on his way JD: Heya Doc Scott: time for JD and his traditional Axl Rose-timed entrance JD: I'm an idiot, sorry Shawn: No time like the present, dude. Shawn: Hope everyone got the questions beforehand, in the e-mail. JD: Questions? Wha? JD: Kidding. Check this space for links to the other parts, or surf the Reds bloggers to read more. |
