A common misconception is that VORPies hate the stolen base. That couldn’t be further from the truth. Stolen bases are great and very valuable. What VORPies do hate, however, are caught stealings. One caught stealing hurts considerably more than one stolen base helps. Therefore, when evaluating players, it’s not helpful to look at stolen bases [...]

The first Video Friday of the post-Adam Dunn Era has me feeling pretty down. I have absolutely no faith in the current ownership group to field a winner. This sucks. So here’s a video celebrating the 1990 Reds.

The Reds are mired in dead fucking last in the Central. Not a pretty picture, to say the least. So what’s the plan going forward?

2. Keep hitting Griffey 3rd.
3. Call up an obviously not ready for prime time Homer Bailey.
