The Reds designated for assignment pitcher Jung Keun Bong yesterday to make room for the newly signed Scott Hatteberg.
Bong and Bubba Nelson were the booty the Reds received from Atlanta in exchange for the beloved righty Chris Reitsma in March 2004. Nelson was also designated for assignment, cleared waivers, and was outrighted to Louisville on February 3 of this year. Bong is sure to clear waivers, too. There aren't a lot of teams gobbling up Reds cast-offs these days.
Well, the Nationals. And the Pirates. OK, maybe it's not a sure thing.
Now that Dunn is signed and the Hatteberg corresponding roster move has been announced, it's looking significantly less likely that general manager Wayne Krivsky had a secret trade for Dunn in the works all along. Darn it all. I was really looking forward to gloating that I'd called it.
heh. You said Bubba, Bong, and booty all in the same post.
Sounds like a good band name. You in? I play tambourine. 😀
I get to be the tambourine. 😀
If you take the tambourine, I’ll have no choice but to bust out the bongos from my [url=http://www.donkeykonga.com/]Donky Konga[/url] game, and I don’t think any of us wants that. We’d all the time be tripping over the cord.
I call cowbell!

You misunderstand me. I don’t wanna play the tambourine, I wanna [i]be[/i] the tambourine.
Ha! That’s awesome, Geki. And I’ve always wanted to smack and shake someone until they start jingling, so this might just work out.
