Time out to report a few new personnel moves:
1. Chris Michalak is on bereavement leave following the passing of his maternal grandmother on Sunday and will be away for at least three days (still expected to start Wednesday vs. Houston).
2. To fill Hopper's roster slot, IF/OF Norris Hopper, the International League batting leader with .349 (who made his major league debut with a pinch-single against the Pirates yesterday) was called up from Louisville.
3. To make room on the 40-man for Hopper, Mike Burns was DFA'ed.
4. Eddie Guardado has been placed on the 15-day DL on Sunday.
5. Matt Belisle was activated from the DL. He did not allow a run in six rehab appearances for the Bats.
OK, I think that's all of them.

In today's notebook at the Dayton Daily News (subscription required), Todd Coffey talks about what he stores on his iPod.
“I'm a movie freak. Lots of movies. Lord of the Rings. I'm a sci-fi guy. OK, I guess I'm just a big ol' nerd.”
Just another reason for me to like him.
Now let's see him continue his resurgence in his late-innings relief role.

As you will all recall, RHM and JD are putting together a little get together at the Reds game on September 23rd versus the Cubs. They have asked me to coordinate the ticket purchase for that day, and given that this past Saturday's game featuring the pitching matchup of Joe Mays vs. David Bush had sold out, I think it makes sense to get organized now for a game on the last Saturday of the season against the Cubs.
The plan right now is to start gathering together around lunch time or so. We can grab a bite together and get to know each other before we head over to the Hall of Fame for a jaunt through Reds history. After that, we can head into the park to catch some BP, buy souvenir tee shirts, and hassle the last-place Cubs fans (they'll be in last place by then). Thirty minutes before game time is the Mascot Whiffle Ball game, an event that you will regret missing. Game time is 6:10pm, where we'll watch and cheer the Reds to a dominating victory, I'm sure. Afterwards, we'll find a place to drink some beers and listen to some great local music.
In order to encourage more people to join in, we will be buying $9 bleacher seats, but if Eric Milton is pitching we should have plenty opportunity for catching a home run. If you would like to add your name to the list, please do so in this thread. We'll be gathering names over the next week (until 7/31) and then I'm going to head down to the park to pick up the tickets. After we get a complete list of names, either RHM or myself will send you an email with details about how to get your tickets if you can't make it to the pregame activities and how we can exchange payment. I'd prefer to receive money before the game, if you don't mind.
I hope to see you all there!

Quoting the AP
“The San Diego Padres found the bullpen help they were seeking, acquiring right-hander Scott Williamson on Saturday from the Chicago Cubs in exchange for two minor league pitchers.
The Cubs received Class-A pitchers Fabian Jimenez and Joel Santo in the deal. The Padres are still looking for a third baseman before the trading deadline. ”
I thought you needed to trade starters to get bull pen help……

Yes, that's right, everyone's favorite lustful reliever has been cleared from the malicious accusations made by a random, cruel-hearted Milwaukeean bitch. Call him back up, Krivsky! He should've never been sent down in the first place. What happened to innocent until proven guilty? Free Love Shack!
