    Arroyo-2, Wily Mo-0

    Arroyo homered again today. That's 2 homers on the season for Brunson.

      Let's see, former Red Sox pitchers, traded away.....become home run hitting machines on their new team.............................................. .......

            Somehow I don't think this trade is going to end up being as bad as the last on though.

              And Arroyo is pitching well so far, too. So far, so good for the Reds...

                  Heh, certainly not. Just thought it was a funny coincidence.

                  But yeah Longhorn, today's homer was a SHOT for such a small dude.

                    Wily Mo may be -1 but he provides nice unintentional comedy.

                    Besides giving the Cat a 2 run HR, here are his comments about the mock cheers he recieved after catching 2 fly balls:

                    “That was incredible,” he said. “It gave like more energy to me. They’re happy here, whatever you do.”

                    That's just Wily Mo being Wily Mo!

                      If Wily Mo keeps striking out at the rate he is he won't be as excited about Red Sox fans response. Another week or two of this and he'll be getting the Mark Bellhorn treatment.

                        Remember 2 weeks ago when everyone and their mother thought that this trade was just SO MUCH BETTER for the Red Sox? Remember how I was like "Arroyo will be a great pitcher and could get 13-15 wins for the Reds"? Yeah...

                        ME RIGHT

                        YOU WRONG

                          Yes, because the first week of the season is always a perfect indicator of what will really happen.

                            It's freakin Wily Mo Pena. I don't care if you only give up a sack of nickels for the guy, you're still not gonna get the better end of the deal.

                              Exactly! I'm glad we're in agreement here.

                              I kid, I kid.

                              I'm happy to see Arroyo doing as well as he is, though. It bodes well for his success. A win is a win, especially in spring. If he keeps it up, the double digits are not far out of reach. I still expect a high ERA in the end, but I think with him on the mound and what offense they do have, that he could win enough games to prove that he's not just some "fluke".
