Baseball. Blogging. Whenever.Sunday, October 04, 2009Dick Pole: Going DeeperIn my rush to make an immature joke the other night in the wake of Dick Pole's firing, I neglected to think hard about the possible reasons for his dismissal despite a more or less decent Reds' pitching staff. Viva El Birdos is speculating a bit, however: Isn't it curious that the Reds fired pitching coach Dick Pole one day after the pine tar fiasco involving Bronson Arroyo? They chose now, w/ three games left in the season, to fire him? Interesting. So, was Dick Pole involved in the ball-rubbing scandal? We'll probably never know unless someone offers up a tip. Great Moments in awful opening sentencesWow. Bill Plaschke gets paid for writing sentences like this: Sick of staring at it, the Dodgers became it, pouring themselves across Chavez Ravine on Saturday night like the champagne that has haunted them. Clayton Kershaw popped. Casey Blake bubbled. Mark Loretta sprayed. An entire dugout of bouncing blue poured into the cool night awash in intoxicating relief. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
