Sunday, April 27, 2008Draft RecapYesterday and today was the NFL draft. There were some pretty "exciting" things that happened. None more exciting than the fact that I got to see Mel Kiper Jr. for the last time this year. Thank goodness!  A couple teams seemed to have really good drafts which will improve their team a lot. I think the Bengals had an OK draft. I am still upset they could make it happen to draft Sedrick Ellis. Now, maybe the Pats refused to trade with them or something like that. But I have to assume the Bengals just didn't get the job done. That said, they did get Keith Rivers...who I like...and who will probably start pretty quickly for the Bengals. I don't know who Jerome Simpson, their second round pick, is. Apparently he can jump high and went to Coastal Carolina. I think the Bengals only picked him to prove they don't need scouts. "See! We found this kid down at some random school in one of the Carolinas! Who cares that we could have picked him in the 5th round. Whatever!" So we'll see. Like I said before, they did fine. Now we just need to hope our "coaches" know how to make them better.

No one really knows what is going to happen. But here is why the Reds won't win this season: Lefties. All the other team has to do is throw out a lefty to pitch...and the Reds hitters look like 10 year olds facing Walter Johnson. What? Too old of a reference? OK. Um....OK. They look like 10 year olds facing Randy Johnson. But when Randy Johnson was good. Hmm...I'm not very good at this. But you get the point...right? 2 of the last 3 games the Reds have faced an average to below average left handed pitcher. And he has totally shut them down. It's embarrasing. Also, Ryan Freel and Norris Hopper are terrible. They both make pitchers look like Roger Clemens...efore he got caught cheating. Dang! One of these days I'll think of a good one. Then who will be laughing?!?
