Luckily Micheal Young decided to come out of that little slump of his when he did.

MLB: Reds' Dunn swings back at Ricciardi
Posted: June 19, 2008, 1:35 PM by Jeremy Sandler
GTA, Baseball, MLB
Adam Dunn's free-swinging ways evidently are not limited to the baseball diamond.
The Cincinnati Reds outfielder let fly at Toronto Blue Jays general manager J.P. Ricciardi on Thursday for comments Ricciardi made on his radio show Wednesday night.
"I know nothing about this clown. I have no idea who he is," Dunn told reporters in Cincinnati on Thursday. "I don't really care what one guy thinks, to be honest with you. If I'm a GM, I don't know if I would go out of my way to kind of discredit a player.
"It [ticks] me off to be honest with you. He doesn't even know me. If he knew me, fine, say what you want. This guy doesn't know anything about me other than what he sees on whatever SportsCenter they have up there. That's it."
Ricciardi trashed Dunn while responding to callers who suggested the 28 year old might boost Toronto's struggling and power-deprived offence. Dunn has hit 40 or more home runs in each of the last four seasons, although he has also struck out at least 165 times each year.
"Do you know the guy doesn't really like baseball that much?" Ricciardi said, when asked about trading for Dunn. "Do you know the guy doesn't have a passion to play the game that much? How much do you know about the player?
"There's a reason why you're attracted to some players and there's a reason why you're not attracted to some players. I don't think you'd be very happy if we brought Adam Dunn here ...
"We've done our homework on guys like Adam Dunn and there's a reason why we don't want Adam Dunn. I don't want to get into specifics."
Dunn and the Reds will visit Toronto for a three-game inter-league series beginning next Tuesday, but the outfielder said Ricciardi's comments would not put him in vendetta mode.
"The players didn't say anything," said Dunn. "It was some clown sitting in the front office pushing paper."
Dunn did suggest he was not likely to join the Blue Jays if he does leave the Reds in a trade or as a free agent.
"If anything happens, I ain't going to Toronto," Dunn said. "I can eliminate one team. I'm not converting my dollars to loonies and toonies just yet."

I know what is wrong with my team.
CC sucked arse early on, our entire line up has sucked arse, then on top of it, we have had so many injuries to key players it isn't even funny.
Westbrook-out for the year
Carmona-another 8 plus weeks
Hafner-who the hell knows how long.
Martinez-going to be awhile
Our bull pen was awesome last year, is absoulte garbage this year and we have the worst BA in the league.
I can't believe we our were we are, but with all the injuries and our team being in the dumps right now, I guess it could be worse, lol!

If I were Mets GM:
1- demote Delgado to the bench or trade him for bag of balls (have Easley platooning 1B with Tatis and Phillips)
2- give up on Alou and search for a bat who can hit lefties (Nady!)
3- demote Oliver Perez to the bullpen (long relief) and have Claudio Vargas or Tony Armas Jr. be our 5th guy (Pelfrey is doing good..he can be #4)
4- trade Heilman & Marlon Anderson (seriously man wtf?) for Colorado's Fuentes
5- bat Church 2nd and have Castillo hitting 8th
