There are no words

Okay, maybe one:Yum.

"Yeah, we have responsibility, but I don't feel any more pressure than I had last year,"

2007-02-21T05:16:00.000Z

I'm not sure Bronson ever lets himself feel pressured.Oh to be that mellow AND that successful!Bronson's picture is the sole Red player on the cover of the Reds media guide this year. "It's definitely weird to me, especially when you come from a team that had 10 other guys that would have been on the cover well before me in Boston."Aaron Harang says hello. :-)

Reds Review (Such as it is)

2007-02-15T03:13:00.000Z

Today, Pete Khazen reviewed the National League for 2007 and wrote this about the Reds:This appears to be the team year in and year out that looks downright intimidating on paper with their lineup. But that's why we play the game, right? Well, the Reds aren't as formidable heading into 2007, but Adam Dunn, Ryan Freel, Bronson Arroyo and Aaron Harang definitely pack some punch. Kirk Saarloos could

Quotes from Bronson's Press Conference

2007-02-10T12:57:00.000Z

"Last year in the beginning of the season, I was still watching a lot of Sox games and I was kind of still caught up in the middle emotionally about being traded. After being here a year and going through what we went through last year with having a chance to make the playoffs, I'm a Red through and through now.""I think the team here definitely has embraced that part of me a little more than

Noooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(er, I mean, Congratulations to Bronson!)Bronson, you break my heart. But at least you're making a lot of money doing it.(I'm so conflicted. Good for him. Bad for me and any other Boston Bronson fans.)This MLB/Direct TV thing better NOT go through. I'll never see Bronson pitch again at this rate.(Screw it. I'm still NOT giving up the vigil.)

Krivsky finally signs Harang

2007-02-07T12:32:00.000Z

A four-year contract worth $36.5 million with a club option for 2011. Not too shabby for Aaron, but also not close to being outrageous. Well-done, all around gentlemen.And I might have been too harsh on poor old Aaron before. This is a nice blurb about him:As part of his contract, Harang will make an annual donation to the Reds Community FundAnd he and his wife will be moving from San Diego to

The Boston Red Sox picked Bronson up off of waivers from the Pittsburgh Pirates on February 4, 2003. Alas, 'the hair' has yet to make its appearance.(Photo courtesy of Dale and taken on the Red Sox Cruise in January, 2004)

Flashing back to that fateful March morning

2007-01-30T03:47:00.000Z

My friend Emily, who was working in the same office as me at the time, yelled over to my cubicle,"They just traded Bronson!"I knew it was a possibility. Against his manager's advice, he had left himself open to just this scenario. But I never believed Theo would betray his trust that way. A lot of people didn't.What the hell did we know?I blogged about it that day. A lot. And then continued

Harang me, Harang me, they oughta take a rope...*

Today, Phil Rogers writes that, in 2006, Aaron Harang:Led the National League in complete gamesLed the National League in strikeoutsPitched 6 complete gamesWent 16-11Struck out 216 battersTied for the lead league in victoriesPretty impressive. The gist of the article, though, is that in spite of how well Harang pitched last season, Bronson is the pitcher for the Reds who got all the attention,

I spend a lot of time blogging about Bronson on Red Sox Chick and Sox Sistahs Speak, so I figured I'd start a blog where I could solely focus on blogging about Bronson.So when the spirit moves me, I will.Maybe I'll actually keep this up during the season. For now, I'm just marking my spot in cyberspace.I actually tried this last year (with the same blog name and address) but didn't keep it up and
