Kirkendall Posted December 30, 2003 Report Posted December 30, 2003 What do you guys think? I think it's a futile attempt at recovering from the embarrassing state of affairs in uncle Carls office. Quote
The Brew Man Posted December 30, 2003 Report Posted December 30, 2003 Its not much of an attempt. Bringing in Lidle is not much news to me. Another 3 or 4 starter that we will try and make into a 1 or 2. Same old thing. Oh why, oh why did football have to end? Quote
Kirkendall Posted December 30, 2003 Author Report Posted December 30, 2003 I don't think football will end in Cincy this year. There's still a lot of electricity in the air, still tons of conversation, debate... crap, I'm falling off the thread again, I'll see you in the Bengals forum. Quote
BengalszoneBilly Posted December 30, 2003 Report Posted December 30, 2003 oops, double post... That's okay 'Brew man. I like your picture of the last game the Bengals showed any attitude. Their win versus the Chiefs! We should have never made Chad shut up! It's speaks volumes about attitude. After that, it was never the same! Oops, I fell off the thread too. Wait a minute...I was never on the damn thread! Quote
AGrizzlyBaer Posted December 30, 2003 Report Posted December 30, 2003 i like him, i mean if plays like he did before the all-star break it should be good Quote
Kirkendall Posted December 31, 2003 Author Report Posted December 31, 2003 On second thought, I think Lidle is a great pickup. For 2.75 million? I think he could help rebuild the rotation. While in the NL he's 7-2 with a 3.53 ERA -- albiet only 2 starst.But he was damned good in Oakland.13-6 3.598-10 3.89He's definately an upgrade from what we have now. Quote
The Brew Man Posted December 31, 2003 Report Posted December 31, 2003 Yeah, I like him too, but only a one year deal? So, if he does have a great year, hes gone after this year.....hmmm Quote
Kirkendall Posted December 31, 2003 Author Report Posted December 31, 2003 I think that's O'Brien being cautious. If does have a great year sign him to multi-year -- if possible -- if he doesn't then O'Brien doesn't sign him back, it's a form of CYA. Quote
redsfan2 Posted January 4, 2004 Report Posted January 4, 2004 On second thought, I think Lidle is a great pickup. For 2.75 million? I think he could help rebuild the rotation. While in the NL he's 7-2 with a 3.53 ERA -- albiet only 2 starst.But he was damned good in Oakland.13-6 3.598-10 3.89He's definately an upgrade from what we have now. Lidle may or may not pan out. I hope he does of course, but i've got my doubts.My biggest problem with him, is that its left handed pitching that we need, and he's a righty. I find it hard to believe that there were no competent left handed pitchers that were available. Quote
