BP Chacon is back!

Tonight is the highly anticipated rotation debut of the one and only BP Chacon. It took him until May 26th to crack the rotation again. The real question now is how long he'll last. July 1st? Probably longer than that. I'll go with August 1st.

There are positives to Chacon starting. Actually there's only one... the fact that he isn't Tony Armas. The fact that Armas is in the bullpen now is equally terrifying, but at least he won't be starting tonight. If you're counting at home, that means we've got a bullpen that now includes Armas, Jonah Bayliss, and Brian Rogers. Damaso Marte and John Grabow are among our better relievers at the moment. That is absolutely terrifying.

The Reds will start Bronson Arroyo tonight. I don't like him at all. He looks stupid and he talks way too much. He still holds a grudge against the Pirates for cutting him before the 2003 season. While it was pretty stupid to just let the guy go, let's not forget that he really sucked before we let him go. It's a stupid grudge to hold. If he stayed with the Pirates through the first six years of his career, he'd be nowhere near the pitcher he is today. If anything, he should be greatful to us for cutting him.
