McDonald made the Reds??? Wow. Good for him. Where did you see this. Their MLB site only has them with 23 guys on their active roster.

[byrdz]

Ponson is now the Royals 4th starter.

[BillySmith]

Good additions. Darnell McDonald, crazy. Got me to thinking about this guy:

Curtis Goodwin, last playing for a minor league team in Georgia in 2007!

And the Schaumberg Flyers of the Northern League just let Cal Pickering go:

What old Arthur gets no love or was that before "your time" Heather?

[DrungoHazewood]

McDonald made the Reds??? Wow. Good for him.

I was unaware that the Reds had an opening at halfback.

Well c'mon. Do you really think they can depend on Cedric Benson?

Good job by McDonald to stick with as long as he has.

Dusty is "old school"! :laughlol:

[HeatherC12]

What old Arthur gets no love or was that before "your time" Heather?

That was before my time. I know he's been with a few different clubs but I didn't realize he was with the O's too. Sorry I missed that one.

I am not happy that Cincy is getting snow on Opening Day. Doesn't Mother Nature realize this is a national holiday here?! LOL :laughlol: :cussing: :mwahaha:

[blueberryale77]

Ponson is now the Royals 4th starter.

The question is, will he pitch better than our fourth starter?
