Lohse Traded To Phillies For Retired NBA Player

The Reds said so long to Kyle Lohse and his little goatee today. He was shipped to the Phillies for what appears to be a moderate prospect, Matt Maloney. The author remembers him as the white guy who used to play for the Houston Rockets when they were winning titles with Glyde and the Dream. And if memory serves, even after he was past his prime he could still bust in NBA Live. So, if anyone was wondering whether the author could possibly be any nerdier, there you go.

Actually, this Matt Maloney is a little taller than the NBA superstar but doesn't throw all that hard. He's labeled as a trickster, a no good trickster, by the scouting reports I've read. The author can't even count the number of times he's heard Dr. Tiffee talk about how he loves to see a big guy tossing salad. Looks like he's in luck. While the Reds Rocket will miss Lohse's consistency, it was probably his time to get the hell out of here. The author welcomes Maloney's future arm problems.
