Reds @ Cardinals 6/7 - 6/9

[HammerDown]

Brantley tends to bite his tongue a little on the criticism. I suppose that's all right. No point in both him and Marty being pissed off all the time.

It's noticeable. I assumed it's because he played for the Cards too and doesn't want to burn any bridges.

A video my Brother made,Just to spice things up a bit.

No kidding! I've watched that video before. I remember it because of the clip with that whiny little prick Colby Rasmus bitching about Bronson Arroyo.

Yep my brother made the vid, He did a pretty good job, and yea Rasmus was a prick and still is lol.

I suppose we will have to see the "brawl" when Yadi comes up, or when somebody mentions Cueto or LaRue or obviously when Phillips comes up. At least Saturday, I will be at the ballpark and can finally decide to watch THIS year's games, instead of some shit that happened three years ago.

Geez ... can we just ... stop with this childish shit?

I'll stop talking about it when someone punches Yadi. Not until then.

Some guy took him out last year in a play at the plate.
I think some WLB fans were not happy about it.
Of course, even their fans whine a lot.

I won't say Molina isn't a big, tough sumbitch but I will say that about Buster Posey.

I'm so sick of pansy-ass catchers (read: Buster Poser). To rephrase Jack Lambert's favorite quote "What are they going to do next? Stick skirts on these catchers?" Play the damned game. No one's twisting your arm to play the position and no one ever heard Johnny Bench bitch about covering the plate. His GM didn't come out and wish physical harm to guys who collided with him at the plate and his manager never campaigned for his "rights."

Sorry, that's for a whole other thread...

I'm positively giddy as a little girl for the first pitch. The adult beverages are cold. Very cold! Let's do this...

 

[HammerDown]

It took Cardinals fans all of five pitches to start booing strikes.

I wonder what flavor of juice Beltran likes? The same flavor as Bonds and Pujols I think.

 

[HammerDown]

Do you guys use these? I think it's pretty slick if you love the numbers of baseball.

What we could have off and on is for Cozart to actually produce in a scoring situation.
Imagine having Votto and BP coming up with 2 men on base.
Ah, never mind.
Cardinals know how to accomplish that.

 

[HammerDown]

Dammit, the wheels are coming off already. Dusty looked like he was going to hurt the bat rack just then.

 

[JohnU]

So the Reds get a 3-run lead in the first inning and by the 5th, they are getting shelled.
Wainwright gets a 3-run lead in the 4th inning and he's only thrown 58 pitches.

 

[JohnU]

The odds of winning this game are almost zero.

 

[JohnU]

All I intend to do is bitch about this and that's really not helping me. I am turning off this game and turning on the RailCats, who have exactly ONE home run in 19 games this year.

 

[HammerDown]

The odds of winning this game are almost zero.

Based on who is pitching right now, no doubt about it.

 

[JohnU]

I am back to see we've bashed out two hits.
That ought to get us to post-season.
I have officially shut off this game. Enjoy as you will.
Dusty's braintrust will come up with something.

 

[HammerDown]

6-0

Good night!

When are we going to start walking the 8 hitter with 1b open and 2 RISP, so the pitcher can hit an inning ending DP instead if allowing a 3 run add on ? Didn't Dusty miss this kindergarden mistake just last week ? Never mind losing game 5 of the '12 NLDS the same way...LAST WEEK. Yes, I know it would have still been 4-0... but now, it's 7-0. Dusty knows how to dig a hole. Should have been a gravedigger. He could bury his mistakes then.
