Reds Tidbits (2009 season)

[c-rowbuckeye]

Went to the game tonight, it was great seeing the place full and it was the loudest I've ever heard GABP (and I've been to an opening day), wonderful fan support tonight. And my entire section just started bawling when Harrang rounded second and was thrown out by 3 miles. It was a terrific game and I'm really glad we can play this well even with the majority of our infield still out.

A win tomorrow could get the Reds to .500 at home. The Big Road Machine could use it..

I've been waiting...but he's probably too busy watching Adam Dunn hit meaningless homers for a losing team in Washington to concentrate on the Reds.

Anyone watching this game?

Micha Owings hits a 2-3 pitch in the bottom of the ninth with two outs to tie the game. Going to inning 10.

[Buckeye Chris]

Cardinals have the lead again, Top of the 10th...

[DGADBTWSOM]

Let's Go Reds!!!!!

Damn, a sweep would have been nice.

I've seen enough June swoons from this piece of [censored] franchise to fall for anymore good April and May results.

Wake me up if they are still treading water at the ASB.

Freel traded back into the division. Becomes immediate non-factor with Cubs.

Cubs newcomer Ryan Freel 'devastated' he couldn't play Saturday -- chicagotribune.com

This is great news. I was really worried about how good the Cubs were becoming. Thankfully they're [censored]ing their lineup and team chemistry all to hell by adding guys like Freel and Milton Bradley.

Now he can be DL'ed for 60 days when he crashes head first into a brickwall rather than 15 for the padded wall.

A Cubs fan-friend of mine is hoping Freel is in Chitown long enough to take out Milton Bradley -- it'd make the trade worth it.

I agree...The pitching has been very good...Can it stay like that? Because we know the offense is going to struggle to score all season...

Good series tho agains the Cards...

awww...what's the matter? somebody replace your beer league softball team with baseball players?

that's ok. it happens. Oh, the Reds have scored as many runs to date this season as they did last season and their record is 8 games better...I know, I know...it has everything to do with the pitching and nothing to do with lazy fat-[censored] bumbs like Dunn being removed from the clubhouse. But I'll give you credit...you've stood by your anti-reds guns since the Taveras signing. Funny how that's worked out so far, ain't it? Oh, I know, I know...its only may and you've sat through...ONE June Swoon in the last 9 years...but, hey, don't let fact stand in the way of your grouchieness....seriously, go root for the Nationals...they cleary suck way more and they are in need of fans in DC.

This team has faced Bill Hall and won.

This team has faced Lance Berkman and won.

This team has faced Roy Oswalt twice and, uh ... handed Oswalt a ND.

This team has now faced Albert Pooholes for three straight games and kept him off base for two of them.

This team has faced a Pittsburgh Pirates left-handed junkballer and ... well [censored], I guess they did lose that one.

Anyway, now comes the real litmus test: The dreaded west coast road trip.

This is where the wheels come off every year, if we come out of this road trip still above .500 I will start to get excited.

[EDDIE GGGG27]

Arizona and San Diego have terrible offenses. Our pitching held its own against one of the best offenses in MLB in a hitters paradise. We should go at least 4-2 on this road trip
