Awful check swing strike.

3-2 count....foul. ball (no check swing call this time).

Bags juiced. B. Phillips up.

I just want to say that Joey Votto is LeBron James on a team full of Larry Hugheses and Damon Joneses.

[OHSportsFan9]

Sorry, B. Phillips fans, but that guy gets a little too 'jacked' up when the big moments are on him.*

Almost fell over trying to swing out of his shoes.




*Probably a bit of hyperbole. I've seen him have his share of walk-off/big hits. Still, that was a bad at-bat. Tried way too hard to win the game with one swing and be the hero, though I guess it's better him than anyone else [censored] it up.

[jlb1705]

The Reds [censored] away a game just like this every year against the Cards - and it's usually the start of a 4+ month freefall.

The Buckeyes kick off 9 weeks, 13 hours and 31 minutes from now

Best thing anyone has posted in the Reds thread yet this year.

That was a terrible job of managing tonight. Bring in soft tossing Weathers vs Pujols who is 9-18 against him? And how the hell do you justify pitching to Albert in in the 9th,then IBB .238 hitting Ludwick?

I can justify it easily. The manager is a [censored]ing retard. What do you expect a retard to do, get it right? Thats why they call them retards, they [censored] [censored] up.

I don't blame stupid people for being stupid. I blame the sonofabitch who hired them.

[Bucky Katt]

JFC. Reds doing everything they can not to score a run and the Cards just give it to them.

[Bucky Katt]

And the dip[censored]s give one right back. It's like watching a little league team sometimes.

Bronson Arroyo singing God Bless America was BRUTAL.

William Hung is a better singer than him.

Good read on Votto

Washington Twp. residents helped Votto on his road back

[Jaxbuck]

Guy over at RZ put together a list at the half way point for the worst players in the NL as far as Runs Created with a minimum 100 AB's.

Least Productive Players by Position (Min: 100 AB)
POS TM PLAYER RC/600

C WAS Wil Nieves 35
MIL Jason Kendall 42

1B ARI Chad Tracy 57
SFO Travis Ishikawa 69

2B CHC Aaron Miles 35
SDP Edgar Gonzalez 49

SS CIN Alex Gonzalez 40
SFO Emmanuel Burris 44

3B CIN Adam Rosales 37
FLA Wes Helms 45

LF ARI Eric Byrnes 52
NYM Fernando Tatis 56

CF MIL Jody Gerut 45
CIN Willy Taveras 48

RF SDP Brian Giles 41
WAS Austin Kearns 48

*Janish is a run worse than Gonzales but only has 73 AB's so he didn't qualify.

Also, this should drive H&G nuts, Dunn becomes the 5th youngest player in MLB history to 300 HR's.

Washington Nationals' Adam Dunn fifth-fastest to reach 300-HR plateau - ESPN

His company:

The 29-year-old is the fifth player major league history to reach that total in less than 4,200 at-bats, succeeding in his 4,145th at-bat. The others are Babe Ruth (3,830), Mark McGwire (3,837), Ralph Kiner (3,883) and Harmon Killebrew (3,928

Yep no need for a player like that on our team. Good riddance.
