Reds Tidbits (2011 Season)

1-2-3 for Bray. People were speculating that it would be Chapman or maybe Willis that would fill Arthur Rhodes' role from last year. Bray might be turning into that guy though. He's been solid.

Top of the 9th coming up... Stubbs-Phillips-Votto. Boggs stays on to try to close it out for the Cards.

I watched the first couple inning and to no ones surprise the schmuck we pull out of the pen gets slapped around, the schmuck they pull out does a Sandy Koufax impersonation. Went to sleep after 3 firm in my knowledge it would be an L.

The dickheads at RZ don't want to hear this but that slightly better than 500 record vs the easy part of the schedule was indeed something to worry about because this band of fucktards has a demonstrated track record of being incapable of beating good teams. I say 2-4 at best on this road trip and 3 games out by the end of April if they are lucky, 5 if they really cave in.

5 games out is the magic number to me. Once they break that barrier there is no coming back. Unfortunately the business side of it will kick in, they won't sell who they should because they'll be within 10 games of the WC (with every other fucking team in the NL) and it will be yet another lost season.

They have parts, they need to assemble it into a complete team and the biggest issue I see is they have zero internal candidates for the TOR pitcher(s) we need. Ultimately when cost is factored in if they don't grow one they aren't ever going to get one.

I'd be willing to bet Brady Hoke's life they lose today.

might end up being a good thing, but pissed I won't be able to watch the game, get the freakin Braves/Giants on fox here, and because it's on fox it's blacked out on mlb.tv, thanks assholes

Get ready for a constant barrage of regional fuckings like that if you are new to living/watching sports in the south.

BTW the Braves and Criminoles do the same arm choppy/"I'm an asshole" identifier thing so it makes perfect marketing sense.
