Reds offense missing in action today?
Hey is travis wood throwing a no hitter? As far as i can tell he has not given up a hit which would make this a no hitter in progress!
So far, thru 4 innings, Travis Wood is throwing a NO HITTER and a SHUT OUT against the Reds.
[Jinx]
Does it work if it's a fan of the other team that mentions it?
Still wondering what possessed Baker, a manager consumed with "splitting up the lefties" to bunch them up -- against a lefty.
Against a righty, no problem, would fully support it, the Cubs did it today, five lefties in a row against Leake.
Why suddenly did the Reds bunch their lefties against a lefty? I guess it doesn't matter if the team gets no hits, but just strikes me as a really odd move.
Travis Wood is throwing a no-hitter. I'm surprised the Reds still don't have a hit. When was the last time the Reds got no-hit? Has Travis Wood ever thrown a no-hitter? A no-hitter is pretty rare.
Is that enough? No?
No-hitter, no-hitter, no-hitter, no-hitter, no-hitter, no-hitter, no-hitter, no-hitter, no-hitter, no-hitter...that aught'a do it. :O)
I'm tellin ya, after the game Dusty is going to say "I told you so." This is a win-win for him. If the lineup works Dusty will take credit, if the lineup doesn't work Dusty will say "And THAT, ladies and gentlemen is why you don't bunch lefties!"Quote:

Takes a walk, instead, but it's not like Wood had a perfect game anyway. Come on, let's do some damage!
No hitter alert, no hitter alert...
Odd to see all those empty rows in the lower deck of Wrigley. Dude retrieved the long foul ball without much competition.
Time for Mes to run into one.
Bad 2-0 swing there from Mes on a high ball 3...
I probably hate Cubs fans as much as most here, but I love Wrigley. I love the ivy, I love the bleachers and I especially love the bullpens being right there by the fans along the lines. Yes, it may be dirty and the fans are obnoxious...but it's still a fun place to sit and watch a game on a sunny afternoon.
Let's see if Mr. Automatic Out can get on base with luck or something.
Should take the next two pitches here.
