6.10.13 Reds @ Cubs

[Tom Servo]

I wish the fog would come back. It was like watching a game being played in Silent Hill.

I agree, bring back the fog.

I agree, bring back the fog.

It all got sent over to the south side and the White Sox, where they're still delayed.

[BluegrassRedleg]

This is the first time it looks like a color broadcast.

Yes, the alternate reality is nice, breaks up the monotony.

[RedsBrick]

Hey, Alfonso, you're not getting a strike. Thanks for swinging anyway.

[Kc61]

Bailey at 81 pitches in the sixth ahead 5-0, man on second, two outs.

Pitch count important tonight, don't want to use much bullpen.

Cubs score when Phillips tries a great barehand play. Error on the throw and it's 5-1.

[Tom Servo]

that was cubs-esque

[ProfessorTofty]

And the Cubs have their first run on a base hit.

[New York Red]

Sometimes on Redszone, people get challenged. Those incapable of defending their position usually resort to personal attacks, some sort of conversation deflection or general lameness.

Those who engage enrich not only the participants but the entire forum.

Sorry, but I don't see how arguing a topic to death for multiple pages is doing anything to enrich the forum, nor is the condescending tone some RZers use. What's wrong with giving an opinion and stopping there? You're not changing my opinion and I'm not trying to change yours. My opinion is actually somewhere in the middle, but having a little fun on this site is apparently taboo.

brandon should have held on to it. don't know if bailey had time to back that play up or not.

[Kc61]

And the Cubs have their first run on a base hit.

And an error. In retrospect, BP should have just ate that one, but it's not his nature to do that.

Navarro up. 85 pitches for Homer.

2-2 count, disputed strike call against Navarro.

Now full, 87 pitches. No need to talk bullpen, not happening this early.

Strike three call. 5-1, run unearned.

[RedsManRick]

I know this is Cubs, but Bailey is really working it tonight. He's showing excellent command and his stuff is moving all over the place.

I don't see the condescending tone.

I do see the rude tune though.

That's fine if you want to make a blog and turn the comments off. Please do so.

It's the baiting and then acting offended when challenged that we need less of.

Still three innings to go for him, needs to keep the pitch count low. Bullpen is all beat up.

Hannahan grounds to the GG winner Darwin Barney who makes a fantastically routine play, one out.

Now it's Hanigan who, the Reds say, is beat up with bumps and bruises. Give him more rest, I say, let Mes have some games.

0-2 on Ryan now, righty reliever for the Cubs. Ryan bounces to first.

Pitcher up now, so it looks like a quick inning for the Reds. Nothing across.

Nothing on the internet could ever offend me. My original reply was to BluegrassRedleg, and it was in fun. Then others jumped in because they can't stand anyone not following the RZ company line. As for "being challenged", I don't see it that way at all. It's an internet message board, not arm wrestling. Sheesh, I bet some of you guys haven't laughed in years.
