6/22/2013 Reds at Dbacks....Game 2

[Blitz Dorsey]

And now Arizona will have a "Cuban Missile Crisis" on their hands. Good luck with all that!

How is everyone feeling!?

[Raisor]

See now y'all want to go to the after party. Too bad.

Btw....for those who declared the game over...1 day game-thread ban. :O)

I cussed. Does that count?

[RedsManRick]

You know those times when Bruce gets hot and carries the offense? Yeah, those are nice.

Also, thank you old school GM for thinking "proven closer" is a meaningful thing.

Boss is hiring those Heat security guards for this purpose specifically.

[Gizmo]

This sounds like a hell of a game to watch. Glad I get the Red Sox for the 4th straight Saturday.... At least now I don't have to flip to the hockey.

[OnBaseMachine]

My gosh when Jay Bruce gets hot, he goes all out.

[Tom Servo]

The fact this team can't beat good teams isn't a quirk anymore. They flat-out can't. They've been owned by the cards, pirates, braves, nats, Rockies and dbags. They've gotten fat on mass games vs cubs, brewers, marlins and mets.

Pitiful.

Thanks for stopping by, pal.

[_Sir_Charles_]

I didn't call that one...but I came close to doing it. *grin*

[Raisor]

Yes

[RedLegsToday]

Jay's last 7 hits have been homeruns

[alloverjr]

OK, in and out of this game but Corbin was just dominating. 104 pitches thru 8. Is that his limit? Is Heath Bell just another annointed "have to pitch the 9th with a lead" guy? If Corbin was done, I'm fine with it. But if it was only because it was a save situation, MLB managers need to re-evaluate I'd say.

Nice shot by Bruce, btw.

See now y'all want to go to the after party. Too bad.

Can I get a late invite?

[Ironman92]

When...When will they stop pitching Bruce there?

Phillips and Bruce were so much better than Choo and Votto
