9/27/2013 Reds vs Pirates

[Red in Chicago]

The catcher position offensively this year has been a serious problem. It needs to be corrected.

at least in prior years, hanigan's obp was a bonus. now it's just pitiful.

I don't think it's the fan's fault at all. I just think its distasteful to boo. Just don't go if you're going to boo.

I'm not as serious about the booing, cheering, hair-on-fire, Luddy stuff as some of you. It's a game. it's entertainment. it's inspiration, a welcome distraction and wonderful metaphor for so much in life.

Love the team. So want them to win. And win big. Crestfallen when they lose big games...for awhile...usually short. Believe they're doing their best and that some luck plays a big part in this game.

Boo, cheer, scream, be siient. You buy the ticket, it's your choice. Just cool in my book that you're there if you're able. Or watching if not. Or reading the recap next morning. Whatever you can do.

I'm guessing that's how Teddy would see it if asked. I think it's a good way to think about it.

Sure, theoretically. If they weren't facing us on Tuesday. I really think their season ends Tuesday. And they'll feel good about that with some weeks to mull it over since they haven't made postseason in so long. If I didn't believe that, I wouldn't consider shelling out time and $ to attend that game on Tuesday.

Problem is that, by and large, they're VETERANS.

Not making the playoffs in 25 years may not mean anything.

I really think the Reds lose to Liriano in Pittsburgh.

This is the money inning. Show some life home team!

[jojo]

what was that guy doing.. a Reds fan gets out of the way.. goodness..i was at a Reds game in the 70;s, the first batter hit a fly ball down the RF line.. it was headed for me.. i was seating right next to the wall, i saw Griffey Sr coming i backed out of the way and let him catch it..

Back in Dusty's day, fans were embarrassed to get in the way.

Totally your right. Given that view though, and despite your location, we won't be car-pooling Tuesday.

I know we both hope they prove you wrong.

Come on Choo! Take one for the team

[Falcon7]

Take one for the team Choo.

Take one for the team Choo.

The one I'd most like to see him take for the team is a bit of a haircut on the salary demand.

I can't understand why anyone would think otherwise?

This is the second consecutive time Burnett has steam-rolled us. Yet another reason to be optimistic about Tuesday as I remain convinced he'd be the Bucs' best chance to beat us in the playin.

[Falcon7]

Good hang time Luddy.

Biggest reason being the Reds have a better baseball team.

[Red in Chicago]

i can't believe they have managed 5 hits tonight. there have been so many weak at bats.
