7/30/09 - Reds vs Padres

[VR]

For those listening or not listening on the radio, Thom just invited all listeners to email the Reds booth if they had a boat that the Cowboy could borrow this weekend. So I emailed the following:

"Mr. Walt Jocketty has a boat for you! It's called the Titanic. However, he plans on shuffling the deck chairs on the Titanic as it sinks."

He then said on the air, I have a great email that unfortunately I can not read it on the air. So I emailed again and asked if it was my email that he couldn't read on the air, and he confirmed that it was.

Nice to know that Thom is as fed up with this crap as we are.

Nicely done Homer!

Look out now...the Reds are putting a 9th inning hurtin on the Pads.

The Reds lineup just went Nix, Tatum, Sutton, Jairston, and Janish.

Just read that sentence.

I'm 13 again, Cal Ripken's consecutive games streak begins, the Falklands War is raging and "Bette Davis Eyes" tops the charts. Yep, smells like 1982.

Pffft, take that Padres. 7-4 now.

Reds are primed to grab defeat from the jaws of defeat.

So if Rosales can be a .285-300 hitter next year with some coaching do you keep him around to be a super sub? He can't be that bad to hit over .400 AAA and then lose it when he gets here

[LoganBuck]

They couldn't get the corpses of the real 27 Yankees out.

Another stat-padding late inning rally. Yummy!

German Barranca just hit a 3 run jack.

That kid's goin' places.

The Pad's winning pitcher Wednesday night was in single-A at the beginning of the season. Look what he did to our lineup.

That is very telling as to the status of this current team.

I really hope this '09 squad hits the bottom as far as they can go, and never win another game. That's how frustrated I am.

But I don't think that would even wake this FO up.

I'm with you, GAC. But there will always be those apologists who will cite how we're missing big cogs (Bruce, Hernandez, Volquez, and even Owings and Hanigan--look at their stats. Only Hanigan and Volquez were making any difference and not much at that) right along with the FO. This team cannot hit and never will. Nothing like putting pressure on a pitching staff like that--especially a young one.
