[nux fan]

yeah it is fun to watch cairo and renteria and lewis very promising young prospects

[texasdave]

Two-out single. Ryan Howard to the plate.

[texasdave]

Utley is 13 for 13 in stolen bases. Howard flies out. No damage done.

[texasdave]

Is it just me or would anyone else like to see Halladay rocked for about 8 runs in the first inning?

[texasdave]

Looping liner for Phillips. Take that, Harry. LOL Halladay's first name is Harry. Harry Halladay.

[Spider Tre]

no no-hitter tonight, Doc

[texasdave]

Fly ball, Renteria. Joey Baseball vs. Doc Halliday. Nice. Doc falls behind 2-0. Halladay was skeered. Votto walks. Halladay falls behind Bruce 2-0.

[texasdave]

Bruce takes him deep but foul.

[Spider Tre]

Bruuu--dang it

[texasdave]

Bruce Ks. insert animal noise here

[texasdave]

Cairo up. He has had some big hits this year. But bounces to the mound.

[nux fan]

well cairo is young he has his whole career ahead of him It will be such fun to watch cairo develop as he neters his late forties

[texasdave]

Lewis is 1 for his last 15....err, good morning, good afternoon and good night...1 for his last 16. LOL. I can see why he is hitting ahead of Hanigan now.

Are you serious? You defend starting Fred Lewis and Cairo?

Look at every Reds Fans board & you can find and all of them are blowing up with Dusty hate.

He deserves it. He is sabataging this organization. This is an all out power struggle with Walt Jockerty that dates all the way back to spring training.

Somebody has to go. Either Dusty or Walt. If I were Walt I would frame it just that way. "Bob, it's either me or him"

Dusty Baker has disrespected Bob, Walt and the City of Cincinnati with his agenda that clearly dictates that loyalty to a chosen few supercedes all else.

He is an embarrasment to the City, the organization and a shameful example of an egomaniacle bastard whose sole intent is to nuture loyalties, not mentor progress.

He would rather destroy the confidence of young players than to admit that he should sacrifice his meaningless run at a .500 record.

Never in my 40 years of following this sport have I seen a more pathetic manager in every aspect of the game.

F-

Utter complete & total failure.

Epic fail.

I am all for Dusty being fired...but come on how has he disrepected anyone? Why is it players love him? Again Dusty is not a good manager, but he is a great people person and loyal, and that is not a bad thing.

[texasdave]

Lots of goose eggs on the scoreboard.
