Re: Reds vs Astros 8/27/08

What happened to having too many outs at the bottom of the order? Patterson, Bako, and Fogg. I'm guessing Walt stopped listening to that crap?

Truth is, none of these three players should be with the club in any way shape or form. Two are Dusty proteges and the other the work of one Wayne Krivsky, who actually thought Fogg would be a decent fifth starter (even though he had three fifth starters on the team already). Three automatic outs on a team that is offensively challenged anyway. Against Oswalt.

For those who like pitching and defense, this game will the nightmare that can only happen when your offense puts you out of games like this before they begin. I can't wait.

Hey, Fogg is no hitting the Astro's, and we're beating Oswalt.

Josh Fogg vs Roy Oswalt. Sounds like a Reds win to me. Seriously. I'm calling a Reds win vs Oswalt tonight. If I'm wrong then Redszone can give me a wedgie.

Re: Reds vs Astros 8/27/08

Sigh. Running in to outs is bad, especially at home. Still looked like he may have been in under the tag.

What simply stupid (or over aggressive) base running.

And good ol' EE strolling in from home.

There goes the no-no. Only lasted an inning.

Fogg should have retired while he still had the perfect game going.
