Re: 9/10/2012 Pirates at Reds
This team is just asleep at the wheel.

Re: 9/10/2012 Pirates at Reds
The Braves may end up passing us in wins.

I think they just hit the curb, then a mailbox, and now a construction zone and still sleeping.

Re: 9/10/2012 Pirates at Reds
I think it's just a stretch that every team goes through... geesh. Still a playoff team, everyone chill out.

Re: 9/10/2012 Pirates at Reds
Reds hitters need to be patient because this umpire has such a small strike zone.
That was one disgusting half inning. |

Re: 9/10/2012 Pirates at Reds
yeah, I'm not overly concerned yet, but they do need to start looking like they can win in October again before it's too late.

Re: 9/10/2012 Pirates at Reds
You say that a little bit like it's disgraceful. The Braves have the fourth-most wins in baseball and are playing really well. They could still potentially catch up with the Nats too.

Re: 9/10/2012 Pirates at Reds
Do they think they have it all rapped up and can just coast home? Keep playing like this they may just open things back up.

As hot as Bruce is, Wandy seems to own him for his career.
