Tying run is at the plate.

Meanwhile, the tying run is up.

Well, I've been here a long time too...maybe you are right. The game threads are fun and shouldn't be regulated. Just gets a little tiring when one or two seem to be overly sky is falling when one or two things negative occur.

I think all of us knew this team wasn't going to win 80% of our game the rest of the way.

This says it all for me. Well put.

[reds44]

Rolen continues to hit.

The middle of the Reds order should be pretty dang good if Ludwick and Rolen continue to hit when Votto is back

Votto
Phillips
Bruce
Rolen
Ludwick

That's a strong 3-7.

I would recommend ignoring those 1 or 2. What's actually worse is when posters start calling other's out and making an issue out of something that's not.

Be nice to have a lefty on the bench that could hit one out right about now.

Apparently Axford hopes actually taking a bath for once will stop him from sucking.

[Virginia Beach Reds]

Wow. K Rod is on a severe downturn. Falling off the mound, overthrowing many pitches. Boo'd off the field.

I guess the question is, what is so frustrating about a team with the best record in baseball?

I watch the games in a vacuum. Expectations are raised when they are doing this well so when I see Bruce looking like a middle schooler or Stubbs stare at 2 BBs down the middle and then flail at a slider in the dirt I get annoyed and will be more critical than in season when they suck hard and I don't expect them to play at a higher level.

In the end, I like to be more sarcastic than "sky is falling" though. The happy police is probably as annoying to this thread as the debbie downer ones.


ANYWAYS.... The Reds have definately looks more competent this inning so I'll save my sarcastic criticism until Cairo gets up.

[reds44]

Wow Paul for Hanigan?

[kbrake]

Wow Paul for Hanigan?

Hanigan was already out. Paul for Heisey.

[smith288]

Apparently Axford hopes actually taking a bath for once will stop him from sucking.

Axford looks like an ENTIRELY different dude.

[reds44]

Hanigan was already out. Paul for Heisey.

Then why didn't he just double switch Paul in to start with?

[smith288]

Hanny was double switched

[alloverjr]

Wow Paul for Hanigan?

Pitcher's spot

[Virginia Beach Reds]

Axford looks like an ENTIRELY different dude.

Quite a difference what a shower and a shave can make!
