[Joseph]

3-0 Phils, Top of the first, one down.

[KronoRed]

Harang doing a Milton?

[Joseph]

No no, just doubles, not homers

[Joseph]

1-2-3 bottom of the inning. End of 1, 3-0 Phillies

[Reds Fanatic]

The game is on ESPN in the local area.

[M2]

The game threads over the past three days have been moribund. I submit the news of DanO's pending return has knocked the wind out of Redszone.

[Joseph]

I'd agree with that M2, it's like we know there's not much hope for next year with him back.

Yes. It sure ruined my week.

It's hard to be interested when you know that they are not even going to attempt to improve things and correct what's wrong.

It's also real inspiring to see a lineup of Jacob Cruz at first, Rey Olmedo at second, Aurilia at third and no WMP or EdE on a Friday night.

The 3 runs in the first may just stand up.

These gamethreads were dead before the DanO announcement. It is the end of the season, the time for these types of threads are over.

Thank you! I didn't realize that!

On 9/20 we were still averaging well over 100 posts and close 1,500 page views per game thread. Sure things were slower than earlier in the season, but it was still an active thread day in and day out.

It wasn't until the DanO announcement two days ago that the game threads keeled over.

[Doc. Scott]

Kearns doubles for the Reds' first baserunner.

[Joseph]

Kearns dbls, Ray-Ray moves him over, Harang RBI GO.

3-1 Phils.

Prove it, you are just giving opinions that also could be all timing. It is the end of the season, these threads just die. Actually, I could just as much say that the decline started with the Astro sweep and has gone on since then.
