Reds vs Cardinals...Game 1 8/24

I guess we should just be thankful for the good pitching Simon gave us for a few months....because he is awful now.

He has the stuff. It was a bad inning, it happens.

We'd really mess with the Cardinals' heads if we came back to win this game and push them further down in the standings.

If you haven't done it by now, a few steps to the kitchen...down two, and return, and the rest of the game might be more enjoyable.

aint gonna happen.

The heart of our order will be batting two more times this game. We will score several more runs.

Please tell me you aren't the same person that was asking me for lottery numbers because I presumed something far more likely than what you just posted.

Latos hesitating forced the next 6 runners to reach?

They still hit it where it was pitched.

10 will win it....we need 5 and getting that last guy out was crucial, lord why was he a long guy?

They are patient and hit it where it's pitched...they've been there.

Latos was very good for 5 and not good in the 6th.

Tough not to criticize the pitcher when the combined distance of 2 of the 3 balls he pitched to said batter were hit a combined 850 feet. I know the Cards have a good offensive lineup but this is not Murderer's Row. Latos lost his mind this inning. He was probably still pouting from that strikeout and he came out mentally unprepared. After allowing Beltran to reach he checked out.

God why are we swinging at crap.
