[KronoRed]

Good to see Wily Mo

Aurilia :(

When do Casey and JR get a day off?

[Raisor]

I like WMP in the 4-spot. I'd like Casey much better flipped with Dunn

[redsfan30]

No Rolen!

:beerme:

Now if we could just get rid of Pujols, Edmonds, Sanders, Walker....

[RosieRed]

Still no Lopez. Hmm.

[KronoRed]

Avatars! :D

This is a good luck charm

[Raisor]

Still no Lopez. Hmm.

Lopez needs to start hiding in Miley's backyard with a camera and hope that Gapper comes over for some backrubs or something. It's the only way he's getting into the lineup regularly.

[SirFelixCat]

Go get'em boys. Show some fire tonight and pray that fire isn't fueled by Milton ;)

[oneupper]

Miley: No me gusta Felipe!

[SirFelixCat]

Would also prefer Dunn and Casey to swap spots, and WMP in CF and Ears in right, not to mention Lopez at SS, but well, baby steps right? :/ Just find a way and win tonight fellas. The fans need this one.

[paintmered]

Go get'em boys. Show some fire tonight and pray that fire isn't fueled by Milton ;)

Good to see you back here SC :)

[RosieRed]

Good to see you back here SC :)

I second that. :)

[Candy Cummings]

Let's hope we can break out of this funk. We're in mid-season form right now, but without the good start we had last year.

[KronoRed]

Thirded SC :wave:

[RosieRed]

I feel for the people attending the game. It is cold and windy out there tonight. Brrr!

[Fullboat]

I feel for the people attending the game. It is cold and windy out there tonight. Brrr!

Hope its blowing in. :D

[Falls City Beer]

Honest question here: will you feel better if the Reds sweep this series? Will that change your opinion? I only ask because I have no hope that even a sweep of the Cards in this series will make a bit of difference. But I'm curious about your opinion.

[RosieRed]

Hope its blowing in. :D

14mph out to left field, per Gameday.

[paintmered]

I hope the fans in the bleachers are wearing body armor.

[Fullboat]

Oh Boy.

[RosieRed]

Honest question here: will you feel better if the Reds sweep this series? Will that change your opinion? I only ask because I have no hope that even a sweep of the Cards in this series will make a bit of difference. But I'm curious about your opinion.

It won't much change my overall opinion of the team, but it sure would be nice to see anyway. :devil:

[GoReds]

Honest question here: will you feel better if the Reds sweep this series? Will that change your opinion? I only ask because I have no hope that even a sweep of the Cards in this series will make a bit of difference. But I'm curious about your opinion.

I had an '79(?) Chevette that I bought for $150 back in 1991. Ran pretty good for about a year or so. Was thinking how great it was running, when all of the sudden I saw parts bouncing down the road behind me.

In other words, probably not. I might change my outlook a bit if they totally shut down the Cards (allowing only a run or two in all games and K'ing Jim Edmonds at every turn), but otherwise not.

They could still be a lot of fun to watch if the offense gets going, but the pitching is still looking like a Chevette.

[TeamCasey]

Am I here?

[KronoRed]

Am I here?

Are you? :D

[Larkin411]

Honest question here: will you feel better if the Reds sweep this series? Will that change your opinion? I only ask because I have no hope that even a sweep of the Cards in this series will make a bit of difference. But I'm curious about your opinion.


This makes me think of something Bill James said about being a fan of the Royals(from an article WOY posted), where he just watches each game for itself and tries not to think about the ones before or after. I sort of feel that way about the Reds these days. I know they'd be lucky to finish third and so I just focus on individual games and players rather than hoping for a post-season.

[letsgojunior]

I'm feeling much better about things now that my Chris Cornell animated avatar is back. I think we're getting a win tonight as a result.

[RosieRed]

We have rep power? :eek:

[KronoRed]

The GO Reds Guy will lead us to victory ;)

[GoReds]

<delete> @%#@$%@#% computer repost.

[Reds Fanatic]

Eckstein leads off with a single

[letsgojunior]

Rosie I just approved your post.;) Threadies stick together.

[RosieRed]

Thanks LGJ :lol: :)

[GoReds]

Whoa. How did Krono get a 30 rep? 30 is bad, right?

:evil:

[letsgojunior]

What does it mean that I have a rep of 10?

Does that mean 10 people think I'm a moron?

[Reds Fanatic]

Taguchi strikes out swinging. 1 out.

[westofyou]

George Grande... Cardinal Fan...Let's ya know whenever he can.

[RosieRed]

What's this new icon under our "rep power"?

[KronoRed]

Whoa. How did Krono get a 30 rep? 30 is bad, right?

:evil:

I don't think I approve of your post :devil:

[Reds Fanatic]

Pujols flies out to right. 2 outs.

[KronoRed]

I just approved everyone on this pages posts

Am I doing this wrong? :D

[Raisor]

We are about 10 minutes into the game, Milton has NOT given up a home run yet.

Updates as they become available.

[RosieRed]

Scoreless inning! :party:

[wheels]

One inning down for Milton.

[Reds Fanatic]

Sanders fouls out to first. Inning over.

[letsgojunior]

We are about 10 minutes into the game, Milton has NOT given up a home run yet.

Updates as they become available.

Yeah as someone stated before the people in the OF stands should be wearing body armor.

PS Raisor I approve of this post.

[paintmered]

The way I understand it is:

Your Rep Power is how much weight you have when you rate another post. I have 6, Krono has 30. I would have to rate a poster 5 times to equal the power Krono has with one rating.

[realreds1]

Yeah as someone stated before the people in the OF stands should be wearing body armor.

Especially with Wily Mo back in the line-up!

[Raisor]

PS Raisor I approve of this post.

"PS" are my first and middle innitials by the way.

They stand for PURELY SEXY!

[RosieRed]

The way I understand it is:

Your Rep Power is how much weight you have when you rate another post. I have 6, Krono has 30. I would have to rate a poster 5 times to equal the power Krono has with one rating.

That is hilarious!

[realreds1]

The way I understand it is:

Your Rep Power is how much weight you have when you rate another post. I have 6, Krono has 30. I would have to rate a poster 5 times to equal the power Krono has with one rating.

I would need 5 of you to equal the power of one Krono!

Are we playing Yu-Gi-Oh?

[GoReds]

Okay, so I was outside grillin' chicken and asked the chicken gods not to allow a HR while Milton is pitching tonight.

So far, so good. May have to go out and lay bbq sauce on the birds to improve the sacrifice and keep the mojo goin'.

[Reds Fanatic]

Jimenez grounds out as Grudzielanek makes a diving stop

[wheels]

Anyone see the peice ESPN did on Griffey this evening?

[Reds Fanatic]

Junior grounds out to the pitcher. 2 out.

[Raisor]

Junior didn't just bunt did he?

[MWM]

It's now officially a game thread now that SC has joined us. Welcome back, buddy.

[KronoRed]

The way I understand it is:

Your Rep Power is how much weight you have when you rate another post. I have 6, Krono has 30. I would have to rate a poster 5 times to equal the power Krono has with one rating.

I think I need to take a class to understand this :help:

We should be able to get to Carpender

[paintmered]

I would need 5 of you to equal the power of one Krono!

Are we playing Yu-Gi-Oh?

Assuming the rep power is linear, then yeah.

And I'm a moderator. How does this work? :laugh:

[Reds Fanatic]

Casey singles to center.

[RosieRed]

Junior didn't just bunt did he?

I believe he did.

:confused:

Did they have the shift on?

[letsgojunior]

How are these rep powers assigned? This is like post approval for astrophysicists.;)

[realreds1]

WoW! You can out-Yu-Gi-Oh all of us! You're one of those special cards that only come in a few select packs!

[wheels]

Don't tell anyone, but Casey's starting to hit liners instead of grounders.

[wheels]

Chris Carpenter throws harder than I thought.

[paintmered]

I think it is a function of your post count (which is why Krono starts with a massive lead) and your reputation points (which you can check by clicking on your rep button).

[wheels]

I think it is a function of your post count (which is why Krono starts with a massive lead) and your reputation points (which you can check by licking on your rep button).

How many points do we start out with?

[KronoRed]

Wily Mo K's..bummer

[Reds Fanatic]

Pena strikes out looking. 0-0 after 1.

[RosieRed]

I think it is a function of your post count (which is why Krono starts with a massive lead) and your reputation points (which you can check by clicking on your rep button).

I'd really rather not lick anything on here.

;)

[paintmered]

How many points do we start out with?

I think I started with 10.

[KronoRed]

You have given out too much Reputation in the last 24 hours, try again later.


Whoops :D

[wheels]

So check this out....

I went out and bought a cable splitter so I can post here and watch the game up in my office at the same time.

My girlfriend thinks I'm a dork.

[letsgojunior]

So how many points do you get each time someone approves of your posts?

[Reds Nd2]

I think I started with 10.

Your down to 6 now. You may not finish tonights game at this rate. ;)

[westofyou]

So check this out....

I went out and bought a cable splitter so I can post here and watch the game up in my office at the same time.

My girlfriend thinks I'm a dork.

I have a 50 foot cable running from upstairs to my office in the basement.

When I did it my wife thought I too was a dork.

[Raisor]

My girlfriend thinks I'm a dork.

Your girlfriend is pretty smart. :evil:

[RosieRed]

You have given out too much Reputation in the last 24 hours, try again later.


Whoops :D

:laugh: :bowrofl: :laugh:

[realreds1]

My girlfriend thinks I'm a dork.

Well, come on over, we'll Yu-Gi-Oh together.

[KronoRed]

So how many points do you get each time someone approves of your posts?

I think it depends on how many they have

We need this added to the FAQ

[Reds Fanatic]

Edmonds strikes out swinging. 1 out.

[smith288]

So check this out....

I went out and bought a cable splitter so I can post here and watch the game up in my office at the same time.

My girlfriend thinks I'm a dork. I do the same thing....I have a TV Card. :D

[westofyou]

Seriously doth George love anyone as much as he love the Cardinals?

I bet he writes them love poems during the off-season.

[MWM]

I think I started with 10.

Then how in the heck can you be down to 6? I think you probably started with 5. Afterall, only those on this forum can vote, so I don't think anyone has given you negative votes.

[Raisor]

Seriously doth George love anyone as much as he love the Cardinals?

I bet he writes them love poems during the off-season.

I'm thinking about Elvis-ing my tv.

[realreds1]

What did Grande say about Edmonds striking out?

[wheels]

Seriously doth George love anyone as much as he love the Cardinals?

I bet he writes them love poems during the off-season.

I just found out that the Cardinals know how to play the game.

[paintmered]

Your down to 6 now. You may not finish tonights game at this rate. ;)

No, you are looking at my Rep Power.

Rep Power is different than Reputation points. Rep Power is how much weight you have when you rate a post. The more reputation points you get, the higher your rep power will be.

[RosieRed]

Seriously doth George love anyone as much as he love the Cardinals?

I bet he writes them love poems during the off-season.

I'm glad I'm getting Steve and Joe on the radio. Much, much better, IMO.

[Reds Fanatic]

Grudzielanek strikes out swinging. 2 outs.

[westofyou]

Mabry has a good strat card, but it's RH heavy.

I predict an out.

[MWM]

I just found out that the Cardinals know how to play the game.

They "know how to win."

[Reds Fanatic]

Mabry walks

[westofyou]

Ahh I forgot about the picthers weakness.

Mabry walks.

[RosieRed]

They "know how to win."

Except when they play the Red Sox in the WS. What a shame. ;)

[ochre]

They "know how to win."
is that a rate stat, or counting?

[MWM]

Except when they play the Red Sox in the WS. What a shame. ;)

So says our resident baseball man (tm).

[smith288]

No, you are looking at my Rep Power.

Rep Power is different than Reputation points. Rep Power is how much weight you have when you rate a post. The more reputation points you get, the higher your rep power will be. Geesh...dont mess with RosieRed! Rep power of 11!! "This goes to eleven..."

[Raisor]

Three Molina brothers?

Matty, Jesus, and Felipe?

[KronoRed]

Milton doing well

SO far ;)

[ochre]

Ahh I forgot about the picthers weakness.

You are qualified to work for the Reds now :)

[Reds Fanatic]

Molina flies out to right. 0-0 middle of the 2nd.

[smith288]

Milton doing well

SO far ;) Now you have done it....had to say something didnt you??? ;)

[Raisor]

Your Eric Milton Home Run Update:

2IP, 0 HR allowed.

Thank You

[RFS62]

Mabry has a good strat card, but it's RH heavy.

I predict an out.

You talkin' about Strat O Matic?

[wheels]

Milton is cruising...

It looks like he's taking a little off his fastball tonight, and I think I may have detected a little bit of (dare I say!) movement.

Could this be an interesting development?

Or am I reaching a bit?

[RosieRed]

Geesh...dont mess with RosieRed! Rep power of 11!! "This goes to eleven..."

I think it's more like "Don't mess with Krono" ... and his rep power of 30! :eek: ;)

[ochre]

It seems that each rep point is equal to 300 or so posts.

That's just a rough guess from looking at the various post totals and rep power.

[Falls City Beer]

Milton two shutout innings?

Sign 'em long term!! What? Is this thing on?

[RosieRed]

Reds Fanatic, thanks for the PBP. :)

[wheels]

We're gonna need to come up with a sabermetric approach to this whole rating system.

[MWM]

Sign 'em long term!!

You lose a rep point just for suggesting that. :evil:

[wheels]

That wind had to have kept that one in the park.

I hate this weather.

[Reds Fanatic]

Dunn hits a very high fly ball to the warning track in right. 1 out.

[westofyou]

You talkin' about Strat O Matic?
Correct

Corraled into a league this year by Chili and M2

Fyi Folks the 5th place hitter leads off more innings than any other player on average except the leadoff guy.

Dunn flys out, no man on third keeps him from stopping sac fly outage.

[KronoRed]

Now you have done it....had to say something didnt you??? ;)

Carpender is the best!



Does that help? :D

[Reds Fanatic]

Randa lines out right to the pitcher. 2 outs.

[smith288]

Crappola! Right on the screws and right in Carpenters glove.

[ochre]

It seems that each rep point is equal to 300 or so posts.

That's just a rough guess from looking at the various post totals and rep power.
disregard. Probably not linear as higher post counts need cost more posts per power rating

[Reds Fanatic]

Aurilia grounds out to third. 0-0 after 2.

[paintmered]

It doesn't appear to be completely linear.

I also think that the mods get a few bonus points because I have a higher rep power than some posters with higher post counts.

[smith288]

Carpenter is looking like Cy Young... Mowin' them down like the schmucks the Reds are



...


This is entirely an anti-jinx effort so dont slam my reputation...plus, look at my title... im reputable.

[realreds1]

I bet he writes them love poems during the off-season.



"Ode to Jim Edmonds"

Thou art as splashy in cardinal red as the day is long.
From whence thou runneth from your centerfield position,
Gracefully, leaping majestically, diving fruitfully,
For the sagging line drive of glorious life.

Slashing thou baseball, like the lumberjack in the forest
Penetrates the majestic wood. With a mighty swing,
Thee Jim Edmonds, handsome as a California raisin,
In the glaring sun of glorious life, Jim Edmonds! Give joy to thee!

Traipsing through the outfield, his radiant plume to see,
Tra-la-lee, Tra-la-lee, Tra-la-lee!
To thee we honor thy grace, thou sweet Jimmy Edmonds,
For you give life to baseball, and your lustful dives gives life to thee.

[ochre]

It doesn't appear to be completely linear.

I also think that the mods get a few bonus points because I have a higher rep power than some posters with higher post counts.
that could be the "member since" bonus for time served.

[Reds Fanatic]

Carpentar grounds out to 2nd. 1 out.

[BigRedSmokey]

Ok, I'm sure this has been said, but where is Marty on the radio? I got to hear a couple innings on Friday night and noticed he wasn't on, is it a previous engagement or is something wrong with him?

[paintmered]

that could be the "member since" bonus for time served.


Oooh, I forgot about that.

So it is a function of post counts, reputatation points and longevity.

[OldCat]

You can't add to your own reputation, so they thought of that! :D

Fear my mighty 1 point Rep Hammer!

[smith288]

He is getting some pat-on-the-back award in NC so he is not in town.

[Reds Fanatic]

Eckstein flies out to 2nd. 2 outs.

[wheels]

Who's more "pesky"?

David Ekstein, or Ryan Freel?

How do you define pesky?

[smith288]

You can't add to your own reputation, so they thought of that! :D

Fear my mighty 1 point Rep Hammer! I am making funny faces at you...i DARE you to give me bad rep points!!! boogity boogity....

[westofyou]

Thee Jim Edmonds, handsome as a California raisin,

:clap:

[Reds Fanatic]

Ok, I'm sure this has been said, but where is Marty on the radio? I got to hear a couple innings on Friday night and noticed he wasn't on, is it a previous engagement or is something wrong with him?
Marty is getting a national broadcaster's hall of fame award. I think he is back tomorrow.

[ochre]

Who's more "pesky"?

David Ekstein, or Ryan Freel?

How do you define pesky?
Freel wins on the "collision factor" :)

[realreds1]

:clap:


Now, rate me nice like, people!

[Reds Fanatic]

Taguchi lines a homer to left. 1-0 Cards.

[KronoRed]

Milton..hr number 1

[Raisor]

Eric Milton Homer Update!

2-2/3 IP, 1 HR

[wheels]

The mighty So Taguchi homers convincingly to left.

He's a MASHER.

[BigRedSmokey]

Thanks guys, I figured it must be some award.

Well, there's HR #1. And of all the Cardinals, who had Tugshci. Or however you spell his name.

[smith288]

Eric Milton Homer Update!

2-2/3 IP, 1 HR Its bringing his avg hr/inning down! lol.. *i weep*

[Raisor]

Who's more "pesky"?

David Ekstein, or Ryan Freel?

How do you define pesky?

You're tying to use "pesky" to avoid having to pay me my "scrappy" bonus.

Won't work, I trade marked "pesky" too.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

[Reds Fanatic]

Pujols singles.

[Fullboat]

Solo Hr's are okay....sorta

[Reds Fanatic]

Nice play by Aurilia on a 6-4 fielder's choice. 1-0 Cards middle of the 3rd.

[KronoRed]

Solo Hr's are okay....sorta

From the power guys..but from that guy??

[BigRedSmokey]

I just hope Miley doesn't go argue with the ump, wouldn't want to tick off LaRussa and have him say the Reds are whiners. :D

Be interesting to hear what Marty has to say, if anything, tomorrow when he comes back.

[Reds Fanatic]

Larue strikes out swinging. 1 out.

[smith288]

Is LaRue 0 for his last 50 or something? I cant remember the last time he touched the ball let alone got a hit.

[Falls City Beer]

Reds better have their two-strike swings practiced, cuz Carpenter's going to be around the plate ALL night. The guy doesn't waste many pitches.

[Reds Fanatic]

Milton strikes out swinging. 2 outs.

[Reds Fanatic]

Jimenez grounds out to 2nd. 1-0 Cards after 3.

[smith288]

If the Reds lose 2-1 today...it would almost feel like a win...

[KronoRed]

JR will go off next inning.

[Puffy]

I'm just posting to check out my reputation factor.

[Reds Fanatic]

Edmonds strikes out swinging again. 1 out.

[RosieRed]

I leave my desk and Milton serves one up.

Sorry guys!

[Puffy]

Hey, I don't have a reputation - at least I can't find one anywhere!!

And by the way, ESPN just switched to the Reds game

[Reds Fanatic]

Grudzielanek grounds out to 2nd. 2 outs.

[RFS62]

You're tying to use "pesky" to avoid having to pay me my "scrappy" bonus.

Won't work, I trade marked "pesky" too.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!


Maybe he's scrapesky. Or magically scrapilicious.

Or Scrapdillyicious

[Reds Fanatic]

Mabry doubles to center.

[KronoRed]

Hey, I don't have a reputation - at least I can't find one anywhere!!

And by the way, ESPN just switched to the Reds game

It just got turned off :confused:

[Reds Fanatic]

Molina grounds out to short. 1-0 Cards middle of the 4th.

[RFS62]

75 Pitches through 4

[Reds Fanatic]

It just got turned off :confused:
The Mets-Phillies game is delayed by rain so they keep switching around the league showing parts of different games.

[ochre]

krono broke it :cool:

[RosieRed]

GIK turned it off because people were going crazy. Krono ... ahem. ;)

[Reds Fanatic]

Junior strikes out looking. 1 out.

[Reds Fanatic]

Casey lines a single to left.

[wheels]

GIK turned it off because people were going crazy. Krono ... ahem. ;)

Seriously?

[BigRedSmokey]

Living here in Lexington,KY and getting ESPN News and not the Reds on ESPN. Was hoping that maybe MLB would forget about the blackout rule. lol

[ws1990reds]

Junior stands there like a lump on a pickle. Then, Casey seems to have no problems recognizing strikes and wacks one into left field for a hit. Gotta' swing the bat, Junior.

[KronoRed]

GIK turned it off because people were going crazy. Krono ... ahem. ;)

I'm not the only one *coughPAINTcough*

[Reds Fanatic]

Pena strikes out swinging. 2 outs.

[wheels]

Take 'em deep A.D.

[BigRedSmokey]

Pena didn't look good on that at bat. I'm saying DUNN goes yard this time after just missing last time up. <Fingers crossed>

[RosieRed]

Seriously?

I'm paraphrasing what GIK said. He put it in nicer words. :) But he said he's going to turn it back on later tonight and post something about it.

(His post is in the Be the Last Person thread.)

[Falls City Beer]

The Cards: the first NL team that knows how to pitch to Pena. It's not that hard; when the rest of the NL gets the book--look out.

[KronoRed]

Seriously?

He's going to switch it back on later ;)

Everyone stop blaming me for everything! yeesh :cry:

[Reds Nd2]

I'm thinking about Elvis-ing my tv.

Believe it or not, I've actually done that before and tonight, I'm thinking about Elvis-ing my internet cable provider. :angry:

Anyway, if you do go Presley on your television, use a 9mm CorBon 115 grain JHP. It won't overpenetrate a 32" RCA. :)

[Reds Fanatic]

Dunn singles to center. 1st and 2nd with 2 outs.

[RosieRed]

Anyway, if you do go Presley on your television, use a 9mm CorBon 115 grain JHP. It won't overpenetrate a 32" RCA. :)

:eek: :eek: :eek:

[Yachtzee]

I'm experimenting right now. I have DirectTV and it says that the Reds game is on ESPNa (ESPN Alternate?). I have the Tivo set while my wife and son have control of the TV, so we'll see if I have the game taped afterward.

[Reds Fanatic]

Randa strikes out looking. 1-0 Cards after 4.

[KronoRed]

Boss just mentioned in chat that the rep system will be turned back on when every CRT member is set to the same level

[ochre]

Randa strikes out looking. 1-0 Cards after 4.
petals are falling off of that tulip, eh?

He'll perform close to his career norms. Kind of ABoonish I guess.

[Reds Fanatic]

Carpentar flies out to right. 1 out.

[Reds Fanatic]

Eckstein flies out to center. 2 out.

[redsfaninbsg]

Just got home but I did get the chance to catch Joe on the radio and I'm still laughing. His pronounciation of Taguchi was hillarious.

[Reds Fanatic]

Taguchi lines out to left. 1-0 Cards middle of the 5th.

[Reds Nd2]

:eek: :eek: :eek:

What can I say? I like to perform ballistic testing on various household objects in my spare time. Doesn't everyone? Plus, I loathe The West Wing. ;)

[Reds Fanatic]

Aurilia lines a home run to right. 1-1!

[RosieRed]

My heavens. That's the last thing I expected. Tie game!!

[KronoRed]

Aurilia ties it up :clap:

[Falls City Beer]

Would somebody test him for roids already?

[westofyou]

RA has power, that's it... no range can't get on base. But has some power.

He's a beer leaguer eh?

[Reds Fanatic]

Larue strikes out looking. 7 K's for Carpentar.

[Reds Fanatic]

Milton grounds out to the pitcher. 2 outs.

[Reds Fanatic]

Jimenez grounds out to 2nd. 1-1 after 5.

[KronoRed]

Thanks for the PBP Reds Fanatic

[rdiersin]

An interesting note. Dickerson has 2 HRs in tonights Sarasota game, that's 6 for the year, and I think he was even on the DL.

[wheels]

RA has power, that's it... no range can't get on base. But has some power.

He's a beer leaguer eh?

I like it when you end your sentences in "eh".

It's funny.

[Reds Fanatic]

Pujols lines a double to center.

[WVRedsFan]

Just got home but I did get the chance to catch Joe on the radio and I'm still laughing. His pronounciation of Taguchi was hillarious.

Why is Joe doing this game? I thought it was only away games (I haven't been around enough to know).

[Puffy]

Jason LaRue now has 26 K's in 59 at bats.

:yikes:

He wants that record from Dunn

Why is Joe doing this game? I thought it was only away games (I haven't been around enough to know).He's doing a 6-game stint while Marty is off accepting an award in NC.

[Reds Fanatic]

Sanders flies out to the warning track in right. Pujols to third with one out.

[WVRedsFan]

'Preciate it. I think I'll turn on the old radio.

[Reds Fanatic]

Edmonds strikes out swinging for the 3rd time tonight. 2 outs.

[RosieRed]

I love when Edmonds strikes out, especially when it happens three times in a row. Very nice!

[FlyingPig]

heheh, I love watching Jim Edmunds strike out..


:devil:

[KronoRed]

Edmonds meant to K ;)

[RosieRed]

Shucks. That's no good.

[Reds Fanatic]

Should have been out of the inning but Randa throws the ball in the dirt to 1st and Pujols scores. 2-1 Cards.

[PuffyPig]

Randa sure picks a bad time to remind us of Brandon Larson.

[ws1990reds]

That's been A LOT of bouncers thrown by the Reds third-basemen this season. Randa had all the time in the world to make that throw a strong one. What gives?

[RosieRed]

Does Milton start the next inning?

[Reds Fanatic]

Mabry flies out to center. 2-1 Cards middle of the 6th. Milton now at 103 pitches so he may be done for the night.

[Falls City Beer]

Does Milton start the next inning?

I would start him next inning.

[KronoRed]

Does Milton start the next inning?

I hope not..but then I don't want to see the pen either

[PuffyPig]

Does Milton start the next inning?

I doubt it. I think Weathers comes in. But with the bottom of the order up for the Cards, it wouldn't surprise me to see if Milton can go anther to save Weathers for the 8th.

[Reds Fanatic]

Unbelievable if they call that a double. That ball bounced on the grass in center came back in and they are calling it a double.

[RosieRed]

I so want that to be a HR.

[SteelSD]

Heh. Ump got that call right the first time and now gives Junior a HR.

[ws1990reds]

Griffey sure put some power on that bad boy. ;) Isn't it normally a homerun whenthe ball hits the yellow line on a fence?

[Reds Fanatic]

They changed the call to a home run for Junior. The funny thing is it probably was a double on second look it appeared to hit the yellow line at the top of the wall. 2-2

[FlyingPig]

Go ahead and finish it Jr!

:thumbup:

[CrackerJack]

Hehe, got away with one there. It hit the yellow stripe pretty clearly on replay, I thought it hit the grass too.

[RedFanAlways1966]

Bad call... the replay showed it hit the top of the wall.

Oh well... tie game!!

[Falls City Beer]

Griffey sure put some power on that bad boy. ;) Isn't it normally a homerun whenthe ball hits the yellow line on a fence?

Yes. Even if it bounces back into play.

[RosieRed]

Aww, Junior is so cute when he smiles. :)

[ws1990reds]

Unbelievable if they call that a double. That ball bounced on the grass in center came back in and they are calling it a double.

Actually, it didn't. It hit the yellow line on the fence. The first time I saw it, it sure looked like it hit beyond the wall and back in. :thumbup:

[pedro]

Is that really a homer? I'd think not.

[NoCalRed]

:laugh: Espn gamecast said JR homered to third...that's a new one on me!

[Reds Fanatic]

Casey singles his 3rd hit of the night.

[CrackerJack]

Yes. Even if it bounces back into play.


Is that true? I didn't know that for some reason.

[wheels]

That yellow line is the homer line, unless it bounces back into play.

It bounced back into play, but we'll take it, won't we?

[LINEDRIVER]

You mean the Reds actually catch a break ????????

[Falls City Beer]

Is that true? I didn't know that for some reason.

Balls that hit the top of the (yellow padding) and bounce back in.

[wheels]

Hopefully Wily Mo makes it a moot point.

[Reds Fanatic]

Pena strikes out swinging. 1 out.

[wheels]

NOT! He goes down swinging.

Carpenter's got Wily Mo flummoxed.

[FlyingPig]

Wily Mo having a bad night...

[Falls City Beer]

Why haven't other teams figured out Pena?

[Reds Fanatic]

Dunn walks on 4 pitches. 1st and 2nd with one out. Good time for Randa to make up for the error.

[wheels]

Adam Dunn's got the best plate presense of anyone I've seen in a Reds uniform since Eric Davis.

Doesn't get bothered, and won't swing at bad pitches for the most part.

Walks on four straight pitches.

[pedro]

Carpenter just ate WMP. WMP's been pretty good about laying off that outside breaking pitch.

[SirFelixCat]

At work, but just wanted to say hi and thanks for all the kind words, y'all. Thanks for the pbp and excited to be more active in here again :D
