[LvJ]

I will never understand why Sean Casey hits third on this team. Never.

[CincyRedsFan30]

This lineup wouldn't be so bad if Casey and Dunn were swapped.

[creek14]

I am really going to do this.

Tomorrow I am going to Office Max and buy a big ole pink eraser like you used in grade school. Then I am going to put it in a box and send it to JN with a note that says - "please remove Casey from the #3 hole."

[Matt700wlw]

Aurilia's gonna get mad..... :p:

[CincyRedsFan30]

Aurilia's gonna get mad..... :p:

Maybe he is about to be traded? ;)

[redsfan4445]

Narron went to the fine school of "MileyBall", so this is "Mr Baseball Guy's" Way of thanking Miley for all that he taught him..lol.. Yesterday KEarns hits low and should have ben batting after Jr but NOOOOOOOOOO, Narron has to showcase Aurelia in the 5 hole!!! arrgggggggg
I am in belief that the playrers see how dumb these lineups are and just shake their heads.. this season i sure wish i had seats next to the dugout on the managers side.. i could have pointed out to Gullet that Wilson and Miltons mechanics were ll screwed up as well as the ongoing belief that hitting your power guys 5,6 & 7 in the lineup while Casey gives 54 outs on 26 groundballs is the dumb way to have a guy hit 3rd with a hot JR up next!!! where JR should be batting to give him a better chance at getting an extra AB per game.. oh i forgot.. Casey is MR Nice Guy.. lets dont rock the boat!..and not use common sense with lineups!! geeeeeeesh

[redsfan30]

Maybe he is about to be traded? ;)
Inside info, or just wishful thinking?

[Gainesville Red]

You know, watching the Griffey/Brady Clark interview before the game, Griffey's got a pretty nice set of guns.

[CincyRedsFan30]

I'm afraid it's just wishful thinking in this instance. :)

[RedRoser]

You have the game televised?

[westofyou]

You know, watching the Griffey/Brady Clark interview before the game, Griffey's got a pretty nice set of guns.

Big Tat (too)

[creek14]

You know, watching the Griffey/Brady Clark interview before the game, Griffey's got a pretty nice set of guns.
Oh gosh, I never noticed that before. :evil: :evil: ;)

[westofyou]

Brewer feed... Hudson is all over the place.

[CTA513]

Clark walks.

[CTA513]

Hudson is all over the place.

Thats nothing new. :D

[Gallen5862]

Clark walks.

[creek14]

Stuck at work. No radio. PBP or inning recap would be appreciated. Thanks.

[CTA513]

Weeks grounds in to a double play. 2 outs.

[Gallen5862]

Weeks grounds into a casey.

[CTA513]

Overbay singles.

[RedRoser]

creek:
Please also suggest in your note that we erase Hudson from this staff. Can we just make a trade that will bring us a pitcher to plug in his spot in the rotation, or even call up someone we already have? Please. . . :bang: :help:

[CTA513]

Lee doubles, 1 run scores.

1-0 Brewers.

Nothing new about this.

[RedRoser]

Whoa, I'm really impressed. With that double play, Hudson's ERA just "plummeted" from 10.00 to 9.82 or something. :rolleyes:

[westofyou]

Smoked that to LCF, Pena actually played it cleanly.

This must be Pena's first CF apperance since april.

[CTA513]

If Hudson doesnt pitch a good game today, then this should be his last start.

[creek14]

creek:
Please also suggest in your note that we erase Hudson from this staff. Can we just make a trade that will bring us a pitcher to plug in his spot in the rotation, or even call up someone we already have? Please. . . :bang: :help:
I can add a Hudson note. Anything else? Any Aurilia requests?

I really am going to do this.

[CTA513]

Jenkins grounds out. 3 outs.

[RedRoser]

That was short lived. The ERA is back above 10 now. 10.01 in fact.

[WVRedsFan]

Hudson showed some promise last year. What happened? Was it the injury? I remember him as having good stuff last year, but the control was off. This year he has no control and he floats most everything he throws for a strike.

Witness that pitch that went for a double.

He'll allow 6 or 7 today before Narron gets someone warming up. Offensively we're good, but today we'll be lucky to score 5.

[Cedric]

Smoked that to LCF, Pena actually played it cleanly.

This must be Pena's first CF apperance since april.

Pena is adequate at least in CF, he's not in RF. I don't know what it is about RF, but it's much harder to play than CF from what most pro's say.

[creek14]

We have the NASCAR race on here, if anyone wants updates. Of course I might actually have to do some work at some point.

[CTA513]

Freel strikes out. 1 out.

[WVRedsFan]

We have the NASCAR race on here, if anyone wants updates. Of course I might actually have to do some work at some point.

I was supposed to be at Pocono, but the track didn't feel like I needed to be there, so I'm flipping back and forth. Usually on Sundays, I end up just checking the game from time to time and watching the race. Sad.

[Gallen5862]

Freel strikesout.

[CTA513]

Lopez strikes out. 2 outs.

[RedRoser]

They're having a NASCAR race NOW, right in the middle of our ballgame? What are they thinking? :p:

[CTA513]

The Reds have to be #1 in strike outs looking.

[westofyou]

The Reds have to be #1 in strike outs looking.

Look for more, LH's eat this team up.

[CTA513]

Casey grounds out. 3 outs.

1-0 Brewers after 1 inning.

[CTA513]

Look for more, LH's eat this team up.

You could put a pitching machine out there and have it throw nothing but strikes and they would still look at strike 3.

[creek14]

So CTA513, I just looked at your profile. You are a pretty quick typist for someone pushing 100. :)

[CTA513]

Braynan singles.

Time to get the bullpen up now.

[Falls City Beer]

Look for more, LH's eat this team up.

Except a guy like Mulder. Go figure.

[CTA513]

So CTA513, I just looked at your profile. You are a pretty quick typist for someone pushing 100. :)

Its all about the prune juice. ;)

[RedRoser]

So where'd Junior accept a trade to? :eek:
I mean he is sitting out, right? Gotta be a reason! ;)
And where's Rich, wait a minute, I don't care. . .
Javier probably just giving way to Jason's turn in the "rotation", right? :evil:

Shame about Jr. anyway. . . :laugh:

---'Roser

[CTA513]

Hardy walks.

[creek14]

Its all about the prune juice. ;)
And witty for an old fart. :p: ;) ;)

[RedRoser]

:bang: anybody up in the pen, YET??? :bang:

[CTA513]

Moeller grounds in to a double play. 2 outs.

[CTA513]

:bang: anybody up in the pen, YET??? :bang:

Nope, and there probably wont be till the Reds are down by atleast 6 runs.

:bang:

[RedRoser]

2 BB and 3 Hits and we don't even have the first out in the 2nd inning yet!!!

[CTA513]

Davis strikes out. 3 outs.

[RedRoser]

Nope, and there probably wont be till the Reds are down by atleast 6 runs.

:bang:

Methinks that not good strategy, no??? :eek: :evil:

[RedRoser]

Knew Hudson had it all along! ahem....Get somebody loose before the luck runs out there Jerry!!! :thumbdown

[CTA513]

Kearns flies out. 1 out.

[RedRoser]

Kearns, Dunn, Pena due up. Which one's about to take their first at bat of their last game as a Red??? :eek:
Hope the answer to that is "NONE of 'em, 'Roser!" :D

[Cedric]

It's 1-0 in the bottom of the second and we are warming up the bullpen? Doesn't seem reasonable to me.

[CTA513]

Dunn flies out. 2 outs.

[Gallen5862]

Dunn flies out.

[CTA513]

Pena strikes out. 3 outs. (yes another strike out looking)

1-0 Brewers after 2 innings.

[Buckeye33]

Another strike out looking. Yuck.

[Gallen5862]

WMP strikesout.

[CincyRedsFan30]

Pena K's and Davis is still perfect through 2 IP.

[RedRoser]

Don't know why I just thought of 'im, but does anybody know where Alex Ochoa is playing? Did a quick search at Yahoo MLB and he isn't listed on anybody's team.
I thought Alex played well as a RED, how many years ago? :eek:

[creek14]

Kearns, Dunn, Pena due up. Which one's about to take their first at bat of their last game as a Red??? :eek:
Hope the answer to that is "NONE of 'em, 'Roser!" :D
I loathe* this time of the year. My stomach churns. I want trades. Good trades. And with the Reds, you never know if it’s going to be a good trade. And I don’t want my favs to go cause I am selfish like that. But I know they might have to go for the good of the team. I just want it to be 1Aug so the suspense will be over.

* - Puffy 2005

[Falls City Beer]

Pena K's.

Looking.

Perfect thru 2. ;) I wanted to make sure I was the 10th person to write that.

[CTA513]

Clark flies out. 1 out.

[CTA513]

Weeks pops out. 2 outs.

[CTA513]

Overbay singles.

[CTA513]

Lee lines out. 3 outs.

[oneupper]

Lee lines out. 3 outs.

Nice play by EdE. :thumbup:

[Buckeye33]

Overbay singles.

Overbay is now right behind Pujols as the #1 Reds killer.

Unreal.

[Gallen5862]

Great glovework EE. :thumbup:

[Gainesville Red]

A Hit!!!!!!!!

[CTA513]

Encarnacion grounds out.. 1 out.

Larue singles.

[Gainesville Red]

Hudson singles

[CTA513]

Hudson singles.

[RedRoser]

that's NOT going to get it done, LaRue. Javy hits HOMERS! :laugh:

[Gallen5862]

Hudson with a hit.

[Falls City Beer]

Following this game thread is like looking at myself in two funhouse mirrors, one in front and one behind, my image stretching out to infinity.

[CTA513]

Hudson is batting .375

[RedRoser]

There went the perfecto, the no-hitter, and the one-hitter! Now let's work on breaking up the shutout!!!

[CTA513]

Freel grounds in to a force at 2nd. 2 outs.

[Gallen5862]

Freel advances Larue to third. Runners on the corners with the FC.

[creek14]

Early in the race (lap 18), Kurt Busch leading.

[CTA513]

Lopez strikes out. 3 outs.

1-0 Brewers after 3 innings.

[Gallen5862]

Lopez strikes out.

[CTA513]

Time to start fining players for looking at strike 3.

[CTA513]

Jenkins lines out. 1 out.

[CTA513]

Branyan strikes out. 2 outs.

[creek14]

So is Hudson looking better or is it so hot the Brewers don't have the strength to swing?

[CTA513]

Hardy pops out. 3 outs.

[oneupper]

Hardy pops out. 3 outs.

Nice play by Casey, hanging over the rail. :thumbup:

[CTA513]

Casey singles.

[CTA513]

Kearns Homers!

2-1 Reds.

[DoogMinAmo]

An opposite field homer for Kearns, a very good sign.

[Gallen5862]

:rockband: :party: AK with a 2 run homerun.

[CTA513]

Dunn strikes out. 1 out.

[Falls City Beer]

Welcome back, Austin. Now keep doing that. (And bring back Blanton from Oakland or something)

[creek14]

Dunn strikes out. 1 out.
Looking or swinging?

[CTA513]

Pena strikes out. 2 outs.

[CTA513]

Looking or swinging?

looking

[Gallen5862]

WMP strikes out.

[CTA513]

Encarnacion doubles.

[Gallen5862]

EE with a double.

[Falls City Beer]

What difference does it make if a K is looking or swinging? I mean, in the final analysis? What's the bloody big deal?

[CTA513]

Larue intentionally walked.

[Gainesville Red]

What difference does it make if a K is looking or swinging? I mean, in the final analysis? What's the bloody big deal?

Can't hit the ball without swinging the bat, Meat! That was part of the dialogue in a video game I had, got pretty annoying.

[CTA513]

Hudson strikes out. 3 outs.

2-1 Reds after 4 innings.

[Falls City Beer]

There goes Hudson, swinging at strike 3. ;)

[CTA513]

There goes Hudson, swinging at strike 3. ;)

Atleast he attempted to hit it and didnt just watch it go by.

[Falls City Beer]

Atleast he attempted to hit it and didnt just watch it go by.

But in the end he ends up in the same spot, heading back to the dugout.

[CTA513]

Moeller doubles.

[creek14]

What difference does it make if a K is looking or swinging? I mean, in the final analysis? What's the bloody big deal?
Seems if he starts with a few swings and misses, he quickly gets in a rut. If he K's looking he'll do okay during later ABs.

[RedRoser]

Guess that explains why a .375 hitter is batting 9th in the order. Just can't produce with men on base. ;)

[CTA513]

Davis bunts Moeller over to 3rd. 1 out.

[Falls City Beer]

Hudson not finishing his pitches--they end up high.

[CTA513]

But in the end he ends up in the same spot, heading back to the dugout.

So would you rather everyone strike out looking instead of swinging?

[CTA513]

Clark singles. 1 run scores.

2-2 tie game.

[Matt700wlw]

My string is running out on Luke Hudson...

[Gallen5862]

You need to swing the bat in order to have a chance to hit the ball.

[Falls City Beer]

So would you rather everyone strike out looking instead of swinging?

No. I'm saying it doesn't make a damn bit of difference in the end what they look like.

[Tony Cloninger]

THat pitch to Dunn on strike 3....was, in memory of Ball Four, a bastard pitch. You could do nothing with it but foul it off or swing and miss. A pitcher's pitch. (See Tommy Davis for the quote in Ball Four)

[RedRoser]

Well, that would eliminate all the time taken up by foul balls and fair balls. :D

[CTA513]

No. I'm saying it doesn't make a damn bit of difference in the end what they look like.

You cant hit a ball you dont swing at.

[creek14]

No. I'm saying it doesn't make a damn bit of difference in the end what they look like.
But it does with Dunn. When he swings and misses he seems to get a little frustrated and keeps swinging and missing. When he looks, he learns.

[CTA513]

wild pitch, Clark to 2nd.

[Falls City Beer]

You cant hit a ball you dont swing at.

And you can strike out on ball four. Which is WAY worse to my mind.

[CTA513]

Weeks grounds out. 2 outs.

[Tony Cloninger]

It is a requirement of all Reds pitchers to give runs back as quickly as their offense can score them.

Better outing for Hudson today.....but he should be in the bullpen mopping up.

[Falls City Beer]

But it does with Dunn. When he swings and misses he seems to get a little frustrated and keeps swinging and missing. When he looks, he learns.

It may make a difference person to person, but that's an issue of personal comfort and choice. All I'm saying is that I don't fault someone any more for K'ing looking than I do swinging.

[CTA513]

And you can strike out on ball four. Which is WAY worse to my mind.

If the pitch is a strike then how can you strike out on a ball four?

[CTA513]

wild pitch, clark to 3rd.

Overbay walks.

[CTA513]

Lee flies out. 3 outs.

[Falls City Beer]

If the pitch is a strike then how can you strike out on a ball four?

What if it's borderline, or what if the hitter truly believes it's a ball or deems it unhittable? In short, I want my hitters to swing at pitches they can handle and run the count out as far as possible. That's really all I ask of a hitter.

[CTA513]

I guess there was a bunch of borderline strikes, because 5 batters watched strike 3 today.

[Falls City Beer]

I guess there was a bunch of borderline strikes, because 5 batters watched strike 3 today.

It happens. What can I say.

Just so long as doesn't happen for 9 innings.

[CTA513]

Freel grounds out. 1 out.

[Gainesville Red]

Narron's yelling at the umpire from the dugout (balls and strikes). Umpire told him to shut up, and he did.

[CTA513]

Lopez strikes out. 2 outs.

[creek14]

Narron's yelling at the umpire from the dugout (balls and strikes). Umpire told him to shut up, and he did.
No Jerry, don't even think of running out there and kicking a little dirt and showing some emotion and getting your team fired up. :rolleyes:

[Matt700wlw]

No Jerry, don't even think of running out there and kicking a little dirt and showing some emotion and getting your team fired up. :rolleyes:

This team is nice guys. That wouldn't be nice.

[Tony Cloninger]

He is a heck of a lot more emotional than Miley was.

At least he chirps at the umps every now and then.

BTW......SOME people in those stands NEED to put their shirts back on.

I mean.....do they not look in the mirror?

[CTA513]

Casey flies out. 3 outs.

2-2 tie game after 5 innings.

[Falls City Beer]

BTW......SOME people in those stands NEED to put their shirts back on.

I mean.....do they not look in the mirror?

Man boobs?

[RedRoser]

Well on a hot, dry day like today, he'd probably get better results if he went out and threw a cup of water on the ump. :thumbup:
Besides, they're all waiting on the "fire sale" to really get fired up. :evil:

[RFS62]

He is a heck of a lot more emotional than Miley was.




Dude, I've seen 2 x 4's more emotional than Miley.

Miley makes sawdust look scintillating.

[Tony Cloninger]

Man boobs.....beer bellies....guys with more hair than the average bear.

It's definetly not Chippendale's material. Unless it's Chris Farley night.

[creek14]

BTW......SOME people in those stands NEED to put their shirts back on.

I mean.....do they not look in the mirror?
So are you saying they don't look like this?
http://www.fosterfitness.com/images/Mike%20Fostersmile%20Shirtless.jpg
Hey, any excuse for some girl eye candy. :evil:

[CTA513]

Jenkins strikes out. 1 out.

[Falls City Beer]

Man boobs.....beer bellies....guys with more hair than the average bear.

It's definetly not Chippendale's material. Unless it's Chris Farley night.

Seeing stuff like that makes me reflexively do situps and pushups.

[Gainesville Red]

I've seen some pretty good mullets out there today also.

[Tony Cloninger]

Okay.....so Narron will not make anyone forget Earl Weaver.....either with his lineups or his tempermant.

[KronoRed]

Good lineup, subtract Casey and put JR in, Dunn to 1st and it's perfect.

[CTA513]

Branyan strikes out. 2 outs.

[CTA513]

Hardy flies out. 3 outs.

[Tony Cloninger]

Is that some girl's only party you went to creek?

I could go to the gym 7 days a week and not look like that.

[CTA513]

Kearns grounds out. 1 out.

[CTA513]

Dunn strikes out. 2 outs.

[CTA513]

Pena strikes out. 3 outs.

2-2 tie game after 6 innings.

[CTA513]

Belsile to pitch the 7th.

[RedRoser]

Geez, have we struck out enough today?
Maybe we're just saving the hits for the game-winning variety.

[KronoRed]

Strike out..ground out

an outs an out :D

[CTA513]

Moeller grounds out. 1 out.

[CTA513]

Davis strikes out. 2 outs.

[Gallen5862]

Well Hudson struggled but gets a quality start.

[CTA513]

Clark singles.

[CTA513]

Weeks strikes out. 3 outs.

[CincyRedsFan30]

Randa is currently PH for the Padres against the Phillies.

[RedRoser]

Would this be a good time for EE to hit his first dinger? :)

[CincyRedsFan30]

Randa singled to bring the tying run to the plate in the 7th. :)

[Gainesville Red]

good to hear, I like Randa.

[RedRoser]

Randa is currently PH for the Padres against the Phillies.

Why's he wearing that Reds hat to the plate? Oh, wait a minute, that's just yahoo, not television. I forget sometimes. :D

[CTA513]

Encarnacion flies out. 1 out.

[Gallen5862]

EE is fouling off alot of pitches.

[CincyRedsFan30]

Even though he flew out, I liked that nice 10-pitch AB from our new 3B. He worked the tiring Davis pretty well there.

[Hoosier Red]

Nice AB for EE though good to see 10 pitches from a starter this late in the game.

[CTA513]

Larue strikes out. 2 outs.

[CTA513]

Aurilia pinch hitting for Belisle.

[CTA513]

Aurilia grounds out. 3 outs.

2-2 tie game after 7 innings.

[CTA513]

Mercker in to ptich the 8th.

[RedRoser]

As Rich strikes out, he unconsciously begins humming, "In the morning, I'll be leaving, making my way (up) to Cleveland. . ." (or you can fill in just about any ML city you wish).

[RedRoser]

And, as Dunn makes his way out to LF b/w innings, he's probably singing "Going back to Houston, Houston, Houston..."

[CTA513]

Overbay strikes out. 1 out.

[CTA513]

Lee pops out. 2 outs.

[RedRoser]

Somebody actually got Overbay out. Hmmm...

[CTA513]

Jenkins strikes out. 3 outs.

[RedRoser]

after Mercker gets this third out, he's gonna be singing "On the road again. I just can't wait to get on the road again. The Life I love is playing baseball with some friends, but it always puts me on the road again."

[creek14]

And, as Dunn makes his way out to LF b/w innings, he's probably singing "Going back to Houston, Houston, Houston..."
Bite your tongue. :nono: :nono:

[CTA513]

Freel singles.

[Falls City Beer]

Trading Dunn to Houston for the horsecrap they've got in their minor leagues would be worse than Robinson for Pappas. Way worse.

[KronoRed]

I want this to be the opening day lineup next year

2B Freel
SS Lopez
CF JR
1B Dunn
RF Kearns
LF Pena
3B EE
CA LaRue

Just sayin

[missionhockey21]

I want this to be the opening day lineup next year

Get Griffey to move to another position and yep, that would be perfect to me.

I could dig it.

[CTA513]

Lopez bunt pops out. 1 out.

[RedRoser]

TeamCasey's not going to be HAPPY, Krono!

[KronoRed]

TeamCasey's not going to be HAPPY, Krono!

She's on vacation and not reading the board

(I hope) :help:

[CincyRedsFan30]

Marty just pointed to Lopez not getting the bunt down as an example of the inability of the team to do the infamous "little things". I'm sure Rich would have gotten that bunt down. ;)

[creek14]

Krono, with that impressive post total, can you single-handedly bump someone from oh say 10 to 200 rep points?

[KronoRed]

Krono, with that impressive post total, can you single-handedly bump someone from oh say 10 to 200 rep points?

Nope

Wow..that would be some power :devil:

[CTA513]

Casey grounds out, Freel to 2nd. 2 outs.

[CincyRedsFan30]

Casey tried to hit into a Casey, but Freel's speed/the slow speed of which the ball was hit was too much even for Sean.

[CTA513]

Kearns grounds out. 3 outs.

2-2 tie game after 8 innings.

[RedRoser]

so we score that a "half-casey" then??? :confused:

[westofyou]

Pay the kitty, the man just threw a ton of pitches and he's topped 110... Kearns owned himself at least 2 looks.

[CincyRedsFan30]

so we score that a "half-casey" then??? :confused:

An "Attempted Casey".

[Falls City Beer]

Is Casey Caseying anything like the Judeo-Christian "I AM THAT I AM"

[CTA513]

Hall pinch hitting for Branyan.

Weathers to pitch the 9th.

[RedRoser]

Astros and Nats headed into the 11th inn.

[WVRedsFan]

Marty just pointed to Lopez not getting the bunt down as an example of the inability of the team to do the infamous "little things". I'm sure Rich would have gotten that bunt down. ;)

Having Lopez bunt is the crime.

My opinion only, apparently.

[CTA513]

Hall strikes out. 1 out.

[CincyRedsFan30]

Having Lopez bunt is the crime.

My opinion only, apparently.

No, I agree with you.

Having the best NL SS bunt, who's been known to get big hits all year is most certainly a crime in my book.

Crime but no punishment, unfortunately.

[CTA513]

Hardy grounds out. 2 outs.

[westofyou]

Lopez should practice bunting RH, looked like he had no grasp on his approach from that side.

[RedRoser]

If Weathers can hold 'em scoreless here, I'm thinkin' one of Dunn, Pena, or EE is gonna do their "Doggy" imitation here in the home half. You know, if the game goes long enough, Tony Perez is gonna win it for ya!" :D

[WVRedsFan]

No, I agree with you.

Having the best NL SS bunt, who's been known to get big hits all year is most certainly a crime in my book.

Crime but no punishment, unfortunately.

Especially with Casey who doesn't do much against leftys coming up.

This small ball attitude with "hitters" drives me nuts.

[CTA513]

Moeller walks.

[CTA513]

Magruder pinch hitting for Davis.

Durrington pinch running for Moeller.

[CTA513]

Durrington steals 2nd.

[KronoRed]

David, please throw strikes

[CTA513]

Durrington goes to 3rd on a wild pitch.

[RedRoser]

So was that an unintentional-intentional walk to Moeller, to force the PH and end Davis's day on the mound? Probably not, since you never put the go ahead run on with two outs, but interesting all the same.

[Falls City Beer]

All of a sudden control loss. His back ain't right.

[CTA513]

Magruder strikes out. 3 outs.

[westofyou]

No, I agree with you.

But hitting RH Lopez this year is

.228/.277/.370/.647

Play for one run at home, it should be a safe bet.

[RedRoser]

The Dodgers were shutout by the Mets today. Bet their working the phones with Dan'O as we speak!

They could use Casey ;)

[CTA513]

Santana in to pitch the 9th for the Brewers.

That's true, but Casey was coming up next, and he is almost an automatic out right now. Of course Kearns followed him, but I still don't know about the move.

[CTA513]

walk of Homer Run for Dunn!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[KronoRed]

I like that Dunn kid :D

[westofyou]

He should've drove in more... just sayin.

[CincyRedsFan30]

Dunn doesn't hit in the clutch. ;)

[Gainesville Red]

Yeah!!!!!!!!!!

[creek14]

walk of Homer Run for Dunn!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Just a solo shot? Slacker.

[RFS62]

Wow, what a showoff.

And selfish, too.

Can't let anyone else in on the fun, no.

It's all about him.

[Gainesville Red]

I scared the puppy, yelled to loud, she doesn't like that.

[RedRoser]

That's true, but Casey was coming up next, and he is almost an automatic out right now. Of course Kearns followed him, but I still don't know about the move.

Sshhh! Don't let the Mets hear that! They'll insist on Dunn instead! :evil:

[BoydsOfSummer]

Boom! Boom! Boom!

[DoogMinAmo]

I knew that was coming, before I even knew he was batting the bottom half of the ninth, I had a VERY strong feeling he was hitting a walk off homer. Enjoy this Reds fans, you are watching a legend grow up before your very eyes.

[IslandRed]

Aw, heck. Let's keep him.

[Gallen5862]

But it was a game winning and series winning Homerun. :thumbup: :party: :rockband:

[creek14]

I know a lot of people hate the *walk off* term (Guernsey sure did). But I love it. There's nothing better than watching the bad guys walk off the field all dejected.

[RedRoser]

I told you Dunner'd do a "Doggie"!! WHOOOOOOO!!!!!

[Matt700wlw]

Adam Dunn is getting better.

[RedRoser]

Aw, heck. Let's keep him.

You'd practically have to KILL me with an offer before I'd trade ya Dunn! Sorry Cubbies, Dodgers, Astros, et al... :p:

---'Roser

[KronoRed]

Adam Dunn is getting better.

Can we keep him Dan O? :D

[pedro]

Wow, what a showoff.

And selfish, too.

It's all about him.

another useless solo HR. ;)

[DoogMinAmo]

You'd practically have to KILL me with an offer before I'd trade ya Dunn!

---'Roser

So if Redread is John Allen, does that make RedRoser DanO? :evil:

[creek14]

I'd like to give that big old sweaty body a hug right now.

Oh wait, are we still talking about the game?
