8/3 - Braves @ Reds - TONY PEREZ BOBBLEHEAD NIGHT!!!1

[TC81190]

I'm there!

[Red Leader]

I clicked on the search button in your avatar, and sadly, it did not produce the results I was hoping for, so I'm going to neg you.

just kidding.

[flyer85]

I clicked on the search button in your avatar, and sadly, it did not produce the results I was hoping forIf it had morphed into Lindner or DanO I would have showered him with positive points.

[flyer85]

I'm predicting Dunn back to the 6 spot tonight.

I think it will be
Freel
Lopez
Casey
Jr
Aurilia
Dunn
Pena
Larue

[BRM]

I'm predicting Dunn back to the 6 spot tonight.


If that happens I predict lots of these to be used in the game thread - :bang: and :thumbdown

[OnBaseMachine]

I predict Dunn is on the bench tonight.

[Red Leader]

I predict Dunn is on the bench tonight.

They'll probably sit Dunn against Ramirez because Dunn can't hit lefties. :rolleyes:

They benched him against Ramirez last time didn't they?

[BRM]

I predict Dunn is on the bench tonight.

If that happens, I expect to see these instead - :angry:

[oneupper]

Narron might actually go with something like this:

Freel
Encarnacion
Casey
JR
Kearns
Aurilia (at SS)
WMP
LaRue

Dunn and Lopez on the bench

Lopez could use a day off. Dunn doesn't need one (finger pointing) EVER!

[KronoRed]

Can't bench Dunn if Kearns is still hurting

[KronoRed]

Narron might actually go with something like this:

Freel
Encarnacion
Casey
JR
Kearns
Aurilia (at SS)
WMP
LaRue

Dunn and Lopez on the bench

Lopez could use a day off. Dunn doesn't need one (finger pointing) EVER!

Swtich EE and RA and you have a typical lineup.

[oneupper]

Can't bench Dunn if Kearns is still hurting

Shouldn't is more like it. Aurilia is ready to play 2nd (Freel OF).

[flyer85]

Narron might actually go with something like this:

Freel
Encarnacion
Casey
JR
Kearns
Aurilia (at SS)
WMP
LaRue

Dunn and Lopez on the bench

Lopez could use a day off. Dunn doesn't need one (finger pointing) EVER!from what I saw last night we will be luck to see Kearns by the weekend. If Kearns is healthy, Dunns day off will be Sunday.

[oneupper]

Swtich EE and RA and you have a typical lineup.

Yeah. I figured that MAYBE Narron would try to show a little confidence in EE by putting him up in the lineup, where he could maybe even run a bit...

Just me thinkin' that maybe he's thinkin'.... :confused:

[OnBaseMachine]

They benched him against Ramirez last time didn't they?

Yes, despite Dunn being 1 for 2 with a double and walk vs Ramirez in his career.

[Puffy]

No way Aurilia is not in the lineup tonight, just a matter of where is he playing and what spot in the order he takes from a better hitter.

[cincyinco]

Why does Lopez need a day off.. didn't he just get a day off?

[Elam]

Lineups out, Pena in clean up and Dunn moved to the 6th spot because of the lefty :rolleyes: :

:rolleyes:

[CTA513]

Griffey can be walked so Pena can strike out then Casey will hit into a double play for 3 outs.

;)

[Gainesville Red]

Yeah, move Pena up, he looked stellar last night.

[CTA513]

I hope the Reds put Zito in Claussens uniform for tonights game.

[cincyinco]

WMP has historically hit pretty damn well against LHP. I like the lineup.

Ya'll just got beef to have beef. :P

[KronoRed]

Dunn and Casey should switch spots.

Never again should Case get more at bats per game then Dunn, unless Dunn is on the bench

[CTA513]

WMP has historically hit pretty damn well against LHP. I like the lineup.

Ya'll just got beef to have beef. :P

Penas not going to hit crap if they throw him off speed stuff.

:D

[Puffy]

Well, I was wrong - no Aurilia.

I don't like Dunn sixth, but the lineup isn't half bad. Pena crushes lefties and Ramirez is even moreso the type Pena likes, so him 4th is OK by me. Casey and Dunn should be switched, but whatever.

[RedsMan3203]

Im surprised the animal activists aren't going after pena these days... He sure is killing alot of gants.

Lets get a rebound game tonight and look foward for tomorrow.

Go Reds!

[flyer85]

Ramirez is even moreso the type Pena likeshe is one of those fastball/changeup types.

[Fullboat]

Aurillia must be having a conniption. :thumbup:

Miley must came for a Tony Perez bobblehead. Narron saw him and felt sorry for him and let fill out the lineup card so he wouldn't feel so bad. ;)

[KearnsyEars]

kearns must be hurt huh?

[CTA513]

kearns must be hurt huh?

Hes on his way back to fat camp. :p:

[MartyFan]

I am curious to know how bad his injury is.

[pedro]

[Gallen5862]

Clausen starts out with a K.

[Falls City Beer]

Marcus Giles' game is awesome.

[Gallen5862]

no score going to bottom of the First.

[KearnsyEars]

is Kearns really going back to fat camp? AKA Triple AAA?

[OSURedLeg]

Nice job by Felipe to take a walk

[OnBaseMachine]

is Kearns really going back to fat camp? AKA Triple AAA?

Why would he go back to AAA?

[KronoRed]

is Kearns really going back to fat camp? AKA Triple AAA?
No, he has a sore hammy.

[OSURedLeg]

Jr hits into an inning ending Casey

[KronoRed]

The 3 spot is cursed.

[OSURedLeg]

Betemit grounds out to FeLo. 1 down

[OSURedLeg]

Estrada flies out to Dunn. 2 down

[OSURedLeg]

Langerhans K's on a ball in the dirt. Nice pitch by Classen - made him look pretty foolish

[Falls City Beer]

Brandon's going to have to get the ball down or he's going to get shelled on the second pass through.

[OSURedLeg]

Claussen seems to have the Braves off balance so far. It's nice to see him off to a good start after the mess Ortiz created last night.

[Gallen5862]

Any word yet on if junior or any of the Reds cleared waivers?

[OSURedLeg]

Ramirez must have some pretty good downward movement on the ball. He gets yet another ground ball out with Pena sending one to third.

[creek14]

Any word yet on if junior or any of the Reds cleared waivers?
I doubt we'll ever know unless they let someone go or make a trade.

[OSURedLeg]

Casey grounds out to Giles. There's a shocker. 2 down

[OSURedLeg]

Dunn flies out to RF. 3 down. 0 - 0 going into the top of the 3rd

[Gallen5862]

No score going to the top of the Third.

[Tony Cloninger]

:laugh:

The difference in opinions on FCB's and OSU's posts in regards to BC's pitching peformance is a contrast in optimist and pessimist, if ever there was one.

[OSURedLeg]

The glass is half full - for now ;)

[OSURedLeg]

Ramirez grounds out to Freel. 1 down

[Tony Cloninger]

You never know with these Reds pitchers huh?

Right now he looks like Tom Browning circa 1989....but could easily become TB circa first half 1987 in another 2-3 innings.

[OSURedLeg]

Furcal flies out to Wily Mo. 2 down

[OSURedLeg]

Giles pops out to Casey. Heading to the bottom of the 3rd with no score in the game

[Gallen5862]

No score going to the bottom of the Third. How has claussen looked?

[Falls City Beer]

:laugh:

The difference in opinions on FCB's and OSU's posts in regards to BC's pitching peformance is a contrast in optimist and pessimist, if ever there was one.

Yeah, and what's sad is I really like Brandon's ability and believe the kid can have a major league career. You should hear what I say about guys I don't think highly of.

[OSURedLeg]

Yeah, and what's sad is I really like Brandon's ability and believe the kid can have a major league career. You should hear what I say about guys I don't think highly of.

[insert] Aurilia :mooner:

[OSURedLeg]

Larue walks

[Tony Cloninger]

FCB--- i have bee here since 2001....i have seen your thoughts on some of our beloved Reds. :laugh: AND...i usually agree with 90% of them too.


Gallen.....ask FCB and OSU how he looks....you will get 2 different answers. :thumbup:

[OSURedLeg]

EdE flies out to RF. 1 down with Larue on 1st

[flyer85]

Another Braves pitcher that is the opposite of "pitch to contact".

[Gallen5862]

you are correct Tony Cloninger.

[CTA513]

Freel singles in a run.

1-0 Good Guys.

[OSURedLeg]

:laugh:

To me - Claussen looks pretty good out there, and SO FAR the scoreboard would agree with me. But you'll need to check back later to see if that holds true for the rest of the game ;)

[OSURedLeg]

Aurilia would have hit a home run there if he was in Freel's shoes

[Gallen5862]

Freel with a rbi single. 1-0 Reds.

[Reds Nd2]

Aurilia would have hit a home run there if he was in Freel's shoes

He would have had the veteran presence to be standing at 2B right now.

[M2]

LaRue might be the fastest catcher in baseball these days. He doesn't steal bases, but not too many of his peers would have scored on that Freel single.

[OSURedLeg]

FeLo grounds out to 3rd to end the inning. Ramirez is really doing a nice job keeping the ball down.

[OSURedLeg]

LaRue might be the fastest catcher in baseball these days. He doesn't steal bases, but not too many of his peers would have scored on that Freel single.

He really does have great speed for the position. But is Kendel still pretty fast, or has he slowed down in recent years? Other than him, I can't really think of a catcher that's got very good wheels.

[OSURedLeg]

Francoeur singles to lead off the 4th.

[Reds Nd2]

That was sweet throw from his knees that Easy E just made.

[OSURedLeg]

A. Jones K's on a called 3rd strike. 1 down with a runner on 1st

[Matt700wlw]

It never fails...

[CTA513]

Claussen returns back to a Reds pitcher and serves up a homerun to the old fart.

[OSURedLeg]

The ageless wonder puts one over the fence. 2 - 1 braves

[flyer85]

kicked in the soft parts by the old timer.

[Tony Cloninger]

Good god....Juan Franco???

[OSURedLeg]

Betemit K's. 2 down

[Falls City Beer]

kicked in the soft parts by the old timer.

The guy has absolutely punished this team's pitching staff. One of the eternal mysteries.

[RedsMan3203]

Other then the one meat ball, seems like Claussen has pitched well.

[OSURedLeg]

Estrada grounds out to 3rd after a 9 pitch at-bat. He's forced Claussen to throw alot of pitches in both of his at-bats.

[Aronchis]

Make a mistake at GAB, odds are the ball may be jumpin, especially in the hot summer sun.

[OSURedLeg]

Claussen's line so far is really solid, but would be a heckuva lot better without that pitch to Franco:

4IP 4Ks 3H 0BB 2ER

[Gallen5862]

Can we trade RA for Julio Franco?

[CTA513]

Pena walks 2 days in a row. :eek:

[seven and chang]

when do bobby cox and leo mazzone go into the hall of fame? a million straight division titles have to count for something. no matter what happens in a season they just keep that team on top.

[flyer85]

Good god....Juan Franco???No ... but julio

[CTA513]

3 run homer by Dunn!

[Elam]

Dunn's 150th career home run.

[Falls City Beer]

Dunn. Release the Kraken.

[RedsMan3203]

A-Boooooooooooooomb!

[OSURedLeg]

Dunn!!!!!!

[Matt700wlw]

Adam Dunn drives in 3 runs off of a left hander.

...oh yeah, and Adam now is tied for the MLB HR lead...

[OSURedLeg]

Brilliant lineup by Narron putting Dunn in the 6-spot ;)

[MasonBuzz3]

anytime dunn is getting to hitter's counts lately it seems like the ball is ending up in the outfield seats. the man is on fire, he will hit 50 this year

[SteelSD]

That Dunn cat is pretty good I think. Might want to keep him around. I dunno. Just a thought.

[Gallen5862]

Dunn with a 3 run Adam bomb. 4-2 Reds. :thumbup: :party: :rockband:

[OnBaseMachine]

Adam Dunn: awesome.

150th career homerun in 2083 atbats(13.9 atbats).

[OSURedLeg]

EdE grounds out to end the inning. 4-2 Reds in the top of the 5th

[Tony Cloninger]

Nice...and off the old LH that he cannot hit. ;)


Thanks for the correction Oscar Gamble. :thumbup:

Juan....Julio....Jim.....whatever Franco......it all smells like a deal with the devil he made.

[flyer85]

after 2 nights of the Braves it is obvious that they are just the opposite of pitch to contact. They pick at the corners, rarely give in with a fastball over the plate, and if they walk somebody it is on to the next guy.

[OSURedLeg]

Langerhans out on the bunt attempt. 1 down

[OSURedLeg]

Ramirez grounds out to Freel. 2 down

[CTA513]

Hopefully the Reds will add on to the lead and not fall a sleep.

[flyer85]

Nice...and off the old LH that he cannot hit. ;)
I believe he is among the league leaders for HRs off of lefties

[curedsfan]

Is anyone else watching this game on MLB Direct TV? This color guy is beyond a homer. Maybe Chris and George could take a few notes????

[OSURedLeg]

Furcal pops out in foul territory to Casey. 4 - 2 Reds heading into the bottom of the 5th

[flyer85]

that was fast

[Sham]

I think it's sad that a legitimate great power hitter like Dunn will never hit the 70 that a steroid bloated Bonds and McGuire did. Seriously. He should have the opportunity at the record, and without roids I don't think he will.

[Gallen5862]

Lets offer Ra for Franco. If nothing else franco wouldn't beat us. We can get the veteren presence Dano wants. :) :thumbup:

[OnBaseMachine]

By the way, Dunn's SLG now sits at .600 even. OPSing .988.

[OSURedLeg]

That's just depressing Sham. I agree with you 100%, and it's just a d*mn shame the way Bonds is at the top of the record book even though he just plain cheated.

[Falls City Beer]

I think it's sad that a legitimate great power hitter like Dunn will never hit the 70 that a steroid bloated Bonds and McGuire did. Seriously. He should have the opportunity at the record, and without roids I don't think he will.

To which I say, so what? The steroid suspicion has not only besmirched the McGwire/Bonds records, it has cast a secondary glow on the "honest" accomplishments of guys like Junior and A-Rod and Ramirez.

[CTA513]

I think it's sad that a legitimate great power hitter like Dunn will never hit the 70 that a steroid bloated Bonds and McGuire did. Seriously. He should have the opportunity at the record, and without roids I don't think he will.

Dunn could have a longer more consistent career than the steriod boys.

[pedro]

Is anyone else watching this game on MLB Direct TV? This color guy is beyond a homer. Maybe Chris and George could take a few notes????

It's Tom Paciorek (sp?) and (I believe) Ernie Johnson Jr. IIRC

Paciorek sucks, Johson is ok. They're the fox south dudes, which is always on wednesdays in Atl. Painful.

[flyer85]

BTW, Dunn has hit 3 more HRs off of lefties than either Jones or Lee

[RedsMan3203]

Alright, fast inning like wise for us..

Meat of the order coming up for ATL -- lets get them in order.

[PuffyPig]

I believe he is among the league leaders for HRs off of lefties

He's hitting .195 with an .804 OPS vs. LH pitchers, with 9 HR's.

But he's been doing much better lately.

FYI, Casey is hitting .343 with an .828 OPS vs. LH pitching.

[Aronchis]

Whoa, Brandon, whoa hoss..............

[CTA513]

Ramirez has thrown 72 pitches and half of them are balls.

:eek:

[Falls City Beer]

Brandon's kept the ball down since the homer. And, well, the results have been better...so far.

[paintmered]

Score and inning por favor?

[OSURedLeg]

Francoeur singles with 1 out

[CTA513]

Score and inning por favor?

6th inning 4-2 Reds.

[flyer85]

He's hitting .195 with an .804 OPS vs. LH pitchers, with 9 HR's.

But he's been doing much better lately.

FYI, Casey is hitting .343 with an .828 OPS vs. LH pitching.the point is his power really doesn't drop-off against LH pitching. And historically his splits were relatively even(this year being an exception).

[OSURedLeg]

4 - 2 Reds in the top of the 6th

[KronoRed]

Would any other team put the co-league leader for homers in the 6 spot even if it was a leftie?

;)

[flyer85]

Ramirez has thrown 72 pitches and half of them are balls.

:eek:Braves love that "pitch to contact".

[Reds Nd2]

Score and inning por favor?

4-2 good guys. One out in the top of the 6th.

[OSURedLeg]

Jones HBP, 2nd time it's happened to him this game. Franco then grounds out. 2 down with runners on 2nd & 3rd

[RedsMan3203]

I don't like those 2 hit batters thou.

[flyer85]

Would any other team put the co-league leader for homers in the 6 spot even if it was a leftie?

;)I don't mind them batting him 6th against LH pitching. The Reds do have some other guys that can swing the lumber.

[flyer85]

critical ab here. Don't give in Brandon, you have a base open

[CTA513]

Jones HBP, 2nd time it's happened to him this game. Franco then grounds out. 2 down with runners on 2nd & 3rd

Atleast he cant hit a homer if he gets hit by the pitch. :evil:

[OSURedLeg]

Betemit flies out to end the inning, Claussen does well to get out of a small jam. 4 - 2 Reds into the bottom of the 6th

[Tony Cloninger]

They could not double up Cesar Franco?

With all the runners this staff puts on....you figure they lead the leauge in DP induced.

[RedsMan3203]

Inning over, time for our meat to come up... Lets get a few more.

[M2]

FCB has used the words "kraken" and "besmirched" in this thread. Top that Marty Brennaman.

And while I'm on the subject of announcers, did anyone getting the Braves feed notice the Atlanta announcers carping about Claussen getting a low outside called third strike against Andruw Jones a few innings back?

Do they have anything to say about how Larue was up with bases loaded yesterday and should have been walked but didnt get walked because the UMP made a horrible call?

[RedsMan3203]

Basehit JR. :)

[flyer85]

time for WMP to go yard

[KearnsyEars]

Adam Dunn: awesome.

150th career homerun in 2083 atbats(13.9 atbats).

anyone see how long it went? I have MLB ticket and i don't have it.

[paintmered]

4 - 2 Reds in the top of the 6th

Thanks :)

[KearnsyEars]

man, i wish i was at the park tonite

[OnBaseMachine]

anyone see how long it went? I have MLB ticket and i don't have it.

I saw the highlight of it on ESPN... It landed beside the smokestacks.

[CTA513]

Pena walks again!!

3 walks in 2 days for the unwalkable Pena!

[RedsMan3203]

Pena Walks! :beerme:

[Aronchis]

Pena and Dunn have switched bodies

[CTA513]

man, i wish i was at the park tonite

I wish they showed every home game on FSN.

[OnBaseMachine]

Pena walks twice in the same game. :eek:

[Gallen5862]

WMP walks runners on First and Second.

[RedsMan3203]

Mister DP is up.

[KearnsyEars]

he hits no doubters doesnt he

[CTA513]

Oh my bases loaded for Dunn.

[KronoRed]

man, i wish i was at the park tonite
It's almost 9 and it's 94 out with a heat index of 97

Be happy where you are ;)

[gitrdunn44]

Grand slam time.

[OSURedLeg]

Casey singles to Load them up for Dunn!

[RedsMan3203]

Casey basehit... Bases are Loaded for the Big Booooooooooy.

[KronoRed]

A sac fly would be better OR! a run scoring double play

;)

[Aronchis]

Hey, Casey may be close to falling below Rice's pace again!!!!!

[CTA513]

Dunn doubles in 2 runs!

6-2 Good Guys!!!!

[Gallen5862]

FSN teased me in NC. They showed the braves report then said enjoy the game. then it was blackedout.

[gitrdunn44]

Ball 1, it says run scoring play on gameday.

[KronoRed]

Dunn :clap:

[RedsMan3203]

Oh, I'll take the 2 RBI Double by Dunn :)

[gitrdunn44]

Double 2 runs in.

[OSURedLeg]

Dunn Doubles to drive in 2! If it wasn't Casey in front of him, it woulda brought in 3.

[Reds Nd2]

This is a drunkecated guess based on incomplete data from ESPN.com, but Adam Dunn is now 391 on the all-time HR list.

[flyer85]

only a double. he aint that good.

[KronoRed]

Only a single and triple away from the cycle :D

[bellhead]

Man Dunn sure is disappointing only a double...

[KearnsyEars]

dunn is so on fire.

[bellhead]

I wanna see the triple Krono, that for Dunn would be more impressive than a homer..

[Falls City Beer]

I can't believe Cox let Ramirez face Dunn. That's very un-Braves-like. I would have gotten muscle-brain Farnsworth to blow some gas in that spot.

[Matt700wlw]

Don't trade him.

[KearnsyEars]

if he keeps this up he might honestly be in the MVP race, he wont win but could get some votes right?

[Tony Cloninger]

Bad Fundementals would be proud.

[OSURedLeg]

Dunn is shooting up the RBI list right now. And we all know how important that stat is to many of the RZ veterans ;)

[Falls City Beer]

if he keeps this up he might honestly be in the MVP race, he wont win but could get some votes right?

From where I sit it's Dunn and Lee. Flip a coin.

[Aronchis]

Any pitcher that walks Pena twice, is having a really really bad night.

[RedsMan3203]

LaRue up, Brower into face him.

[OnBaseMachine]

Was that close to being a grand slam?

[CTA513]

Dunn is shooting up the RBI list right now. And we all know how important that stat is to many of the RZ veterans ;)

Hes making a run for player of the month for August.

:beerme:

[KearnsyEars]

sign him long term

[RedsMan3203]

From where I sit it's Dunn and Lee. Flip a coin.

What about Albert Pujols?????

[KearnsyEars]

From where I sit it's Dunn and Lee. Flip a coin.

and a guy named COUGH albert pujols

or clemens

[FlyingPig]

I just spent 5 whole minutes explaining a sac fly to my wife..knowing Dunner would come through right then...

That boy just don't wanna hit a sac fly..

[KearnsyEars]

nonetheless we all agree it would be SENSELESS to trade our dunn away or not keep him here when we do have a competitor in place

[CTA513]

Wild pitch Casey scores.

7-2 Good Guys.

[RedsMan3203]

W00t, we score'n runs all kinds of ways.... Wild Pitch Casey in, Dunner to 3rd.

[CTA513]

Encarnacion singles in a run.

8-2 Reds.

[Gallen5862]

We have to keep Dunn.

[RedsMan3203]

Base hit for Easy-E, Pay back time booooooys.

[KearnsyEars]

score dunn, i need your run for fantasy bb

[Caveat Emperor]

That Encarnacion kid can play a little bit :clap:

[flyer85]

Any pitcher that walks Pena twice, is having a really really bad night.maybe WMP has decided he is going to make a pitcher throw at least one strike

[OSURedLeg]

EdE singles in Dunn to make it 8 - 2. Just another nail into their coffin for the night :thumbup:

[RedsMan3203]

Claussen stays in to sac bunt EdE over...

[Falls City Beer]

Yeah, and Pujols.

But Clemens? No way. Pitchers already have their own toy. I'm allergic to the notion that any one pitcher can be a league's MVP.

[KearnsyEars]

EdE singles in Dunn to make it 8 - 2. Just another nail into their coffin for the night :thumbup:

There's no such thing as a nail in the coffin with this group. Remember STl a couple months ago?

[CTA513]

Oh my how many times will they send Encarnacion home just to get thrown out?

:bang:

[KearnsyEars]

Yeah, and Pujols.

But Clemens? No way. Pitchers already have their own toy. I'm allergic to the notion that any one pitcher can be a league's MVP.

As am I, but still has been discussed in the media.

[RedsMan3203]

That Encarnacion kid can play a little bit :clap:

Maybe he could learn to run a lil faster!!! :p:

[PuffyPig]

I would only pick a pitcher for thr CYA if he had a truly tremendous season, and there wasn't really a worthy hitter for the award.

[KearnsyEars]

If we ever had a good team Dunn would be an MVP candidate right now, which is what drives me nuts

[westofyou]

Dunn is shooting up the RBI list right now. And we all know how important that stat is to many of the RZ veterans ;)

Triple Crown stats are the horse that pull the bandwagon, behind that runs the mediots.

It's the pop music of baseball.

[TheBurn]

Was EE out by a lot?

dunn not KRISPY tonight.

[KearnsyEars]

You all know if we had even close to a winning record, with dunn coming on strong right now we'd have talk in the media (Who piggybacks the hot guy) all over him for MVP darkhorse

[OSURedLeg]

There's no such thing as a nail in the coffin with this group. Remember STl a couple months ago?

Please note that Danny Graves now pitches for the Mets.

[traderumor]

Can't Narron put to rest this nonsense of dropping Dunn against a lefty?

[Reds Nd2]

Oh my how many times will they send Encarnacion home just to get thrown out?

:bang:

I'm not sure Berry sent him. I think Easy E went on his own that time. I could be wrong, as the replays already had him around third base.

[KearnsyEars]

Dunn is really helping my fantasy team out tonite :)

I have had him for every MLB at bat on a fantasy team of mine....proud of that.

Also would like to say this is my 1000 post, glad it goes to my favorite red ever.

[OSURedLeg]

Triple Crown stats are the horse that pull the bandwagon, behind that runs the mediots.

It's the pop music of baseball.

:laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

I'm just glad I got a good quote from you out of that. Definitely a devil's advocate comment. And on a different note, I hate pop music too. Top 40 radio stations are air wave pollution :mooner:

[Reds Nd2]

Was EE out by a lot?

From here to there, so to speak. Francoeur threw a one hop strike to nail him.

[dsmith421]

Aaron Boone burns old teammates with bases-loaded single. Tribe 5-4 over NY in the fifth.

Nice to see some good news for the Boone family this week.

[KearnsyEars]

Indians just put a heck of a whoopin on the Yanks on ESPN. I like the tribe, and any team that beats the yanks. Tribe has good character this year.

[TheBurn]

Thanks Nd2...

From here to there, so to speak. Francoeur threw a one hop strike to nail him.Jeffy has a great throwing arm. He will be a star in time

[M2]

BTW, Adam Dunn w/RISP is now .259/.457/.659 with 47 RBIs.

[TheBurn]

My Gameday says injury delay... wot up?

[oneupper]

Bat cracked...home plate ump got hit

[SteelSD]

Delay due to injured umpire. That looked like it hurt.

[Reds Nd2]

Thanks Nd2...

No problem. Nice avatar BTW. That's pretty cool.

[KearnsyEars]

hurt bad?

[TheBurn]

No problem. Nice avatar BTW. That's pretty cool.
Thanks!

I sure hope Narron's got the bully up and working. Cuz Claussen's at 102 pitches and taking a LOOONG breather in between pitches. The muscles are seizing as we speak.

[flyer85]

BTW, Adam Dunn w/RISP is now .259/.457/.659 with 47 RBIs.it can't be, that's better than his overall numbers. BF might be slipping the noose on about now.

[oneupper]

hurt bad?

He'll live. But first base ump takes over at the plate.

Looks like he got hit on the hand and the leg. Hand might be broken (don't think so, tho).

[creek14]

I don't know why BF goes missing whenever Adam is en fuego - I stick around whenever he's slumping. :cool:

[Reds Nd2]

Jeffy has a great throwing arm. He will be a star in time

After seeing that throw, I agree. Wish he'd learn to take a walk though.

[RedsMan3203]

Great -- a new ump, and new strike zones.

[KearnsyEars]

glad to hear blue is ok.

[Puffy]

I would only pick a pitcher for thr CYA if he had a truly tremendous season, and there wasn't really a worthy hitter for the award.

Pitchers always win the CYA because its for the best pitcher of the year.

[RedsMan3203]

furcal basehit

[Falls City Beer]

Well, didn't see that coming. :angry:

[flyer85]

After seeing that throw, I agree. Wish he'd learn to take a walk though.He still needs some more seasoning in the minors. He is definitely a hacker at the moment, that's OK when you're hot.

[CTA513]

Weathers is warming up.

[Reds Nd2]

Thanks!

Where did you get it from? That would make a nice wallpaper. I'm getting a little tired of my current one.

[CTA513]

Giles singles in a run.

8-3 Reds.

Claussen pulled, Weathers coming in to pitch.

[Falls City Beer]

Why? Why? Why?

[RedsMan3203]

RBI Basehit for Giles --- 8-3 Reds.

[KearnsyEars]

braves strike back with a few hits, I'm tellin you i'd like a few more runs
