Reds-7 Cardinals-0 FINAL. 1 game back

[Matt700wlw]

Milton's 97th pitch....7 scoreless innings.

Give him 1 more?

[Big Klu]

Milton at 96 pitches.

5 hits, 0 r/ER, 0 BB, 3 K's.

Who is this #22, and what did he do with our Eric Milton? :D

[Matt700wlw]

Who is this #22, and what did he do with our Eric Milton? :D

You're looking at him. :beerme: :beerme: :beerme:

[Big Klu]

McCracken pinch-hitting for Milton.

[GoReds]

Milton's season ERA down to 4.14 with fewer hits than innings pitched. :eek:

[RedsMan3203]

QM to pinch hit.... Wow Jerry.. You okay?

[Matt700wlw]

Who gets the 8th?

:weathers: :coffey:

[George Foster]

Milton 0 walks in last 22 innings..holy moly...do we have another starter?

[Kc61]

Q, no reason to swing at all those bad pitches. Next time you lead off an inning, make the pitcher throw a strike. Thank you.

[MrCinatit]

George Grand :luvu: :luvu: :luvu: the Cardinals.
sometimes, I think we need a "George making out with Edmonds" smiley.

[reds44]

Who gets the 8th?

:weathers: :coffey:
Mays

:p:

[CTA513]

QM to pinch hit.... Wow Jerry.. You okay?

Hes usually the first guy Narron goes to.
I dont think it would have made much difference if he just let Milton hit.

:laugh:

[Matt700wlw]

Milton never smiles.

[harangatang]

Hes usually the first guy Narron goes to.
I dont think it would have made much difference if he just let Milton hit.

:laugh:Uncle Milty had 2 homeruns last year, McCracken only had 1.

[Matt700wlw]

Suddenly, I remember it's a 5-0 game...no reason to bring in Coffey unless needed.

[KronoRed]

Mays

:p:
We want them to win? :help:

[Gallen5862]

Can we trade Grande for a broadcaster to be named later?:)

[westofyou]

Milton never smiles.
And he looks like an extra in a bad pirate movie.

[George Foster]

Milton never smiles.

good...I think he feels he still has something to proove. I want him feeling that way for the rest of the season.

[westofyou]

Can we trade Grande for a broadcaster to be named later?:)
2nd day in a row of getting the Cardinals announcer for me... not exactly steak, but it's also not ham smothered in fruit.

[RedsMan3203]

Hammond in to pitch.

[Matt700wlw]

Hammond....good call.

duh.

[Big Klu]

Can we trade Grande for a broadcaster to be named later?:)

Trade George Grande to the Cardinals for Jack Buck. (Yes, I know he's dead, but I still think the Reds would get the better end of the deal.)

[Matt700wlw]

good...I think he feels he still has something to proove. I want him feeling that way for the rest of the season.

In the dugout, you wouldn't think he pitched very well.

Whatever works!

[Big Klu]

Chris Hammond ERA-Meter: 4.58

Chris Hammond ERA-Meter: 4.50

Chris Hammond ERA-Meter: 4.43

[Matt700wlw]

Hammond's already retired the Cards

[Kc61]

A lot of words being eaten about Mr. Hammond (mine included).

[reds44]

Hammond has been the man lately.


3 more outs boys.

[George Foster]

Hammonds still has time to catch the senior citizen's special at Shoney's!

[Matt700wlw]

A lot of words being eaten about Mr. Hammond (mine included).

I'm with you.

[RedsMan3203]

123 thats what I like to see.

[GoReds]

Through 8...

Cardinals pitchers - 142 pitches
Reds pitchers - 108 pitches

[Matt700wlw]

Through 8...

Cardinals pitchers - 142 pitches
Reds pitchers - 108 pitches

What is going on here?

I can get used to this!! :beerme:

[CTA513]

Hammond only threw 8 pitches, I wonder if they will send him back out in the 9th.

[Matt700wlw]

Hammond only threw 8 pitches, I wonder if they will send him back out in the 9th.

If not, they would be wasting a pitcher.

[reds44]

Griffey has walked 3 times!!!!

:eek:

[RedsMan3203]

Another Walk for JR.

[reds44]

Dunn!!!!!!

6-0!!!!

[Matt700wlw]

Dunn drives in his 3rd run of the game.

:shocked:

[RedsMan3203]

Ken Griffey JR scores from 1st on a RBI Double from Adam Dunn.

[Big Klu]

Griffey walks for the third time tonight! (and I just noticed his average is now at .298!)

Dunn doubles to left center! Griffey scores from first! 6-0 Redlegs!

[westofyou]

Griffey has walked 3 times!!!!

:eek:I like that, means they're scared of him...

[reds44]

Berry should have sent him when EE got hurt, not there.

oh well.

[George Foster]

wow first to home with a five run lead....glad he's not hurt. We need him in the line-up...everyday.

[RedsMan3203]

EE listed Day-to-Day

[CTA513]

Dunn drives in his 3rd run of the game.

:shocked:


Dunn made a deal with the Devil.

06/06/06

:evil:

[BoydsOfSummer]

Dunn driving guys in from first tonight sure isn't helping that RISP bull-shoo-shoo.

[Matt700wlw]

Ken Griffey JR scores from 1st on a RBI Double from Adam Dunn.


Someone forgot to tell him that he's slow, has lost a step, and doesn't run hard

:D

[Big Klu]

Does anyone here wonder if Cardinals pitcher Brad Thompson has started shaving yet? :D

[reds44]

EE listed Day-to-Day
That is a relief.

[Matt700wlw]

Weathers will pitch the 9th.

I guess he could use the work, but Hammond only threw 8 pitches

[GoReds]

Dunn made a deal with the Devil.

06/06/06

:evil:

Figured it was Milton who did that.

Maybe it was a package deal.

[Falls City Beer]

What happened to Encarnacion?

[RedsMan3203]

Hatte doubles in Dunn.

7-0

[reds44]

Bengals-7
Rams-0

[George Foster]

Are we really playing the Cards??? they don't look so good. really missing Sanders??

[Matt700wlw]

What happened to Encarnacion?

Mild ankle sprain....shouldn't be a huge deal.

[westofyou]

Weathers will pitch the 9th.

I guess he could use the work, but Hammond only threw 8 pitches
Repeat after me.. Everyone has a role and role for everyone, Everyone has a role and role for everyone , Everyone has a role and role for everyone, Everyone has a role and role for everyone.

[Tony Cloninger]

George Foster.... I only read the funny and witty posts...like yours. ;)


Of course....Hammond will not go out there for the 9th....that is why they have 12 pitchers, even though they do not really need 12 pitchers this year. So they can have an excuse to have White/Burns/and now Mays pitch.
Getting rid of White means not having to always see Q coming up to PH.


I thought Griffey could not run anymore......from 1st to home on a 2B???

[flyer85]

Gosh Dunn has 3 RBIs yet does not have a hit tonight with RISP. Do they still count?

[Puffy]

I like that, means they're scared of him...

Which is how Junior gets the lionshare of his walks and why I, for one, was never worried about the supposed lack of walks most were lamenting just one week ago.

Junior is Junior - he was always gonna end the year with an OBP of .365 or better.

[Matt700wlw]

Are we really playing the Cards??? they don't look so good. really missing Sanders??

I believe they really miss some guy named Pujols...I don't know much about it him. I hear he's a pretty decent player.

[KronoRed]

Repeat after me.. Everyone has a role and role for everyone, Everyone has a role and role for everyone , Everyone has a role and role for everyone, Everyone has a role and role for everyone.
How many times does Narron say that when he wakes up each day?

[KronoRed]

Gosh Dunn has 3 RBIs yet does not have a hit tonight with RISP. Do they still count?
Nope, they are worthless and soft.

[flyer85]

Repeat after me.. Everyone has a role and role for everyone, Everyone has a role and role for everyone , Everyone has a role and role for everyone, Everyone has a role and role for everyone.I always though it was a roll for everyone and everyone has a roll

[Matt700wlw]

Repeat after me.. Everyone has a role and role for everyone, Everyone has a role and role for everyone , Everyone has a role and role for everyone, Everyone has a role and role for everyone.

I'm not so much all about that all the time.

[Big Klu]

Dunn is in scoring position when he steps to the plate.

[BoydsOfSummer]

Phillips reminds me of Omar Epps as Willie Mays Hays in Major League II for some reason.

[reds44]

Dunn is in scoring position when he steps to the plate.
That sounds like a Denorfia joke, but actually that is the truth.

BP singles.

[OldXOhio]

As the Reds lay the wood to these guys, it reminds me of what he STL broadcast team alluded to earlier: NL Central teams don't have much sympathy for the Cardinals at this point.

Pour it on boys.

[KronoRed]

Hmm..a roll.

[RedsMan3203]

What is the pitching match up tomorrow night?

[Matt700wlw]

Phillips reminds me of Omar Epps as Willie Mays Hays in Major League II for some reason.

I thought Westley Snipes was Willie Mays Hays...

[reds44]

As the Reds continue to pour it on, it reminds me of what he STL broadcast team alluded to earlier: NL Central teams don't have much sympathy for the Cardinals at this point.

Lay the wood to 'em boys.
Yep

keep pounding em!

[Big Klu]

Should the Reds send Phillips?

[Matt700wlw]

What is the pitching match up tomorrow night?

Harang vs Mulder?

Harang I know for sure...

[reds44]

I thought Westley Snipes was Willie Mays Hays...
In the 1st one Snipes was.

[BoydsOfSummer]

Omar Epps played the character in the second one.

[westofyou]

Which is how Junior gets the lionshare of his walks and why I, for one, was never worried about the supposed lack of walks most were lamenting just one week ago.

Junior is Junior - he was always gonna end the year with an OBP of .365 or better.
Well it did stretch into last year... as far as .365 his OB% the last 3 years is a hair below that. I'll take it as long as he doesn't have to go first to home too much.. that's just scary.

[RedsMan3203]

Harrang vs Ponson.

We have a good chance to take all 3.

[Big Klu]

That sounds like a Denorfia joke, but actually that is the truth.

I know. I wasn't joking.

[Matt700wlw]

Harrang vs Ponson.

We have a good chance to take all 3.

That's right....I knew that.

[CougarQuest]

How come you can hear crickets in the background at this game?

[Falls City Beer]

Kill.

[Matt700wlw]

Junior got his 8000th at bat tonight.

8,000. :eek:

[RedsMan3203]

How come you can hear crickets in the background at this game?


Your Window open?

[Big Klu]

Kearns batting for Hammond. Double-Oh warming up in the pen.

[George Foster]

Is that White in the Bull pin? Is Narron on Meth?

[KronoRed]

Run the score up..Kill em.

[Puffy]

Well it did stretch into last year... as far as .365 his OB% the last 3 years is a hair below that. I'll take it as long as he doesn't have to go first to home too much.. that's just scary.

Yeah, but two of those years were "lost" injury years - last year it was .369, which is probably right where it will settle this year, although I believe it could end higher.

And I agree - with a 5 run lead I might of stopped him at third, just for all the hearts and minds out there.

[KronoRed]

Narron wants it to be close..running it up isn't baseball guy like

[Big Klu]

FCB, I must congratulate you on a significant upgrade to your avatar!

[George Foster]

Junior got his 8000th at bat tonight.

8,000. :eek:

I'd say it's safe to say that OBP is set in stone!

[KronoRed]

FCB, I must congratulate you on a significant upgrade to your avatar!
I almost didn't recognize him

[Matt700wlw]

Rick White to throw in the 9th

[reds44]

Oh no, White is.

Don't leave because this one ain't over.

[George Foster]

There has to be a scout looking at White tonight. Right?

[RedsMan3203]

Risk White is in.....

[Matt700wlw]

There has to be a scout looking at White tonight. Right?

Is he drunk?

[Big Klu]

Kearns stays in the game in RF, batting 9th.

Freel moves from RF to CF.

White now pitching, batting 3rd.

[reds44]

Juan out

[Big Klu]

Rick White reminds me of a right-handed Phil Norton. :eek:

[reds44]

2 out

[George Foster]

Kearns stays in the game in RF, batting 9th.

Who's on first? Sorry I could not resist it!

[RedsMan3203]

And this one belongs to the Reds!

[reds44]

And this one belongs to the Reds!!!!!


1 game out

[Big Klu]

Eric Milton, Chris Hammond, and Rick White combine on a five-hit shutout!

[Gallen5862]

"And this one belongs to the Reds."

[George Foster]

One game out of 1st.....6 wins on a 9 game road trip, with one to play. We are liget.

[KronoRed]

Fear the Reds

[Big Klu]

Who's on first? Sorry I could not resist it!

Heeyyyyy Abbbotttttt!!!!!!

[reds44]

Eric Milton, Chris Hammond, and Rick White combine on a five-hit shutout!
Never

Bring out the brooms.....may be time to sweep away some bird poop

[Falls City Beer]

Hammer looks like he just stepped out of a mine. A mine full of perverts.

[George Foster]

They will replay the highlights of this game with 10 minutes left on baseball tonight...brutal.

[Big Klu]

Be right back...I'm gonna lurk on a Cardinals board and see what they are saying! :D

[George Foster]

Hammer looks like he just stepped out of a mine. A mine full of perverts.

[Matt700wlw]

Then Gammons will blather on about how no Pujols and Edmonds is the only reason for the struggles of the Cardinals are having this series without crediting the Reds at all.

This must pain that man.

:)

Sarah Silverman. I have an adult crush on her.

Hmm..a roll.

looks like a Pepperidge Farms Dinner Roll :roll: :KoolAid:

[flyer85]

I guess we also learned that Narron feels safe using White to protect a 7 run lead but not a 5 run lead

[Matt700wlw]

Did I hear that right? 30 hits already for the Reds in this series?

Good lord!!!

[George Foster]

reds are now 6 games over .500 on the road. 10 overall. wow.

[flyer85]

Sarah Silverman. I have an adult crush on her.is that anything like an Orange Crush?

[flyer85]

Dude..I got to keep a dictionary next to my computer to understand your posts. Your vocabulary is incredible.just make sure you keep your distance

[KronoRed]

You looked it up too huh?

[VR]

Carpenter vs. Milton = no chance.

That said, the Reds have often done very well in games like this.

Milty can fall off at any time, but color me as optimistic about him as I've been in 13 months if he throws out a quality start tonight. His location and velocity have been much better all year, with 1.5 game exception. His era minus that blowup start is well under three. I'm optimistic, but realize he's a bottle of nitro out there at all times.


By the way, Jason LaRue? Let's hope a trade is announced soon.



Anyone optimistic about Milty yet?

With the blowup start 4/18
45.2 Innings
44 Hits
8 BB's
4.14 earnie

Without it
41.1 Innings
36 Hits
5 BB's
2.61 earnie
(4 dingers)

[RedsMan3203]

Thats 2 shut outs at St. Louis this year.....

When was the last time we blanked St. Louis twice in one year?

[WebScorpion]

Anyone optimistic about Milty yet?



I think if you look it up, I was optimistic about Milton in April. I was sure he'd have a good season and was wondering what Arroyo would do. <HA!> I guess you can't call them all. ;)
:thumbup:

[GAC]

George Grande quote of the night: "whoever rules the central division, usually wins the central division." Thats deep.

It was funny, but I think what he was referring to was a team's win-loss record with divisional opponents. And the Reds are putting a hurt on them. ;)

[OldXOhio]

Well it did stretch into last year... as far as .365 his OB% the last 3 years is a hair below that. I'll take it as long as he doesn't have to go first to home too much.. that's just scary.

Why oh why was he waved home in a 5-0 game, B9, 0 outs? Think there'd be any banter in Redsland today had he gotten hurt in a play at the plate, esp. after the next guy up doubles?
