7-5 vs Brew Crew -- NEED A WIN!!

[NDRed]

I think Coffey has the stuff to be a closer....eventually....he obviously is not there yet. I think we have about run through all of our big league options and we are notgoing to make a trade for a closer. We may get help, but not a closer.

Wish I had a better idea than running Todd out there every day.

[MWM]

Kearns has always been a very smart ballplayer.

[Heath]

That's called using your head

Stupid World Cup.

[RedsMan3203]

Okay...

So... We talked about the Wows, what what the heck, what the frick is Jerry thinking?, why is weathers still in there ect?

Add in Wow, how the heck did that happen, with kearns stealing 2nd and the ball hitting him in the foot so he advances to 3rd.

[Tornon]

LaRue dribbles one to short, run can't score. 2 out

[KronoRed]

A nubber.

[TheBurn]

For some reason, I can't imagine George french kissing anything or anybody...

[Tornon]

Ross pinch hitting

[Heath]

Here we go, Dave Ross is our savior.

[reds44]

LaRue is worthless!!

[George Foster]

Why not pinch hit Ross for Larue?

[TheBigLebowski]

Here's the call - SUICIDE SQUEEZE.

Yost will never expect such stupidity twice.

[KronoRed]

Why the heck not use Ross instead of LaRue?

[reds44]

Why not pinch hit Ross for Larue?
Who hits for the pitcher then?

[MWM]

Stupid World Cup.

Hey now! Greatest Sporting Even in the World!!!!!

[RedsMan3203]

Expect Ross for the squeeze.

[Matt700wlw]

Why did he attempt a bunt?

Swiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiing!!

[KronoRed]

You know his story

[oneupper]

LaRue dribbles one to short, run can't score. 2 out


And there is another reason why Narron went with the squeeze...LaRue has a knack of doing that.

[reds44]

Here's the call - SUICIDE SQUEEZE.

Yost will never expect such stupidity twice.
He didn't expect it once.

Still didn't work.

That is why it's called stupidity.

[OldXOhio]

wonder if the suicide is on again?

Nope.

As Harold Reynolds said when the failed suicide occured earlier:

"Like 1 run is going to hold up with the Reds bullpen"

[Heath]

Esteban Yan to pitch the 11th....

:yikes:

[MWM]

LaRue is worthless!!

A littel harsh, don't ya' think? Baseball is hard. Very hard.

[RedsMan3203]

Expect Ross for the squeeze.

Now, the bunt is off.

[KronoRed]

BOOooooo

[GAC]

called strike 3

[Tornon]

Ross Ks looking at 3 pitches, 4-4 middle of 11

[flyer85]

Larue swung at 2 balls

[OldXOhio]

Hey now! Greatest Sporting Even in the World!!!!!

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

soccer make me sleepy

[KronoRed]

Yan? :help:

[Heath]

Hey now! Greatest Sporting Even in the World!!!!!

Not to be meant as a slam ... just Kearns using his head on the ball...

[flyer85]

If Yan comes in that ought to end it.

[Caveat Emperor]

A littel harsh, don't ya' think? Baseball is hard. Very hard.

And so are the fans, apparently.

[reds44]

How many chances can 1 team blow?

Brewers will win this game in the 11th

[MWM]

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

As most of the rest of the world says about baseball.

[Matt700wlw]

*sigh*

That was awful.


*sigh*

Here comes Yan

[WVRedsFan]

Yan? :help:

Prepare for the worst.:bang:

[TheBigLebowski]

Why not PH Ross for LaUseless?

To hell with it. Narron really does stink. We're 4 games over .500 at this point in the season DESPITE Narron, not because of him. Lousy manager.

[reds44]

*sigh*

That was awful.


*sigh*

Here comes Yan
Why not Standridge?

[kaldaniels]

Ladies and Gentleman, the bench has been cashed out for the evening.

[MWM]

Not to be meant as a slam ... just Kearns using his head on the ball...

I know. Just being light-hearted.

[George Foster]

Who hits for the pitcher then?

Arroyo or harang...seriously. I know Ross struck out, but with one out, who has the better chance of hitting a fly ball? LaRue or Ross?

[flyer85]

Jerry really has a woody for the vets. Yan will probably come in giving up walks and dingers (cause that's what he does)

[GAC]

Some one hurry up and win this.... its way past my bedtime!

[Tornon]

Yan in to pitch

[reds44]

Ladies and Gentleman, the bench has been cashed out for the evening.
Nope.


Bronson :evil:

[Falls City Beer]

The game will end here.

[KronoRed]

How many chances can 1 team blow?

Brewers will win this game in the 11th
Hey OBM :devil:

[reds44]

Oh man.


12 IP, 4 HRs for Yan.

[Matt700wlw]

Nope.


Bronson :evil:


Chambliss :evil:

[Gallen5862]

Did Ross come in to catch or did Larue stay in the game?

[Tornon]

Miller flies to Griffey at the edge of the warning track, 1 out

[GAC]

FO to Jr 1 down

[Matt700wlw]

This is a marathon game...thankfully these don't happen very often :D

[flyer85]

Oh man.


12 IP, 4 HRs for Yan.his calling card

[reds44]

"All of the runs for the Brewers came in the 3rd expect for the run in the 9th"

Wow George.

[WVRedsFan]

Oh man.


12 IP, 4 HRs for Yan.

Yep. That's the man for the job. One swing and over.

Who taught Narron baseball?

[Tornon]

LaRue still catching

[CTA513]

Its sad how many times this year the Reds have left runners on third with less than 2 outs.

:thumbdown

[Heath]

I'm almost hiding from the TV Here.

[KronoRed]

Who taught Narron baseball?
Bob Boone? :evil:

[OldXOhio]

As most of the rest of the world says about baseball.

Good thing we know better, right? ;)

[KronoRed]

I'm almost hiding from the TV Here.
Don't hurt its feelings

[Gallen5862]

I would have Put Ross into catch.

[RBA]

11th inning. Should of kept the fresh catcher in. Especially a fresh catcher that can get a hit once in awhile.

[GAC]

Yep. That's the man for the job. One swing and over.

Who taught Narron baseball?

Everybody in our BP is "one swing and it's over"..... where have you been? :evil:

[KronoRed]

I would have Put Ross into catch.
Same

[Tornon]

Gross pops to Freel, 2 out

[WVRedsFan]

Bob Boone? :evil:

OK if Narron is Dave Miley Lite, would that make Narron Boone-Miley Lite Lite?

[GAC]

Feel threatens Lopez and makes the catch! :lol:

[reds44]

I would have Put Ross into catch.
LaRue is older, he stays in.

[Tornon]

Cirillo doubles off the wall in left

[reds44]

Yan tried to give up a homer, but to no avail.

[captainmorgan07]

they way marty started the call i thought it was gone

[KronoRed]

What can Hume say? "Don't be you"?

[Falls City Beer]

A home run without the elevation from Cirillo.

[TheBurn]

What can Hume say? "Don't be you"? :laugh:

[flyer85]

they way marty started the call i thought it was gonehe probably did too.

[LoganBuck]

I'm almost hiding from the TV Here.

I am going on strike I refuse to watch the Reds while George and Chris are on the air. I have had it. I can't stand it. I am really disappointed in Narron as well. If I don't have to look at Narron, I can't see his facial expressions telling me how much he is trying to think.

Memo to Krivsky: fix this mess or this team won't win 75 games.

[Tornon]

Weeks flies to Freel, 4-4 after 11

[GAC]

What can Hume say? "Don't be you"?

Tommy told him that if he blows this he'll be doing All-State commercials ;)

[George Foster]

Do you just feel like you stole something?

[reds44]

We survive another inning!

[Matt700wlw]

And we roll on....

[LoganBuck]

LaRue is older, he stays in.

Actually he is the reigning Rock Paper Scissors Champion

[George Foster]

Tommy told him that if he blows this he'll be doing All-State commercials ;)

That's who Yan reminds me of...good call:thumbup:

[Gallen5862]

Who is up to bat for the Reds in the 12th?

[Tornon]

Rick Helling in to pitch

[flyer85]

I bet that Castro/Aurilia in the 4 /5 spots is scaring the Brewers

[NC Reds]

Time for Golden Hands to win it with his bat...or not.

[Jpup]

they are going to go all night. how about this bullpen? only 1 run against tonight.:D

[CTA513]

Who is up to bat for the Reds in the 12th?

Freel, Lopez, Griffey

[GAC]

If this keeps going on and on, then theyll be no one to pick EE up at the airport! :evil:

[George Foster]

And we roll on....

this sucks on a "get-away-day"

[Tornon]

Top of the order due up.. Castro with the winning hit though

[Matt700wlw]

Here's the bad news....the bullpen getting a ton of work a day before Joe Mays gets the start.

[KronoRed]

OK if Narron is Dave Miley Lite, would that make Narron Boone-Miley Lite Lite?

Boone = Palpatine
Miley = Maul
Narron = Vader

[reds44]

Actually he is the reigning Rock Paper Scissors Champion
Yeah but I heard he cheated. He had a late draw.

[Marc D]

at this point we'll have to score 4 or 5 to even have a shot

[KronoRed]

Freel, Lopez, Griffey
Then Castro-Aurilia-Hat

;)

[flyer85]

interesting that Yost didn't want to tempt fate with a 2nd inning of Kolb. I doubt Narron will do the same with Yan.

[George Foster]

good swing

[Caveat Emperor]

Boone = Palpatine
Miley = Maul
Narron = Vader

Funny you should mention it -- I often had the strange desire to see Miley chopped in half and falling down a utility shaft.

[Tornon]

Freel Ks looking, 1 out

[KronoRed]

This guy won 20 games once

SIGN HIM

[GAC]

Freel Ks

[flyer85]

Helling is a true junkballer

[Falls City Beer]

Here's the bad news....the bullpen getting a ton of work a day before Joe Mays gets the start.

Even if the Reds win this, it's pyrrhic. Braves are scorching hot right now.

[George Foster]

Freel is feast or famine

[reds44]

He swings at a 2 hopper then looks at that?

Bad Freel, bad.

[TheBigLebowski]

If we can't push a run across on Rick Helling, it's all over.

[Marc D]

Funny you should mention it -- I often had the strange desire to see Miley chopped in half and falling down a utility shaft.

All you'd have to do is give Miley a lightsaber, he'd do the deed himself trying to turn it on

[gonelong]

Boy, you'd sure like to see Dunn get a crack at a guy like Helling this inning.

[KronoRed]

Funny you should mention it -- I often had the strange desire to see Miley chopped in half and falling down a utility shaft.
:laugh:

Dent is Dooku ;)

[flyer85]

big ad to the Brewers with two position players left

[TheBurn]

FeLo is due... ;)

[GAC]

Lopez is waiting for one in the dirt ;)

[George Foster]

Even if the Reds win this, it's pyrrhic. Braves are scorching hot right now.

That's what I said last week...they were due to start putting together some wins

[KronoRed]

Longest game in professional baseball history is 33innings

[Tornon]

Lopez Ks swinging at ball 4 in the dirt, 2 out

[GAC]

See!

Lopez Ks

[Caveat Emperor]

:laugh:

Dent is Dooku ;)

Does that make Chris Chambliss Obi-Wan? I can see him doing the blast-shield training-remote drill with Adam Dunn to try and help him make better contact.

[reds44]

Lopez is waiting for one in the dirt ;)
:bang:

[TheBurn]

JR is due... ;)

[KronoRed]

Why even pitch to JR? auto outs on deck and in the hole

[Marc D]

Longest game in professional baseball history is 33innings

Do these guys count as "professional"?

[Nugget]

Even if the Reds win this, it's pyrrhic. Braves are scorching hot right now.

A win is a win. Theyaren't playing the Braves right now so we cross that bridge when we get to it.

[Puffy]

Does Griffey get anything to hit with Castro on deck?

[flyer85]

smart guy that Yost, knows how the Reds love those soft tossers.

[George Foster]

Janet Jackson's was talking about Helling in that song of hers..nasty

[Tornon]

Griffey pops to shallow left, 4-4 middle of 12

[KronoRed]

Guess that's why you pitch to JR

[GAC]

My vacation will be over before this game is! :lol:

[flyer85]

Does Griffey get anything to hit with Castro on deck?1-800-got-junk

[reds44]

Why even pitch to JR? auto outs on deck and in the hole
Junior isn't exactly 'hot' right now either. He is more feast or famine then Dunn.

[Matt700wlw]

Longest game in professional baseball history is 33innings

It better not go 33 innings...

[Marc D]

Does that make Chris Chambliss Obi-Wan? I can see him doing the blast-shield training-remote drill with Adam Dunn to try and help him make better contact.

This teams more like the Spaceballs than Star Wars

[flyer85]

My vacation will be over before this game is! :lol:it should be over in about 5 minutes

[Falls City Beer]

It's amazing what happens to this team when a pitcher comes in and pumps in strike after strike.

[Jpup]

Belisle time yet?

[reds44]

I said the Brewers would win it in the 12th, I hope I'm wrong.

[LoganBuck]

So does Q McC=Jar Jar Binks

[TheBigLebowski]

Hall/Jenkins/Lee?

This one is ovah.

[Tornon]

Yan still out there

[reds44]

It's amazing what happens to this team when a pitcher comes in and pumps in strike after strike.
I wouldn't say that was what Helling did. Felipe and Freel helped him out.

[Matt700wlw]

Belisle time yet?

More Yan.

[WVRedsFan]

This club is hopeless.

Now we have Castro and Aurilia leading off the 13th--if we get that far.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't Narron 1-4 since the extension?

[captainmorgan07]

why is yan on for the second inning

[CTA513]

Yan still out there

Testing fate twice is going to come back and bite them.

[KronoRed]

This teams more like the Spaceballs than Star Wars
Reds brain trust
http://wcvw.org/fark/spaceballs-suck2blow.jpg

[Tornon]

Hall shoots one to left, great diving catch by Freel. 1 out

[LoganBuck]

Yan still in.

Freel makes a nice catch

[Caveat Emperor]

So does Q McC=Jar Jar Binks

I'd imagine he's more like D'Angelo Jimenez -- got a ton of airtime for one movie/season, but then due to massive dislike from the fans and fellow cast members was never seen from agian.

[Falls City Beer]

I wouldn't say that was what Helling did. Felipe and Freel helped him out.

With the exception of 2 or 3 pitches he threw strikes.

[reds44]

He did it again! His name is BILL not BILLY George.

Oh Freel!!!!

[Jpup]

More Yan.

What does Narron have against Matt? too young?

[flyer85]

More Yan.it shouldn't take long

[GAC]

It's amazing what happens to this team when a pitcher comes in and pumps in strike after strike.

Yep. Right now they are hitting the ball and we are getting good defense.

Us? we're up there looking at balls and then K'ing on'em in the dirt.

Something is gonna give. ;)

[Tornon]

Jenkins singles the first pitch up the middle

[reds44]

Jenkins is bad, not against the Reds though.

[captainmorgan07]

does anybody think coffey just can't handle the mental anquish of being a closer

[WMR]

I've got George Grande pegged as Jar Jar.

[Matt700wlw]

Bring in Arroyo :D

[KronoRed]

I've got George Grande pegged as Jar Jar.
Joe is Yoda

[Caveat Emperor]

I've got George Grande pegged as Jar Jar.

Meesah love Jim Edmunds, okie day?

[GAC]

Place your bets!

Which BP folds first? ;)

I think these players are just getting tired :lol:

[Falls City Beer]

Joe is Yoda

Rich is Yoda--all those damn Jedi mind tricks he plays on Narron.

[MWM]

Marty is Han Solo.

[WVRedsFan]

Listening to Uecker is driving me batty.

[GAC]

Why does Yan's hat come to a point?

[KronoRed]

Shack and Stan up in the pen

[CTA513]

Place your bets!

Which BP folds first? ;)

I think these players are just getting tired :lol:

Brewers only have 1 guy left so Helling is going to have to go for a while, unless the win it here.

[Gallen5862]

Saint Louis Cardinals Acquired pitcher Jeff Weaver and cash considerations from the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim for outfielder Terry Evans.

[MWM]

Listening to Uecker is driving me batty.

I love listening to Uecker. He's one of the best in the business.

[Jpup]

Why does Yan's hat come to a point?

:laugh:

[Caveat Emperor]

Marty is Han Solo.

I had Marty as more of an angrier C-3P0 -- minus the cool sound effects when he tells stories.

[GAC]

Rich is Yoda--all those damn Jedi mind tricks he plays on Narron.

Naw! RA is Princess Leah, and Narron Is Pizza the Hut

[Tornon]

Lee works a walk

[WMR]

Joe is Yoda

Marty was cast as Mace Windu, but he got Samuel L.'s lines from "Pulp Fiction" instead.

[KronoRed]

Walk

[WVRedsFan]

I love listening to Uecker. He's one of the best in the business.

I do except when we're playing the Brewers

[CTA513]

Yan gets ahead 0-2 and then walks Lee.

:bang:

[reds44]

LOOGY time.

[Jpup]

his flag is upside down.

"maybe it's inside out." --George Grande

[KronoRed]

Here comes Shack

[flyer85]

I wouldn't let Yan pitch to Fielder

[Tornon]

Reds going to the bullpen

Shackelford in to pitch

[Gallen5862]

A team offered them a major league player but they wanted a prospect. I wonder if the Reds offered Larue and hammonds.

[MWM]

I had Marty as more of an angrier C-3P0 -- minus the cool sound effects when he tells stories.

I was thinking the "very full of himself" part of Han. But I could see that.

[LoganBuck]

Brandon Phillips is Mace Windu
Jason Larue is Engleberg without the slugging percentage.

[George Foster]

Jim Leland would of came to Cincinnati...what would our record be? Would our line-ups make more sense? Would he have gone absolutely postal on the bullpen in the press? Would of been fun to watch.

[flyer85]

If Shack gets out Fielder will Narron go right back to Standrigde? He should

[GAC]

I think we all need sleep..... too many Star Wars analogies

[Caveat Emperor]

I was thinking the "very full of himself" part of Han. But I could see that.

Yeah, but Han risked life and limb to bail Luke out a couple times. I couldn't see Marty wandering off into the Hoth night to save someone -- especially if he had to go watch 24 or something.

[Gallen5862]

Get us out of the jam Shack.

[KronoRed]

I like that era near 8

[WVRedsFan]

If Shack gets out Fielder will Narron go right back to Standrigde? He should

Really matters not. This is probably where it ends.

[Falls City Beer]

Yeah, but Han risked life and limb to bail Luke out a couple times. I couldn't see Marty wandering off into the Hoth night to save someone -- especially if he had to go watch 24 or something.

I could definitely see him shooting Greedo.

[Marc D]

Yeah, but Han risked life and limb to bail Luke out a couple times. I couldn't see Marty wandering off into the Hoth night to save someone -- especially if he had to go watch 24 or something.

Marty is Luke's Uncle Owen

[KronoRed]

Greedo = Bowden?

[GAC]

Fielder needs one of those BIG red bats! ;)

[Caveat Emperor]

I could definitely see him shooting Greedo.

Especially if Greedo had just struck out with a runner on 3rd and less than 2 outs. :evil:

[captainmorgan07]

Greedo = Bowden?
he'd shoot him on the spot

[Falls City Beer]

Get us out of the jam Shack.

Get me out of the shack, Jam!

[Tornon]

Fielder Ks swinging on 3 pitches, 2 out

[KronoRed]

Dude..Fielder..that was the same pitch 3 times in a row

[NC Reds]

Dunn's little brother strikes out the Prince.

[TheBigLebowski]

We Have A Loogy

Haha.

Wow

Shack owned him.

BRING IN JASON!

Right now - Fielder couldn't hit the ground if he fell over :lol:

LOOGIfied, now go to the next guy

Standridge in to pitch

Colorado and San Diego are tied with the Reds for the wildcard at 44-40. The Dodgers are 43-40.

Narron figured it out.

[CTA513]

Holy cow, Shackelford is actually being used as LOOGY today.

Bitter mean..used to be nice..Yep :evil:

So, the real burning question is -- who is Admiral Ackbar?

[KronoRed]

I love that Chevy commercial and you can see the lady obviously reading the cue cards

[SirFelixCat]

So who's left to pitch for the Beermakers?

[flyer85]

Dude..Fielder..that was the same pitch 3 times in a roweach one was a few inches farther out.

[captainmorgan07]

so is belisle the only one left

[KronoRed]

So, the real burning question is -- who is Admiral Ackbar?
It's a trap!

[WVRedsFan]

Oh,no. A rookie. We're in trouble.

[captainmorgan07]

and who is lando calrissian

[flyer85]

First time he has used Shack right this year.

[MWM]

Jim Leland would of came to Cincinnati...what would our record be? Would our line-ups make more sense? Would he have gone absolutely postal on the bullpen in the press? Would of been fun to watch.

NO difference. The difference would be that Leyland would bunt and run the Reds out of a lot more runs than Narron. But the players would be whipped into shape, that's for sure. FWIW, I think the Tigers will suffer a meltdown in the second half of the season.

[flyer85]

the wildness of Standrige is a little scary here

[KronoRed]

and who is lando calrissian
Aurilia

[George Foster]

The team plane should of been over Kentucky by now

[Caveat Emperor]

and who is lando calrissian

Steve Stewart is clearly Lando -- smooth talking "bad boy".

I guess that makes Yid-man Lobot.

Yeah but Bobby Cox is more like Billy D if you know what I mean

Excellent job by Standridge. Time for Manos de Oro. OLE!

[Falls City Beer]

Barnwell Ks.

[reds44]

Barnwell was overmatched.. Ks trying to check his swing. 4-4 after 12
That's because Standridge's stuff= good

[Matt700wlw]

Did mlb give up on the game lol?
