[Matt700wlw]

wow...WOW...EE and no Rich!

I'm shocked, actually!

[Jpup]

wow...WOW...EE and no Rich!

I'm shocked, actually!

Aurilia looked really tired last night. He'll be back on Sunday.

[Matt700wlw]

Aurilia looked really tired last night. He'll be back on Sunday.

That's cool....I just hope it's not over EE :)...he's shown he deserves to play everyday.

[StillFunkyB]

Now THAT is a lineup!

I never thought I would see it from Narron.

[redsfan30]

Pretty decent lineup.

[captainmorgan07]

nice lineup jerry's starting to get it

[Tornon]

Have we seen the last of RA in a reds uniform?

[edabbs44]

Have we seen the last of RA in a reds uniform?
Could be.

Narron has to figure out what he wants from a lineup. How does Royce go from 2 to 7 in one night? How does Wise go from bench fodder to leadoff? He has to see that these guys should not be hitting anywhere near the top of the lineup...ever.

[WVRedsFan]

Have we seen the last of RA in a reds uniform?

My question also, but...

Not gonna happen,

[edabbs44]

If RA is gone, I wonder if Jerry will request black jerseys for the following game.

[Highlifeman21]

If RA is gone, I wonder if Jerry will request black jerseys for the following game.

And a moment of silence before the game.

The flags will fly at 1/2 mast for a month.

[Strikes Out Looking]

Final score prediction: Reds 12 Brewers 9

[Caveat Emperor]

Have we seen the last of RA in a reds uniform?

I love this time of year -- anytime someone is not in the lineup, people start sending their photos to the local airport to see if hes catching a plane somewhere else.

RA isn't going anywhere -- not a lot of teams out there can afford to part with talent to send back to the Reds to make the deal worthwhile. And the Reds, for that matter, really can't afford to be sending offense anywhere, at this point.

[oregonred]

Now THAT is a lineup!

I never thought I would see it from Narron.

Except the plan all falls apart with that #9 guy in the Reds order. Can't blame Narron for that one...

[dsmith421]

I am new to the whole MLBTV racket, but why am I blacked out on the West Coast right now? There is no national game on television as far as I can tell.

I loathe the Joe Mays signing.

[Gallen5862]

Who will be able to do the pbp? Here is to hoping for another Reds victory tonight? How is the weather looking?

[SirFelixCat]

Pretty sweet looking lineup. Can't wait for the game tonight, regardless if Mays IS pitching ;) Go get'em fellas!

[pahster]

I am new to the whole MLBTV racket, but why am I blacked out on the West Coast right now? There is no national game on television as far as I can tell.

I loathe the Joe Mays signing.

I think all games are blacked out on MLBtv until 7 eastern. It has something to do with Fox.

[Edskin]

smith-- you'll get the game on MLBTV at 4:00 your time. It's just a dumb rule from MLB-- all games blacked out on Sat. afternoons until 7:00 eastern.

[Tornon]

Mays throws strike one and we are underway

[Tornon]

Weeks Ks looking on 3 pitches, 1 out.

[Matt700wlw]

Holy crap....Mays struck out the leadoff hitter

[TeamCasey]

No TV? :cry:

[Tornon]

Cirillo walks

[Matt700wlw]

No TV? :cry:

I know...I don't like this new setup.

[Tornon]

Jenkins flies the first pitch to Griffey, 2 out

[dsmith421]

I think all games are blacked out on MLBtv until 7 eastern. It has something to do with Fox.

Thanks for the info...I hope the outcome is still in doubt at that point, which is never a safe bet with this clown pitching.

[Tornon]

Lee flies to Dunn, no score middle of 1

14 pitches for Mays

[TeamCasey]

I could have gone to this one. I've just been away from home for awhile. It's nice to have the joint to myself a bit.

[TeamCasey]

So, Hello game thread! I haven't been on one of these in ages! :D

[cumberlandreds]

One good inning out of Mays. Now lets score about 10 or 12 runs and maybe that lead will be safe.

[TeamCasey]

Takes a small moment to wave to 37Red, BCubb, Doog and RBA

[Gallen5862]

Thanks for the pbp Tornon and welcome back to the game thread TeamCasey.

[Tornon]

Freel.. GONE!! 1-0 Reds

[princeton]

well, we've squeezed everything that we can out of Mays. Who's warming up?

[TeamCasey]

Freel! 1-0

[Matt700wlw]

That's one way to get their attention

:freel:

:jump:

[Marc D]

well, we've squeezed everything that we can out of Mays. Who's warming up?

:laugh:

[TeamCasey]

TY Gallen! LOL Princeton. I haven't seen Mays pitch yet. I was wondering what the jury thought.

[cumberlandreds]

:cool: FREEL!!!!!!

[Tornon]

Dunn walks

[RBA]

Dunn Walks

[cumberlandreds]

TY Gallen! LOL Princeton. I haven't seen Mays pitch yet. I was wondering what the jury thought.

I think the REDSZONE jury thinks he's a bum and may be on the next train out of town.

[Caveat Emperor]

TY Gallen! LOL Princeton. I haven't seen Mays pitch yet. I was wondering what the jury thought.

Guilty of impersonating a major league pitcher -- 60 hours Community Service and court costs.

[Gallen5862]

You have brought us good luck so far team Casey.

[TeamCasey]

I'm behind on RZ too. Not even sure who the heck is on our team these days.

[dsmith421]

Guilty of impersonating a major league pitcher -- 60 hours Community Service and court costs.

I'm popping him for negligent infliction due to the many things I've punched while he has been pitching. No zone of danger requirement in Nevada, you know.

[StillFunkyB]

Well at least my internet connection is allowing radio feed! :)

[RBA]

Full Count On Jr

[Tornon]

Griffey grounds to first, good play by Fielder. 1 out

[TeamCasey]

I was bummed about Lopez, but not Kearns ..... and I can't explain why. He was my only untouchable a couple years ago. I suppose I'm discussing old news.

Move along, nothing to see here, Peeps. :)

[RBA]

JR Grounds out. Dunn advances to 2nd. EE UP

[membengal]

Jr. grounds out, apparently a nice play by Fielder, Dunn to 2b.

I sure would love to steal this one tonight, really glad that Harang and Arroyo are lined up for Houston, especially with Clemens going in the opener there.

[StillFunkyB]

Another 2 run HR would be nice! :)

[Tornon]

Encarnacion grounds to second, Dunn to third. 2 out

[Gallen5862]

We need to get Dunn in to score.

[Tornon]

Hatteberg.. GONE!! 3-0 Reds

[RBA]

Scott Hat Homers With Dunn On: Reds 3 Brew Crew 0

[StillFunkyB]

Hatte!!!!

[TeamCasey]

*tips her flowery hat to the bum that took Casey's spot* (Kidding)

[membengal]

Great, great start to this one. Huge actually, given Mays on the mound. Anything to give a cushion is much appreciated. God love the Hatte.

[Matt700wlw]

:jump:

I miss Kearns/Felipe :evil:

(note: kearns hit his first HR today as a national)

[Gallen5862]

WTG Hat! Homerun. :)

[cumberlandreds]

:beerme: HATMAN! Hey wee may get the 10 or 12 runs tonight I thought we would need to get a win!

[Tornon]

Phillips lines to left, Lee couldn't find the ball and BP ends up at second base

[Matt700wlw]

Lee had sun problems....ruled a double

[GAC]

Chat is open :beerme:

[Marc D]

Lets say the Over/under on Mays keeping the lead is 3 more IP. Where do you stand?

I take the under and say he squanders it in 2 more.

[Gallen5862]

Team Casey you need to be on game threads more. :)

[Caveat Emperor]

Lee had sun problems....ruled a double

These 6PM starts are murderous on LFs due to the way the sun is hanging just over the top of the park.

[TeamCasey]

Team Casey you need to be on game threads more. :)

;) :beerme:

[Tornon]

Clayton Ks swinging, 3-0 Reds after 1

34 pitches for Bush

[StillFunkyB]

These 6PM starts are murderous on LFs due to the way the sun is hanging just over the top of the park.

I do believe this complaint has already been aired by the players...

[TeamCasey]

I'm off to play a few online games. If things go to the devil, I'll come back. :)

Howdy AOJ!

[Gallen5862]

Great start for the Reds. Way to make Bush work.

[membengal]

Ooohhhh, that's a perilously high pitch count for Bush, especially considering how tired the Brewers pen is. Further good news.

[Tornon]

Fielder walks

[Tornon]

Gross singles to right

[WVRedsFan]

Freel! 1-0

See, you're good luck. Good to see you back, TC!

[Tornon]

Hall lines to Freel, good catch by Freel. Fielder to third, 1 out

[edabbs44]

ARod whiffs with the bases loaded. 4th K of the day, 0-4. Wow. They better hold this lead.

[Matt700wlw]

Kevn Kelly talking about Griffey. He says Griffey told him his problem lately has been timing. Griffey told him the pop out seemed to get his timing back on track yesterday, and then presto....the game winner.

Junior talked to Senior about it before last nights the game.....

[TeamCasey]

Still here ..... multi-tasking. TY for PBP guys!

[Buckeye33]

ARod whiffs with the bases loaded. 4th K of the day, 0-4. Wow. They better hold this lead.

I predict a "day off" tomorrow for Mr. ARod. He is losing the mental game bigtime right now.

[Tornon]

Miller goes yard, 3-3

[Matt700wlw]

Joe Mays can go away now.

RIGHT NOW!!

He better not come back.

[edabbs44]

Kevn Kelly talking about Griffey. He says Griffey told him his problem lately has been timing. Griffey told him the pop out seemed to get his timing back on track.

Junior talked to Senior about it before last nights the game.....
This has been an awfully long slump for anyone, esp Jr. He picked a bad time to go in the tank.

But timing should have nothing to do with his hacking approach.

[Tornon]

Bush pops to Hatteberg, 2 out

[edabbs44]

Extended batting practice session for Milwaukee tonight.

[GAC]

Repeat after me after folks.....


JOE MAYS SUCKS!!!!!!

[dsmith421]

I can't believe this turd is on a major league team. Krivsky needs to look beyond the history he and Mays have and realize this guy is just not equipped AT ALL to pitch in the major leagues.

Friendly organizational tip to Reds: next year, let's try not to be the guys paying the worst pitcher in baseball. After 3 years of this garbage, it's getting old.

[Caveat Emperor]

Joe Mays can go away now.

RIGHT NOW.

Yup -- this is why trading Kearns and Lopez wasn't smart. The team had to fix the bullpen and get another starter; they blew the chips on fixing the bullpen, but it'll still be the incredible exploading rotation that'll keep this team from contending.

[Tornon]

Weeks grounds to Encarnacion, 3-3 middle of 2

34 pitches for Mays

[edabbs44]

Repeat after me after folks.....


JOE MAYS SUCKS!!!!!!
The sad thing about this is everyone knows except Kriv.

[alloverjr]

I'm off to play a few online games. If things go to the devil, I'll come back. :)

Howdy AOJ!


I think you can come back now. ;)

[Joseph]

Repeat after me after folks.....


JOE MAYS SUCKS!!!!!!

Exactly what I said to my wife as I heard the homer.

[membengal]

Well, GAC, everyone knew that ahead of time except for WK. Huge blind spot he has for former Twins. Hopefully that blind spot will recede and recede quickly...

[toledodan]

Repeat after me after folks.....


JOE MAYS SUCKS!!!!!!


we need to get a joe mays sucks thread going.:mooner:

[dsmith421]

Well, GAC, everyone knew that ahead of time except for WK. Huge blind spot he has for former Twins. Hopefully that blind spot will recede and recede quickly...

Even if Mays and Krivsky are best buds, at what point does the 'loyal' thing become stopping your friend from totally embarassing himself?

[DoogMinAmo]

After this start, anyone know when the Reds need the 5th starter again?

Claussen, even this year, is better than this.

[Tommyjohn25]

The sad thing about this is everyone knows except Kriv.


I'm pretty sure that Krivsky knows it, he's not an idiot.

[Tornon]

LaRue lines a single to center

[Caveat Emperor]

I'm pretty sure that Krivsky knows it, he's not an idiot.

If that's the case, how low must this organization be on Justin Germano and Phil Dumatrait...

[GAC]

Well, GAC, everyone knew that ahead of time except for WK. Huge blind spot he has for former Twins. Hopefully that blind spot will recede and recede quickly...

That's true.... but at the time, teams were also snatching up our DFA'd pitchers. Teams are trying anyone to try and plug holes right now.

But a point has to be reached when Mays will be gone.

And I think they are just holding on till Claussen comes back.

Mays will be gone IMO.

[dsmith421]

I'm pretty sure that Krivsky knows it, he's not an idiot.

True. But at this stage, why not just bring up Germano/Miscellaneous AAA starter, figuring that the novelty at minimum could yield better results than the batting practice Mays throws?

[Tornon]

Mays bunts LaRue up, 1 out

[StillFunkyB]

Well, GAC, everyone knew that ahead of time except for WK. Huge blind spot he has for former Twins. Hopefully that blind spot will recede and recede quickly...

Unless of course he goes for someone with the name of Johan

[Gallen5862]

Hey one positive is that Mays got through Two innings and we are not losing. :)

[Matt700wlw]

After this start, anyone know when the Reds need the 5th starter again?

Claussen, even this year, is better than this.

With Monday off, I'm assuming next week there wouldn't be one needed....correct?

[edabbs44]

I'm pretty sure that Krivsky knows it, he's not an idiot.
It's quite obvious that the guy cannot pitch at the major league level with any effectiveness. Pitchers like that should be nowhere near a mound. So what's Wayne's major malfunction?

[Tommyjohn25]

Final score prediction: Reds 12 Brewers 9


You just may be spot on. ;)

[Tornon]

Freel lines a single to left-center, easily thrown out trying to strecth it. 4-3 Reds

[Matt700wlw]

Bad idea trying to make a double out of it...but he got the important part done.

[Tornon]

Dunn flies the first pitch to center, 4-3 Reds after 2

41 pitches for Bush

[DoogMinAmo]

True. But at this stage, why not just bring up Germano/Miscellaneous AAA starter, figuring that the novelty at minimum could yield better results than the batting practice Mays throws?

Germano is a junk pitcher, no real stuff.

Both will have a shot next season.

[Caveat Emperor]

Bad idea trying to make a double out of it...but he got the important part done.

I know its a tennis stat, but Ryan Freel commits just a ton of unforced errors out there on offense.

[Tommyjohn25]

It's quite obvious that the guy cannot pitch at the major league level with any effectiveness. Pitchers like that should be nowhere near a mound. So what's Wayne's major malfunction?

I agree with you about Mays, he's awful. But what is the solution? Claussen has been on the shelf and nobody in AAA is exactly racking up the scoreless innings, so what is Wayne supposed to do about it?

[Gallen5862]

Two rbis so far tonight for Freel.

[dsmith421]

Germano is a junk pitcher, no real stuff.

True. I guess my point is that you often see totally unknown pitchers called up and pitch 1-2 starts effectively due to surprise alone. Certainly this has victimized the Reds in the past.

There's always the Billy Martin philosophy too--put your best long man out there and say "give us four innings" and then make stuff up.

[Tornon]

Cirillo flares one to center, Phillips makes a great diving catch. 1 out

[Matt700wlw]

Phillips! WOW!!!

Joe Mays is going to get somebody killed out there ;)

[Tornon]

Jenkins grounds the first pitch to Hatteberg, 2 out

[PuffyPig]

With Monday off, I'm assuming next week there wouldn't be one needed....correct?
Unless the offday comes at the time of the 5th starters start, it doesn't help much. Mays will be needed Friday.

[membengal]

The solution on Mays?

A. B. M.

Anyone but Mays.

Seriously. It can't be worse than he has been. Even if Dumatrait or Germano get lit up, Mays' standard is so bad that it won't be any worse.

[Tornon]

Lee grounds the first pitch to Encarnacion, 4-3 Reds middle of 3

40 pitches for Mays

[Matt700wlw]

Unless the offday comes at the time of the 5th starters start, it doesn't help much. Mays will be needed Friday.

That makes sense....


Monday would skip Harang (if they were going to skip anybody).....that's not happening!

[DoogMinAmo]

With Monday off, I'm assuming next week there wouldn't be one needed....correct?

I dunno:

Milty: Sunday, 4 days rest
Harang: Tuesday, 5 days rest
Arroyo: Wednesday, 5 days rest
EZ: Thursday, 5 days rest
Milty: Friday, 4 days rest?
Harang: Saturday, 3 days rest?

Unless my math is wrong, I would assume that Mays or Claussen or whoever would get the ball on Saturday.

EDIT: Milty could pitch either Friday or Sat, depending on matchup. I would assume with his knee problems it would be better to give him the extra day rest. Either day he pitches @ Mil.

[Gallen5862]

So far so good for Mays. It sounds like he is getting lit up but we have a lead after 3 innings of Mays. :)

[Marc D]

Lets say the Over/under on Mays keeping the lead is 3 more IP. Where do you stand?

I take the under and say he squanders it in 2 more.

just walked back in and saw the score, if only all sports betting were this easy.

[Tornon]

Griffey walks on 4 pitches

[Matt700wlw]

I dunno:

Milty: Sunday, 4 days rest
Harang: Tuesday, 5 days rest
Arroyo: Wednesday, 5 days rest
EZ: Thursday, 5 days rest
Milty: Friday, 4 days rest?
Harang: Saturday, 3 days rest?

Unless my math is wrong, I would assume that Mays or Claussen or whoever would get the ball on Saturday.

I guess it wouldn't work....wishful thinking :)

[RBA]

game is now on MLB.tv

[Tornon]

Encarnacion lines a single to left

[Matt700wlw]

Does Edwin do anything but hit?

[Gallen5862]

WTG EE. How far did Junior get?

[Matt700wlw]

WTG EE. How far did Junior get?

2nd

[RBA]

Jr had to hold up because EE's hit should of been caught, but lost in the sun.

[Gallen5862]

Thanks! The Reds can use some good breaks.

[Tornon]

Hatteberg doubles to right, 5-3 Reds

[Matt700wlw]

Hatte's at it again!

[TeamCasey]

:) I was reading while that happened. ;)

[Tornon]

Phillips grounds to short, 6-3 Reds

[Gallen5862]

Mr Hat has the hot Bat. :)

[Tornon]

Clayton flies to a leaping Gross at the wall in right-center, 2 out. Hatteberg to third

[Gallen5862]

Great job BP. Lets get more runs. We need to outscore Mays.

[Tornon]

Intentional walk for LaRue

[Joseph]

Mr Hat has the hot Bat. :)

http://twiki.iwethey.org/twiki/pub/Main/JimN3jja/mr-hat.jpg

Mr Hat?

[Marc D]

Oh well clears Mays spot. I'm thinking we need 8 but more likely 9 to win toniht.

[DoogMinAmo]

Larue now hitting .289 and OPSing .912 for July.

Ross or Larue. Sell high.

[Tornon]

Mays Ks looking, 6-3 Reds after 3

68 pitches for Bush

lean into one Joe!!

[Gallen5862]

Thanks tornon and great job. We need to get to the Brewers bullpen.

[Tornon]

Fielder grounds to Clayton, 1 out

[Tornon]

Gross walks on 4 pitches

[Tornon]

Hall lines a single to left

[George Foster]

ah...the end to "retireing 6 in a row"

[Matt700wlw]

This turd better not blow the lead again...

:bang:

[toledodan]

Gross walks on 4 pitches

this is what got him in trouble last time.:bang:

[toledodan]

base hit by hall. here we go again.

[TheBigLebowski]

Mays is simply awful.

[dsmith421]

What odds on six runs winning this game? I'd say slim and none.

[Falls City Beer]

Damian "Omen" Miller up with two men on. :cry:

[TheBigLebowski]

I really think it may take 10 runs to win this game.

[Tornon]

Miller flies to Griffey, 2 out

[toledodan]

get the bullpen ready!

[Caveat Emperor]

This idiot is going to blow the lead again.

:bang:

Joe Mays makes me long for the days of Todd Van Poppel.

[Falls City Beer]

Mays is simply awful.

He aggressively sucks.

[Tornon]

Corey Hart pinch hitting for Bush

[toledodan]

Miller flies to Griffey, 2 out


miller must of fallen over swinging at that pitch.:laugh:

[Gallen5862]

Is it still 6 to 3 and where are the runners at?

yes 6-3 runners at 1st and 2nd 2 outs.

I wonder if he'll "never surrender" -

RATS - beaten by CE.

[TheBigLebowski]

3-0 count

[Tornon]

Hart grounds a single up the middle, Gross scores.. Hall to third. 6-4 Reds

[TheBigLebowski]

Corey Hart's chubbed up quite a bit since those days. Saw him on one of those VH1 shows.

[Matt700wlw]

Joe Mays makes me ill

[membengal]

Base hit for Hart, 6-4 game, first and third, still two outs. Weeks due up. Mays is the suck.

[toledodan]

[Tornon]

Standridge throwing in the pen

[Matt700wlw]

I hope this is Mays' last inning ever.

[TheBigLebowski]

Get this idiot the hell out of the game and off our 40 man roster. Please.

[George Foster]

Narron does not have to pitch this guy....it's his choice...

[Heath]

Hey Krivsky - Joe Mays sucks.

Don't make him your Jason Romano, ok?

[DoogMinAmo]

Mays cant find the plate, Mil is sitting on his FB down the heart of the plate.

[Falls City Beer]

I love how that jagoff thinks that album cover is his "First Offense." Dude, you don't even know....

[toledodan]

well maybe wayne will take corey's sunglasses off and DFA mays sunday.

Will the torture never end?

[Tornon]

Mays is done.. Standridge in

[DoogMinAmo]

Standridge throwing in the pen

He just pitched 2 innings last night, cmon Jerry, don't Dusty Baker the guy!

[TeamCasey]

Bu bye!

[Gallen5862]

DFA Mays and claim anyone off waivers. It doesn't matter who. They can't be worst.

[George Foster]

The Commish has issued a statement that every major league team will have a special needs player on their roster. Mays, is ours...:laugh:

[TheBigLebowski]

I hate Joe Mays.

[membengal]

Even Narron has seen enough. Mays out, 6-5 game.

[Matt700wlw]

Go away, Mays.

Bring me in....I'm no good, but neither was he.

[pahster]

Good lord. Mays is awful.

[CTA513]

Get this idiot the hell out of the game and off our 40 man roster. Please.

Hes used to be with the Twins so he is probably going to get some extra time to stink it up.

:bang:

[toledodan]

i wonder if mays will be like rick white and make excuses how he wasn't used right.

[RBA]

Bring up HOMER!

[dsmith421]

I hope he's getting a full-scale roundhouse booing. And a pink slip.

[Marc D]

Good lord. Mays is awful.

he's approaching Jimmah status

[traderumor]

You know that new and "improved" bullpen? The starters are doing their level best to wear them out quickly.

[Caveat Emperor]

Jimmy Haynes
Todd Van Poppel
Eric Milton
Joe Mays

Will the torture never end?

Joe Mays -- 2006 candidate for induction into the RedsZone "Hall of Awful" along with the following candidates:

Joey Hamilton
Jesus Sanchez
Jimmy Anderson
Jeff Austin
Ramon Ortiz

Maybe we can get George Grande to emcee the event to really make things unwatchable.

[cumberlandreds]

Mays is done.. Standridge in

Mays, say hello to the waiver wire. :wave: I hope.:pray:

[Joseph]

Corey Hart is from these parts, my brother in law and he played basketball and little league against one another. He was good, at least for these parts.

[CrackerJack]

Germano et al.., would at least be an improvement to "veteran presence" Mays.

Geesh the local media should be frying the Reds over the incompetent reasoning behind including him in the rotation.

[Matt700wlw]

Joe Mays wins the 2006 Jimmy Haynes Award.

A wasted roster spot for a pitcher who had one good year in his career.

Future so bright, he's gotta wear shades...

...wait, wrong guy.

[BrooklynRedz]

he's approaching Jimmah status

Approaching? I think he "done passed" Jimmah.

Joe Mays -- 2006 candidate for induction into the RedsZone "Hall of Awful" along with the following candidates:

Joey Hamilton
Jesus Sanchez
Jimmy Anderson
Jeff Austin
Ramon Ortiz

Maybe we can get George Grande to emcee the event to really make things unwatchable.


Your sick

[traderumor]

I can't imagine Germano doing any worse than this as a 5th starter

[Tornon]

Cirillo grounds to Encarnacion, 6-5 Reds middle of 4

[Falls City Beer]

Jason Standridge proud;
Congratulate him.

[toledodan]

after facing mays standridge must look like nolan ryan.

[George Foster]

Bring up HOMER!


no, no, we can't do that....he's fine China. He's to fragial for the majors.

Don't forget Josias Manzanillo

[Tornon]

Geremi Gonzalez in to pitch

[Eric_Davis]

Can't see Wayne Krivsky giving Joe Mays much more of a leash than he gave Yan...though I think his familiarity through the Twins is the only reason he's still here.

One more start by Mays like any of his others or this one and he's out of here permanently.

[redsrule2500]

Poor Joe Mays

[Falls City Beer]

Don't forget Josias Manzanillo

His award is a baseball perched atop an athletic cup.

[Tornon]

Freel hit by a pitch

[toledodan]

whats the chances the score is going to stay the same the rest of the game?

[toledodan]

Freel hit by a pitch


leave scappy alone!

[Tornon]

Dunn lines a double down the RF line, Freel scores. 7-5 Reds

[TeamCasey]

Yes! RBI Dunn. 7-5

If Mays gets one more start, K should be fired...period. He does not belong in a major league uniform.

[toledodan]

dunn rbi double!

[Caveat Emperor]

Don't forget Josias Manzanillo

He was part of the inaugural class to the "Hall of Awful" along with Jason Romano, Rueben Mateo, Osvaldo Fernandez, Brandon Larson, and Phil Norton.

Can't elect him twice. :evil:

[VR]

Payback for the Reds pulling Mays ;)

[Falls City Beer]

I think, for once, the Reds might win a battle of the bullpens. Unless Capellan can pitch 6 innings.

[dsmith421]

78 hits and 29 walks in 50 2/3 innings. I mean, wow.

The equivalent of Joe Mays in my field is a criminal defense lawyer who gets his client the gas chamber for jaywalking.

[cumberlandreds]

Battle of the bullpens now. I like our chances much better. Brewers BP is very bad.

[membengal]

whats the chances the score is going to stay the same the rest of the game?

Slim, as it turned out.

[toledodan]

whats the chances the score is going to stay the same the rest of the game?



not long!:laugh:

[TheBigLebowski]

Always need to bring the bats on nights that Joe Mays takes the bump. Thankfully, we appear to have Dunn that.

Awful, awful pun. I apologize.

[Caveat Emperor]

whats the chances the score is going to stay the same the rest of the game?

I'd have to say.....


....remote.

[Tornon]

Griffey flies to right, 1 out

[cumberlandreds]

He was part of the inaugural class to the "Hall of Awful" along with Jason Romano, Rueben Mateo, Osvaldo Fernandez, Brandon Larson, and Phil Norton.

Can't elect him twice. :evil:

Joe Hoerner should be elected by the veterans committee. He was as bad as any pitcher ever for the Reds.

[CTA513]

Standridge or Germano should be given Mays next start.

[redsrule2500]

whats the chances the score is going to stay the same the rest of the game?

1 in 3

[Tornon]

Encarnacion Ks on 3 pitches, 2 out

[TheBigLebowski]

Don't forget Tim Birtsas, Marc Kroon, and Bill Scherrer.

[Falls City Beer]

Geremi Gonzalez looks like a South Park character.

[toledodan]

Standridge or Germano should be given Mays next start.


germano started for louisville last night and pitched quite well. he deserves a shot over mays. hell i deserve a shot over mays.:laugh:

[cumberlandreds]

Don't forget Tim Birtsas, Marc Kroon, and Bill Scherrer.

Macr Kroon? I honestly can't remember him. I guess I should be thankful for that.:devil:

[MrCinatit]

Mays almost makes me miss Brandon Claussen.
Almost
