[Matt700wlw]

Get into Zambrano's head!

[HeatherC1212]

Go Reds!! :D

I'd love to listen to this game on the radio but my coworkers are doing a good job of being loud this week and I'd probably never hear it. :bang:

[Matt700wlw]

Go Reds!! :D

I'd love to listen to this game on the radio but my coworkers are doing a good job of being loud this week and I'd probably never hear it. :bang:

Tell them to shut up!! :D

[cumberlandreds]

Go Reds!! :D

I'd love to listen to this game on the radio but my coworkers are doing a good job of being loud this week and I'd probably never hear it. :bang:

Just tell them you can't concentrate on your work and to shut the heck up!

[nate]

No freaking TV! Boo hiss!

Chat is totally open!

[bucksfan2]

Its not on WGN?

[Matt700wlw]

Reds road game blacked out on CSN....MLB blackout rules are goofy.

[cumberlandreds]

Its not on WGN?

Nope. It's on CSN Chicago.

[AmarilloRed]

I'll watch it on Gameday.

[cumberlandreds]

Taveras GO to SS.

[cumberlandreds]

Dickerson K's swinging. Two away.

[Matt700wlw]

Votto. Yeah. HUSTLES his way into a double!

[cumberlandreds]

Votto a hustling double off the 2nd basemans glove.

[cumberlandreds]

EdE K's swinging to end the first.

[HeatherC1212]

Seriously, Vottomatic needs a smiley icon thing here! :D

And I'd love to tell my coworkers to be quiet but no one here listens to me, LOL :laugh:

[nate]

This is news to me. MLB is going to CHARGE for gameday after the 26th.

What's next? Blackouts for gameday?

[cumberlandreds]

This is news to me. MLB is going to CHARGE for gameday after the 26th.

What's next? Blackouts for gameday?

MLB's number rule: Thou shalt make it as hard as possible for fans to watch games

[GoReds]

This is news to me. MLB is going to CHARGE for gameday after the 26th.

What's next? Blackouts for gameday?

My name is Bud Selig and my salary and I approve of this message.

[cumberlandreds]

Cubs go out in order in the first. Zip to zip after one.

[_Sir_Charles_]

This is news to me. MLB is going to CHARGE for gameday after the 26th.

What's next? Blackouts for gameday?

I was under the impression it was only charging for Gameday PREMIUM. As in with all the extra do-hickies under the player pictures.

[jojo]

This is news to me. MLB is going to CHARGE for gameday after the 26th.

What's next? Blackouts for gameday?

I think theyre just going to charge for the bells and whistles.

[cumberlandreds]

Phillips K looking for out two. Bruce richoted one off the mound right to the SS for the first out.

[HeatherC1212]

I was under the impression it was only charging for Gameday PREMIUM. As in with all the extra do-hickies under the player pictures.

That makes more sense although it's still kind of stupid to charge for play by play stuff. I don't think everyone needs the extra stuff. I'm happy to just get the play by play stuff.

Glad to see Harang set them down in order. :)

[cumberlandreds]

Fly out to CF and an easy inning for Zambrano. no score in the 2nd.

[_Sir_Charles_]

3 up 3 down for the Reds.

[jojo]

A good at bat from Phillips especially considering CZ is his worst nightmare....a competent righty.

[nate]

I was under the impression it was only charging for Gameday PREMIUM. As in with all the extra do-hickies under the player pictures.


I think theyre just going to charge for the bells and whistles.

You guys are seriously impairing my complaining with this!

Knock it off!

:cool:

(these are jokes, btw)

[OnBaseMachine]

Aaron Harang is pitching today, so don't expect the Reds to score more than one run.

It's gotta be so frustrating for Harang to go out there knowing he needs to be nearly perfect to get a chance for a win.

[jojo]

You guys are seriously impairing my complaining with this!

Knock it off!

:cool:

(these are jokes, btw)

Hey, mlb is doing it's best to stimulate the economy....:cool:

[cumberlandreds]

Ground out to SS for one out.

[cumberlandreds]

Ramirez singles.

[jojo]

Ramirez singles.

Ya...that one just about dented Harang's cranium

[membengal]

I have come to loathe Aramis Ramirez.

[OnBaseMachine]

No score after two innings.

[cumberlandreds]

Cubs out in the second after getting two on. 0-0 after two.

[membengal]

With a 3b, LF, SS, and C the Reds would be dangerous.

[cumberlandreds]

Gonzo GO to 3b one away

[BRM]

With a 3b, LF, SS, and C the Reds would be dangerous.

That's all? Piece of cake...

[TRF]

Gonzales GO on the first pitch.

[TRF]

Harang follows suit, but sees three pitches

[OnBaseMachine]

If you're not gonna hit, at least make the pitcher throw a few pitches.

[BRM]

Making Z work. :rolleyes:

[TRF]

8 pitches. Zambrano threw 8 pitches in the 3rd.

not good.

[cumberlandreds]

Too easy of an inning for Zambrano. No score in the third.

[membengal]

If under .200 is below the Medoza line, what is under .100? Because Alex G continues to be at that level...

[OnBaseMachine]

34 pitches in three innings for Zambrano.

[OnBaseMachine]

With a 3b, LF, SS, and C the Reds would be dangerous.

LOL. I was thinking the same thing.

[membengal]

And what do we have to do to get Dusty to agree to give Janish an extra start or two a week? I am willing to pony up for a fruit basket. Who's with me?

[Sea Ray]

EdE K's swinging to end the first.

So much for shuffling the lineup to find a cleanup hitter

[membengal]

So much for shuffling the lineup to find a cleanup hitter

Jay Bruce needs to bat clean-up. Because EE and Philips ain't it.

[OnBaseMachine]

How nice would it be to have Nick Swisher in this lineup?

[BRM]

So much for shuffling the lineup to find a cleanup hitter

Yeah, he's had 5 whole plate appearances in the cleanup spot and hasn't produced. Fire the bum.

[cumberlandreds]

Zambrano K's. One out.

[HeatherC1212]

Note to Reds Hitters: Zambrano is not Cy Young. Please be patient and start taking pitches so we can get him out of there before he pitches a complete game shutout. :thumbdown

[jojo]

I'm still waiting to see the gold glove centerfielder in Chris Dickerson.

[BRM]

I'm still waiting to see the gold glove centerfielder in Chris Dickerson.

Hard to see it when he doesn't play CF.

[cumberlandreds]

Soriano doubles

[OnBaseMachine]

Did Dickerson misplay that ball or something?

[membengal]

I'm still waiting to see the gold glove centerfielder in Chris Dickerson.

Not happening. The defense from he and JHJ has been a disappointment in replacing Dunn.

[Strikes Out Looking]

If Dusty is so hot to not bat Votto and Bruce back to back, why doesn't he bat Phillips 3, Votto 4, EdE 5 and Bruce 6?

[jojo]

Hard to see it when he doesn't play CF.

Actually, it's not.

[OnBaseMachine]

Actually, it's not.

Did he misplay that Soriano double?

[jojo]

Did he misplay that Soriano double?

No, that was a grounder down the line. It was a legit double.

[Matt700wlw]

Soriano went to the Reds school of base running :D

[cumberlandreds]

Soriano picked off 2nd. Two away.

[OnBaseMachine]

Thanks jojo.

[Raisor]

If Dusty is so hot to not bat Votto and Bruce back to back, why doesn't he bat Phillips 3, Votto 4, EdE 5 and Bruce 6?

I don't think moving Phillips up in the lineup is the way to go, except against LHP.

[GoReds]

I'm still waiting to see the gold glove centerfielder in Chris Dickerson.


Maybe that's the problem - his glove is made of gold.

[jojo]

Soriano was haranged...

[cumberlandreds]

Theriot pops out to CF. No score after three. Lets try to make Zambrano throw at least ten pitches this inning.OK?

[Raisor]

Soriano was haranged...

boo!

:thumbup:

[Chip R]

If under .200 is below the Medoza line, what is under .100? Because Alex G continues to be at that level...


Under the Interstate.

[_Sir_Charles_]

Thanks jojo.

They were talking about a foul ball to the corner when Zambrano was up. It hit Chris' glove but he dropped it because he was right up to the wall. Marty made it sound like he definitely should've had it. Not seeing it myself...I've got no clue.

Is anybody actually watching the game, or just listening? I thought it was blacked out everywhere.

[Matt700wlw]

Dickerson. Nice.

[_Sir_Charles_]

Stand up triple for Dickerson! Woo hoo! :O)

[cumberlandreds]

Dickerson triples off the RF wall.

[TRF]

Dickerson TRIPLES!!!

[membengal]

Lead-off triple for Dickerson. Nice.

By the way, according to my MLB Scoreboard, Dave Bush has a no-no through six against the Phillies...

[jojo]

It should have been caught.

[OnBaseMachine]

Get him in please.

Dave Bush is no-hitting the Phillies through six innings.

[Will M]

Did he misplay that Soriano double?

Zambrano hit a long foul ball to LF & Dickerson had it in his glove but couldn't catch it.

[durl]

Hey...there was a 5-pitch at-bat with a triple! Not bad!

[RichRed]

Time to get inside that 10-cent head of Zambrano's.

[reds44]

Dickerson has some wheels.

[jojo]

Dickerson triples off the RF wall.

I thought that one was going to be gone.

[membengal]

Crikey. Frustrating that Votto couldn't get the runner in there. EE really needs to focus and get the job done now. This team can't waste this.

[durl]

And our best hitter can't get the run in. Oh, well...

[jojo]

Votto doesn't get cheated on his swing...

[reds44]

Why do I have a feeling this isn't going to end well?

[jojo]

I hate the Cubs but Lee is a cool cat...

[OnBaseMachine]

Watch them not score.

[AmarilloRed]

Why didn't Dickerson score on a groundout to first?

[reds44]

I feel better with Bruce up.

[cumberlandreds]

EE walks.

[membengal]

EE walks.

Bruce up, runners 1st and 3rd, one out.

[reds44]

Why didn't Dickerson score on a groundout to first?
1st baseman was playing up?

[TRF]

What's EE's OBP now? .90000?

[membengal]

Why didn't Dickerson score on a groundout to first?

Lee was apparently pulled even with the bag and the ball was hit right to him...

[bucksfan2]

Sounds like the Reds are doing a good job of working the count

[jojo]

Is Bruce a Cubs killer?

[durl]

EE batting 2nd, anyone? :D

[reds44]

2-0

Pick one out Jay.

[Matt700wlw]

Bruuuuuuuuucee!

[cincrazy]

Run scores. Base hit to right for Jay.

[membengal]

jay Bruce, bless you.

Single puts the Reds up.

[cumberlandreds]

Bruce is the MAN. Single to score the first run of the game.

[reds44]

Jay remembered how to hit.

Uh oh.

[membengal]

EE at 2nd, Bruce at first, Phillips up.

Anyone for a hit and run here?

[_Sir_Charles_]

Jay with a single to right to knock Chris in. Edwin advances to second.

[OnBaseMachine]

Thank you Jay Bruce. I had a bad feeling they weren't going to score after Votto grounded out.

[TRF]

Bruce with the run scoring single.

[reds44]

Phillips hit into a Phillips.

[membengal]

Or a DP instead.

Rats.

[durl]

I figured they'd pitch around Bruce to get to the bottom 4 hitters. Those 4 have a combined BA of .112.

Good job, Jay!!

[cumberlandreds]

Phillips hits into a phillips. Inning over 1-0 Reds. There's your run for the day Harang. Holdem!

[cincrazy]

Is it just me or is Phillips on pace for 162 DP's?

[_Sir_Charles_]

DP ball to end the inning.

Jojo, are you watching the game? If so, what channel?

[OnBaseMachine]

Phillips is so dang frustrating. He cost the Reds a potential big inning with that doubleplay.

[TRF]

Zambrano threw a lot of pitches that inning. here's hoping that trend continues for him in the 5th.

[durl]

Brandon....TAKE A PITCH. Geez. This one-and-done thing ain't workin.

[jojo]

DP ball to end the inning.

Jojo, are you watching the game? If so, what channel?

mlbtv

[_Sir_Charles_]

Is it just me or is Phillips on pace for 162 DP's?

No, he's got 3. But if you just read here then you'd think he'd hit into a couple dozen already.

[durl]

Hernandez BA is now better than Phillips. Interesting.

[OnBaseMachine]

Bruce's OPS is quietly up to .790 now.

[OnBaseMachine]

Dave Bush has a no-hitter through 7.

[cumberlandreds]

Fukodome singles to start the Cubs inning.

[Chip R]

Phillips is so dang frustrating. He cost the Reds a potential big inning with that doubleplay.


Least he didn't strike out.

[cumberlandreds]

Lee pops out.

[RichRed]

Is it just me or is Phillips on pace for 162 DP's?

Nope, "only" 32.

[durl]

Lee is taking batting lessons from Phillips.

[jojo]

Fukodome singles to start the Cubs inning.

I'd actually pay money to hear Harry Carey try and pronounce Fukodome's name in the 6th or 7th inning of a game...

[cumberlandreds]

Ramirez pops out to Bruce two away.

[bucksfan2]

I'd actually pay money to hear Harry Carey try and pronounce Fukodome's name in the 6th or 7th inning of a game...

:thumbup: Awesome

[RichRed]

Harang at 54 pitches and Z at 51 pitches thru 4 innings.

[cumberlandreds]

I'd actually pay money to hear Harry Carey try and pronounce Fukodome's name in the 6th or 7th inning of a game...

Me too. Or hear him say it backwards.

[reds44]

I could get used to this not letting the other team score thing.

[reds44]

Hernandez, not so much with the wheels.

[membengal]

I could get used to this not letting the other team score thing.

Given our offense, it's a flat necessity.

[Raisor]

I just ate too much chili

[durl]

At least Hernandez got 6 pitches out of Zambrano.

[BRM]

I just ate too much chili

Just keep your gas out of the game thread.

[membengal]

Is Alex G on a State Route now?

[Chip R]

I'd actually pay money to hear Harry Carey try and pronounce Fukodome's name in the 6th or 7th inning of a game...


Or say some kind of un-PC comment about him.

[HeatherC1212]

Glad we got the run in and even better that it was one of the guys on my fantasy team, LOL ;)

[Chip R]

I just ate too much chili


Getting another Nobel Prize for that?

[AmarilloRed]

I think it's time to make Janish the starting SS.

[BRM]

We might see complete games out of both pitchers at this rate.

[OnBaseMachine]

Bill Hall just made a tremendous play to save the no-no. Through 7.1 now.

[TRF]

I just ate too much chili

oxymoron.

like military intelligence or Chip is devestatingly handsome.

[durl]

Well, the bottom 3 lived up to their stats at the plate. It just shows that consistency isn't necessarily a good thing.

[BRM]

oxymoron.

Calling Raisor a moron is bad for your health.

[_Sir_Charles_]

Or say some kind of un-PC comment about him.

As much as I hate the Cubs, I do miss Harry. He was intertaining to say the least...just not on purpose usually.

[Strikes Out Looking]

The good news: Alex Gonzalez was healthy enough to be in the opening day lineup.
The bad news: It should have been the Louisville opening day lineup.

[Raisor]

oxymoron.

like military intelligence or Chip is devestatingly handsome.

..but it's coming out of my ears.

[jojo]

Bill Hall just made a tremendous play to save the no-no. Through 7.1 now.

Wrong gamethread.... :p:

[TRF]

..but it's coming out of my ears.

stand in a bathtub and sell tickets to "Raisor the human chili fountain".

you'll make a mint.

[Raisor]

Calling Raisor a moron is bad for your health.

I'm on pills that keep me from hurting him.

[Chip R]

As much as I hate the Cubs, I do miss Harry. He was intertaining to say the least...just not on purpose usually.


Absolutely. Those giant glasses of his were teh awesome.

[durl]

Wrong gamethread.... :p:

Eh..the no-no and the shutout are gone now. One swing is all it takes.

Now back to the Reds...

[OnBaseMachine]

Soto grounded out and Fontenot flied out. Two quick outs. Zambrano is up.

[TRF]

eerie. Harang and Zambrano both have given up three hits and 1 BB. Harang at 63 pitches, Z at 65.

[AmarilloRed]

Zambrano grounds out. 1-0 after 5.

[jojo]

So far the only thing that could make this game better would be if it was the first game of a doubleheader....

[_Sir_Charles_]

Liner to Right for Taveras.

[bucksfan2]

It seems like there are quite a few balls going right back through the box today.

[_Sir_Charles_]

Dickerson showing bunt

[OnBaseMachine]

Taveras singles to begin the 6th. Sure would be nice to get him in.

[_Sir_Charles_]

Swinging away now

[jojo]

Hoffpauir is an adventure....

[Hoosier Red]

Hope he's running.

[membengal]

Was the "liner to right" for Taveras a single?

[membengal]

Pitcher throws the ball away. THAT will make Zambrano grumpy...

[reds44]

Taveras gives opposing pitchers nightmares.

[_Sir_Charles_]

Pickoff throw goes by Lee, Taveras to third.

[bucksfan2]

Is Z talking to his glove right now?

[REDREAD]

Was the "liner to right" for Taveras a single?

yes

[_Sir_Charles_]

Was the "liner to right" for Taveras a single?

Yes, sorry. :O)

[durl]

Now THAT'S what a base-stealing threat will do for you! Runner on 3rd and nobody out.

[OnBaseMachine]

That's a big run. Need to get him in.

[membengal]

Thanks. Stepped away from the computer and was trying to put the conflicting pieces of information together.

[Raisor]

Hoffpauir is an adventure....



"One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight! Schlemiel! Schlemazl! Hasenpfeffer Incorporated!"

[REDREAD]

Now THAT'S what a base-stealing threat will do for you! Runner on 3rd and nobody out.

Wily sure has been fun to watch so far. :)

[membengal]

Wily sure has been fun to watch so far. :)


Sure has. Votto, Taveras and Bruce have easily been the best things about the team's offense. After that...a drop off.

[reds44]

Uh....don't know about that call.

[_Sir_Charles_]

Strikes out looking. Durnit. 1 down, Willy T on third. PLEASE, don't strand him there.

[RichRed]

Is Z talking to his glove right now?

His glove is talking to him. And he's answering it.

[HeatherC1212]

PLEASE get that run in guys! :eek:

[durl]

Well...Gameday shows it to be out of the strike zone high.

[membengal]

Rats. Zambrano bears down and Ks Dickerson.

Need Votto to pick up the team like Bruce picked up Votto last time around.

[bucksfan2]

His glove is talking to him. And he's answering it.

:thumbup: Always fun to see that.

[mbgrayson]

GameDay showed that one a little high, right above the zone. Oh well, strike 3 on Dickerson, looking.

[jojo]

"One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight! Schlemiel! Schlemazl! Hasenpfeffer Incorporated!"

You're only supposed to take ONE of those pills every 6 hrs.....

[bucksfan2]

Great time for a squeeze.

[_Sir_Charles_]

Lou comes out to bring Zambrano a sandwich then heads back to the dugout.

[Raisor]

Sure has. Votto, Taveras and Bruce have easily been the best things about the team's offense. After that...a drop off.

Bruce is quickly catching up to Willy. Bruce's OPS is 100 points higher, WT has one more RC at this point, though he has 10 more PA's.

[jojo]

GameDay showed that one a little high, right above the zone. Oh well, strike 3 on Dickerson, looking.

I thought it was too good to let go....

[REDREAD]

Sure has. Votto, Taveras and Bruce have easily been the best things about the team's offense. After that...a drop off.

Yeah, I agree. Those three have made the team much more pleasant to watch this year (along with some of the pitchers).

[membengal]

Bruce is quickly catching up to Willy. Bruce's OPS is 100 points higher, WT has one more RC at this point, though he has 10 more PA's.

Yeah, wasn't really ordering them, just grouping the three that are not making me sad when they have bats in their hands...

[Cyclone792]

Votto steps up and laces a double to left!

[membengal]

Joey Votto is nails. Nails. Nails. And more nails.

[bucksfan2]

WOW!

[Chip R]

Hooray!

[reds44]

VOTTOINYOMOUF

[mth123]

Joey, Joey, Joey!

[_Sir_Charles_]

Double to left center gap!!! 2-0 Reds!!! Joey comes through again!

[SMcGavin]

I haven't read the whole thread so I don't know if anyone mentioned it yet, but if you have DirecTV you can watch the game on channel 665 (if you get that channel). It's in HD too.

[BearcatShane]

Votto is a stud. Wow.

[mbgrayson]

Vottomatic! Reds up 2-0.

[OnBaseMachine]

Votto! Love that guy. 2-0 Reds!

[Matt700wlw]

MVP

[durl]

Thank you for being on our team, Joey.

[TRF]

domo arigato Mr. J Votto.

[_Sir_Charles_]

LOL. Another pick off attempt goes bad. Tosses it into CF but Joey has to hold.

[durl]

Votto's approach to hitting seems very well controlled. I can't recall seeing him look flustered during a single at-bat.

[HeatherC1212]

There's a reason he's my favorite Red right now and it's not just because he's adorable, LOL ;)

VOTTOMATIC!! :D

[Raisor]

Yeah, wasn't really ordering them, just grouping the three that are not making me sad when they have bats in their hands...

Tell you the truth, I missed Bruce in your original post.

[jojo]

domo arigato Mr. J Votto.

Is that polish for en fuego? :cool:

[mbgrayson]

Zambrano is going to get rattled now. I hope.

[Chip R]

Hee Hee! Z throws the ball into CF.

[OnBaseMachine]

Hopefully they can get Votto in...

[cumberlandreds]

Sounds like Zambrano is coming unraveled. Votto is a good one isn't he? ;)

[REDREAD]

Small ball comes through again :lol:

(Just joking around, not trying to start an argument or offend anyone).

[_Sir_Charles_]

Edwin flies out to center, Joey unable to advance.

[TRF]

Is that polish for en fuego? :cool:

dunno, but it is coprighted. even quoting it makes me money.

BTW, you owe me a quarter.

[Matt700wlw]

Lou must be happy :D

[NJReds]

I can't believe they pitched to Votto in that situation.

[Hoosier Red]

A sign for someone to bring tomorrow.

"This Big Red Machine is a VOTTOMATIC"

[Chip R]

There's a reason he's my favorite Red right now and it's not just because he's adorable, LOL ;)

VOTTOMATIC!! :D


It's the unibrow, isn't it?

[membengal]

Marty B re-counting that Lou confronted Milton Bradley after the game last night and told him he wouldn't be playing again until he was ready to play hard and run hard.

So whoever had April 22 for day that "it's on, it's so on" in the Bradley vs. Pinella sweepstakes, winner winner chicken dinner.

[Raisor]

Before this game, Votto was on pace for 74 doubles.

Awe. Some.

[OnBaseMachine]

We desperately need EdE to start hitting. Phillips too.

[_Sir_Charles_]

As much as I hate to admit it, the Cardinals are playing very good ball. They just CAN'T keep hitting at that pace, can they?

[jojo]

The Cub Killer is up.....

[reds44]

lol Z is losing his mind.

[mth123]

Small ball comes through again :lol:

(Just joking around, not trying to start an argument or offend anyone).

Extra base hits help.

[mbgrayson]

Wild pitch on a rattled Z....

[reds44]

We desperately need EdE to start hitting. Phillips too.
Those two will come around. I'm not even worried.

[RichRed]

Z overheard muttering, "Damn meddling squirrels, stealing my pajamas."

[Big Klu]

I lost the radio feed! :angry:

What's happening?

[_Sir_Charles_]

Wild pitch from Z, Joey to third.

[TRF]

Bruce must get a hit now. Wild pitch advances Votto.

[Chip R]

lol Z is losing his mind.


He'd have to have one in the first place to lose it.

[cumberlandreds]

Marty B re-counting that Lou confronted Milton Bradley after the game last night and told him he wouldn't be playing again until he was ready to play hard and run hard.

So whoever had April 22 for day that "it's on, it's so on" in the Bradley vs. Pinella sweepstakes, winner winner chicken dinner.

You just knew that relationship would end badly and it will rest assured.

[mbgrayson]

Bruce steps out, working it....then grounds to 2nd.

Reds 2, Cubs 0.

[_Sir_Charles_]

The Bruce grounds out to 2nd. 2-0 Reds middle of 6th.

[jojo]

Extra base hits help.

Ya...Earl Weaver style smallball....

[TRF]

Zambrano, rattled threw 20 pitches in the 6th.

:)

I really cannot stand Zambrano.

[Raisor]

I lost the radio feed! :angry:

What's happening?


Zombies attacked, and they ate the Wrigley goat.

Sweet Lou counterattacked with second base.
