[RedsMan3203]

*starts beating redsman3203 over the head repeatedly* Are you NUTS!!!!!! You never SAY IT!!!!!!

Yes.

[kaldaniels]

I like how in the midst of all the HD commercials you got the farmersonly ad that looks like it was filmed in the 80's.

[The Operator]

Isn't it time the jinx thing died? If Vin Scully's policy is to talk about it, that's good enough for me.If Vin approves then that works for me.

[Hollcat]

Hey, how did Brandon get that out?

Struck out on two pitches!

Actually don't know, I was typing a post

[OldRightHander]

Hey, how did Brandon get that out?

Grounder to third.

You're in Kentucky, so they have "Toothlessonly.com" :)

New Albany IN....is not exactly the Cultural center of the universe....:thumbup:

Grounder to third.

Just trying to keep us on topic...

Farmers Only is taking over the world...

Cozy singles to LF.

[Kc61]

Cozart can play on my team any day.

[reds44]

Helluva AB.

[The Operator]

Cozart with a solid single to left.

[15fan]

Outstanding AB by Cozart.

Outstanding.

[_Sir_Charles_]

Cozart looks completely lost. *grin* Just kidding.

[wheels]

Nice at bat by Cozart.

[smith288]

New Albany IN....is not exactly the Cultural center of the universe....:thumbup:
Ohio buddy. I'm high brow.

[vaticanplum]

Cozart is a prince.

[Virginia Beach Reds]

No farmersonly ad here in CA (Sacramento).

No farmersonly.com ad in Cincinnati. This website is so lame. LOL!!!

[Roy Tucker]

Cozart found the map

[kaldaniels]

Pretty much everyone in the lineup has shown up the past 2 days.

Somehow people who believe in sabermetrics also believe in jinxes.

[kaldaniels]

I just went to farmersonly looking for that special someone. I thought I found her but turns out she's a soybean girl. Corn only for me.

[NJReds]

Send Cozart.

[reds44]

Def sending Cozy.

[gilpdawg]

That almost looked like a balk.

[Reds Fanatic]

Votto lines a single to left.

[The Operator]

Votto is heating up!

[Tom Servo]

that bum Votto with another single

[RedsMan3203]

Votto singles to LF.

Pitching change.

[_Sir_Charles_]

Joey with another hit! Love it!!!

[Degenerate39]

Damn near an infield fly

[durl]

This inning is starting to look like the last one. I hope it has the same results.

[Reds Fanatic]

2nd straight night the Giants starter can't get to the 6th.

[OldRightHander]

Votto with the solid single and Bumgardner is gone.

[vaticanplum]

Who does Votto think he is?

[George Foster]

We just smoked their 2 best pitchers

Votto now 2-3. Nice.

They've worked Madison into the ground tonight......and there he goes.

[Matt700wlw]

The Reds are picking a good time for the bats to heat up :)

[Yachtzee]

Bye bye Bumgardner

[vaticanplum]

Damn near an infield fly

:lol:

[_Sir_Charles_]

Bye-bye Madison.

[NJReds]

Didn't send him, didn't matter. Hard single to left for JV. Goodnight, Madison.

[marcshoe]

And Madison Square Bumgardner is toast.

[Reds Fanatic]

George Kontos in to pitch

[Roy Tucker]

The Reds are picking a good time for the bats to heat up :)

Indeed. This is good.

[George Foster]

Anybody want the #1 seed now???


You know it will change our luck when we have to change channels? back ti TBS after Yankee game..

[Tom Servo]

Uh oh, Kontos.

[OldRightHander]

Anybody want the #1 seed now???


You know it will change our luck when we have to change channels? back ti TBS after Yankee game..

Maybe they'll go extras.

[BCubb2003]

I wonder if Votto has ever hit into an infield fly.

[RedsMan3203]

6 of 7 hits are singles.

[vaticanplum]

Bumgarner is kind of cute when he's sad. Take that, Dianna Agron.

[_Sir_Charles_]

Dang. DP.

[Tom Servo]

blergh

[WVRedsFan]

Yuck. Helluva play

[Reds Fanatic]

Ludwick grounds into a 6-4-3 DP. Belt barely stayed on the bag. 4-0 Reds mid 5th.

[RedsMan3203]

Arroyo needs to step it up here...

[vaticanplum]

Oh god, Bumgarner is 23.

[George Foster]

Ludwick grounds into a 6-4-3 DP. Belt barely stayed on the bag. 4-0 Reds mid 5th.

I'll take it.

[Hoosier Red]

This Reds team is kind of a new experience for me. Historically the best Reds teams have always been built on offense...sometimes bullpen and defense too. This team can make me feel pretty comfortable with a one or two run lead...4 runs? Fugeddaboudit! :thumbup:

No kidding. I remember watching a game earlier in the season where the Reds were trailing 2-1 or 3-1 in the 3rd or 4th inning and feeling nervous. I remember thinking, "Huh, this is odd, but I have to acknowledge the Reds may not come back."

Of course they did come back and tied it. And I remember thinking as soon as the game was tied that everything was fine and clearly the Reds were going to win the game.

On this August day I realized that if the Reds have a lead I pretty much expect them to win every time because it's a pretty reasonable expectation that the other team wont score any more runs. In fact if it's gotten to the 4th or 5th inning and it's tied, I pretty much expect the Reds to win because it's quite reasonable to expect that the Reds will be the next team to score, and it's already the fourth inning so the opponent has already scored as much as they are going to score.

I have absolutely never had this much confidence in a team. I don't know how to explain it.

[Brutus]

Kontos: "That's what I'm talking about."

Me too, George. Me too.

[Roy Tucker]

I wonder if Votto has ever hit into an infield fly.

Twice in his career I think.

[George Foster]

Arroyo needs to step it up here...

ya 12 in a row...is not getting it done.

[Tom Servo]

Oh god, Bumgarner is 23.
I am 23 in a few weeks. I look like a 16 year old compared to Bumgarner.

[PuffyPig]

Arroyo needs to step it up here...

I think it would be OK if he simply continues on his present course.

[OldRightHander]

Hoppah!

[vaticanplum]

anybody else getting the Hopper commercial?

[RedsMan3203]

The Hoooooooopar...

[reds44]

I hope that entire family in that "hopper" Dish commercial chokes on their clam chowder and dies.

[Degenerate39]

Need more Shamalamadingdong commericals

[_Sir_Charles_]

I just saw this on the twitter feed during the commercials on MLB.TV "Charlie Sheen wearing reds gear at the game. #winning" :O)

[The Operator]

Indeed. This is good.Bats are no longer afraid.

[Tom Servo]

I hope that entire family in that "hopper" Dish commercial chokes on their clam chowder and dies.
It's Chowda. CHOWDA.

[Virginia Beach Reds]

I think it would be OK if he simply continues on his present course.

Yes, I am fine with this.

[RedsMan3203]

I think it would be OK if he simply continues on his present course.

True - Was just saying that was a big play for SF - Keep it rolling, keep the mo on the Reds side.

[OesterPoster]

Yeah, annoying commercial...just like their radio ad with a Peter Griffin soundalike voice over.

[The Operator]

I hope that entire family in that "hopper" Dish commercial chokes on their clam chowder and dies.Thank you! My parents love that commercial but it annoys me to no end.

[smith288]

They just said he's perfect through 4!!!

[Reds Fanatic]

Nice play by Cozart. 1 out.

[OldRightHander]

Strong throw there by Cozart.

[vaticanplum]

This team is in some kind of zone, I'll tell you what.

[reds44]

Cozy retires Posey!

[kaldaniels]

I hope that entire family in that "hopper" Dish commercial chokes on their clam chowder and dies.

Totally off topic but I can't get past the Dish ads that pretend them not having the NFL package is better than Directv having it.

[Reds Fanatic]

Lincecum is going to warm up

[George Foster]

Giants are BUMMIN...there body language is horrible

[smith288]

Pence even looks goofy running.

[Reds Fanatic]

Pence grounds out to 3rd. 2 outs.

[_Sir_Charles_]

Lincecum warming

[reds44]

You know there was weed in the pouch of Lincecum's hoodie.

[kaldaniels]

Tim Lincecum. Mop-up man.

[OesterPoster]

Pence just hit a choppa.

[George Foster]

Lincecum is going to warm up

Bob Gibson could warm up and it would not matter...they have to score 5 runs.:thumbup::thumbup:

Lincecum looks like that Wiley Wiggins kid from Dazed and Confused.

[vaticanplum]

I love it when people talk about Hunter Pence looking goofy and then Tim Lincecum waltzes onscreen.

[Degenerate39]

Who's starting game 3 for the Giants?

[Wonderful Monds]

Did I just hear that right that Bronson is doing a thing through almost 5?

[edabbs44]

Tim Lincecum. Mop-up man.

It would be amazing if Stubbs took him deep.

Lincecum does't look socially inept.

It's a state secret.

And there goes the no-hitter.

[Reds Fanatic]

Lincecum looks like that Wiley Wiggins kid from Dazed and Confused.

That is great. I never noticed before. It is like his twin.

Belt singles

[_Sir_Charles_]

Okay, don't have to worry about not talking about it. First hit.

[Wonderful Monds]

Well, that's out of the way now.

[edabbs44]

Did I just hear that right that Bronson is doing a thing through almost 5?

Great timing.

[RBA]

Trivia: Where did the Giants play at home before AT&T Park?

[Hollcat]

Everytime Lincecum had a good outing in the second half the national media would declare him to be back. He'd promptly go out and stink the next time out.

[kaldaniels]

Vogelsong game 3.

[RedsfaninMT]

Four runs is not enough. Bronson could get dinged to cut this lead in half in a hurry.

[Redsfan320]

RBA, the answer is Candlestick Park.

320

66 pitches for Arroyo through 5.

[Tom Servo]

Pac Bell? Three Com? Pac Com? Candlepack?

PacBell.

:D You got it. I thought I'll trick you guys.

[Kc61]

66 pitches for Arroyo through five innings.

[smith288]

Where do I go to get my prize?

[marcshoe]

Polo Grounds. Way before.

[OesterPoster]

Lincecum is coming in. Didn't even warm up?

[_Sir_Charles_]

Lincecum in.

[Reds Fanatic]

Update from the other game. Yankees had 2 on with no outs in the 7th and failed to score. Still 2-2 mid 7th.

[RBA]

Where do I go to get my prize?

Behind the Travelodge across the river.

[wheels]

I had a dream about the Polo Grounds the other night. I have no idea why.

[Tom Servo]

Polo Grounds. Way before.
My dad actually attended the last Giants home game at the Polo Grounds. :)

[BCubb2003]

Cinergy Field.

[Degenerate39]

Lincecum must be stoned

[Captain Hook]

This is crazy!

[Reds Fanatic]

Wow this is bizarre. No one say Lincecum warm up

[kaldaniels]

What the h is going on with Lincecum. No warm ups?

[reds44]

Lincecum must be stoned
You could say this at any time and be right.

[Reds Fanatic]

By the way. Double switch with Nady in to play left

[Phhhl]

Wow, what a major blunder by Bochy. Lincecum is pitching on 8 warmup pitches...

[Hollcat]

Hit one in the bay Jay!

[vaticanplum]

Update from the other game. Yankees had 2 on with no outs in the 7th and failed to score. Still 2-2 mid 7th.

Girardi tried to bunt Jeter with two on and no outs. Postseason!

[_Sir_Charles_]

What the h is going on with Lincecum. No warm ups?

What do you mean? He was warming up last inning.

And prior to that, most likely.....

Ooooh, close.

Lincecum's hair is shinier than Arroyo's.

[smith288]

Leave it to the chick...

[Reds Fanatic]

Rolen grounds out to 2nd.

[D-Man]

Girardi tried to bunt Jeter with two on and no outs. Postseason!

That was against righty-killer Darren O'Day, correct? .584 OPS against righty hitters.

[_Sir_Charles_]

What did you see?

I saw several warm up pitches. But as I put in the last post, they've got indoor batting cages/pitching mounds behind the dugouts.

[Tornon]

Kinda glad Lincecum didn't start

[Tom Servo]

Ugly AB for Hanigan.

[kaldaniels]

Isn't a pitch off the rubber?

Yea, go crazy Giant fans!! lol

The Reds are making this Lincecum guy look good.

[durl]

Giants fans are thrilled but they're still down 4-0.

[edabbs44]

Crowd is wigging, you would think they just tied it up. Can't let them get any sort of legit momentum here.

[smith288]

There you go... Warmups are overrated.

[RedsMan3203]

Have you ever had deja deja deja deja vu?

[Reds Fanatic]

Hanigan strikes out swinging. Lincecum goes off the mound like they just won the series. 4-0 Reds mid 6th.

[reds44]

Whoop it gangnam style

[Hollcat]

Hanigan strikes out swinging. Lincecum goes off the mound like they just wont the series. 4-0 Reds mid 6th.

Just wait, Stubbs will light him up.

[NJReds]

That woke up the crowd.

[vaticanplum]

That was against righty-killer Darren O'Day, correct? .584 OPS against righty hitters.

Yes. It wasn't without merit, just struck me as a bit bizarre given Jeter's postseason reputation.

[Tadasimha]

That's bush league, bro

[Captain Hook]

That woke up the crowd.

Maybe they could pull a few guys out of the crowd to hit for SF?

[OldRightHander]

I get a customer calling at this time of night, during a playoff game. They're lucky I answered the phone.

[NJReds]

Yes. It wasn't without merit, just struck me as a bit bizarre given Jeter's postseason reputation.

Jeter will sometimes bunt on his own. Girardi might not have called it.

[Reds Fanatic]

Crawford grounds out to 2nd.

[RBA]

The pitcher with the longest hair doesn't win.

[_Sir_Charles_]

Isn't a pitch off the rubber?

I'm confused. maybe we're not talking about the same thing.

I saw him throw several in the bullpen area during the last half of the inning. But I know some giants pitchers warm up in the heated area behind the dugout (which have raised mounds and pitching rubbers). I don't know if Tim did there, but I certainly don't think Bochy would risk a pitcher by not giving him enough time to warm up. What are YOU talking about?

[The Operator]

That woke up the crowd.They must have thought Cueto got injured again.

[Tom Servo]

Dude looks like a Nady

[Reds Fanatic]

I'm confused. maybe we're not talking about the same thing.

It looked like Lincecum was totally surprised when they put him in the game.

Yup, they were rolling in the aisles yesterday.

Careful man, let's not jinx it here when we got Arroyo out there who has been known to lose it so quick he can give up a leadoff three run homer.

So for the record you say Lincecum warmed up properly? I say he did not.

3 up 3 down for Bronson. Wowsers!

[Tom Servo]

Nice!

Yeah that really jinxed Bronson.

The Giants a absolutely feckless.

[Reds Fanatic]

Pagan flies out to left. 4-0 Reds after 6. Giants are really getting frustrated.

[RedsMan3203]

Arroyo is 19 for 20.... Saaaaaaaaweeet.

[Kc61]

After this game, Bronson Arroyo is going to demand a trade to the Giants. He loves this stadium.

[NJReds]

Arroyo quiets the crowd again. 1-2-3.

[reds44]

Better play gangnam style again.

[The Operator]

Yup, they were rolling in the aisles yesterday.It was awful. That's why I love that The Reds are sticking it to them in their house.

[George Foster]

On the roaps...On the roaps...

[OldRightHander]

Pagan showing some major frustration there. Bronson is flat out dealing tonight.

[_Sir_Charles_]

It looked like Lincecum was totally surprised when they put him in the game.

Ah, okay. That part I missed. But he most definitely warmed up. He was up throwing more than half of the last half inning.

[smith288]

I love seeing Pagan get mad like that. His tears taste so yummy

[wheels]

Better play gangnam style again.

What is gangman style?

[Reds Fanatic]

That was a 9 pitch inning. 75 pitches for Arroyo.

[Tom Servo]

On the roaps...On the roaps...

He was tossing but the announcers and cameras noted he did not throw off the rubber or from a windup.

Nope, Bowden.

Phillips with a double inside the 3B bag. Like to see another hit by Cozart.

Jay Bruce? Bailey?

cant believe we are this close to 2-0

Easy. We've all seen the Reds blow bigger leads than this.

One batter at a time here.

[Tornon]

Jay Bruce? Bailey?

They were the work of Dan O

Starting to think the Reds' offense was intentionally snowing us in September. I'll have to see if I can forgive them.

He definitely flipped the switch for the post-season!
