Game Thread 9-23-05 Reds vs Phils

Get 'em over, get 'em in, just like Gary "Sarge" Matthews told the Baseball Bunch.

Olmedo grounds out to move Kearns over, then Harang brings the rib-eye with another GB.

Dunn called out and a horrible pitch, IMO.

It wasn't until the DanO announcement two days ago that the game threads keeled over.

This team is about as thrilling as having your soft parts shaved with a jagged and rusty razor.

Ow! :laugh:

Freel singles and Lopez walks, but Dunn ends the inning. 3-1 Phils after 3.

IYO, IMO, IJNO, IDO, In-Everybody's-O except the Umpire's.

Narron almost got himself run from the dugout after that Inning. Ridiculous strike call.

Miley got thrown out once in NY this year, but is that it? I firmly believe a manager needs to get run once every other month just to keep the fire going.

Aurilia smacks a single leading off the fourth, but Valentin Caseys him out.

Utley homers, 4-1 bad guys

Go ahead, explain to me what happened two day ago that suddenly made the game threads as dead as those on an NFL Sunday. Anything in particular happen with the team that day that comes to mind?

I think tonight is the night that the Reds unleash Booker again.

:)

Utley flogs homer #23 for the Phils. 4-1, bottom of 4.

People finally realized the Reds stink and decided to do something else?

:evil:
