Reds vs Cards 9/28/08 Final Game...sigh

Re: Reds vs Cards 9/28/08 Final Game...sigh
The last game of the season is always the saddest day of the year for me.
-
Re: Reds vs Cards 9/28/08 Final Game...sigh
I wish the season wasn't over :( went by too fast. At least we get a break from watching Patterson play for a while
-
Re: Reds vs Cards 9/28/08 Final Game...sigh
The Cardinals are thinking about signing Kyle Lohse to a LTC? I hope they do. Hopefully they give him about 8-10 million per year over 3/4 years.

Re: Reds vs Cards 9/28/08 Final Game...sigh
Why would George say that we should give Jason LaRue credit for saying that he doesn't like the way Hairston plays the game, so he went after him at 2B last night?
I've lost a lot of respect for LaRue after that.
-
Re: Reds vs Cards 9/28/08 Final Game...sigh
LOL. Brad Thompson throws behind Votto, trying to hit him. What the hell is that? Don't take it out on Votto just because Jason LaRue is a dirty player.
-
Re: Reds vs Cards 9/28/08 Final Game...sigh
Pettyjohn needs to drill both LaRue and Thompson.
1-0 Reds on a Votto sac fly.

George thinks every player deserves our credit and respect. He thinks Patterson is a silver slugger

Re: Reds vs Cards 9/28/08 Final Game...sigh
What's wrong with the way Hairston plays the game, anyway? IMO, he seems like a pretty heady player with a lot of baseball intelligence.
-
Re: Reds vs Cards 9/28/08 Final Game...sigh
Welch supposing that hitting infront of Pujols "might" have helped Lopez to hit better.
He further supposed that what really has driving Felipe's season is the better discipline in St. Louis.
:barf:
-
Re: Reds vs Cards 9/28/08 Final Game...sigh
Pettyjohn is a nice story and all, but he doesn't have the stuff to get hitters out. He'll be lucky to make it through four or five innings.
-
Re: Reds vs Cards 9/28/08 Final Game...sigh
Just watching Patterson hit makes me ill. He doesn't seem to fit here and yet we see him game after game. His average has risen, but his approach at the plate is horrible.
My biggest fear is seeing Patterson in CF on opening day.
-
Re: Reds vs Cards 9/28/08 Final Game...sigh
Votto looking furrious after Richar muffs the pop-up.
Then again, Votto almost always looks like he's mad at something. A very serrious young man.
-
Re: Reds vs Cards 9/28/08 Final Game...sigh
Looks like the Bad News Bears out there.
-
Re: Reds vs Cards 9/28/08 Final Game...sigh
Uh...what the hell just happened?
Was Bruce throwing the ball to anybody or just winging it back into the infield and hoping someone picks it up?
-
Re: Reds vs Cards 9/28/08 Final Game...sigh
Why doesn't GG get called out for comments like that by CW?
What kind of comment is that by LaRue....a complete joke.
Q up the Bad News bears music
-
Re: Reds vs Cards 9/28/08 Final Game...sigh
For having the reputation of being a good defensive OF, Jay Bruce is pretty brutal sometimes.
-
Re: Reds vs Cards 9/28/08 Final Game...sigh
Well, I had hoped to check on the last game of the year to see some baseball.
I didn't realize I could have gone down to the local youth league fields and seen the same level of play.
-
Re: Reds vs Cards 9/28/08 Final Game...sigh
So instead of a 1-2-3 inning, Richar muffs a pop up that leads to two runs scoring. Sounds familiar.
-
Re: Reds vs Cards 9/28/08 Final Game...sigh
To really rub in the misery, now Majewski is warming up in the bullpen.
And George "Smiling George" Grande is sure to work in a reference to "Coco Cordero".
Ok...I give up. I'm in too foul of mood to watch this garbage.
-
Re: Reds vs Cards 9/28/08 Final Game...sigh
Lopez is hot. Since coming to StL, 42 games ago, his OBP is .415, is hitting on the high side of .360, and has raised his season OBP to .339.
Someone said early after The Trade that it would take a few years to see how good or bad it was. If Lopez continues to hit similar to this, the Trade will be worse than a disaster, considering the Reds' shortstop troubles since the transaction.

Lopez was released by the worst team in baseball. I'm not defending the trade, but that tells you how bad he is. Plus he's awful defensively anywhere you put him, especially at SS.

I'm sure it's Keppinger's fault.
On the subject of Bruce, I think he is eventually destined for LF. Maybe Walt should look for a right-handed thumper who can play RF. (Doesn't Magglio play RF?)
-
Re: Reds vs Cards 9/28/08 Final Game...sigh
The Reds appear to be phoning in today's game.

Why? The guy is a good right fielder. I'm not ready to give up on him at age 21 just because he's made a few errors.

Just that it seems that Kepp has become everyone's whipping boy in the INF, like Patterson has in the OF.

Jason LaRue has never been considered a 'dirty player' by anyone that knows anything about baseball.

I'm not giving up on him at the plate, but I don't see him as a good defensive RF--I think he's below average in RF. However, he could be average to above average in LF, with work.

I know something about baseball and I saw him commit a very dirty play last night. He openly admitted he doesn't like Jerry Hairston Jr. and he tried to hurt him for no reason. That's dirty. I always like Jason LaRue but I lost a ton of respect for him after last night.

Hey Chris ...how about we do not forget what happened with laRue next year and bean him in the ribs his first AB next year.

Pettyjohn plunks Larue in the ankle on the first pitch.

I disagree. I think he's a good right fielder. He's made his share of errors but he's 21 years old. If he's still making these same mistakes in two years then I would consider moving him to LF.

Then what would you call that slide last night?
I always liked LaRue when he was with the Reds, and even when he was with the Royals and Cards, at least until his comments regarding Hairston after the play last night. But if it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck....
Pettyjohn may not have a colon, but he has a pair.... ;)

Re: Reds vs Cards 9/28/08 Final Game...sigh
Just saw the replay of the LaRue/Harriston incident from last night.
Anybody, who knows anything about baseball, knows that was a dirty play.

Thank you. That was one of the dirtiest plays I have ever seen.

Re: Reds vs Cards 9/28/08 Final Game...sigh
And Pettyjohn has left the building--or the field.
