What was the lazy umpire doing on that play? Couting the days he can go home I guess.
Throwing behind Votto......another classy play by that great organization that can do no wrong. I am George Grande and i approve this message.

If the worst team in baseball released him but the Cards, a team that we've often wished the Reds could be run in the same way, picked him up doesn't it occur to you that perhaps this is a player that needs a positive environment to thrive.Quote:

Boy, Majewski makes the Trade look better every time he pitches. I still wonder why on earth he wasn't let go much earlier, but I will say this. If Lopez is a horrible player, his statistics on a offense-starved club would look pretty good. Majewski's picture is probably in the dictionary beside the word "fodder."
It should be noted that this team also is the 2008 Reds.
let's hope that this is the last time that we ever see the majik man again...
george all excited for the ovation for pujols...sickening
Welcome to the Cardnail baseball network.
Geroge continues to manuver to be Pujhol's personal love-slave as he pimps for Pujhols for MVP.
Also, several uses of "brilliant" in reference to Albert's season. Then again, Georgie described Javy V's performance as a pitch-hitter as "brilliant".
So I'm not really sure what "brilliant" means anymore.
At least we get a better draft pick. :):D

The 2nd base umpire could have called LaRue out for being out of the baseline but he didn't. He also could have kicked LaRue out for intent, but he didn't.

Votto singles and EdE belts his 26th homer.

I would have to agree with that somewhat. He obviously has the tools but sometimes they get out of wack. I.e., that throw that he pounded into the outfield grass while trying to throw the ball in.Quote:

Impressive inning by Roenicke - he struckout all three batters he faced, though it was all on fastballs. He needs to continue working on that breaking ball during the offseason.
I never want to see Majewski in a Reds uniform again.
To call someone a 'dirty player' over his body of work based upon one play(which is not the way he played the game in a long-term major league career)is irresponsible. My opinion.Quote:

You guys were warned to move on. So move on.
Two of us or maybe a lot of us agree, but the fact that he stayed here most of the year is the $64K question. He's shown nothing but the ability to give up hits since traded for and now he's damaged or ruined any trade value he ever had (which would probably be none).Quote:

I hope he just goes away.
BTW, I reread my post (#24), and I can see where it reads on the smart-assed side. I apologize.Quote:

Moving on....Votto should be tied for ROY
So....if Votto gets a hit his last time up....his average will finish at 297.91.
That triple that was ruled an error would have made it 299.81.
Wouldn't that suck?
I believe that error got reversed.Quote:

Not to be outdone by Pettyjohn, Affeldt shows his pair, too. :D
I still never understood how Carl Morton beat out Bernie Carbo for ROY in 1970.
You guys are right however......and he will probably win.
That blown call in Houston cost Votto a 25 home run season. I can't tell you how impressed I was with Joey Votto this season.
hey...edge:rolleyes:

No, but 25 looks prettier. :DQuote:

Also thanks to you OBM for making this season of Reds baseball more interesting with your input and contribution to the board on ORG and especially in the minor league threads, you have taken many hours and time of yourself with tireless research to make this a better place to visit and to read, thank you.
Thanks for the kind words springy. I greatly appreciate it.
cc wins again...complete domination
Our team really loves that first pitch, don't they?
Hairston, Votto and Encarnacion are a combined 5-12 today, scored and drove in all the runs. The remaining 6 spots are nifty 0-12.
Lord, I think George is obsessed with the gold glove. Efvery play is gold glove when perfomed by the Cardinals. Maybe Majewski will take George with him when he goes.
