6/9/09 - Reds vs Nationals

[KoryMac5]

Eckstein screaming at the ump "Your terrible, that call was terrible". It was an awful call but when you have won only 14 games on the year things don't go your way.

I guess the ump was tired of this game too.

That was a contender vs non-contender call. It's been a while since I see one for the benefit of our guys.

Doesn't matter. They should call it right.

[Bob Borkowski]

Reds 2.5 out and in 2nd place.

Yep, and Cubs and Cards are 2.5 out as well.

[Caveat Emperor]

Good recovery by Cueto after an awful first inning.

At least the Reds won to salvage an otherwise "Eh..." day for Reds fans, what with the uninspiring draft choices the team made tonight.

[Tom Servo]

Pssh details.



2nd place!

[kaldaniels]

Two bonus outs on ball 4 pitches. They'll take it. Very big momentum win.....Reds 2.5 out and in 2nd place.
Hard to imagine where they could be with a healthy Votto and EE....and getting WT to the pine.

Holy cow. 3-way logjam for 2nd place.

Please just end this game, honestly this might be the most boring professional sporting event I've ever watched. It's like the only people there are drunks howling at the moon.

Boring?

No my friend, the cold gray days during the off season are boring.

[Ron Madden]

Willy T was brought in for speed, thought he might steal 65 bases this season. Unfortunately I doubt Willy gets to 30 the way he has been going. Baker needs to transition him to the bench.

Chris Dickerson could acquire more bases and avoid more outs than Taveras does, while playing a better defensive CF. (JMHO)

So, it seems. And WT isn't much of platoon player either: lifetime OPS vs LHP: .647 and vs RHP .660.

That's just your typical southeast Washington DC citizen you are hearing.

Considering the economy its not surprisng that the Gnats are starting to struggle at the box office. The economy hasn't been hit as hard in this area as some other areas of the country. But it still has had an effect. With as bad as they have been people just don't won't to spend their extra money on a really bad baseball team.

Golly...seems to me we've heard that somewhere before?

I was amused by the commercial the Nats broadcast ran during the game where the "fan" enthuses about the "big game" where the Nats knocked the Mets out of first place last September. At least they're being honest about their lack of success.
