Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

It is a nice trend for the Reds, make a good hitter then trade them away. They are great at giving offense away and getting sorry bullpen pitchers in return. I would rather have the ability to score 10 runs than the pitchers who give up 10 runs :bh

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

I was happy when Jocketty came over. I thought he might end this type of $h!t. I guess not. Fire Dusty, have Jocketty talk his boy LaRussa in to coming over for a season or two, and get us one more good bat in the lineup and we'll have us a damn good team.

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

I really don't think Dusty is making the decisions, they likely come from the top down. He tries to work with what he has, which frankly isn't too much, particularly in his pitching staff. Upper management has made most of the decisions to let big bats move along and it has cost them in the ability to push runs across, they leave a ton of runs sitting on the base paths. They have what appear to be 3 good starters, one who is hit or miss and one who could be good someday. Their middle relief is so up and down it is ridiculous, still not sold on Weathers as the go-to setup man and even their closer isn't a shut-down kind of guy (we need a Papelbon or Rivera type of closer, hard to find I know, but somehow they have to find one). Just my observations, but some of it is pretty clear. :tu

Tonight we go nose to nose with the 'Stros. If we can't win this series, we might as well hang it up and try again next year. Despite Wednesday's loss, we still look decent.

We are going against Oswalt who is a Reds killer. Let's make Oswalt pay for screwing over team USA in the WBC

If the Cubs lose today and we win, then we'll be second in the Central.

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

Our offense looks like pure sh!t tonight! :(

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

I can't belive Cueto walked the pitcher and then walked in the run :mad:

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

2 run home run! :dance: :wo :D

Looks like they control their own destiny. If they win out they will be in the playoffs :tu

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

Not looking good tonight.

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

Shutout:bh

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

That sucked :(

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

1-0 Houston. Let's get those bats workin' boys!

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

Take the lead 3-1. Go Owings!

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

Sounds good Andy.

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

Game's not over yet. We might find a way to screw it up yet.

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

Quoted for the truth.

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

Edwin Encarnacion made a great play before, which is surprising.

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

EE is not the error machine that he was last year. Ever since he hit that grand slam against the BrewCrew he hasn't done a lick for offense.

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

And this one belongs to the Reds!

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

Nice win!

Arroyo takes the mound in a few minutes for the Redlegs.

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

Go REDS!

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

Nice first inning so far :tu

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

It was nice to finally see Edwin Encarnacion get a hit.

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

Game's on ESPN tonight (switching on and off between us and the Pirates/Fish game)!

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

Two jacks put us down 3-2. Get those bats ready, boys!

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

Win or lose, this is one of the best games we've played this year.

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

Too close for comfort.

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

Wow! Rhodes showed some impressive pitching!

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

Great fastball for a veteran like Rhodes! Stayed in the 93-96 range.

Re: Red's Fans Check in

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

I think the strikeout pitch was borderline, but I'm not complaining ;)

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

This one belongs to the Reds!

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

:wo Cordero looked great.

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

5-2 on the road. Much better than last year so far. Got a hard series starting tomorrow though. Glad we got rid of Whiffey and Dunng...

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

Already won a couple of the series that they didn't win last year. Only 8 all of last season. Good to see they didn't blow it with the bullpen. The close ones are always the ones that worry me with the Reds. :tu

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

Too many nailbiters this season so far. But at least we're winning.:tu

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

True that :tu

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

Ah the reds got to love them.:wo

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

Time for a late rally...
