Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

You don't claim him when he is 0'fer 5 with 4 K's :r;):sh:confused:

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

Going for 3 in a row tonight! Win streak! World Series here we come! :tu

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

:bh
So close in the bottom of the ninth...

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

Stubbs for MVP! 1 - 5 with 3K's and 4 LOB! :tu

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

Janish sure was fighting to get his job back tonight. 3-4. Is that a record for him?:D

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

How 'bout them Mets? :D

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

:tg




:r

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

Huh....trade Gomes and call up Alonso. Looks like we are gonna stick him in the OF for now.

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

I'm glad to see Gomes go. I am anxious to see what Yonder can do.

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

Cairo sucks. How many errors can he get in a game :td

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

As many as Votto and Phillips and Bruce: One. ;)

How many times can Stubbs strikeout in one game? Half as many times as runners he leaves on. :td

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

Until we trade him;)
I think Alonso's being showcased right before the deadline with this call up.

Either way, it's good to see Gomes gone.:tu


I also chalk up tonight's loss to emotional problems due to the Gomes trade. He was liked by most of the clubhouse and they got little notice to say goodbye. He was actually in written in on today's lineup before the trade announcement.

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

Cueto leaves and the Mets have 6 on the board? Yet he has no earned runs.:r Heck of a defensive job by all tonight.

Seriously, I blame this one on the emotional baggage that came with the short notice of the Gomes trade.

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

They could have had 5 errors tonight. Blaming it on Gomes departure is a bit of a cop out, frankly the Mets are just playing better baseball. The Reds are playing below the level of their competition once again and are going to be lucky to salvage one out of four. :rolleyes:

8-13 in their last 21 and they are still only 4.5 games back. Its a good thing this division sucks and they are still in it, they would be 15.5 out in the East and 10 out in the West. :td

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

I disagree. The Mets had a ton of bloop singles and just lucky hits. They were also helped out by a lot of errors. I mean, Cueto only had 1 earned run.

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

They still had 12 hits and had they not left 10 on base that game could have been a blow out. Not sure which game you saw, but despite the errors helping them the Mets looked like the better team. :sh

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

Unless they changed it after the game, Cueto had no earned runs. We gave up a ton of runs on errors.

Yes, Adam, we are an error prone team this year, but the high number tonight I will chalk up to emotional baggage. Mets didn't outplay us offensively, it was our errors that did us in tonight. It wasn't the usual bases loaded and leave 'em all stranded routine that this team likes to play.

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

The Mets had the same number of hits and more base runners. The Reds couldn't string anything together and had only two strong hits themselves, whether helped by errors or not. :confused:

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

Because of our poor fielding percentage. If we played error free baseball, we would have outscored them in my opinion.

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

The Mets are going to put the ball in play. Heck they have a top five average, you have to get outs. The best player in the NL only has one hit and they are still 2-0 in the series. ;)

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

Getting outs is the key. Cueto looked like he was about to go Kung-Fu on some people in the dugout after he was pulled.:) Despite his AWESOME ERA, this team refuses to back him offensively and get him a win.

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

IDK....4 days before the trade deadline is kind of late to showcase someone. If they wanted to do that they should have called him up weeks ago. I would be surprised if they moved him now.

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

I know most of you aren't Pirates fans, but they got straight up hosed last night. :td

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

Teams have scouts in the minors. True, he should have been brought up earlier if they wanted to showcase him in the bigs, but most scouting reports say he's a big liability in LF. I think he's up here on such short notice to hide that a bit and to showcase his hitting ability only. He's a slow guy, but he can hit. He should be playing at first, but Votto has him blocked.

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

Although technically we're not out of it yet, it's pretty much a given. Once we're mathematically eliminated, I want the Pirates to take it. Pittsburgh fans deserve a win after all the crap they've been through for 20 years.

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

I follow the Pirates cuz their aaa affiliate is the Indianapolis Indians

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

"I hope that Drew Stubbs is watching Reyes to learn how to be a good leadoff hitter. Stubbs can't do many of the things that Reyes does but he could learn them.....Reyes is a real leadoff hitter that Stubbs is not." :r

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

This team just straight up sucks.

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

My Mets are giving it to the Reds again this evening. And Pelfrey sucks!! :D

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

That was a nice sliding catch by Yonder :tu

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

If beating the Reds is defining the season for the Mets, it is a sad state of affairs. The Reds are not a good baseball team, although some would lead you to believe they are. :rolleyes:

Pelfrey had as many hits as the Reds LEADOFF hitter tonight, probably because he should be in Louisville not Cincinnati. I did like the Reds broadcast team saying he should watch Reyes if he wants to TRY to be a leadoff hitter because he certainly isn't one right now. :hm

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

Swept for the first time at home since '08. This team is pathetic. How does a team with this kind of talent just flat out suck?

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

Atleast Votto seems to be in quite the groove right now. Think that's 3 games in a row with a HR. If they are wanting to unload Alonso before the trade deadline they aren't doing a good job of showcasing him before Sunday. I have a hard time believing they just brought him up to ride the pine?!

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

I'm happy when my Mets beat anyone...let alone sweep someone at their home park. :D

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

Talent. Now thats funny. There are about 5 players on their roster that would be considered a talent. Votto, Phillips, Cueto, Cordero and Rolen are about the only 5 this team couldn't really do without. No one in their outfield couldn't be upgraded. SS was a bad group before Cozart came up and is once again a liability. Catcher is a toss up, unless you could put the two of them together. Their rotation is suspect at best, 2 of them wouldn't be 5's on most rosters in the MLB. ;s

They got very lucky to win the division last year by beating terrible teams and playing the weakest schedule in baseball. Hell they won something like 25 games on the last out of the game. They were over-achievers and got run out of the playoffs. This year is just a continuation of last year with tougher competition. ;)

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

Rolen and Cordero shoudln't be on the talent list anymore.:(
Maybe I should have said potential rather than talent. We have all these players with potential, but they just don't live up to it.

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

By potential, I think you mean media driven hype. ;)

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

Trivia question for the day. What is Stubbs' average this season on 0-2 counts?

Answer:
.000
:r

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

What's his K percentage? 98%? :su:td

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

28 of 33 were Ks.
How about strikeouts vs. strikeouts looking on an 0-2 count?:r

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

He is 0-2 tonight with an 0-2 count, only 1 K though. :rolleyes:

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

Reds win! Reds win! :banger :noon :tu :) :)

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

Where do Royals fans go? I mean seriously we suck so bad we don't have our own thread. Being a Kansas City sports fan is tough.

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

Try being a Cincinnati fan. No world series wins since '90 and no super bowl wins either :td

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

posting while severly **** faced (pwssf) tigers fan! go reds! :banger :banger see you clowns at shaaackkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

That typing is way too good for being **** faced. You should have drank a few more Jon. :tu

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

Stubbs is 1 for 6 and the Reds win! What a surprise :rolleyes:

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

I had a lot to drink, however you should see some of the text messages I sent out last night, lol.

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

You got me there. Of course all our championships were before my fan days.

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

Win 2, lose 4, win 2.

Looks like Jocketty had no interest in making trades this year. Guess we're gonna have to ride it out. No matter how good a player may have been if we had made a trade, it wouldn't make a difference anyway with this team. At least Gomes is gone.
