Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

Do the Reds just really hate when Willis pitches? He has had 6 quality starts and has zero wins. :td

Stubbs update 1-4 with 2K's, now over the 150 mark upping his MLB lead! :hm

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

Heck Stubbs is only 39 off the Top 10 in a Seaon... I really think he doesn't want A. Dunn to be the only one on the list...

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

Heck, Stubby at his current rate of 151 SO/ 116 Games (played by the Reds) = 1.30SO/game, he's on pace to make it to tied for #2 all time single season (211). Way to go Stubbs, at least you'll do something spectacular this season!

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

Would that get him in the Hall of Fame? Or at least the Reds Hall of Fame? :confused:

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

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

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

Wow no comment about yer boy Stubbs, did you just write an if/then program to check the Reds score and post that whenever they win..?

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

Yep. Hey are you ever going to smoke with us again?

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

Stubbs is 0'fer and adds 2 K's, he wants that MLB record. And the Reds win without him again. :r

Whilst watching the game the other day, one of the Reds announcers made the assertion, "I always thought Stubbs was the fastest player in the NL, but maybe now I think Campana might be faster." Now that is comedy. He might not even be the fastest guy on the Reds, and he is certainly not even close to the fastest guy in the NL :td

96.7% of Dan's posts in this thread are "Red Win", unfortunately there are less and less of them lately. :sh

Nothing like taking one out of three from the Rockies and getting out played in all of them. Only 11 games back, time to make a run :tu

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

Tonight... assuming its not 10000000 degrees again... oh yeah, we also got together 2 weeks ago at the Pub, guess you didn't feel like coming :td

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

I know Stubbs is fast, but getting a runner on is the most important thing, its way past time to look for someone who isnt leading the universe in strikeouts as your leadoff batter... at least A. Dunn had the decency to strike out a Gazillion times batting 4th ;).

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

That pub sucks. The guy bit**es about smoking in the bar, yet he allows everyone else to chain smoke cigarettes in there. Screw him.

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

I've been in there a half dozen times and never heard a SINGLE complaint about cigars. I think you're making stuff up now.

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

Whatever. I was there with Patrick and Toney when it happened. Ask 'em :tu

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

Reds win? WTF?

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

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

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

Stubbs record watch: +3 today, on pace for 216 :tu

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

He really needs to up his pace if he's going to set the single season record... oh and for the record "he has power" should not be your leadoff hitter, he should be your 3,4,5 hitter... at least if he's 5/6 and he strikes out 200+ times you can claim "he hit for power" just ask Adam Dunn.

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

Three in a row? A little too late now...

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

Reds win! Reds win! :banger :banger :banger :banger :banger

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

10 games back for the Reds. I hope they can at least make it interesting. Maybe finish better than the Birds.

Doubtful. They're gonna have a hard enough time staying above Pittsburgh.


On a brighter note, Thank God I'm not a Bengals fan.:D

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

At this point, they might be happier to stay above the Cubs. Luckily they have the Cubs and Astros a few times down the stretch. .500 is a distinct possibility. :tu

One away from being only single digits out of the race!! :banger :tu :) :noon :tu

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

4 in a row?

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

How about Stubbs batting at the number 5 spot recently... now, he can hit for power.... finally a good move by Dusty, get the strikeout king out of the leadoff spot and stick he somewhere you can hide him ;) Oh and for those keeping score... D. Stubs 2/4, 1 SO... bringing his league leading SO total to 157.

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

Hope Willis is ok.

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

Stubbs adds another one today, now just 10 away from last season's total. :tu

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

Where's Dan? :banger :tu :) :noon :tu

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

Arroyo cleared waivers. Looks like we're on the hook for his contract.

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

Looks like the Alonso experiment is back on in LF. I wish this organization would make up their mind. Play him in LF, send him down to play 3b, or just trade him outright. It's starting to get old.

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

I am glad they are playing him. Dude can hit.

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

But he's worse than Dunn in LF.

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

Stubbs back in the lead-off and back to batting .250. What is Dusty doing? The kid has his average go down batting lower in the order so he moves him back to the leadoff? :hm :c :confused: :td

1 K away from 160 and 13 up on the next closest. :tu

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

Bruce is having a career year. If only he could learn to be consistent, he'd be up there with Votto. Monster May and a great August, yet the rest of the season is horrid.
At least he's better than Stubbs.:)

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

If his April, June and July weren't complete trash he could be having a much better season. He just passed the 12 homeruns he hit in May with 14 for the rest of the season. His consistency is crap, and he is still on pace for 150+ homeruns. I'll be interested to see where his stats go when Votto and Phillips leave in a few seasons. I am not sure he can handle being the focus of the team. :hm

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

Phillips better not be leaving. He's the face of the organization imho. I know Votto's gonna be gone soon, but if they let BP go, I'm gonna be seriously p!ssed. That would be like the Yankees telling Jeter to go to hell.

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

Agreed.

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

Not even close to the Jeter analogy, he had more than double the years with the Yankees and has a handful of rings with them as well. He has had very admirable seasons here but he certainly doesn't have the persona that Jeter does in New York and the MLB ;s

He is the face of the franchise per-se, but does a player who is an All-Star and Gold Glover want to stay in Cincinnati for possibly less money than he could get elsewhere playing for a contender? :sh

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

I'm not comparing BP to Jeter stat-wise nor does he bring anywhere near the media presence that Jeter does. No, BP will never be even close to Jeter, I agree. But he does the same thing when it comes to PR. BP is the one who sticks around and meets the fans. He's the guy who the front office calls on when they need someone to make an appearance for the team. He's the one who goes to all the fan events. He's the one who holds contests for the fans and interacts with them in ways the rest of the team doesn't do.

Brandon has a love for the town of Cincinnati and I do believe he would play for this team even though he gets a higher offer from somewhere else (as long as Cincy doesn't low-ball him). The only team I could see him wanting to go to over the Reds is Atlanta b/c that's where his family is.

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

Yeah, Brandon has said before that he wants to be a Red for life. I have confidence in Jocketty/Castellini that they won't low ball a superstar/gold glover. This isn't retard Mike Brown after all.

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

Cordero is a turd & almost blew another game for the redlegs

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

He'll be off the books next year anyways. With many in Cincy clamoring for the young guys to take over the catcher spot, LF, SS, and 3B, I'm wondering why we're not hearing about seeing what someone else can do in the closer spot (please not Chapman).

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

Did he get the save? Oh yeah, he did. :noon:noon:noon:D:banger

He has only blown 6 this year.

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

12.5 games back :banger :tu :D
3rd place, only 3 games below .500


Drew Stubbs adds one to his league leading total, no hits either. :tu
