You in for the game tomorrow?

Well, I'm glad you'll be there.
I'm also glad you're planning on wearing pants. Me, I'm undecided on that.

Well, the way I see it, you have 2 options
1. Stop Going to the candy store. You know how sugary foods make you all giddy and vulnerable.
2. Stop looking when he smiles at you. Frankly, falling in love over a smile is pathetic.
In reality, I think all of this is you rebelling against your promiscuous mother, but to be honest, I think you are going to fall into the same traps that have caught her. When you can't remember if you slept with 8 women or 9 women the night before, then you have a problem.
Thanks for the call!

I think I could curl up and sleep in Nate McLouth's eyes all night long.

I was very surprised...
to find out that Nate McLouth is white. Not as suprised as I was to find out that Reggie Willits was white, but surprised, nonetheless.

George Grande: Marte is one of those rubber armed guys. He's averaged 70 games a year over the last 4 years
And he's pitched under 50 innings in 2 of those years. Rubber arm indeed.
WHY SHOULD I CHANGE IT? HE'S THE ONE WHO SUCKS!
yeah, it seems like forever ago that relievers went 100 innings in a year
Sullivan did it 4 straight years from 98-02
WHY SHOULD I CHANGE IT? HE'S THE ONE WHO SUCKS!
I liked that.
But you should have saved it for when the Reds did the owning!

4 IP, 4 HR, 8 ER. Killing my fantasy team's hopes this week. Thankfully one of the bombs was from Hanley Ramirez.

That ain't shit
I have a team where my top 5 offensive players are Miguel Cabrera, Jose Reyes, Ryan Howard, Adam Dunn, and Russell Martin. None of those guys are OPS'ing better than .700, and only 2 of them are better than .600.
"Karma - there it was. The meaning of life, straight from Carson Daly's lips to my morphine-laced ears." -Earl Hickey
yeah, my offense in general has been the balls (besides Edwin)
but my pitching needs to step it up this week.

Looks like Burton is going to be a 2 inning guy this year
I kinda like that. It's his third appearance this year where he's come out for a 2nd inning.

Baker v. Narron
It seems like Narron had a really quick TLR-esque hook last year with relievers, esp. early on. Baker doesn't seem as bad.
so...
when do you think the incompetent reds will realize they need a RH hitter on the bench...what a joke
whats this have to do with jtm?

BTW... I want a free pass on Marty.
I gave up on Marty several years ago and I have been bashing him to anyone that will listen since then.
And FWIW, I don't care that much that Marty is negative and crotchety. I just can't stand when he doesn't do his job.
I kinda like Brantley. I think he's better than most give him credit for.
And Thom is... okay. He's not as good as he gives himself credit for.

He's actually been good at taking the first pitch so far this year
only swung at 15% of them so far. But that was the worst strategic time to do it.

Still, nice outing by Volquez
And honestly, the bullpen had a good outing too. Yes, Burton gave up a homer, but it was to professional Reds killer Jason Bay, so you can't hold that against him too much. And Weathers gave us a scare, but he didn't let anyone score.
Good lord, this offense is impotent.
why did the guy wear a tuxedo to his vasectomy?
because if he was going to be impotent, he wanted to look impotent
Reds fan for 40 years!
Agreed. And agreed.
I keep thinking that when the bats heat up, the Reds might be able to roll off six or eight wins in a row.
That will be fun.

what a waste
Another outstanding pitching performance wasted by this anemic offense. Its time for Griffey and Dunn to act like fucking leaders. If they ever want a chance at the playoffs in Cincinnati, they need to take charge of this team right now. This team has talent, but the veterans seem to have very little passion.
Passion is a number too, damn it!!
The season doesn't start until the Cincinnati Reds take the field! Reclaim The Opener!!
Milwaukee and the Cubs lost
Asstros losing 8-4 in the 5th and St. Louis getting under way out west
Reds fan for 40 years!
Yup. There's the silver lining!
Even at 6-5 there aren't going to be a lot of teams in the NL with a better record than the Reds.
I love the 2008 Cincinnati Reds!
