Rod Flemings picked Hawaii. I can see why he’s having trouble qualifying.
fuck the heck?
i don’t know what to say about that
In the end, life and business are about human connections. And computers are about trying to murder you in a lake. And to me the choice is easy.

after doing a little research...no
it seems Gillispie didn’t offer him a scholarship because he’s not gonna qualify. There’s an ex division one coach that’s now a recruiting guy that says you would have to pretty blatantly break a lot of rules to get him qualified, and the NCAA is aware of it. I really don’t see why Gillispie wasted his time on this.

How can I shoose Art of Pizza over Petes right up the street?
Actually, with the late game, my wife and I went to Cafe 28 for dinner and drinks. I’m ready to hit the fridge for her leftovers already.
You gotta try it at least once
Best pizza I ever ate.

Fine, I'll give it a try and let you know what I think.
Maybe I’ll stop by and tell them I’m on my way to Petes and try to spring a deal.
First pitch, swing, outs.
I was recalling today how Barry Larkin always… ALWAYS… took the first pitch. It worked pretty well for him.
As far as I can tell Larkin amassed 226 hits by swinging at the first pitch

That’s why he’s my favorite.

It's clear
The Reds could not beat the Ohio Dominican College baseball team.

SHORTSTOP, STOP SWINGING AT THE FIRST PITCH!!!!

In Edwin's defense
that real close to the pitch he was looking for.
other than that, we’re 25 games in to another 70 win season. I’m sick of this shit.
Brendon, there's nothing wrong with lying to women. Or the government. Or parents. Or God.
and that's why we have Dusty and Walt
they hate losing and won’t stand for it.
I was just thinking that
They said we’re not going to lose any more.
We haven’t won since Krivsky was fired.

After a particularly disappointing loss by the Reds, George Grande sending me off to commercial immediately followed by the Extra Innings logo: “Good Night!”
It may as well say “You Lost! AGAIN! Your Bill Is In The Mail! See You Tomorrow!
oh i totally forgot
i made a bet with BK. here’s to BP’s lack of relavence…

We should seriously have someone in charge of recapping the game threads.
It should be paired with the actual game recap post.
Shortstop
Summed it up very nicely right there. Harang did all he could, the offense still sucks. I really think Dusty’s “swing the stick at all costs” philosophy has taken root, which IMHO is a very very very very bad thing.
Please Note: I may be totally full of shit.
Corey Wade on to pitch for the Dodgers.
He’s from Ohio. The Reds should really get someone to focus on scouting in the Tri-state area. There’s no excuse for them missing out on Brandon Webb and . . . Brandon Webb.
Harang
Harang and A J Burnett had similar lines tonight:
114 PC, 7.1 INN, 8 HA, BBI, 8 K, 2 ER, L, QS Reds lose 3-1
102 PC, 7.1 INN, 8 HA, 3 BBI, 6 K, 3 ER, L, QS Jays lose 8-4
I watched the entire game w/son and grandson
Re-cap;
Harang – Strong
Jonathon -Stronger
Giants – Good at small ball
Reds – good at Fucking up
Giants – Not a good team
Reds – Apparantly a worse team
Giants – 3 Runs
BP – 1 Run
Simply put this team ain’t got ‘it’...they don’t seem to know how to win. they are tenative, undisciplined and brain dead. It is hard to believe that this group of players:
Keppinger, Griffey, Votto, Dunn. Phillips and EdE along with Cueto, Harang, Volquez, Cabrerra, Murker, along with some reasonable back-up help NoHo, Farney, Burton etc. ARE THIS PISS POOR.
I blame the lack of focus on the manager and the True Vets…The Reds need an offensive spark and they need it now. We lost a lot in Hobbs – I’d like to see J. Bruce up now just to see what the stud is made of.
GO REDS and GOOD Night
"I'm not a gearhead at all" Danica
Very well stated
Hamilton is greatly missed. It looks like everyone on the team is waiting for someone else to step up. I just don’t see them getting along with each other and having the confidence that, if they get on base, someone will bring them in.
Honestly
I think your perceptions are clouded by the suck that you see on the field. I’m not say they aren’t necessarily true, but I doubt it’s gotten to the point already where they’ve given up on each other.
And in response to Madville, I don’t think they are tentative. If anything, I think they are too aggressive. They make too many outs on the bases and have WAY too many short at bats.

Slyde - tentative is not be the best word
Uncomfortable may be a better description. BP swinging at balls over his head. When i was at the game Wed. nite there was a feeling of malaise – no energy from the team as a whole….and You are correct that there is a bit of over aggressive play going on as well.
"I'm not a gearhead at all" Danica
Dodgers
And Garciaparra just pulled up lame on a groundball hit past him. Russell Martin goes from behind the plate to play third base.
Someone’s on the phone to Juan Castro right now. And you know Vin Scully LOVES Juan Castro.
And on the first pitch
The ball goes through Gary Bennett’s legs for a passed ball, and the tying run scored.
