PrintWe're kicking Eaton's ass, but we've only got two runs to show for it. Still, it's 2-1 and Harang is through five with only 68 pitches. We're in good shape.

Damnt
I was hoping Bako would go 0-30 or something ridiculous like that,
SRSLY
SB Nation guys, you absolutely need to do what you need to do get this site working faster. I know my computer is a piece of shit, but it was never this bad with the old format.
This is slower than watching Steve Trachsel pitch in the Matrix.

to be honest
I just want to see it turn green or whatever
I've got a plan and it's as hot as my pants...
yeah, i agree too
Marty may have a shirt on, but Billy Beane just ripped his off and is squeezing his nipples. - Brendan's ukkah

yeah its not just you
my laptop is like totally the bomb.com and i feel it too sometimes. i blame alan and all his silly pictures.

Agreed, and recommended
Game threads are impossible for me. I look in once in awhile, but there's just no way I can follow along now that we've switched over. It takes several minutes to load. Which is crazy.
i want apple drink

Marty may have a shirt on, but Billy Beane just ripped his off and is squeezing his nipples. - Brendan's ukkah
So that's how the Phillies are winning, George?
Playing "Little Ball"?
Cause I see a bunch dudes knocking the shit out of the ball. How 'bout the Reds try that for a while.
I've got a plan and it's as hot as my pants...
yeah its my favorite when these dudes talk about how
rollins and victorina and their runnin' and buntin' ways are the reason the phils are good. its kinda like when people thank God when they win the lottery.

I really would like to have their line-up
I mean, dayam.
I've got a plan and it's as hot as my pants...
giants being no-hit through 5
i have a feeling we'll be saying that often this year
harang
control definitely starting to slip
Pat Burrell likes hot tubs
have that on good authority
I've got a plan and it's as hot as my pants...
things not going well
Marty may have a shirt on, but Billy Beane just ripped his off and is squeezing his nipples. - Brendan's ukkah
im questioning
the pitch selection. How bout we throw Burrell some breaking balls.
And another thing
I know the park plays small, but why is GameCast showing every ball in the outfield as over the fence? Come on now!
Jeez, another year older and I am full-on embracing my crotchety old man status.
im pretty sure it's never the plan

youre pretty sure a lot

I sort of agreed with Chris and George on that one
I think he pushed the last 2 outside on purpose.
I've got a plan and it's as hot as my pants...
Wicked movement
on that strikeout fastball to Hobbs
tang!

BP
is the most unorthodox 2B'man ever. I think expecting him to use two hands is a little much.

Who's up for some runs now?
Let's get Aaron back in line for the win. That's FTW for you intertubes kids.

Marty may have a shirt on, but Billy Beane just ripped his off and is squeezing his nipples. - Brendan's ukkah
This is the third straight game
that the reds have faced a pitcher who isn't locating and given him a quality starter. I think we should be a little concerned about this.
I've got a plan and it's as hot as my pants...

our pitching is much improved
but our lineup leaves a lot to be desired
Marty may have a shirt on, but Billy Beane just ripped his off and is squeezing his nipples. - Brendan's ukkah
Bako has been a disaster offensively
He left 9 on base the other day and he's left some on since.
I've got a plan and it's as hot as my pants...
nobody is hitting well, really
Marty may have a shirt on, but Billy Beane just ripped his off and is squeezing his nipples. - Brendan's ukkah
Hey
but we can just sit back and wait for them to hit HR's, right?
by JoseRijoIsGod on Apr 5, 2008 2:57 PM EDT up reply actions
that would be nice
Marty may have a shirt on, but Billy Beane just ripped his off and is squeezing his nipples. - Brendan's ukkah
cannot
believe they sent harang back out there. well, i can.
edwin makes the out
and its still his fault
Marty may have a shirt on, but Billy Beane just ripped his off and is squeezing his nipples. - Brendan's ukkah
Wait, it's the 7th inning.
Shouldn't Dunnies be on the bench?
by Nick Papageorgio on Apr 5, 2008 2:52 PM EDT reply actions
okay
I'm going to need Dunn or Griffey to hit a HR soon, or its going to start to be a storyline.
i was trying to think of some sort of defense for this
but you're right, it does.
Marty may have a shirt on, but Billy Beane just ripped his off and is squeezing his nipples. - Brendan's ukkah
howard didnt have any trouble

Hey, the Phillies can just sit back and wait for homeruns

liking
the double switches by dusty actually.
I just knew
when they dropped "one of the great stories of the 2008 season" on him he was doomed.
Kent Mercker
Should not be on any ML team. I'm sick of the Reds employing these "feel good" relievers who are 40 and washed up.
*drinks*
youre quite the negative type
Marty may have a shirt on, but Billy Beane just ripped his off and is squeezing his nipples. - Brendan's ukkah
i think he looks good
personally. giving up a HR to ryan howard ain't exactly a great feat.

That's what everyone thought last year
This is the Reds braintrust trying their hand at "Moneyball" thinking and trying to find a competitive unbalance to exploit. "Hey, nobody's employing retired pitchers!"
we're losing,
I have a Phillies fan right in front of me, and an annoying, stinky three year old who has been fed three courses of sugar by his father. Seriously, we need to score some runs to make this just a little more enjoyable...
"Screw it. We've got bigger problems than a butter shortage."
oh, the three year old is on my right

IW jr to get to bp
manuel watched baseball in a decade?
Flash
Gordon. o no
BTW when are the Reds announcers going to stop sucking BP off? He's not our best offensive player despite what Baker/Marty has brainwashed them with.
well, he has been so far
I wouldn't mind their BP love so much if it didn't always come at the expense of other good players. But, it's a lost cause with MB
I've got a plan and it's as hot as my pants...
gordon
I saw the Reds/Phils last april or may. I forget the pitching matchup it was Lohse for the Reds that much remember. The Reds won it in the 10th or 11th I believe but they did get a walkoff single off Gordon I believe.
here you go

lohse vs. lieber, phillips with the walkoff single. good memory.

its Cordero
why grown ass men want to call him CoCo, I will never understand.
yo delicious!
Marty may have a shirt on, but Billy Beane just ripped his off and is squeezing his nipples. - Brendan's ukkah
Someone once said he looked like Coco B. Ware
That's the story I heard. Of course, his name is FrancisCo Cordero.
I'll wager that it's a rarely used nickname
that George heard and latched on to. He enjoys that more than asking after people's wives.
I've got a plan and it's as hot as my pants...
he enjoys that more
than touching himself while images of Jim Edmonds roaming CF dance in his head.
that out was edwin's fault too
Marty may have a shirt on, but Billy Beane just ripped his off and is squeezing his nipples. - Brendan's ukkah
patterson
i've noticed that patterson takes much better routes on flyballs than does freel. i really like him as a defender.

nice walk edwin
see, it's like a sac bunt that doesnt cost an out
Marty may have a shirt on, but Billy Beane just ripped his off and is squeezing his nipples. - Brendan's ukkah
noho
drop the bunt baby
Marty may have a shirt on, but Billy Beane just ripped his off and is squeezing his nipples. - Brendan's ukkah
nice play
it's the one situation in all of baseball where bunt is a good call. and you have hopper doing it, who's one of the best in the bigs. nice
Marty may have a shirt on, but Billy Beane just ripped his off and is squeezing his nipples. - Brendan's ukkah
fuck yeah
that's where you bunt. a smart baseball decision.
walk bako to set up the DP?
face votto?
i'd take that
hes hurt
Marty may have a shirt on, but Billy Beane just ripped his off and is squeezing his nipples. - Brendan's ukkah
yeah, ryan freel
Marty may have a shirt on, but Billy Beane just ripped his off and is squeezing his nipples. - Brendan's ukkah
hatteberg would be, but he claims to be unable to ever catch again
valentin's expected back by the middle of next week, and it shouldnt be long before ross is back. until then, ryan hanigan is our organizational depth at C.
Marty may have a shirt on, but Billy Beane just ripped his off and is squeezing his nipples. - Brendan's ukkah
Right
I was just wondering if we'd made a roster move, but it sounds like they haven't stuck Javy on the DL.
Sorry, I'm catching up on things.
end it bako
Marty may have a shirt on, but Billy Beane just ripped his off and is squeezing his nipples. - Brendan's ukkah
yeah baby
Marty may have a shirt on, but Billy Beane just ripped his off and is squeezing his nipples. - Brendan's ukkah
Come on ...
He is working on his gold glove stats!
a game the smallball guys will love
but that couldnt have happened without patterson's home run
Marty may have a shirt on, but Billy Beane just ripped his off and is squeezing his nipples. - Brendan's ukkah
uh... YEAH
its Freel. He was running down the 3B line with a knife if his teeth.
Big day for Bako
Three hits including the game-winner, and a runner caught stealing. Star of the game.
Great win
Didn't Moeller win us a game like that last year?
I've got a plan and it's as hot as my pants...
i dont see that in his gamelogs from last year
Marty may have a shirt on, but Billy Beane just ripped his off and is squeezing his nipples. - Brendan's ukkah
ah, that's it
http://www.baseball-reference.com/boxes/CIN/CIN200706100.shtml
seabass ground ball. harang went seven innings, three hits allowed, no runs, 10 Ks, but was outdueled by sabathia and got a no-decision.
Marty may have a shirt on, but Billy Beane just ripped his off and is squeezing his nipples. - Brendan's ukkah
and so it was
just like you said it would be
Marty may have a shirt on, but Billy Beane just ripped his off and is squeezing his nipples. - Brendan's ukkah
Indeed I was (perhaps I mentioned it?)
But I sure as shit couldn't tell you that Moeller won the game. He might have gotten the winning run, but I would remember Hamilton, Harang, the bullpen, and Sea Bass ahead of Moeller. I give Bako the edge in terms of "How did you help us win one specific game."
Oh, and boobs, I don't think it's fair to say Harang was outdueled by Sabathia. They went toe to toe in a pitching matchup of titans. I think Sabathia did pitch more innings, but Harang was facing the tougher lineup, and neither finished the game.
What a throw...
fair enough
i was going off the fact that sabathia had a higher game score (due to going a full nine innings) but obviously neither gave up a run. it looks like harang had lots of timely strikeouts. i do remember the game vaguely, but in a 162-game season it's hard to remember games you watched on tv.
Marty may have a shirt on, but Billy Beane just ripped his off and is squeezing his nipples. - Brendan's ukkah
I like having a closer
and a bullpen that only gives up one run in the 8th.
Tanzen!

Because
Our pitching has been really good so far (Josh Fogg excepted) and our offense has been pants.
Hmmm
I am still disapointed ... the Reds continue to clog the base paths with walks. How are we suppose to win games like that? (insert sarcastic smile here)
listen, I'm not a guy you want to piss off
I'm kind of a big deal. I have many leatherbound books and my apartment smells of rich mahogony.
You are right, I apologize ...
And will send you some febreeze to take care of that smell ...
Anyone have
connects with FSN ? I would rather hear a hog scratch his ass on a rail that Arroyo with that shit!
I was on a flush draw?!?!?
That's pretty damn funny!!
But at least in that commercial they show the blonde with big BOOBS!!
