CANTU!

Im so tired of patterson… I almost rather see Dunn bat leadoff. No, Im not Bob Boone, C Pat just had been that bad

They were calling their pitcher “Hopper.” My eye involuntarily started to twitch.

Anybody else sensing that this might be the beginning of the unceremonious end?

sounds like a pitcher from a cartoon. What a maroon

Holy crap, Dusty. In what world does Patterson hit first, BP fourth, and Dunn seventh?

I already know that this doesn’t happen in Canadia. So maybe somewhere else…

woo hoo!!!

Wisconsin. good to see their cheer leaders have been doing some thing in the off season

Marty is on with the announcer from Louisville for the next 4 nights. Marty says that they’ll be talking a lot about the AAA team.

I didn’t catch much of the Mets series so I’m filled with optimism. Its a nice place. Holy crap, I just saw a unicorn!

Do you think that Harang may pull out a gun and shoot Corey Patterson if he goes 7 innings with 1 ER, but gets the loss?

not putting out his A game

This team makes me want to curse. Instead of doing that, I’m off.

I give them until the 6th inning to get something done

Down 2 already???

I am not rooting against Corey Patterson, because he a Cincinnati Red, he is in the lineup leading off, and there is nothing we can do about it.

But there is no reason for me to like it other than to reduce my level of disutility.

I guess I can like Corey Patterson leading off the same way I learned to stop worrying and love the bomb.

are making fun of how few fans are at the Reds’ home games

Could not have been an infielder. As an infielder, it would have been an awfully inauspicious name.

I have a feeling that he is going to be one of those rookie starters who dominates the Reds notwithstanding sucking against everyone else. He definitely fits the profile.

on the reasons why the Marlins have been a better franchise than the Reds the past 15 years.

Can he work veteran presence into this?

Let’s listen and find out….

every done the 5K Run that finishes in the stadium?

Will he be the highest-paid No. 7 hitter in the big leagues? I wonder…

Boston designated him for assignment today and he was one of Walt’s Cardinals in 2004 and 2005.

This Bad Burkenhop guy has a no-hitter.

Gonna surpass Rose at this pace in about a year

nice bloop by CoPat

I think CoPat’s average will drop below his weight at some point in the future. Any takers? FWIW, he weighs 180 lbs.

Corey Patterson.

Can flat out ground out.

He’s the only halfway decent free agent replacement that the Reds could possibly get that isn’t 100 years old.

And he gets on base at a pretty nice clip.

What’s the record for home runs given up in one game?

3 NL shortstops with 210 or more hits in a season since 1946

I must say, that is simply phenomenal work.

Your reward:

garry templeton 211 in 1979
rameriz and rollins 212 last season

with Brantley not getting any trivia questions correct.

this Kelch character is very good. Hopefully, they are firing Brantley and this is his replacement.

He can’t bunt, I think we all know that by now.

was actually quite good

Corey Patterson!

Solid every time . . .

I’d like to hear Brantley rave about how Patterson keeps his shoulder in when he swings.

He’ll be at the top of the line-up all week…

CoPa hit a 2 out double

What would we do without Bako and Patterson?

keep it going Griffey. Now would be a nice time for 598

He’s got a fucking explaination for everything. And it’s all made up on the spot.

I blame Edwin

But Jorge can hit…

Has a trapezoid for a neck.

by Bako. A little Santiago there.

He doesn’t have his best stuff and he still keeps it to three runs through 6 IP.

...I could get to really like this Bako fellow.

hopefully they can take advantage of that later

No out!

A lot of EdE’s long hits seem to come on swings that look weak.

nice rip baby!!

Good call. Brantley would have waited until after the at bat before saying “with a 3-2 count you always need to expand the strike zone to protect the plate. See I was right.”

reds lead 4-3

Good to see the other side do that for once!!

Suck it, Badenhopper

I’m on a shitty computer, and this one is slower than Jenna Bush’s future offspring.

to get it back in quick

I saw Slyde here somewhere.

a freaking squib hit and a sac fly where a decent throw nails the guy

I was just now able to throw this up.

Don’t wanna see their best contact hitter bunting.
