Anybody watching the soccer match?

Who's playing?
I’m just tired of all the Turkish fans driving up and down ave. du Parc honking wildly whenever they win.
Spain/Italy first knock out round of the Euro Cup

Do they break ties with penalty kicks now?
I’m baffled by sports where games can end in ties, I must admit.
did 2002 through you into a tizzy?

He doesn't like baseball

I mean I like both BP and Dunn
but I would rather have 9 Dunns than 9 Phillipses.
(Can you see Dunn playing secondbase? And Short? And Center? And on the mound?).
Well, maybe Dunn shouldn’t pitch.
8 Dunns.
Tanzen!

How long has the damn tarp been off the field?
Let’s get this game back underway. I’m sick of learning about how great The Stadium is.
Doesn’t anyone care about when Phil Rizzuto day was?
I want a hamburger. No, a cheeseburger. I want a hot dog. I want a milkshake. I want potato chips...
that should be "Does anyone care about when Phil Rizzuto day was?"

where I am sitting
I want a hamburger. No, a cheeseburger. I want a hot dog. I want a milkshake. I want potato chips...
I started watching The Day After Tomorrow yesterday
I’ve never seen it. I couldn’t take it though. Not even a tour-de-force performance from Dennis Quaid could keep my interest. Do they seriously believe that people in LA are stupid enough to be flying helicopters around while 5 tornadoes destroy the city?

I would be too if I had to listen to Kay and Flaherty.
As it is, I’m just dumb for having to listen to George Grande.
I'll have you know
I resemble that remark.

They're really obsessed...
...with Majewski’s feet.
Looks like he’s wearing genuine stirrups. Trent would approve.

Trent likes to wear the saddle...

how much roids he used

Ugh
I think I’d have left Majewski in.
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
I wouldn't have had Majek in.
It would have been Burton, because I wouldn’t have had Burton pitch in yesterday’s blowout.

Gone!
Holy shit, he got around on a Farnsworth fastball!
I figured Abreu was going to come down with that one.
I seriously wasn't sure if he still could
He’s lost a lot of bat speed this season.

Nice at bat Old Man
"When I got my award, I just wore my usual stuff," Dunn said.

Incidentally
I know we’re all blinded by this Corey Patterson crap, but I’d like to remind everyone that Norris Hopper is not an everyday major league leadoff hitter, either.
Farnsworth and homeruns
Go together like peanut butter and jelly.
Looks like a Reds fan caught it. (Anyone we know?)
And the Yanks fans give Jr. a standing O.
Farnsy out. Does this mean Mo is coming in?
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
not yet
He’s only had one appearance against the Reds: http://www.baseball-reference.com/boxes/CIN/CIN200306050.shtml
One hit, one walk, 2 strikeouts, zero runs allowed.

Well this
should be fun. Has he ever played 3B before?
with the shift
he’s now covering the whole left side of the infield
I want a hamburger. No, a cheeseburger. I want a hot dog. I want a milkshake. I want potato chips...
this team is a joke
I want a hamburger. No, a cheeseburger. I want a hot dog. I want a milkshake. I want potato chips...
As an answer to my own question
Apparently not…
believe it or not
Javier Valentin leads the Reds in game ending outs with 9. Patterson is tied for 2nd with Dunn at 4.
I want a hamburger. No, a cheeseburger. I want a hot dog. I want a milkshake. I want potato chips...
This team is an abomination...We need Cool God to perform an exorcism.
"When I got my award, I just wore my usual stuff," Dunn said.
"Was it for the Reds organization or all of baseball?" Bruce said.
I'd love to see Votto and Bruce on base
and then Dunn pinch hitting. Here’s hoping.
with the way Dunn is hitting right now
I’m not optimistic
I want a hamburger. No, a cheeseburger. I want a hot dog. I want a milkshake. I want potato chips...
LLM at third
we have only begun to discover the limits of his versatility
Hope Springs Eternal! Go Reds
two on, and one out at the plate
I want a hamburger. No, a cheeseburger. I want a hot dog. I want a milkshake. I want potato chips...
the good news is the Reds bring the tying run to the plate
the bad news is it is Patterson
Hope Springs Eternal! Go Reds
BTW
I wouldn’t pinch hit Dunn for Ross. Historically, lefties (.521 OPS) hit worse against Rivera than righties (.601). And Dunn is STRUGGLING right now.
I want a hamburger. No, a cheeseburger. I want a hot dog. I want a milkshake. I want potato chips...
does Mr. Toothpick know this stuff?
"When I got my award, I just wore my usual stuff," Dunn said.
"Was it for the Reds organization or all of baseball?" Bruce said.
everyone in baseball knows this stuff
so..probably not.
BTW, this season, RHB have a .425 OPS against Rivera. LHB have a .294 OPS (yes, OPS).
I want a hamburger. No, a cheeseburger. I want a hot dog. I want a milkshake. I want potato chips...
Well...
Patterson does have good speed, you have to give him that.
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
speed doesn't slump

i'm surprised corey hasn't somehow challenged that axiom
"I never should have given up the animation rights."
Yes
I had an expletive filled tirade all lined up if he had grounded into a DP
Jeff, we hardly knew ye...
you have to have good times in order to slump

COMMON DUNN
swing the bat!

Norris Hopper gonna go yard?

Whack it NoHo - Hit it out of the infield!!!!

ironically
I would much rather see Patterson go down to the minors than swing

Isn't it ironic?
don’t you think?

I'm about ready to give up on Dunn.
It’s been a fun ride, but he’s just not the same player he used to be or could have been.
I think he's the same player he's always been
I want a hamburger. No, a cheeseburger. I want a hot dog. I want a milkshake. I want potato chips...
oh, you mean at the DNA level
Yeah, something might be up there.
I want a hamburger. No, a cheeseburger. I want a hot dog. I want a milkshake. I want potato chips...
I used to get excited to see him bat
because there was always a chance something good was going to happen. And it did.
This year it is becoming more and more predictable what will happen. And I don’t mean striking out. I mean just getting out.
maybe you've changed?
I’ve never been one to expect great things when he comes to the plate. I guess that’s why I don’t see him as any different.

so was anyone else screaming when CoPat came to the plate?
Dunn should have pinch hit for Patterson, allowing Ross, another slugger, to take a hack. Dunn did strike out and we lost, but i dont think there is anyone on this planet, besides Dusty, who thinks Patterson is a better fit for that situation than Ross. Dusty’s irrational fondness for Patterson is reaching critical mass.

I saw in the Erardi piece
that Leo Mazzone’s name was thrown out there.
Now that he’s been let go, Rick Peterson ought to get a call from Jocketty. I’d love him to get a hold of Homer and Cueto and sort them out.
Dear Lord, thank you for giving this game your undivided attention. We'll try to be brief so you can return your energies to the movement of the stars and the condemnation of the Jews.
He was a victim of the Mets' house-cleaning
From what I remember, he caught a lot of flack for his part in the Zambrano/Kazmir trade. He supposedly said that Kazmir was a few years away from dominance and that he could fix Zambrano easily.
Peterson seems a bit of an egotist, but I figured he’s probably cheaper than Mazzone and has something to prove.
In his favor, he was responsible for Oakland’s system from ‘98-’03 and was given a lot of credit for developing the A’s big three. Will Carrol thinks his biomech/psychological approach is THE way forward in pitching instruction. Even if he isn’t the actual pitching coach, I’d love to put him in charge of the Reds’ entire system.

Fay says EE not going on DL
Could be back in the lineup by Tuesday.
Some Yankees fans were spitting mad at losing two out of three to a “putrid” team like the Reds. But some noticed that Cincinnati has some very good young talent. One guy said if the Reds were a company, he’d buy stock in it.
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
Elpidio?
EE hurt his back making a spectacular leaping catch. Lower back spasms, they said. That’s why Janish ended up playing SS, with Kepp at 3B. When they pinch-hit for Janish, the LLM had to play 3B. He’d never played 3B before, at least in the majors.
I bet Dusty was missing Andy Phillips yesterday.
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
Went yesterday
Rain delays, strikeouts and all, I’m glad I got to see the Stadium one final time. I’d post pictures but we were pretty far from the field and I don’t know how anyways (a little help? The Wiki only covers posting web pics).
Seeing #601 was cool. They gave Jr. a standing O when he first came up and after the HR. I’m glad to see him getting so much love around the country, though I’m also a little surprised. I guess the Yankee fans didn’t see his quote about leaving Yankee Stadium being the best part of the trip. Also, it was great to see it off Farnsworth, who was throwing gas (100, 101 on the prior pitches iirc). Somewhere, Paul Wilson was smiling.
The bats were pathetic. Still, it was great to see the young guys face a tough leftie like Pettitte. They went down but hopefully next time it will be a different story.
Hopper sure didn’t add much value. He looked rusty on that bunt, and the ball in LF looked playable. He just doesn’t look that fast to me.
