I feel like I haven’t been home for more to sleep in the past week, but I have caught most of the games, one of them unfortunately being the thumping on Tues. I was watching it with my 83 year old grandmother and she was using some pretty choice language. Also, she despises David Weathers but likes Jeff brantley. When I found out of her cowboy love, I had no choice, I had to bitchslap her. But shes ok, once her new hip comes in.

The Astros have released Shawn Chacon. He was angry at being demoted to the pen, and choked the GM and threw him on the floor.

Good gravy. I liked Chacon when he was with the Yankees. I heard rumors that he had a bit of an attitude problem, but I had no idea it was that bad.

Sign Bonds for the pro rated minimum wage and sign Chacon. Turn them both loose on Toothpick and watch the pheasant feather fly…

Boy oh Boy oh Fuckin’ Boyo that Chacon can pitch!

I Hope he gets 3 hits
A rally killer
a double
an opposite field single
and a walk
and gives bicardi the ‘finger’. Or moons Ricciardi as he lumbers out to left.

seems like Dunn is watching an excessive number of pitches down the middle lately. WTF?

6 in Dunn’s whiff. yay

Is on a pace to make 27 pitches tonight.

Dusty’s mantra -Do not clog…Do not clog

Seems like he’s been here forever.

This guy Litsch has a no-hitter.

The Reds are responsible for most of that.

I was never able to convince the nuns of this

At this pace he’s gonna have to throw 11 pitches next inning!

Corey take/BP take note!

The way the Jays are teeing off on our pitchers makes you wonder if they know what’s coming?

2 runs for them
No hits, no nothing for Us.

EV

For pitches this at-bat: 2.

Corey. Patterson

Is it my imagination, or have each of the Reds’ hitters become less patient than they were last year (other than perhaps Kepp)?

Litch is going to be able to throw a perfect game and then be able for emergency relief duty tomorrow. that shit would be unprecedented

Is not getting the calls. Is this the case?

I realized that I should really go about getting a life soon when I found myself wishing this site existed in 1990 and I could have been making “His name is Rijo and he dances on the sand” jokes.

...where Litsch took a no-hitter into the 7th. It was broken up by…Jeff Keppinger.

can flat out ground into a double play (please).

/Hey, more Canadian band references!

Mrs. M is taking daughter 2 and 3 to Italy next month and of course has nothing to wear….plus her mother’s going as well…this could be a time of R and R for old Mads…although I’ll have no money with which to enjoy it!

Of breaking his consecutive quality start streak tonight…

no perfect game

My NY Post headline idea: “Danny Darko?”

My idea isn’t very good, huh?

Get picked by the Knicks, get booed by a bunch of pricks in Ewing jerseys, and then go to the couch and try to decipher what the fuck Stephen A Smith is trying to ask you.

I blame this on Gray’s bad juju.

Can we pray for rain, and hope the roof does not extend?

PETA doesn’t like seeing seals popped up to the second baseman.

He’d fit right in up here.

it looks like they changed that weird play in the third inning to a throwing error on edinson. so now he’s only given up 3 earned runs, plus that one just now, so a total of 4. This post got a lot less exciting toward the end.

Please replace it!

espn’s draftcast has them without a pick

Eric, what do you think about the critics who say your defense is whack?

I see we’re letting another pitcher off easy again. Can we start keeping track of pitches not swung at? I’d love for someone to list the teams in order of pitches taken, so we can see the Reds and Royals together way down at the bottom. I seriously missed a couple half innings because I blinked.

at least mlb.tv is busted so I can’t watch it…listening to brantley is so much better…

“Kevin, what kind of shape are you in right now?”

my guess is round

whoa! The Williams sisters are Jehovah’s Witnesses!

season after season of the same shit

that shouldn’t be a hit

out.

is that this is pretty much the 25 guys I’d like to have on the team out of the 40-man. With the ace pitching. And everything else looking good.

And instead we’re stuck with this horse’s ass of a game/series/month.

How’s the game going?

Maybe now we can get a hit or two.

Are Kepp’s knees still bugging him? And why does anyone think that Valentin can hold down the spicy hot corner?

I mean, they’re not even in America.

/Dunn’d

crap. i havent got to see too many of EV’s starts and i was really excited to see this one. and i didnt even get drunk. maybe i can steal some pills from my wife and get loaded on that…

thats low?

after winning nothing for 100 years they still pack the park. Yet after 18 years Reds fans don’t come out and are becoming apathetic
