Reds at Marlins, Thread 3

Who we were pretty high on for awhile. We’ll see if that throwing motion of his becomes a problem, but I don’t know that it constitutes “fucking up” the draft.

by Brendanukkah on Jun 9, 2008 10:19 PM EDT up reply actions

yeah, but that was just one pick.

by Brian B on Jun 9, 2008 10:19 PM EDT up reply actions

And I’m not sure who else they drafted, but after awhile it gets to be a crapshoot anyway. He fucked our team up with some of his first round picks here, but I don’t think Crow belongs in that conversation.

I guess they use their threads for game predictions, http://www.fishstripes.com/2008/6/9/548598/open-thread-and-ichthyoman#comments.

I'll check later, but

Anybody have “Bako multihomer game”? Someone had to have called 600.

by Brendanukkah on Jun 9, 2008 10:20 PM EDT up reply actions

they did call 600

but they forgot about the ever dangerous Mr Bako

Bako sounds like a character from a spy novel

I was to meet my contact at midnight in St. Peter's Square in Bucharest

He would identify himself as “Bako.”

by Brendanukkah on Jun 9, 2008 10:23 PM EDT up reply actions

You mean, Budapest?

Vin Scully said Bako was Hungarian.

by Brian B on Jun 9, 2008 10:24 PM EDT up reply actions

I guess that would have made more sense

I just wanted a spy novel to take place in Bucharest. It seems underutilized.

by Brendanukkah on Jun 9, 2008 10:26 PM EDT up reply actions

I think you're right.

by Brian B on Jun 9, 2008 10:28 PM EDT up reply actions

I've been to Bucharest

It is neither underutilized (Red Rabbit) or underrated.

...because there's already someone posing as Jacob Brumfield

by Cy Schourek on Jun 9, 2008 10:31 PM EDT up reply actions

Too bad it was hit right after Griffey's

We could have said they were “Back-to-Bako!”

by Brian B on Jun 9, 2008 10:23 PM EDT up reply actions

Shortstop would have said that

Have some dignity, Brian B.

Thanks, Caleb.

can't help you there

by Caleb on Jun 9, 2008 10:30 PM EDT up reply actions

very nice

save that one in case it ever happens

by Caleb on Jun 9, 2008 10:24 PM EDT up reply actions

I hope it means Bako hitting a home run after anyone

Because if it’s just Bako hitting a home run after Griffey, that means Bako is batting cleanup, and I don’t care what kind of service he’s getting from the Catcher Witch, that’s just not a good thing.

Hmm. It occurs to me that we now have two starters named Paul. I wonder when the last time that happened was…

by Brendanukkah on Jun 9, 2008 10:28 PM EDT up reply actions

Baker could send Bako up out of order and everyone in between them would be out.

Then Bako would be free to go back-to-bako with Griffey.

Last time two Pauls started in the same Reds lineup...

September 14, 1980 – Paul Moskau was the starting pitcher and Paul Householder started in RF. They also played together in 1981, but never started on the same day.

They’ve never had two Pauls start where one was not a pitcher, but on May 17, 1990, Paul Noce had his only at bat in a Reds uniform when he pinch hit for Ron Oester and he singled. Starting in RF that day was Paul O’Neill.

The only other combinations of Pauls on the same roster were Paul Blair and Paul Moskau in 1979 and Paul Derringer and Paul Gehrman in 1937.

Well they have scored the 3rd most runs in NL

and have the most HR’s

defensive indifference

I hate that

by Caleb on Jun 9, 2008 10:19 PM EDT reply actions

When it comes down to it, the Reds defense really just doesn't give a shit.

by Brian B on Jun 9, 2008 10:20 PM EDT up reply actions

... and this one belongs to the Reds

by Caleb on Jun 9, 2008 10:20 PM EDT reply actions

To revise my earlier numbers...

Bako has 6 HRs on the season to Griffey’s 7.

by Gray on Jun 9, 2008 10:22 PM EDT reply actions

think Griffey will talk to reds Live?

Post-game question

I have had very little luck with logging into this site with Firefox 3 (either the beta or the RC) on Windows. I have done it on my Ubuntu machine. Has anyone done it with Windows?

What do you mean, logging in?

I’m using FF 3b5 on fedora 9.

when I try to log-in, I get kicked to the SBNation home page

That happens to me with Firefox 2

When I forget to allow scripting. Both RR and SBNation have to be allowed.

i was listening to this game on the radio

on the way to the bar. i got out of the car just as Hairston stole 3rd, and walked into the bar just as the montage for Griffey started. needless to say, i couldnt drink enough to get over my disappointment in missing The Moment.
