Game 123: Reds vs Cardinals
St. Louis Cardinals @ Cincinnati Reds
|
|
|
This is probably the biggest game of the night for the Reds. A win tonight and they play tomorrow. A loss and they have to wait until Saturday to play again. It's all on Bronson's shoulders to get the job done. Let's hope he's up to the task.
Thompson is a righty, so expect to C-Dick play tonight. Rumor was yesterday that Cherry will be in the lineup tonight too. I guess there's only one thing left to do. Win. The. Whole. Damn. Thing.

All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?

Yeah
I think I’m batting about .670 in Reds wins after first posts.
But at this point, it doesn’t really matter, does it?

My balls are made of topaz
I’m more a hello man and a welcome man than a good-bye man. And to me Adam Dunn was more a person than a player.

The Mercy Rule????
This team is on fire, taking 2 of 3 from the Pirates. Now that Dunn is gone we can really start to see the playoff push beginning!

And I guess Votto
will be back tomorrow. I thought it was today. And I also thought bereavement leave coudn’t last an entire week.
by cesarhernandez on Aug 15, 2008 5:19 PM EDT 0 recs
I think it's fairly open-ended (or maybe they have to get an extension or something)
Gonzalez was on bereavement for several weeks last season for his son. At some point though, you would think FMLA would kick in. I guess not for Votto or Gonzalez though.

You guys see that Mike Meyers has signed on for Inglorious Bastards?
That’s some interesting casting to go with Brad Pitt, Simon Pegg, and Ryan Howard.

Yonder hangs with A-Rod?
Screw ‘em then. He’ll end up being extremely un-clutch. And I doubt that, with five hours to go, the Reds have reached ‘final offer’ status. I’m sure they could still budge a little.

the Yankees...
…have given up on their first round pick. He’s decided to go to college instead. (UCLA, not Harvard as he hoped.)
Man, I don’t get that. You can always go to college later. You’re not likely to get a better deal out of college than you get as a first round draft pick. What if you blow your arm out in college or something?

yep
And he really plays up that affiliation rather than the NCSU one. It’s an unmistakable bit of snobbery that largely went unnoticed outside of the state, but rankled many folks locally.
My ex used to work for him and worships(ed?) him. I met him a few times, and I always thought he was the biggest fake imaginable. She used to lose it when I’d get drunk and launch into my two americas patter. Guaranteed fight.
Dude could make a speech though.

Fundraising
Did he highlight his Tarheelness bc you can milk more $$ from UNC alums? That’s the only reason I can think of bc it is unusual to emphasize your law/grad school over your undergrad. Clinton was seen as a Georgetown guy, not a Yalie, just as one example.

I think that's probably right
UNC also has more political cache and has deeper ties to the Southern progressive movement.
