Game 125: Reds vs. Cardinals
St. Louis Cardinals @ Cincinnati Reds
|
|
|
It's Faith Day at the ballpark, brought to you by the Creation Museum. I have no comments on that, but I often wonder if there is an intelligent design behind the Reds.
The season is starting to get tense. I don't know if my nerves can handle this chase for the end of the season.

Did you hear about
the “faster pastor” contest happening after the game?
It sounds cool but it is basically a dizzy bat race.

I can't link to it
but that photo of the guy with the NASCAR sunglasses on and his arms upraised in the promo for today’s game really brightened my day.

the pastore who wins get to sit with Jeremy Affeldt in his soecial stadium seating area and
gets his choice of an overnight with Gapper or Rosie Red

Creation Museum/Faith Day
this is even more hokey than the new age funeral I attended on Friday.
With this kind of a promo it really is no wondering why the Red’s are so far out of it. They’ve a management that is faith based and a field manager who’s hearing impaired.
What’s up CC – Verka ?
I will not be drinking today so no worries guys, we’ll have a regular old RR thread.

I'll try to write using the 'hilljack' dialect
which is spoken fairly rarely these days. But when I first went Madison Bowl 30 years ago there still many members of early Hazard Man (stupefactus homininbredus) walking among us.
’Shee yuz msfrkrtboards fuckjsbowl dwown thar and oiland shit a strike."
translation: It was hard to find a consistent line today because of all the oil on the lanes,therefore difficult to bowl a strike.

Dickerson is doing a great job so far at lead off
Small sample size alert but he’s doing all the things you want in your top spot.
Thank God he’s fast, looks athletic and plays the outfield. Otherwise he’d be batting in front of Bako.

“that play developed in slow motion” according to Grande. Do you think that LLM could run to second in the time it would take Dickerson to run around all the bases?
And he goes to third on a single!

dang, I missed it
I was a litttle too late to watch him, but I hearted the heck out of his comeback. I tried his batting stance back when I was a kid and generally wanted to be like him. Too bad I maxed out at 5’9"
Hes in the dugout wearing a #44 jersey, thoguh. warrants mentioning.

He'll continue to catch Volquez and Cueto
since he’s feted as an excellent handler of young pitchers.
Also, he’s left-handed, which means everything.

I feel like a hypocrite for mentioning this, but...
please remember, as we heap scorn on Christianity and other “faith-based” pablum, that there are a number of valued readers here who are practicing Christians and that many of us have our own sacred cows that we tend to feel very protective about.
Except for Madville, who has a different relationship toward cows.

you are absolutely 100% correct
I really respect the more religious folk I know and genuinely have no problem when people talk about their faith and all that sort of stuff. I just feel a little funny when it enters the public sphere.
The Reds teaming up with heavy Christianity puts me in a funny position as a Reds fan. I’m not a Christian. I would feel very, very, awkward at the game today. It’s not mocking what I don’t know/understand, its just that I wouldn’t like being treated as an outsider at a baseball game.

Why should it make you feel awkward?
It’s not as if they’re denying admission to non-Christians. Would you feel like an outsider at Little Leaguer day?
Anyway, my original post was silly. I sort of have a scorched earth policy as I can’t really think of anything that actually offends me personally. I have certainly been upset and angered on behalf of people I care about, but not really for myself. There might be something, but I can’t think of anything at the moment.
Just a passing moment of empathy for people like Thundering Turtle, Caleb and Crolfer. But they’re big boys and don’t need any old henning from the likes of me.

International scouts contacted by BA indicated they believed the bonus was for $2.7 million, although the official number has not been confirmed. That bonus would be the largest signing bonus ever given to a player from Venezuela.Ha. Your TV guys were just joking about “five-tool” prospects who forgot to pack their hit tool.Rodriguez, who just turned 16 this month, is a four-tool player who draws praise from scouts for his athleticism, speed, power and arm strength. Scouts say his hit tool lags behind his other abilities–a significant concern for several scouts–but his athleticism and ceiling are both high.

But today is not for Christians per se…more like Churchgoers, I believe there for I am.
