Postgame thread

We won again, trimming our deficit in the Central to 21.5 games. I think there are more than that many games left in the season, so we're not out of this thing yet.

Use this space wisely. The Bats' game starts at 5, Dayton at 7. Also, Josh Hamilton's Texas Rangers play at 8. So there are a few things to talk about, if you find yourself in the thread with people that you have nothing in common with.

Some thoughts

Edinson Volquez is a beast.
EdE owns St. Louis.
The Reds are horrible base runners.
If you get to Lohse early, he’s beatable.
Why did we bring in CoCo?

Where you going to school A. ?

Have you thought about becoming a bankruptcy attorney? They make good money and rarely have to go into litigation.
Are you excited? Good luck…Mrs. M is the director of legal administration for a very good Downtown Cinti firm. If you need an in when it comes time to clerk…well I’ll prolly still be here…good luck and for Christ’s sake have fun.

Vermont Law

I’m into environmental law. I wanna sue corporations.

The one thing that might sway my interest is human rights law. Not to say I wouldn’t be grateful for a good internship anywhere.

Why no box score on the Bats website?

I guess I could just turn on the radio but that would require too much effort.

go to the IL main page

and click on the box under the score

What do you mean, "blank slate"?

I forgot to ask the other day

are the Bats going to get a new beat writer? With all the cuts at the CJ I wonder if they will continue to have one.

Is anyone watching the game on ESPN?

They talked about the Reds for awhile.

In particular, they quoted what Dusty said about it being Krivsky’s team, not his. And wondered if anyone asked Krivsky what he thought about that.

They also said they saw Krivsky in Houston last week, scouting.

im surprised there hasnt been more of a reaction

to the “Krivsky’s team” business. what else did they say about it, or was that it?

by Charlie Scrabbles on Aug 17, 2008 10:08 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

That was about it

They were kind of laughing at Dusty for saying that.

Krivsky

Spoke with Alan Cutler (I think) the other morning and took the high road, saying “very unfortunate” about six times.

How can such a good looking man be so bad at getting to first base?

by jch24 on Aug 17, 2008 10:18 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

Good

Dusty should apologize for what he said. What a maroon.

I think Baker as more of a dusty light chocolate....

um, maroon?

I don’t think you meant that the way it came out, but a maroon is kinda/sorta a runaway slave. Warrants mentioning…not exactly a “nappy headed hos” comment, but it can REALLY get taken the wrong way (at least if you’re a history major).

Anyway, yeah, I was much happier this time last year about the Reds than I am now. At least we still have Volquez.

I’m well aware of that.

But I don’t give a rat’s rear.

word.

I may just be a bit punch-drunk from this team/season/decade. no offense meant.

Yeah, but.....

They did it to get to Marlon Byrd, who’s been hitting the hell out of the ball as of late.

His odds of winning the MVP just improved

A writer can get a paragraph out of that anecdote.

I knew Jason Lee was in that episode

but I just had a holy shit moment. That’s Wyatt Cenac from The Daily Show playing James Ingram. Awesome.

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.

Hey everybody!

The season still matters!!!. We can lose more often than usual, because we’re playing good teams!!!

hahahahaha
With six games each against the Cubs, Brewers and Cardinals, the NL Central’s primary contenders, the Reds will have a say in who wins the division title.

And with an abundance of youth on the roster, Cincinnati manager Dusty Baker feels the experience will be good for his club.

“It’ll be beneficial because we’re planning on being in that race next year,” Baker said. “Guys that have never been there don’t know what it’s like. We need to get a taste of it.”

I think we overmeet as a society.

by Gray on Aug 18, 2008 2:49 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

i think i will beable to make it out ot the Reds game on Friday

and see Josh Fogg. Exciting shit. I guess I shouldn’t swear too much apparetnly the Washington Center moniters our internet access. I have to survive without porn.

The Dusty Path to the World Series!*
