You know what I realized today? The Reds are 7 games away from being mathematically eliminated from the division title and 12 games away from being mathematically eliminated from the wild card. So, as long as we don't see a combination of Cubs wins and Reds losses that total up to 7 for the rest of the season, we're still in this thing!
Oh, and Josh Fogg is facing Roy Oswalt tonight, so as long as the Cubs don't win 6 games tonight, we're still in this thing!

Very sneaky
This looks like it’s much bigger than Boras, but to pull the “we never really had a deal” stunt is pretty low. So is commenting on another player’s (Hosmer) contract.
The lineup
from the Fay:
Dickerson, lf
Keppinger, ss
BPhillips, 2b
Votto, 1b
Bruce, rf
Encarnacion, 3b
Patterson, cf
Bako, c
Fogg, rhp

He was the Giant Killer last year, or whatever
He made a reputation of pitching well against the other team’s ace. Go figure, huh?

Better that way.
We’re probably going to lose against their ace.
We’re probably going to lose when Fogg pitches.
This way, that’s one loss instead of two.

Race weirdness
I have only seen asian employees at the cajun restaurant in the Kenwood Towne Center. It baffles me why I don’t see a huge guy with a beard back there speaking unintelligibly while sucking the insides of a crawfish from its boiled shells.

It's funny.
I only see hispanic/latin employees at mall chinese food court places.
Everybody's a jerk. You. Me. This jerk.
There's a chinese place there, too
Also staffed by Asians, which makes “sense”.
Truth be told, I don’t care if it’s an Inuit midget amputee serving Ethiopian food, as long as it’s fast and what I ordered. :)

It must be hard to be a Major League hitter
It seems so easy, I know. But check this out:
Said Bruce, "I know I have to be aggressive in the zone. These pitchers up here know right now that they don’t have to throw me a strike, so they won’t. Why should they? I wouldn’t either if I didn’t have to.
"This is all a learning process I need to shorten that process as quickly as I can," he added. "I haven’t struck out seven times in my life, ever. In your whole life you are always experiencing first times and hopefully that’s the last time I experience that.
"But at this point I was going up there more trying not to strikeout than get a hit," he said. "That’s a bad approach. That’s like playing not to lose rather than playing not to win."
Gotta a good head on his shoulders. I wish his manager wasn’t trying to make him be more aggressive.

When Edwin slumps, he slumps hard (despite the double earlier in the game)
An error, then a first pitch inning ending double play.
Josh Fogg is the kind of player that wearies you as a Reds fan
When the Reds signed him in the off-season, everyone knew he was going to suck.
When the Reds said he wasn’t brought in to start, everyone knew he eventually would.
And everyone knew that he’d be seeing us through the death throes of another shitty season.
No more Josh Foggs.

someone in my apartment house
uses Bad Newz Kennels as the name for his/her wireless network.
Considering the strange people who live here, I love trying to figure out who that might be.

ok, I'm gonna take this opportunity to excuse myself
I have work to do and wine to drink. And lets face it…nobody’s expecting a win here.
But well played up there, andro
...because there's already someone posing as Jacob Brumfield
Dude, ditch your foreign friends on Saturday
Or bring them to the Rhino. The Terps are blowful.

If somebody was outside of GABP
selling number 21 t-shirt jerseys with “Quickerson” on the back, I’d buy two

how about someone on the internet
selling a number 23 t-shirt with LaRue on the back?

Dunno if he's looking to sell
But Man Mountain could hook you up with a 21 Fratteberg shirt.

perhaps you haven't heard of a little album called "You Can't Stop The Reign"?

I did enjoy Shaq's recent single he released at the night club

I don't know what "you's a penguin lookin' motherfucker" means

maybe not even of that year
You had Ice Cube’s The Predator, Runaway Slave by Showbiz and AG and Sex Violence by KRS with Boogie Down in 1992.
In this white guy’s opinion, 36 Chambers is the best rap album ever despite the presence of the pernicious rap skit (even though Wu’s are weirdly compelling all things considered).
But maybe Illmatic for the lack of offending skits?

“It takes a Nation Of Millions to Hold Us Back” and “Straight Outta Compton.”
Immortal Technique’s “Revolutionary Vol. 2” was a recent masterpiece of the political rap genre.

Hova gets a hit!
I’d throw more love behind the Grey Album, but that “Justify My Thug” track is atrocious.
calling something the grey album, or the white album, or the black album is a bit pretentious
by chandrathan on Aug 27, 2008 9:53 PM EDT up reply actions
The Grey Album was a mashup of the White Album and the Black Album, so it's more functional than anything
And the White Album is just colloquial. Its title is eponymous. And Jay-Z don’t mean to brag, but then whitey won’t act like he on they ass.

I recently decided that
that version of “99 Problems” is my third favorite, behind the original and the split with Linkin Park. Brutal.

The Linkin Park one commits the fatal flaw of rap-rock
It only works well when you’ve got the black guy rapping.

damnit, I wanted to be the first person on the site to use that line
I was hoping the success from using that line would bring me everything I need: Fame…fortune….fah-gina.

'than if you're around..earlier I responded to the fantasty football question?
I’m about to be put in last place bu boobs in the RR beer league…but if you need another player in fantasy football – I’ll do it…what do I need to do?
BTW did you get the note from Chelsea?

we're underway now and rolling strong
But you can join the autodraft league. Check out the fantasy diary. Just adjust your player rankings in yahoo and wait for the season to start.
We are.
Caleb, ‘than, and chesirecat have all been the victims of Fleaflicker’s atrocious auto-drafting logic.

fuckers don’t know how to draft…

nice
I’m glad someone finally has the courage to take a shot at Tom Cruise.
Seriously though, that was funny,
Three runs
No problem. It’s a tall order, but we’re taller.
(How white would it be to suggest the first two Streets albums be considered for best rap albums?)
Speaking of British rap, since no one is talking about anything else
Check out this song. One of the toughest songs I’ve heard. Not for a woman. Not for a British person. Not for a rapper. For anyone.

They finally got his swing right in AAA
but Dusty and Jacoby have screwed it up again. He was taking more walks and K-ing less, but now it has revered in the short time he has been up with the big club.
www.crosleyfieldterrace.wordpress.com
And Patterson strikes out to end it, natch
Big assists go to Bruce and Encarnacion for their K’s in the 9th. Fuck that Oswalt.
I actually have taken a job again
So I have to go to sleep now…but i’ll check on this football thing tomorrow.
Working is very time consuming and requires mental discipline…Oh well I was getting bored after the last consultancy ended.
How about those Red’s tonight…they can’t play long ball, they are unsucksessful at small ball…Jay is off his feed.. Votto seems to rounding into shape. We better get somebody hit with HR power next year or raise the fences about 4 feet all around (Adam Harang wants the team to move the right field fence back and raise it’s height).Good-night all

Dusty Baker
I left the general manager's job at the Drexel Heritage-Henredon Showrooms
just in time. I thought I was going have to actually do some work – hung out at home for a couple of months then got this Director’s job at Art Enclave LLC. This most was also timely as Mrs. M was starting to ask me what I was doing all day while she was at work.
Anyway we’re building an arts community in Mason. Yep Mason, that bleak little burg only 25 minutes North of the ghetto. So any of you RRs who are Artists,Sculptors, Painters, own an Antiques store, or a specialty arts related business(or always wanted to) just email me to become locally, regionally nationally and internationally renowned.
This is one landmark I’m eager to experience.

I just looked this up
The combined batting line for last night’s starting lineup (not including Fogg) was: ..252/.311/.417 The NL average hittier (including pitchers and bench players) is hitting .259/.330/.412. The Reds had 3 players last night with an OBP and SLG higher than the league average (Votto, EdE, and Dickerson – the latter was playing in his 13th career game). They are now averaging 3.36 runs per game since Griffey and Dunn were traded. If they continue that pace, they will finish the season with just over 650 runs. It’s likely to be the lowest total for the Reds since 1997. If they don’t make it to 650, then you have to go all the way back to 1989 to find a full season where they scored fewer runs.
Dusty didn’t sign on for this.
