Game 113: Reds vs Brewers
Milwaukee Brewers @ Cincinnati Reds
|
|
|
Remember the slight air of hope that you may have felt prior to the Rockies series? Yeah, me neither. I don't know what to say at this point. I still watch off and on, but honestly I watched Wipeout on Saturday night instead of the game. Wipeout?!?!

Hopefully they can do something to make the rest of this season interesting, but with the way they've been playing lately, I don't have a lot of hope. Maybe Joey Votto is just getting ready to give us a Player of the Month performance for August? Something like that could get him the Rookie of the Year award too. Well that's what I'm rooting for then! Help us, Joey-wan-Kenobi, you're our only hope!

Man
I’m home sick and still couldn’t get first. :(
How can such a good looking man be so bad at getting to first base?

Someone should tabulate the "First" records so far this season.
We need a proven veteran “first” poster to get out of this slump.

Ok, I won't be at this game
So a) we’ll have a chance of winning, and b) this game thread might exceed 200 comments. But c’mon people, I’m only one man.

WTF?
Who did this lineup? Why is there a first baseman in the two-hole, when there’s a perfectly good CFer available?

Maybe Dusty thinks that
this team is so hopeless for the rest of this season, that the fans will stop bitching about the batting order.

I haven't decided
whether I should be happy about EdE batting third, or mad that Dunn’s still batting 5th. Hm.

Well it is bowling night, maybe they'll have the game on at the lanes:
With this batting order we’ll probably have Australian Football. Boy is Dusty OTL. I read that he likes batting Dunn 5th because he’s always batted 5th even in the minors. therefore he a #5 kind of guy.

i think this sums it up quite nicely
“The third man, a 34-year-old Joliet resident, was not charged with a felony because he did not reach the victim until after the initial beating had taken place. Milwaukee police cited him for disorderly conduct and misdemeanor assault after he allegedly punched his sister in the mouth as she tried to intervene in the fight, police said.”
punched his own sister in the mouth. i bet alot of Cubs fans can relate to that.

Off Subject but I ran across this photo while searching for information about Jedi buntmansters. Sure looks a lot like Crolfer...

Crolfs if that’s you you need to fatten that baby up.

I’ll probably just watch High Fidelity instead. It came via the crappy canadian version of netflix, zip.ca…which doesn’t really care what your preferences are, since they never send you anything in the top 40 of your queue anyway.

August is my favorite month. The kids are out of school, and Congress is on vacation. What’s normally a 90 minute commute takes 40 minutes, tops. Traffic can tell me how my ass tastes.

speaking of announcers
Skip Caray’s death really saddened me. I heard him in NC all the time with the Braves blanketing the state and he had Marty’s sarcastic attitude without being a dick about it.

A nice article on Marty's thoughts
From what little I heard from Skip, he seemed like one of the good ones. He was a homer but not obnoxious about it.

Over.
5 dollar view level tickets and dollar hot dogs for this series. That’s the only reason why I’ll take the over.

I saw this over on Brew Crew Ball
.414 BA
.485 OBP
.931 SLG
1.416 OPS
That’s Edwin’s line against the Brewers this year. So, good thing he’s batting third. And Bill Hall is not in the starting lineup. We might have a chance!

Gutsy.

One curveball for a ball
The rest were 89 mph fastballs. And Bronson gets Braun to fly out. Time for Braun to go rest on the Sabathia.

Shucks, I was hoping to be able to use the “K”orey slam. Dacub is so clever! How does he come up with this stuff?

Just save it.
It’s only a matter of time before the Reds sign T. S. F. “K”orey Casto. So many applicable RR memes!
