Domo Arigato, Mr. Joey Votto

The Reds took the lead today on a run scoring single by Joey Votto in the 8th inning. This was after Votto had tied the game 5-5 in the sixth with his 17th home run of the year. Votto is batting .387/.441/.591 since July 30th. He's now batting .294/.360/.472 on the season. If it weren't for Geovany Soto (.294/.371/.514), I'd say that Votto has a good shot at the NL Rookie of the Year Award, but he's still having an outstanding season. That's a long way from when it looked like he might be splitting time with Scott Hatteberg back during the spring.
Joey, I'm not angry anymore.
This is your open thread for the night to discuss Mr. Votto or your favorite Canadian bear. Whichever you choose.
You can also discuss tonight's Louisville-Durham game which starts at 6:05 pm ET. Homer Bailey takes on Mitch Talbot. Dayton takes on Lansing at 7:05 pm in the Single-A playoffs. I can't figure out who is pitching that game.
Or you can talk about whatever else is on your mind. It's Thursday night, which is Ladies' Night. Ladies drink for free.

hey
what neighborhood did you stay in in Sandestin? Or did you stay in one of the high rises? My in laws have a house in Laurel Grove, which is right off one of the golf courses. I like Sandestin, but I can’t say that I’d go if I had to pay for it. That whole area is expensive.

No.
Did you see them in the last two preseason games? No offense. At all.
I think we overmeet as a society.
I mean, I don't even care about NFL football...
but I was persuaded to watch, and it was painful to see.

No offense taken.

wow
I take back all my anger at him attacking one of my top 5 favorite countries. At least until Misha Saakashvili strangles an alligator to death.

My favorite Canadian bear is Winnipeg
the mascot of the Veterinary detail attached to a Canadian cavalry regiment in 1915.
During military staging in England, she was gifted to the London Zoo where she became the Zoo’s most popular attraction until 1934.
She inspired a group of well-known children’s stories that were later bought by Disney and brutally raped over and over and over again.

dayum....Bats are up 14-0 in the 3rd inning
WOohoo! Hopefully they win the series and I can see more baseball since I won’t see any more in person until next year.

I'm hoping
Scranton and Louisville win, so they play a couple of games in Scranton.

Bats are up 14-0 in the top of the 4th
They just finished a 9-run third inning. Five guys already have 2 hits each. Tatum and Janish each have homered and Richar has 2 doubles. Bailey has struck out 4 thru 3 innings, allowing only 1 hit.

I'm locked out of my apaaaartment.
I’m going to have to sleep in my car tonight or something.
Everybody's a jerk. You. Me. This jerk.

Just not your night, I’m afraid.

In conclusion, another girl helped me get a screen open and climb in the window.
Yay!

Glad you got in
I locked myself out awhile back. I ended up shinnying up the pole supporting my balcony, about 20 feet. Luckily, I’d forgotten to lock the door onto the balcony, and got in that way.
At first I was worried a neighbor would see me and call the cops, thinking I was a burglar or something.
Once I got in, I was worried that anyone could climb up and into my apartment, and no one would notice.

they should donate some runs to the big league team
and then write it off on their taxes.

Very cool.
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
Yeah, Roenicke got knocked around a little bit
in a 19-0 game. A little worrisome.

Vanderbilt/South Carolina
SEC football at its finest.
How can such a good looking man be so bad at getting to first base?
Looks like Spurrier will lose
Which makes me happy.

Vandy looked to be in control before I started watching The Simpsons. Also, where do you stand on Sunday?

South Carolina marched down the field and scored a touchdown.
They are about to get the ball back too..
I’m no good for Sunday. Saturday is good though :-)

Saturday
is my daughter’s third birthday, so I’ll be throwing water balloons, eating pizza, and playing guitar hero. Not neccessarily in that order.

I'm bored
Also, who would be interested in watching some football Sunday afternoon? OBC and I have talked about it – I’m unavailable until the 4:00 games, but am down with whatever.

Not related to Joey Votto's recent success
but whoever suggested Columbus Brewing Company’s 90 Shilling Ale, thanks be to you.
It's so watery - and yet, there's a smack of ham to it.

Where might I pick up some of that?
I’d be willing to give it a shot sometime this weekend, I trust the beer snobbery of RR. :)
How can such a good looking man be so bad at getting to first base?
I figured as much
But as someone who usually buys their beer cold and in multiples of 24, I thought I’d ask.
Most of the liquor stores near my house are of the drive thru variety, so I’ll have to make a stop as I pass through this afternoon.

I got mine at a Kroger in Dublin. I don't know if Cincinnati area stores would carry it though.

It really does beat
The Bloody Sock Curt Schilling Red Lager, which is too bitter and makes you say really stupid shit on radio call in shows.
Overserved and underwhelmed.
seems a good enough time
I want to thank Pops for throwing a great shindig for the fireworks last Sunday. If any Red Reporters get a chance to partake of his hospitality against don’t pass it up. It was a blast. Along with myself snohio and jch represented Pops’ creepy internet friends.
I second this emotion
I appreciate the hospitality, sorry if I wasn’t my normal hyperactive self. I was freaking worn out by the time I got there. :)
