I think the Scott Baker v. Rick Porcello matchup
is almost fortuitous as the Tigers could have hoped for. If they Tigers don’t win today, they don’t deserve it.
IAN! I'm on traain!
Cabrera
is a wild one.
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
I can't believe he blew a .26 the night/morning before a game.
That is an impressive binge. A lot of people were talking about suspending Cabrera (or benching him for tonight’s game). I wonder if the Reds would do that. Or the Rockies, who are pretty adamant about their players being good Christian boys.
IAN! I'm on traain!
Also, I don't remember the Reds suspending Ryan Freel
I can’t find any mention of whether or not they did. Someone with a better memory/stronger google-fu?
I know
WTF was he thinking?
Maybe they’d have avoided this playoff if he were, you know…sober.
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
He's been in a slump that predates the night of the incident.
And the Saturday night loss was a pretty emphatic one. Plus, I don’t like the Tigers chances without him. Hey, he almost just scored the go ahead run.
IAN! I'm on traain!
The story I heard was that he was out drinking with members of the White Sox
So, fraternization is obviously a bad idea, but one wonders if it was the Pale Hose Players that took him out in the first place. Kind of a more direct, less fun version of sending a hooker to the guy’s room the night before a big game.
interesting
Yanks and Red Sox fans are known to practice that ploy. Buy the opposing team’s players drinks, or if you’re a bartender, make them extra strong.
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
He said he was "focused"
I just can’t buy that he was focused while toasted. I guess the Twins should thank Miguel Cabrerra.. And if the Tigers lose, they can blame it on the juice!:
I am rooting for the Twins, I admit
I’m not even sure why, other than I covet Joe Mauer’s offensive production
Great Header Brendan!!!

All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
sounds like she gave as good as she got
Maybe she beats him up every day. ;-)
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
it did say they were both beat up
maybe the fight started because she was dissappointed in him leaving 4 on base in a crucial game.
definitely a good reason for punching out your husband!
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
Another story
While he was out drinking, he tried to pick a fight with some 300 pound kid and told him he should “work out.”
Hee! Miguel Cabrera calling someone fat!
I don't really care
as long as it’s not the Angels.
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
especially since the title
doesn’t make it clear it’s a gamethread.
But two new articles were posted to the front page shortly before the game started, so I guess Brendan didn’t want to bury them with a game thread.
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
Yup
I probably should have included “Game Thread” in the title, but it was pretty long already. And there was a ton of stuff going on in the front page already, at least some of it having to do with the Reds. Plus, if those bands aren’t a draw, all the activity going on in here will draw in the curious.
hmm
i don’t know about that.
this is a thread that will actually get activity. It’s where people will want to have discussion. The threads that already have the benefit of being on the main page only have a couple of comments.
Made from 100% Recycled Awesome,

"Nick Punto does the little things, knows when to take that extra base..."
that initial base, however, eludes him yet.

Let's go Twinkies
What this game needs is some extra innings.

All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
Is nobody watching this game?
It’s a pretty good game, dammit.
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
I didn't realize
it wasn’t available in all markets.
That kinda sucks.
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
Actually, I think it is in all markets
I just don’t have cable at the moment (at least I think it is). It’s an exciting game—and the Twinkies just took the lead!
I've been sitting here the whole time
looking for the pitcher in the btting order and realized i’s an AL game. I’m blaming that on the fever too
Holy cow!
Twinkies take the lead on Orlando Cabrera’s 2-run homer.
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
watchnig this
reminds me of that horribleMts shutout in 1999. That game should have been more like this one
The only home team to lose a one-game playoff
in the wildcard era, I believe. Depressing.

Joe Mauer is awfully cute
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
I'm glad you brought it up
because he is, and that batting average is even cuter. That guy is an incredible player
Not to mention he's a catcher
The hardest position to fill.
He’s gonna look great in pinstripes.
And I wonder if the Reds regret cutting Brendan Harris loose.
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
lol, thanks for mentioning that
now I know the next time I’m at a game, I’ll be inadvertently staring at Ryan Hanigan’s thigh
I went to a Dayton Dragons game this past spring.
Let me just say, the day Kevin Coddington makes it to the big leagues will be a great, great day.

Wow, Nathan got two outs by throwing 1 strike.
Which was called a ball. Outside of the plate has been a ball all night.

he is another “Joe” who can hit well, so it’s easy enough to make the transition. Let’s hope next year the Reds get far enough that I don’t have to look for other Joes to root for at the season’s end of the regular season
