My roommate is watching "Dead Like Me."
It’s about people dying and balancing whimsy and gravitas. Sort of like Six Feet Under or Pushing Daisies, but fucking terrible.
Havoc
And not the good kind.
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
Cherry's out of the game
Jonny Gomes may be back before we know it.
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
He fouled a ball off his foot or something
Finished his at-bat, but didn’t come back.
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
Whoya
First post of the season. If the Reds tank in this game, you know it’s my bad luck rubbing off.
Any word yet on attendance?
The ballpark looks awfully empty.
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
he was wrong
He said, “The record low is 11,987, set April 3 last year.”
18,000 is a lot more than that.
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
I'm back from making money stuffs...
That means the offense can return and the pitching can get here…
People Don't Kill People. Burning Couches Kill People.
What's the word on Hairston?
I was able to pick up WLW in my car a bit, but couldn’t hear the details…
People Don't Kill People. Burning Couches Kill People.
He's gonna make us sorry we traded him
Isn’t he?
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
It opened up a spot for NixDonald
And we’re using pitchers as our primary pinch-hitters. I don’t see how this move backfires at all. Even though I was totally on board with it at the time.
I don't know if he'll make us sorry.
But it’ll be a nuisance.

I dunno about this Gameday premium
It says BP’s favorite and least favorite pitch is the four-seam.
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
good to see
that after 8 balls in 9 pitches that we’re up there hacking at all 3 pitches in the next batter!
"To me, boxing is like a ballet, except there's no music, no choreography, and the dancers hit each other." - Jack Handey
Dickerson's playing CF, and Nix stays in instead of McDonald
Let’s hope Dusty has seen all he needs to see of Darnell, and maybe Dickerson can throw in a diving catch for good measure.
And for extra good measure, maybe McDonald will eat K-Rod...
That’d be lucky.
People Don't Kill People. Burning Couches Kill People.
Wow...
Have the Red Sox, Rays game on ESPN 2.
One of the announcers is waaay outta line bitching about the umpire calling outside strikes ONLY on the Red Sox. Much Red Sox love on ESPN? wow.
People Don't Kill People. Burning Couches Kill People.
I told you!
They love the Sox. They don’t even try to hide it.
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
our defense
is not so good.
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
He didn't get an error
Though I thought he might. Slipped on the grass, I think. Ball went right by him. Under him, even.
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
And this one... does not belong to the Reds
wow… Lincoln needs to be out.

“Well, the Mets are a good team. I have nothing negative to say about getting blown out, running into outs, and having a weak offense.”

This game's not over
Dusty plans on overcoming the 5 run deficit by sending a pitching and defense to the plate.

Damn you, Lincoln!
I was doing perfectly fine drinking and watching baseball.
So, um, why was Masset pulled?
We want to build long period of time. I didn’t come here for the shot run.
1.2 innings is a little much for a long reliever
by Brendanukkah on Apr 8, 2009 10:11 PM EDT up reply actions
Yeah, it's not like he's ever started or anything.

McDonald wins a starting job and bats leadoff
People Don't Kill People. Burning Couches Kill People.
McDonald wins a starting job and bats leadoff
I was thinking of a Reds situational flow chart flow chart, and all arrows lead to this conclusion.
Wait, are there any conditions
under which he does not start and bat leadoff?
We want to build long period of time. I didn’t come here for the shot run.
Good news!
Gomes accepted his assignment

I mean, I read it on the Internet.
We want to build long period of time. I didn’t come here for the shot run.
Gomes didn't refuse
He’s in Louisville.
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
Yeah, that was all Bruce's fault.
We want to build long period of time. I didn’t come here for the shot run.
If there's a RBI involved
it is a productive out.
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
I would like EdE's walks more...
if they weren’t followed by ABs for Hernandez and Gonzalez.
We want to build long period of time. I didn’t come here for the shot run.
perhaps if he batted 4th
I won’t be banned by Dusty for this thought, will I?
Reds fan for 40 years!
Nothing wrong with Hernandez
This time, anyway…
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
Yeah, nothing wrong with an OBP of .200.
We want to build long period of time. I didn’t come here for the shot run.
Huh?
He just got an RBI 1B!
Reds record while I'm in attendance: 15-0 (lifetime)
Can someone score me some tickets? :)
gameday said he walked... then it said he had a run scoring play, followed by 3 balls...
People Don't Kill People. Burning Couches Kill People.
And yet it was only a single?
We want to build long period of time. I didn’t come here for the shot run.
he's a catcher
Of course he’s slow.
And it bounced off the wall, right at the fielder. Or he played it well on carom.
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
two more innings
It’s not out of reach.
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
Christ on a maple bat
I finally get home from work and look at this mess.
Looks like that great pitching has a ways to go
And BTW Fuck this gamecast shit
Its probably going to happen - bend over
4 or 5 walks and an HBP
in the 7th inning.

That guy is the one positive thing from the bullpen so far...
People Don't Kill People. Burning Couches Kill People.
I'll put Masset in the "positive" category so far
In fact, only Herrera and Lincoln have really been bad out of the bullpen so far. Everyone else has been at least decent (or unscored upon).
by Brendanukkah on Apr 8, 2009 10:32 PM EDT up reply actions
Again I ask...
why the hell did Masset come out for Lincoln?
We want to build long period of time. I didn’t come here for the shot run.
I think it might have been because his spot came up in the order
Nix pinch hit for him.

triple
He is speedy.
Then Dickerson sac fly brings him home.
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
That's the spirit!
When down by three, it makes sense to play for one run.
We want to build long period of time. I didn’t come here for the shot run.
Obviously
Taveras is not a leadoff guy. He needs someone on base in front of him, with that power.
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
he wasn't on 3B for long
Dickerson swung at the first pitch, Taveras tagged up and came home.

Just think if he could breathe healthily

HEART OF THE ORDER
LET’S GO REDS
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
Old Man Rhodes!
Giving some hope.
Come on BP— patience. You can’t hit a 2 run HR by yourself.
"Whether you like it or not, history is on our side. We will bury you!"
Well, that's a shorter swing...
a 1 strike bunt attempt?
Take one for the team, Dorn!
"Whether you like it or not, history is on our side. We will bury you!"
IT COULD TOTALLY HAPPEN...
MAYBE.

I have watched most of this fucking game without comment
Now the wife and child are in bed so here it goes.
Fuck you Gonzalez. Nice play on a DP ball, did you lose you concentrate on the goddamn ball trickling straight towards you. Volquez should punch you in the face you gimp bastard.
Fuck you Dusty. Let’s see men on 2nd and 3rd, with 1 out and Beltran at the plate. You have a lead. What do you do? Walk the mother fucker, he’s seeing the ball well today. Load the bases and hope Gonzalez doesn’t fuck it up again.
Willy – Props you are fast. That hit looked like a single and you ended up on 3rd. Hopefully you turn out to be awesome this year.

I'M IN LOVE WITH 1ST BASE UMP BILL WELKE!

EDE SLOW ROLLER TO WRIGHT AT 3RD WITH BP STEALING
DELGADO TAKES THE THROW AND SEES BP GOING TO 3RD. PULLS HIS FOOT EARLY (?), SO EDE IS SAFE. 1ST AND 3RD 1 OUT INSTEAD OF 3RD BASE AND 2 OUT.
THEN HE DOESN’T CALL RAMON FOR A CHECK SWING— PERFECT MAKE UP CALL OPPTY.

fault
This team, built on pitching and defense, cannot give up 9 runs. It doesn’t matter who didn’t do what at the end. 7 runs should have been enough to win.
If you're not having fun, stop participating.
Teams built on defense don't fumble a DP ball
