Bronson Arroyo, in a hurry to take his boat to Milwaukee, works quickly, wins handily
The Joe Nuxhall Memorial Honorary Star of the Game
Bronson Arroyo - 9 IP, 5 H, 1 ER, 3 K, 1 BB. 92 Pitches.
Key Plays
- Michael Bourn walked to lead off the game and scored on Lance Berkman's sacrifice fly. The Astros offense figured that was enough for the night.
- Jerry Hairston Jr. told them they were wrong with a solo home run in the bottom of the first inning.
- Hairston put the Reds up for good in the 3rd inning with a run scoring single to plate Willy Taveras.
- Then Jay Bruce went to work, homering in the 4th - a solo shot - and the 6th - a two-run shot.
- Bruce closed out the scoring with an RBI triple to bring home Laynce Nix in the bottom of the 8th.
Other Notes
- Bronson Arroyo was the first Reds pitcher to throw a complete game in 92 pitches or less since Matt Belisle threw 91 pitches in a complete game against Pittsburgh on April 28, 2007.
- At 2 hours and 8 minutes, the game lasted only 5 minutes longer than the rain delay in Monday's game.
- The Reds reached double-digit in hits for the 4th time in the last 5 games.
- Jay Bruce's two home run game was the 4th in a year of playing in the Majors. Today marked the 1-year anniversary of Bruce's MLB debut.
- Hairston's 6 home runs so far this year match his total for 2008. He needs just 3 more home runs to set a career high.
- The Reds sweep of the Astros gave them a 6-3 home stand and put them just a half-game out of 2nd place as the head to Milwaukee this weekend.

and i feel like the two are similar, except this team has better pitching.
nobody thought the 2003 team would compete, either

i was wondering if Bruce of Bronson would be the player of the game
hard to argue with either, 2 home runs and triple is pretty good and hard to do too.

Bruce was my player of the game

To distinguish the taste.

"It seems as if every mistake I've ever made in life I've had an erection in one hand and a Bud Light in the other."
that's pretty much correct
we debated the best way to do a burger at Ray’s Hell Burger…I went for a standard bacon/cheddar/mushrooms myself. I would’ve gone for bone marrow on mine, but I already had a dinner earlier because I thought Brendan may have skatched out on me.
While we’re continuing the “awesome food in the DC area” I suggest Zaytinya’s happy hour: $4 for mezzes, a glass of wine, a beer, or this killer white wine/vodka/pomegranate drink. Classy place to bring the people who deserve it, as well, even though I went by myself…

dublin i know best, ‘cuz i’ve been there more times than i can count (and lived near it.) sadly, the econ is getting killed worse than most places, so a lot of my favorites are shutting up. but if you need advice on where to go, feel free to ask. i’ve had good fortunes there. met a lot of amazing people.

in a perfect world i become a tenured professor and return to europe many times in my life. I’m going with my dad and this will probably be his only time in Europe so he wants to see as much as possible. I figure as long as the travel fatigue doesn’t catch up I’ll be okay.

you know, the more i think about your unwarranted attack the other day, the more it pisses me off. considering all of the work i’ve done with journalists, considering all of the pro-journalist stuff i do, your jumping to erroneous conclusions to satisfy your inferiority complex is infuriating.
and for the rest of you not to call him out on it, that’s just poor form and a double standard.
i was acting more out of an overall annoyance
of your constantly saying shitty things to people than my nonexistent inferiority complex. trust me, im really arrogant.
good to see we’ve moved past that, though.
What do you mean, "blank slate"?
to clarify
psychologically, arrogance is usually the result of an inferiority complex. and by jumping to false conclusions about my posted link and by saying journalists are under attack, well.
as far as my saying shitty things to people, that’s bullshit. i have only rare bouts of animosity and it only shows up when social injustice is the issue. you read into things that aren’t there.
its laughable how hard youre trying to pick a fight
i’m not going to respond to your psychology lecture. as far as you saying shitty things to people, i’ll just that it’s not bullshit, and i’m far from the only person who thinks so.
What do you mean, "blank slate"?
it's amazing how you get a free pass
for all the shitty things you say.
and how you never call out other guys for saying the exact same things i say.
i dont think i get a free pass
i was an ass when i first came to the site, and i got called on it quite a bit. i almost got banned. now im an ass on occasion, but i dont have a habit of being confrontational every time i click post. you’ve picked at at least three people just on this thread. look down there, where you tell justin that his travel plans are “insane” and say that he can’t possibly enjoy himself with that itinerary. you’re the only person on this blog who is constantly so aggressive. i’m positive that you don’t know that youre doing it most of the time, but that doesnt mean i wont call you out on it once in a while
What do you mean, "blank slate"?
The problem is
He’s taking an issue up with you personally. Why do you have to drag the rest of us into it? Do you need the extra support somehow?
Maybe (definitely) the argument shouldn’t have happened here, but it did. At any point either of you could have taken it elsewhere. You didn’t, so be it.
boobs doesn’t get a free pass for saying controversial things, he simply presents them is a nonaggresive manner.
You’d do well to learn from this: Louder Does Not Equal More Right.
Me? I think journalists had better adapt quickly before they go the way of the dinosaurs, and most of them don’t deserve their bloated salaries. See? It’s possible to see both sides of the argument. Maybe the person that disagrees with you doesn’t hate you.
"It seems as if every mistake I've ever made in life I've had an erection in one hand and a Bud Light in the other."
fair enough
"It seems as if every mistake I've ever made in life I've had an erection in one hand and a Bud Light in the other."
i agree
that i shouldnt have brought the issue here. and i apologize (to D) for being so combative in the first place. the facebook post really rubbed me the wrong way, for reasons i stated before, and that’s why i snapped.

don’t kid yourself.
but you’re still younger, so you can do it. but when you get older, you just can’t.
well i may find something related to Europe to research for my ph.d disorientation
and go back for that. A lot of my profs, even the americanist seem to have found a reason to spend a large amount of time in Europe.
Studying abroad in Europe was the one goal I didn’t achieve in college, I went to Cuba instead. I almost went to Buenoes Iares for spring quarter, but I couldn’t justify the $11K price tag of that 4 month study abroad, plus it would have delayed my graduation because my credits wouldn’t have been audited, and that may have fucked with grad school.

I hope Bruce keeps it up
Awesome game from Bruce. I was at the game on Sunday and he looked awful. I hope that this is a sign of him turning it around.

Can't wait for the next two series.
I think we should take 2 of 3 from the Brewers, and at least split with the Cards.

The Post game show has got to be killed. It is just dreadful.
I propose the dusty and Dick show.
They’d talk about the game and give us insight into the moves they made etc.
Dick: ‘Hi, welcome to the Dusty Dick show, I’m Dick’
Dusty " For real you are man, and I’m Dusty Baker Red’s manager. Well Dick we had a pretty impressive outing from Bronson tonight, wouldn’t you say"
Dick" No kidding Skip, you know before the game he throwing up all over the place, I wasn’t sure he was going to be able to pitch, but Mark Berry got him some kind of ‘jiuce’ and that seemed to calm his stomach"
Dusty" I was pleased to see Jay Bruce get the bat on the ball tonight too"
Dick “Who…?”
Dusty" Anyway we have Bronson Arroyo here and…Bronson what’s happening man, you’re really in a groove right now"
Bronson " Dude, hell yes, you know I had some thumb problems from doing bar chords on Tequillaville and then my boat wasn’t running smooth. But you know I try to just stay mellow and I work before every game with Mark Berry – he my sport’s psychologist connection"
Dusty “Nice to get some offense from Jay Bruce..”
Bronson" Who…oh you mean the’ I wanna be Adam Fucking Dunn’ guy? Hell all he wants is $100 Million… "
Dusty “Well our time’s up say good-bye dick”
Bronson “Good-bye Dick”
Dick"Who…"
"I just wanted to be like my dad, Jesus. He was a good shortstop.

He might have a beer or two but
Methinks he’s just a goodl ol’ briar who has chosen (or found his comfort zone by) playing the idiot jester to sMary’s pompous and (i believe) ’roided ego.

Don’t ruin my perceptions. I like to think that bad announcers are products of their over-consumption.

Harry Carey very rarely drank in the booth
it was an image he wanted to project, however, because one of the ballclub’s biggest sponsors was Budweiser. brilliant.

Waite Hoyt used to knock a few down during the games too
As a player and an announcer.
Here’s a good baseball story from Pete Rose:
The father of a beer belch that could knock down every drop of loose water in the locker-room shower was, of course, Babe Ruth. “When the Babe left the train for the ball park,” relates Pete Rose, as if Rose were not only alive then but could still smell the yeast, “he would remind the porter to have the bathtub full of beer by the time he returned.” Rose got the story straight from Waite Hoyt, the late pitcher and alcoholic, who along with Third Baseman Joe Dugan was a pallbearer at Ruth’s funeral in August 1948. “I’d give $100 for a cold beer,” Dugan whispered to Hoyt, who murmured, “So would the Babe.”
And so would Mads…
