Thursday Night OT: You Can Always Tell a Milford Man

Photo

I don't feel like reliving today's spectacular debacle, but I know some of you might be interested in talking about what is going on around the league tonight.  The Cubs have already beat the White Sox and the Pirates lost to the Twins.  Houston plays Texas this evening and the Tigers go into St. Louis to play the Cardinals.  Or you can talk about whatever is on you mind, even if it is just to vent about the Reds.

By the way, I've done a little research into this Paul Janish character.  Turns out he is a graduate of the Milford Academy.  That explains a lot about why we never see him.

I just want to start this thread by saying

it made me smile to see Votto’s name in Sarasota’s lineup tonight.

Isn't there a slanket somewhere you should be filling with your farts?

he's 0-for-1 with a walk and a K against Cisco

probably can’t get The Thong Song out of his head.

An update

S-Reds have just finished the 5th inning. Jo-eh is 0-for-1 with a walk so far, and he’s due up in the bottom of the 6th.

HE NEVER SIGNED MY BALL IN RICHMOND WHEN EVERY OTHER PLAYER SIGNED IT BECAUSE HE WAS "ONLY SIGNING FOR KIDS" THOUGH NO ONE WAS BEHIND ME FOR INK!

wow, that all fit in the subject line.

might i add i drove five hours without air conditioner in 100+ degree heat when traffic was a standstill and it should have only taken two hours by distance and i had to rent a hotel room just to take a shower!

First in war, first in peace

and last in the NL East. But they’re still beating the Yankees. Corey Patterson and all. (And yes, I think he is averaging 2 pitches per at-bat.)

And somebody tell that Janish kid to quit hiding from Dusty.

He was visible in this photo from this year’s Rice baseball media guide:

That’s him in the second row on the left, on the end.

He didn’t rate a photo in the alumni section, though there was a photo of him in his Reds uniform in the “pipeline to the pros” section.

it's sad

Lannan, I was willing to concede. He’s pitching well, as the Reds discovered.

But for the rest…the Yankees are just sucking right now. There’s no way around it.

by BubbaFan on Jun 18, 2009 9:10 PM EDT up reply actions  

even worse

The Yanks could have lost the first game, too. It was only terrible defense by Elijah Dukes in CF that let them win that one. He was so bad he lost his job to Corey Patterson.

And perhaps worst of all…Brett Gardner nearly killed himself. He ran down a ball (hit by Kearns) that seemed uncatchable, and threw himself against the fence and made the catch. But the fence there was the plexiglas window to the pen, and his head smacked really hard into it. He held onto the ball, but was taken off the field on the cart.

Gardner has the role Bubba used to have, and is a similar player. Speedy little lefty. He was starting to play really well…and now this.

And there’s no one in AAA they can call up. A couple of corner OFers, but only stud prospect Austin Jackson for CF. I don’t think they’ll want to rush him.

I suppose there’s always Damon…but I think his CF days are done.

Makes me think of all the snickering Yanks fans

who were disparaging of the notion of Mike Cameron coming over in a trade.

But Yanks versus Nats, isn’t that a bit like Globetrotters versus Generals? Hey NY team and DC team.

And now Fernando Rodney is in fail mode.

Walked the bases loaded in the bottom of the 9th. 2 wild pitches. Leyland is leaving him in!?

Yay, Votto

Glad to see JV out on the field. Thanks for the pic Charlie Scrabbles. He’s looking good. With all that talk about weight loss in the paper I didn’t know what to expect (to be honest, I was expecting Corey Feldman in the Goonies—ok not really but for some reason JV reminds me of CF—a much more attractive CF). Ok that parenthetical was too long.

Glad to hear the Cards are in FAIL mode lol.

What now for fun? Anyone playing on TV?

Oh, and I got to experience “ultra-aggressive dad” at the boy’s knothole game tonight, good times. I wanted so badly to kick him in the balls hard enough that his grandkids would limp. It’s eight year olds dude, settle down.

Over the years of coaching I had a couple three or so of these

Yep the angry parent…what a drag these people are…but you I would tell all parents at the beginning of the season if you don’t like how I coach…don’t bitch or whine, come to all of my practices and see what we are trying to accomplish..if you can help all the better…otherwise keep your mouth shut. You can only yell supportive things to ALL the players not just yours and lay off the refs…now if you can’t do this then you child will not be allowed to play. Period.

You got a problem we’ll work it out…and we did..I’d always sit them down and ask them a bunch of questions about the rules (esp. soccer) and usually they only had half baked ideas of what the game was ultimately about. This would shift the enmphasisi to talking about learning the game and skill enhancement as a way to improve and to win, And we won a fuck of a lot games.

 Most parents responded quite well to my approach and helped keep those parents who would occasionally lose it, in line.

I mean the game is all about the kids, having fun, learning and using all kinds of skills and also learning how to really work hard individually and as a group… the girl that made the assist pass usually got more praise than the one who drilled it in…

You know its kind of that way here at RR….just hitting the ball of the tee

Oh, this guy was a grade A douche

He’s in the same “gym outfit” every week, baggy tracksuit pants and a way-too-tight sports themed top (did I mention it was hot as hell?). Yelling like an idiot to/at anyone who will listen. Most everyone there was embarrassed for him even though he obviously felt no shame.

His daughter was in T-ball. It. Was. Sweet.
