Red Reposter: No Time to Mope
Last night was a disaster, but they're still going to play the game today, so we'll have to carry on with the Reposter:
-
The Reds have the difficult task of putting the last 2 games behind them. I think Jonny Gomes has some good perspective on the situation though:
"We’re not going to go undefeated," he said. "We already determined that. You don’t want to lose like that. But it’s the same as a 1-0 loss.
"Today really sucked. But tomorrow will determine what kind of team we are."We've heard a lot about this team's bounceback ability. Well, they are now one-game under .500 and tied for 4th place with the Astros in the NL Central. Granted, they are still only 3.5 games out of first, but I think we are finding out right now what this team is made of, and it's not good.
-
Paul Daugherty thinks the Reds should emulate the Cardinals. Honestly, I don't quite get what he's arguing except to say that the Reds aren't really a small market team. Otherwise, if he's saying the Reds should draft Albert Pujols and put a winning team on the field, then, yeah, he's right. Great insight, Paul!

-
Two Reds players were named Defensive All Stars by FanGraphs. I'm guessing the same wouldn't happen on the offensive side.
-
On Saturday, Micah Owings became the 37th pitcher to have multiple 3+ HR seasons in his career. So there's that.
-
Minor League managers should get tossed more often. They always seem to make it memorable.

The Cubs are finally sold for $900 million. Well, sort of.

In case you missed it, Ryan Freel is with his 4th organization in a year. This time Farney takes his act to Kansas City.

Dangit, where did bug eyes go? :)

Yeah, I bombed
I got 4/10. Embarrassing really, considering how long I’ve been watching baseball.

I’m as accurate as a typical ump, methinks.

I’m almost as good as Slyde!
Actually I got one wrong because I misread the question, which probably makes me qualified to be an ump anyway.

T5hat Janish pitching graph was great
I am impressed with his strike throwing ability. Then again, not all pitchers intentionally throw strikes becuse some of those down the middle strikes are pretty easy to hit. Worst part, I think Janish might have been able to just as well against Pujols as Weathers considering the worst possible thing happend anyway lol
if this SS thing doesn't work out
They really should give him a shot as a relief pitcher.
(But what’s with that “husband, father” thing? Last I heard, Janish had a girlfriend, but no wife or kids.)

I pity his mom and his girlfriend
if they Googled his name this morning. That was the first link that game up. :-)

That photo of Janish
The AP caption says it’s Roenicke. :-D
Sounds like Janish is something of a card. (Not the kind that plays in St. Louis.) “I picked up the team…”

Why not here?
This is the shirt Farney/Ash were talking about. I love it.

This has to be somebody with RR ties, right?
it’s too coincidental not to, right?

EGG!!!!!
That photo was worth sitting through the 10-1 ass-ramming. Also, who’s sexy shoulder is that in the right hand corner? He looks brawny.
Eighty-five percent of the f*ckin' world is working. The other fifteen percent come out here. A f*ckin' playground for the cocks*ckers.

hopefully
the Reds can come out today with some decent pitching and put the last two games way behind them
Don't pick a fight with an old man. If he is too old to fight, he'll just kill you.
You coming to the game on 7/18?
I’d love to see a group come down from Columbus for it.

I can't believe I agree with Paul
if this team fielded a team like a middle market team, it would draw like one
The Reds called up Robert Manuel today to help fill out the bullpen
No corresponding move just yet.

Cueto to the DL, perhaps?
I don’t know if I’d prefer him to have had a back injury, or for him to just sucked.
He sits alone...Reds are not home.
I'm guessing something more like Janish or Sutton to Louisville
"It seems like we're not hitting because we're not getting hits." - Dusty being Dusty
Not Janish!
We need him he is, at the very least, like the rodeo clown who comes out to distract the bull to prevent further destruction and to give us something less horrifying to look at
Which Manuel

Robert "Middle Man"-uel!
I can see you're not going to agree with me, so let's move on. - Bill Maher
Drew Sutton sent down to make room for Manuel.

The qiuz is wrong.
I know baseball better than anyone here. That quiz was full of shit. It said I only had three correct answers..bullshit, you’re goddamn out if you leave your fucking glove in the way…you can count on that, if your glove’s in fair territory then the ficking ball is a home run..hell even T- ballers know that…we need a better quiz and a more relevant one like:
Home many beers did it take to get Whitey Ford snockered
Home many women did Wilt really fuck
Is Clint Hurdle gay – T or F
Whats a beer cost in the Machine Room
C’mon somebody help us out here.
