::Sad:: Reds lose, 5-2.
The Reds lost despite a mostly good outing from Homer Bailey. They didn't manage to get any runs until the ninth inning. It was the cap to a terrible sports weekend (except those of you who happen to like Indianapolis or Kentucky or the Dallas Cowboys).
Mostly though, the Reds were officially eliminated from contention for the NL Central title. So endeth the season.

i like indianapolis and/or kentucky
don’t care much for the cowboys though
Made from 100% Recycled Awesome,
I feel like going on a rampage.
Between the Reds and the Bengals, I’m mad as hell, and I’m not going to take it anymore.

this is the kind of thoughtful, introspective and hilarious nonsense that makes me love RR – It is the greatest pic to grace a RR post game recap.

Mads is right. that pretty much sums up the sentiment of RR this season.

I've sworn off college football, now.
this is probably the most despondent weekend I’ve ever had that didn’t involve female-induced heartbreak

I had a fantastic day
Went to the Reds game. Got home at 6:30, and just now finished watching the Bengals game on TiVo. Well, time to get ready for work.
That Bengals ending didn’t really happen, did it? How did the Bengals get charged for a challenge in the last minute? Is that a rule change? Doesn’t that have to be an official review? Not sure it matters though since the Bengals did call a timeout. That time should not have been run off the clock. Still Carson didn’t look good, Coles looked bad, and some bad play calling (too many short pass attempts).

I think what happened was that they called a time out
and they wouldn’t have been charged with the time out if the challenge had gone their way, but since it didn’t, they were. I think.
Definitely a good argument.
this is the only corner of the internet that's not up in arms over kanye west
What do you mean, "blank slate"?
How could he be so heartless?

It'll pass.
For some reason, people love Kanye.

what's wrong with loving Kanye?
And who the hell watches the VMAs, anyways?

Bats’ season ended today, too. They lost, meaning it will be the Durham Bulls vs. the SWB Yankees for the championship.
I guess that might mean more callups tomorrow.

hmmmm
Someone from Louisville posted at the Fay’s blog that Jay Bruce looks like he’s gained 30 pounds. They said he was wearing Kevin Barker’s uniform because nothing else fit. (Is that true?)

Pointed to the Cincinnati game as one of the most bizarre endings ever.

I like football
I used to think baseball was the most boring game in the world, short of golf.
Obviously I’ve changed my mind about baseball, but I still find football exciting in a way baseball isn’t. The clock, the nonstop action – it’s like mainlining adrenaline.
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
i don't know i never got into football
i am baseball first, and a distance second is men’s college basketball. Maybe I will go to a Ph.D program with a decent team. Loyola is terrible and Ohio Northern is D-3.
Yeah I’m totally basing my Ph.D decision on college basketball.

As someone who based his undergrad decision on that
I’m not that disappointed about it. Go for it.

“I had one bad year of injuries when I managed the Giants and one bad year of injuries when I managed the Cubs, but never anything like this year. Not even close.”
—Manager Dusty Baker.
Baker, you should look into why the injuries are following you around when you manage. May be it is the way that you manage? The way you handle the pitchers and players. Check it out and may be you will learn something. The Reds don’t need you.
not a good sports weekend...
2 kids, 4 soccer games 0-4
reds lost
bengals lost
Ohio State lost
Miami OH lost and haven’t scored yet this season
Nobody listens to Andrew
most crushing for me
Bats lost. That means it will be the Rays’ farm team, the Durham Bulls, coming to Scranton later this week, instead of the Bats.
They just haven’t been the same since Kevin Barker was called up.
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
Agreed.
That Durham team is something else though, especially their closer, Winston Abreu. That dude looked like a man among boys, and when Chris Valaika is your only hope, you’re not going to win.

Time to cheer up
Have to get ready for the epic beatdown that UK is going to put on Louisville Saturday.
First time I shot her, shot her in the side.
Hard to watch her suffer, but with the second shot she died...
