Around SBN: Nevin Shapiro Vows To Bring Down Miami

::Sad:: Reds lose, 5-2.




Sad_20vader_medium

via gadgets.boingboing.net

 

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 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.

Brendanukkah - Maybe the greatest picture yet

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.

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).

by Brian B on Sep 13, 2009 10:02 PM EDT via mobile reply actions  

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.

For some reason, people love Kanye.

what's wrong with loving Kanye?

And who the hell watches the VMAs, anyways?

sigh

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.

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.

—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

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.

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...
