Looks like it's

The Court Jester (1956)

Makes sense

Although this is the first I’ve even heard of that movie.

Another nice Votto play!

In 1990 we had an 8-game west coast losing streak

and still made it. Let’s go!

Where have you gone, Johnny Vander Meer?

LeCure at almost 100 pitches

after going 120 last time. He’s running out of gas.

I dunno

it’s looking like bad in the AL is not that bad in the NL.

All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?

by BubbaFan on Jun 20, 2010 12:01 AM EDT up reply actions  

The AL at least seems to have a much wider spread

There’s teams with a .600 winning percentage like the Yanks and Rays, and a team below .300 (the Orioles). The NL has no teams above .500 or below .300.

This place needs an edit button. I mean above .600, of course.

don't muddle this with a sound argument

i’m just remembering this game thread and when you ruined Mike Leake’s no hitter.

Obviously my memory is superior to your factual based argument.

I blame our pen

LeCure was clearly tiring, but Dusty’s afraid to go to the pen.

All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?

by BubbaFan on Jun 20, 2010 12:04 AM EDT reply actions  

Ah

LeCure’s pitch count was in the 90’s, and he was doing pretty well prior to the 6th. I can’t blame Dusty for sticking with LeCure.

by justin007000 on Jun 20, 2010 12:05 AM EDT up reply actions  

His pitch count wasn't too high

but he seemed to be laboring out there.

Let me write out a formal proof for you.

by Gray on Jun 20, 2010 12:06 AM EDT up reply actions  

I don't blame Dusty

I’d be afraid to go to the pen, too.

But LeCure was cleared running out of gas. Given that one run might be the game, someone else should have come in once he got into trouble. If we had someone who could be trusted in that situation.

The Reds have said they’re going to do something about the pen, but so far, they haven’t done anything except call up Jordan Smith.

by BubbaFan on Jun 20, 2010 12:13 AM EDT up reply actions  

I don't necessarily blame Dusty

but it seemed to me that Dusty just wanted Lecure to get through the fifth just to be able to qualify for the win.

by Brian B on Jun 20, 2010 12:23 AM EDT via mobile up reply actions  

LeCure blew up in the 6th.

we have Cleveland next weekend

hopefully that will help us get healthy.

by Red_Poodle on Jun 20, 2010 12:16 AM EDT up reply actions  

Since Dusty and Walt won't adjust things logicaly

my suggestion is to wear only 1970’s unis. polyester , llama pubes, or cotton what ever.

by featherman on Jun 20, 2010 12:08 AM EDT reply actions  

What Chris welsh fails to understand

is the opposing team’s strategy vs. Lee and Hernandez. Swing at everything (especially the first pitch) and you will have pitchers going deep into ballgames against you.

so could we see 3 CGs in a week?

and I was excited that I saw a CG on Sunday, because they are “rare”…

along with doing everything else this game, can take that guy out of the game

hey he just did math

he realized that in order for the reds to win 4 out of 6 on this road trip, the Reds will need to win every game remaining on the road trip (assuming they lose tonight).

He mentioned that they call Hernandez "King Felix"

then proceeded to spell “king” for us. In case we thought he meant… some other word, I guess.

#reds haven’t lost consecutive complete games by the opposition since 9/7/03 at StL (Matt Morris, 9-0) and 9/8/03 vs Pit (Josh Fogg, 9-1)

I saw from the 4th inning on, and LeCure was not getting pitches.

It didn’t help that Ramon seemed to be reverse framing the ball.

I really can't stand to look at VEB

I just hope that Votto’s average is better than Pujols’

by Red_Poodle on Jun 20, 2010 12:37 AM EDT reply actions  

It is

Votto’s hitting .315, and Pujols is at .307. So there’s that!

the Cards people

think that they will run away with it soon. It would be sad if they do, but I don’t know what to think of this team anymore. We’re disappointing the Brew Crew people who expected us to take the division away from the Cards

by Red_Poodle on Jun 20, 2010 12:51 AM EDT up reply actions  

The Cards are far from perfect

they are an injury away from being in a lot of trouble, if something happens to Pujols, Wainwright, Carpenter, or Garcia they are in trouble. They don’t seem to have much starting pitching depth, and Garcia is in his first full season after TJ, and Carpenter has had TJ and serious shoulder surgery. I think since 2004, Carpenter has only made it through 3 complete seasons. While the Cardinals 1-3 is better than ours, Cincinnati’s 4-5 are much better than St. Louis’s. Plus if we have another injury, Wood and Maloney are waiting in the wings, they have P.J. Walter….

I’m not making post season plans, but I’m not writing anything off yet either.

Cabrera is failing at lead off

as many predicted he eventually would (Cabrera himself even sounde dlike he thought it couldn’t last) BP needs to be moved to that spot

He DID come into the league at SS.
