PrintI can think of at least two with soccer and hockey. Can you name them?
Oh, and the Reds are rallying here with a 5-2 lead now.

strange move...
HAving Hanigan bunt, to me, was a sure sign that Wood was going to stay in the game. At only 83 pitches, this is a strange move.
Also, didn’t the bullpen just pitch 5+innings yesterday?

yeah, but there are a lot of rested guys.
Masset, Rhodes, Smith, and CoCo should all be good to go.
Even Fisher could probably go again if need be. Plus, with the off-day tomorrow, Dusty can afford to do this.

i was trying to figure out what in the world you guys were talking about
no fair hiding topics of conversation in the parts i don’t read!

Some kid named Gareth won it, I think.

there was a GREAT show on around 02-04 there called Fame Academy
It was like Idol except they had to play instruments and write their own music too.
Best talent I’ve ever seen on any of those shows (from the UK anyway)
see what I did there with uzr? it’s like a LOL cats saber-pun combo.--Verka Serduchka
my favorite show in the uk is called "come dine with me"
i watched it while cyn was sleeping off jet lag. Basically, 4 jerks have a dinner-party competition & each half-hour episode is one of them hosting the other 3. It’s as entertaining as you’d expect from watching British people cooking.
The whole "Hells Kitchen" thing started there too
It was as awful there as it is here.
Also, “I’m a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here!”. Worst show ever. Did that ever come to the US?
see what I did there with uzr? it’s like a LOL cats saber-pun combo.--Verka Serduchka
Yup
Spencer and Heidi were on it, but that’s all I remember. And Big Brother is wildly popular over there. But most of our reality competition shows come from there. Strictly Come Dancing became Dancing With the Stars.
by Brendanukkah on Jul 28, 2010 4:29 PM EDT up reply actions
Yeah, but big brother is kinda cool there because they can actually show the housemates actually having sex
Speaking of which, the “watershed” thing is crazy over there.
It’s like, you hit 9 p.m. and all of a sudden anything goes. If I remember correctly, I saw Showgirls on one of the national channels there, uncensored. It came on at 9.

As well as the "Got Talent" series...
BGT is kind of entertaining – Though I love Nick Cannon(‘s wardrobe) I feel like America’s version has too many sexed up toddlers and not enough dancing pets.

yeah, but
Isn’t that the show that unleashed Susan Boyle on the world?

Meh.
She faded into obscurity quick enough. I only watched the hilarious audition episodes.
This team wouldn't be so bad if it weren't for all the losing.
that was so worth it
the week we were there, Boyle was in Heathrow and lost her mind. Tried singing into a mop, among other things. A shame we didn’t see it.

"Now onto more important things: Punching Errorlando Cabrerror in the fucking tits." -Geki
Assuming that pinch hitting Nix was a good idea...
(and I think it was questionable at best)….can someone tell me why we wouldn’t keep him in to play LF over Gomes to upgrade the defense with a 3 run lead in the later innings? Are they going to try to get 2 innings out of Smith? That is the only thing I can think of. That seems unnecessary with Masset/Rhodes/Cordero all fresh and Fisher probably ok to go as well. Hmmm.
Apparently, that is the case.
I bet they play some knifey/spoony here.
"Red Reporter - An elitist clique full of like-minded douchebags." - BK

There's your answer. Smith back out for the 7th
see what I did there with uzr? it’s like a LOL cats saber-pun combo.--Verka Serduchka
I'd agree
and plus, you could’ve put Smith in Cabrera’s spot and then put Janish in. Lots of options.

Exactly....there were a bunch of options here.
…and it is not like Jonny is having the best game in LF today to start with…it has been a bit of adventure. It probably doesn’t hurt us today (I certainly hope not), but it is that kind of little stuff that concerns me as we head into August in a pennant race.
yeah, I guess it didn't hurt us to keep Jonny in LF :-)

Welsh says it was a really stupid play by Gomez
and last game, he said he didn’t mind BP’s attempt at all.
I guess you could say different situation down by 3 here vs. leading off game...
but Thom is kind of a dipshit…no doubt.
I was just kinda astounded by how harshly he criticized it
He didn’t just question it, he forcefully and with conviction said “very stupid”
In this rare occasion, I agree with him.
What does a mama bear on the pill have in common with the World Series? No cubs.
I agree as well
but testing Gomes is not generally bad policy, there’s little time to make up a rather significant differential, Gomez is super fast. I am just surprised by how brash Welsh was
Different situation.
BeeP’s was leading off a game, not down two with only 9 outs left.

I'm hoping this is not the case.
Nothing against Nix, but Dickerson offers a lot more value to this team when healthy. His speed, defense, and ability to get on base outweigh Nix’s power in my mind.

Absolutely
I’d much rather have Dickerson or Dorn, for that matter, on the team
But I don’t see them DFAing Nix

That's what I was referring to, yeah.
This team wouldn't be so bad if it weren't for all the losing.
So let me get this straight...
We leveraged Rhodes in the 7th to pitch to bottom feeding losers and now, after 5 pitches, we are going to pull him as we roll over into the top of the order…where the “good” players reside?
and then pinch hit with a pitcher
its all a bit dada, I admit

Year of the pitcher?
That’s fornicating equine excrement!
"People don't kill people. Burning oreo packages kill people."
Agreed, and here's why:
By early September we are ahead of the Cardinals by 8 games in the division, so they call up Yonder to give Votto a breather to get ready for the playoffs. Votto is stuck at 36 homers, but he gets a good rest for a couple weeks.
Meanwhile, Yonder goes 25-60 with 5 homers in his cup of coffee, which persuades the Marlins in the offseason to trade HanRam for him, straight up.
Oh, and the rest means Votto hits 8 homers in the playoffs on the way to winning World Series MVP.

He was really happy. He also said the other players were saying things to him that coudln’t be repeated on the ai lol. They also showed footage of Rolen and Votto chatting about the distance of teh home run. I knew Votto would try to go for a home run after that.
