For the first time all year, a team outside the NL East wins a series at Citi Field. Reds win, 3-1.
Joe Nuxhall Memorial Honorary Star of the Game
Brandon Phillips. The All-Star went 2-5, hitting a double and a home run, driving in two. He played some eye-popping defense as well. Honorable mentions go to Chris Heisey and Bronson Arroyo.
Key Plays
- Angel Pagan homered off of Bronson Arroyo in the first inning. It would be the only run the Mets would get. Mets lead, 1-0.
- Brandon Phillips tied things up for the Reds, hitting a home run, his twelfth of the year, off of Jon Niese in the third inning. Game tied, 1-1.
- The Mets threatened a few times, but timely pitching and defense, such as Chris Heisey's spectacular catch in the sixth inning to rob Jason Bay of extra bases, kept the Mets off the board.
- After making that catch, Heisey came up to bat in the seventh inning and hit a home run to left field to give the Reds the lead. Then Drew Stubbs reached on an infield single, and one out later, Bronson Arroyo blooped a bunt to reach base. Brandon Phillips then hit a ground rule double to drive in Stubbs, although Bronson would have easily scored on the play. Reds win, 3-1.
Other Notes
- Bronson Arroyo did not walk a batter, only the second time this season he's done that.
- Bronson pitches well against the Mets. Going into tonight's game, he had held them to a career .655 OPS against, the seventh lowest total of any team Arroyo has faced. One of the teams that has fared even worse against Arroyo in his career? The Cincinnati Reds, with a .568 OPS against in two games.
- Arroyo's allowed 1 run at Citi Field in 17 innings, has never walked a Met there, only given up 11 hits, and struck out 8. It's like anti-Toronto.
- The Reds wore "Vote Votto" shirts under their uniforms today. Did you?

I'm fine with that, too,
since I’ve read that Alonso doesn’t have the foot speed to be an outfielder. I am wary, however, of them doing what the Brewers did for Sabathia – giving up their best prospect so they could win the wild card and be bounced in the divisional round.
You never know until it happens though
I think we have to make a move to show we are serious about winning this thing. Plus a hammer at the top of the rotation — be it Lee, Haren, or whoever — would be a huge addition to this team.
by wishfuldrifter on Jul 7, 2010 11:44 PM EDT up reply actions
I'm against trading for Lee.
If we had a glaring hole in our rotation, then I’d be worried. Okay, well maybe Homer/LeCure/Wood, but I’m confident in Wood to get us through the year if Homer can’t get his shit together. And with Volquez coming back, that’s Arroyo, Cueto, Leake, Volquez, Harang, and Lee. Six starters, when we only need four in the playoffs, even after Bud adjusts the schedule to eliminate off days. Unnecessary, and I don’t think we need to block the Cardinals from getting him. Save Francisco and Alonso and whoever else it will cost for a SS acquisition (or closer, which won’t happen).

This is about getting a shutdown ace to win playoff series. You have to think beyond just making the playoffs. The real goal is to WIN in the playoffs!

by DevilsAdvocate on Jul 8, 2010 12:32 AM EDT up reply actions
Luck?
Luck is when you get Ryan Franklin after he’s stunk up everywhere he’s played, and he turns into your closer. Or when you acquire other former Reds who sucked in Cincinnati but somehow remember how to play baseball when they become Cardinals (and especially when they play the Reds. Jason LaRue, Felipe Lopez, etc.).
Luck is when a pitcher completely forgets how to play baseball, goes to the minors, and comes back to be a factor in your offense (Ankiel, 2008). Wha? Luck is when you take a player nobody has ever heard of and he becomes a cornerstone of your offense (Ludwick circa 2008). Luck is when you let a guy skip AAA and he turns out to be the best player in the game.
The Cards have been riding a hot streak for years. What a bunch of hypocrites.

I understand no one wants to lose.
But I don’t get why losing the division would be the end of the world. I mean, the Cards have dominated the central this decade. Going to tr playoffs almost every year and winning it all once. I mean hell, I was going to be satisfied with a winning season for the Reds this year.

“entitled” is a pretty good word for them, as a collective. A year without the playoffs seems like it would do them good.

I would not do it at VEB. I think they’re taking what we say here a bit too seriously. A lot of this is either tongue-in-cheek, or reactions to a lot of the media treating this division as belonging to the Cards right from the start. We’ve endured over a decade of bad ownership and bad management that drove this once proud franchise into the fucking ground. Now that the Reds have shown they’re for real (at least for half a season) we feel like crowing about it a bit, and there’s nothing wrong with it.

Okay folks
I just want to say a couple of things. Sorry if this sounds preachy, but whatever:
There is no need to go to another site and rub it in. You can go there to have friendly banter, but just remember how much it pissed us off when that douchebag Braves fan came to our site after that disaster on May 20. I trust you guys weren’t being belligerent over there, but you know damn well that it doesn’t matter what an opposing fan says if you’ve just watched your team suck it two nights in a row. Just keep that in mind.
I’m only saying this because I don’t want a Reds-Cards rivalry to turn into the annoying BCB-BCB rivalry from 2008. For those not familiar, when the Cubs and the Brewers were competing for the division in ‘08, fights regularly broke out between Brew Crew Ball and Bleed Cubbie Blue. It got to the point where I stopped going to Brew Crew Ball (I rarely go to Bleed Cubbie Blue anyway) because it seemed like every thread devolved into trash talking between Cubs and Brewers fans (though I’m probably exaggerating a bit).
I’m not saying it needs to be a friendly rivalry where everyone holds hands, but don’t go over there to taunt them when things go bad. You know how it’s going to end up, and honestly it’s fairly classless. At the very least, wait until we’ve earned a reason to be cocky, mkay?
Now savor the fact that the Reds have a 3-game lead! It’s all that matters right now anyway!

Lookout Landing is watching SyFy and drinking Tang, BCubbieB is at a sad frat drinking Red Bull and vodka, and Athletics Nation is at the software launch party drinking Oregon wine. All the time, we’re at the house party with the Hollywood star, the international men of mystery, and the famous author crushing beers and shots, celebrating weddings, and making a mockery of the local law.
Just because we’re starting to come into our own doesn’t mean we have to make everyone else feel bad. This has been an exciting summer so far, but lets go as far as we can before the cops crash the party. Be fun, be welcoming, be straddling the line between sane and Madville, and when VEB asks if we have any warm cans or whippets left, let ’em know we got a couch in the basement. But no need to instigate that conversation.

Not a goddamn thing.
Carrier’s stuff rocks the house.
A Pete Rose by any other name would still smell of cheap hookers and pinetar.
Well, I'm fond of the J.K. Carrier
Pinot. Overpriced to be sure, against a good Bourgogne, but still delicious. If you’re looking for rockin’ white, Chehalem chard is hard to beat. Again, a French style, ‘cause the growing conditions are similar to Burgandy in the Willamette Valley. (Chehalem has the Inox and the regular. Stick with the regular. It’s better)

Never had a bad Pinot out of Oregon
or Washington for that matter
I’m not a Chard fan at all. Never liked the initial taste of it.

the couch belongs to boobs though, I'm not sure how that would go down

I agree
beyond not being a good thing to do, a flame war between two team blogs could be some kind of terrible bad luck—I’m not even really kidding
Atlanta was terrible, absolutely terrible and it’s no fun to have that rubbed in. It’s not like VEB haven’t had posters give us crap before, but it’s not a good thing to kick VEB when they are down
If we end up winning the division
I’m going to rub it just as hard in the faces of Cards fans as they rubbed it in mine. Not necessarily online, but I will be making some (more) Cardinal fans cry.

This is the reason I've refrained from joining VEB
And why I try not to go read it, because generally they just enrage me.
VEB?
I go out of town and there is a melee?
A virtual melee?
Damn I miss all the fun…
Although I will refrain from going to VEB and taking a virtual shit on their virtual dining room table…its only because Slyde asks us not to.
Although………….
Though some might argue that "best utility player" is a contradiction in terms.

Then it comes to be that the soothing light at the end of your tunnel, is just a freight train coming your way...
wait, are you an author or a commenter?

You stay out of this.

I assume I’m the Hollywood star.
Can’t believe I missed a good fight. I’m like an ace in the whole in that capacity. Damned disappointing. One thing we’re forgetting here is that Reds fans do not have to apologize for enjoying being in first. We are not borrowing first place, it is ours. No shame in enjoying it. But since they have gleaned that all of us are generally assholes here at RR, I say fuck them. I’m not visiting their site (I’ve seen misery and denial before, here, in fact) because I have no desire to interact with them in any way. Kiss my pucker.

Oh, I'm perfectly fine with being rowdy as hell here
I’m just not all for having a chili party and then running over to the neighbors house to take a dump on their couch. That’s what their swimming pool is for. We’ll get ’em when they are on vacation!

I dont think the initial post was quite that bad
it was more like throwing a dead skunk in their backyard and they weren’t having any of it
It's also going to be full of shit!
I’ll be damned if I’m getting in it.

well, I was thinking more Petey, Verka, Slyde
but we’re probably partying at your house, from what I’ve gathered from surveillance reports.

Sure, Stately Daniels Manor is the place.
Just stay the fuck out of my Pops Cave (and no I don’t mean my wife).

what do you think the surveillance reports were to determine?
