Quite a few comments for a day game, huh!
I wish more people read the comments on the Farm report today. I posted things about how our future is sew briightt.
Anyway, on this whole Cueto business..
I read a few people talking about whether or not it was indefensible and I’m sure this is a dead horse by now, but when people are coming at you and you’re pinned, you’re gonna defend yourself. Maybe Yadier shouldn’t have been such a whiny bitch when BP touched his shinguards and none of this would have happened.
Pitcher suspensions don't hurt very much.
He’d miss like one start by a few days? And he could appeal too?
Suspensions should probably include BP, Yadier, Carpenter, Rolen, LaRue and whoever else was going after Cueto, and Cueto. Apparently Arthur took someone out? I didn’t see that.
Yeah, McGwire

He called the Cardinals whiny bitches.
That’s not good, and guaranteed a reaction essentially. I think Yadier is primarily responsible for reacting like a roid-raging school boy though.
I think the bat-tap thing was pretty stupid
Not deserving of a suspension, but poor judgment given what he’d just said.
And Yadier could have been mature and laughed it off.

Absolutely
And I get that it’s not only BP’s custom, but others’. Just seems like a really bad idea given the circumstances.
Disagree. Albert did it in the first inning and no one did shit.

I'll bet out of a sense of equity, MLB gives Cueto and Carpenter equal punishments
It’s not fair, but I’ll exchange two missed Cueto starts for two from Carp any day of the week.
No, I didn't mean to imply that the suspension is actully # missed starts
It’s probably 5 or 10 games which will practically result in 2 missed starts.
I hope no one asks a VEB commenter a question in this thread.
Cuz then they’d have to respond and such – but not at all trolling, because they were forced to read the third game thread here today.

All of it. For the most part those are
all first-time actors. With a $20,000 budget I don’t expect great performances — it’s all certainly better than porn flicks for the same budget.
Is the acting the worst part about the film? Yes. But it’s not terrible. I’ve seen mainstream Hollywood flicks with worse acting — try anything Pacino has done in the last decade.

I think that the acting is the worst part of the movie AND is terrible.
But the movie works for me despite this. I don’t judge acting performances on a curve based on budget, but solely on whether I believe the person acting is actually that character that they are portraying. Several times in that flick I am taken out of my suspension of disbelief just by the acting.
So there’s that…FWIW.
I also prefer to see movies that I know nothing about other than the director. And Kevin Smith is one of those directors whom I would blindly trust at the ticket booth. There ain’t many for me…Verhoeven, Spielberg, K-Smith, Tarantino, the Coen Bros., Michael Moore, David Fincher. Martin Brest used to be on this list, but has been expelled.

I’m on the complete opposite here. Now, in Mall Rats and Jay and Silent Bob — I am totally taken out of my suspension of disbelief. I think those are two HORRIBLY acted films.

I agree with you on Coppola. But not Scorsese.
Taxi Driver, Mean Streets, Goodfellas, The Last Temptation of Christ, Gangs of New York are all great movies.
I’m not a big Raging Bull fan (but I appreciate the creativity and choreography of the fight scenes) and his remake of Cape Fear is fun.
Even his movies I don’t like — Kundun, Bringing Out the Dead, The King of Comedy, The Color of Money — are filled with brilliant camera work and creative framing. I don’t think I’ve ever HATED one of his movies strictly because there’s sooo much going on in them.
Even Shutter Island, a predictable meh film, is filled with auteurism that few people living or dead can manage. He’s a damned genius.

Here's my take.
I want to be a Scorsese fan, but his stuff just doesn’t grab me. I wish it did, cuz I feel I’m missing out.
Taxi Driver was slow and boring. I fell asleep during Mean Streets and Casino. I thought Gangs of New York was awful, mostly due to the slow pacing and misplaced selling of Leo as a bad-ass (see above). Raging Bull was slow. King of Comedy – slow.
I like Goodfellas and The Aviator, but both have significant lulls. I truly do like his take on Cape Fear, but too rapey for me (see above). And The Color of Money is a great flick – you actually can relate to the characters in these flicks, as opposed to the others. I guess that’s my take.
I’d never watch New York, New York nor The Age of Innocence, cuz I’m straight.
Other than Peggy Sue Got Married and Tucker, I have no use for Coppola.

See, that's what I love about most
of Scorsese’s characters — especially his ‘70s stuff. It’s slow on purpose — his introspective, self-posessed, dangerous characters, to me, are gripping. Perhaps, and this is not saying anything good for myself, but I understand Scorsese’s fucked up characters.
His films are dripping with guilt and a Catholic conscientiousness that speak very clearly to me.
I agree with you about Leo and I am 100-percent on board with you when you typed this
I’d never watch New York, New York nor The Age of Innocence, cuz I’m straight.
Perhaps its because I have a feeling that my upbringing and my relation to other people are similar to Scorsese’s that I can trully feel engaged with his pictures.

The two things that have me down the most are:
1. We have no pitcher that can match up with a true ace. Cliff Lee envy in full swing.
2. Our offense never seems to step up against the other guys’ ace(s) (and I mean Carpenter and Wainwright…not so much Garcia)
Nice idea bringing in Cordero here...
Need to get him back on the horse after the last couple of outings. Throw him right in against Pujols/Holliday/Rasmus and let’s see how he does.
This series is a total and complete disappointment
I feel like blaming Brandon, though it’s not totally clear the comments and the insane fightingthat resulted raly made us play any worse. This team always plays badly against the Cardinals.
There is one guy to blame for all of this—Hal McCoy! I’m trashing him on his blog
there isn't one
esepcially considering the suspensions that will follow the fight. I just hope these guys have enough pride and talent to get through all of that
...so in the bizarro world that is the Reds...
maybe that means we go on a tear. Honestly, I am grasping at straws here. This team is a riddle.
I just realized
Rhodes got burned without throwing a pitch. He got put in the game then the rain came.
the day off tomorrow couldn't have come at a better time
gives everyone a chance to clear their head and put this behind them
Reds offense this series (through the end of the 8th today)
BP 2 for 14, 0 BB
Janish 1 for 11, 1 BB
Votto 3 for 10, 2 BB
Rolen 0 for 10, 2 BB
Gomes 1 for 7, 1 BB
Bruce 1 for 4, 2 BB
Stubbs 2 for 6, 1 BB
Hanigan 0 for 3, 0 BB
Hernandez 5 for 8, 0 BB
Francisco 1 for 2, 0 BB
Heisey 0 for 4, 0 BB
Edmonds 0 for 5, 1 BB
As far as extra base hits go, there have been two doubles (one each by Votto and Hernandez) plus a Hernandez HR.
Let me write out a formal proof for you.
shameful
terrible display. We did go against 3 great pitchers (Carpenter and Wainwright being the best) but you have to do better than that. The only thing that could ease my suffering from this series is an unbelievable meltdown for the Cardinls against the Cubs
I don't mind it that much
shockingly, maybe it’s just because they are so bad right now. I like their unifroms, so that makes it more tolerable.
I'd like to add
I don’t want to see any more ex Cardinals on our team even if that ex Cardinal is Wainwright or Carpenter.
What I gather from this.
BP. - I love what you said, but shit… can’t you at least back it up?
Janish- Making me miss O-Cab…
Votto- At least someone is here…
Rolen- What the hell?
Gomes- Puts the ‘honey’ in honey badger.
Bruce- I’ll take it.
Stubbs- See Bruce
Hanigan- :/
Hernandez- Well done
Francisco- When are we trading you for Hanley?
Heisey- Sigh
Edmonds- FUCK YOU.

Well, they did score three runs, four runs, and one run.
Not horrible against great pitching, except that the pitching and defense didn’t make the games winnable with that kind of offensive production.
Let me write out a formal proof for you.
But almost three runs per game against good pitching?
That’s not horrible. It’s just not going to make it possible to win anything when the opponents always score at least six runs.

i think its ridiculous how quick people are to jump on the offense. maybe reds fans are spoiled by how good it is and are frustrated when they dont score 10 runs every game

See, this is my problem with not doing everything possible to get Cliff Lee or even oswalt
The Reds have a nice collection of number 3 starters; the Cards have 2 and a half aces. No one goes to the ‘yard and says "Oh no, I’m facing Arroyo tonight" or “Dear Lord, my night’s ruined because Mike Leake is on the hill.” Any and all Reds pitchers are capable of pitching well, but there’s a difference between “competent” and “ace.” This series highlighted that difference.
It also highlighted the importance of attacking rather than defending. Walking Pujols in the 5th? At best, Albert puts you down 2-0 with no one on and 2 outs. And, what is the chance of that? 10%? 20%? I just hate intentional walks in any inning before the 8th.
Oh, and one last thing, sMarty and Cowboy were absolutely convinced that Gomes should have caught Rasmus’s foul ball. Did anyone see it?
Ya don't know how the sun affected it.
Only Gomes knows. He shoulda worn the sombrero.

Come on
We’ve pounded some pretty good pitchers this year. Off the top of my head, Gallardo and Hanson. This was a bad three-game series. That is all.
Come on yourself Ken...
We have consistently sucked against good pitching this year — the level of sucking where you don’t ever feel that you are in the game. THAT kind of sucking. You would expect more from the “best offense in the NL” (statistically). I could go through the schedule, but it is hard to deny the truth of this.
I would like to officially retract the title of my last post...
I am not expecting ken to “come on himself” ;-)
Now you tell me
Seriously, most teams struggle against great pitching. Our offense is pretty good. Maybe not the best in the NL, but in the conversation. You’re letting a bad half-week cloud your judgment.

Well
If the Giants lose tonight we are leading the Wild Card race.
There is that.
I went down today. Probably the worst game I’ve been to, between the rain, the heat, and shitty game.
I am glad the Reds are off tomorrow, and they even have a home off day. After this series they could all probably use a day off away from baseball. I know I do.
I put this series somewhere on par with opening day, in the grand scheme of things, it is only three games, but it just sucks. We have all been looking to this series for a long time, and to get swept just takes the wind right out of our sails. Hopefully the Reds will bounce back like they have been doing all year. Hopefully the Cubs can continue to beat St. Louis.
I’m not at the ledge, but the last 3 days have been tough.
I am thrilled for your success, hell I'm amazed by it. Nobody who knows you saw this coming.
that series was terrible
one of the worst I’ve seen. It did confirm a couple o things, though. Moolina is in fact a little punk, Phillips runs his mouth too much and Votto is the best player we have. And that Carpenter is worse than Zambrano but no one cares.
Finally, some VEB postes are either out of it, or as provocative as they thnk we are,but we don’t banhammer—advantage RR!
Because I don't feel like sorting through the above
I like Ellen Page, Michael Cera in most of his roles, and There Will Be Blood, and dislike how overrated Shawshank is, random intentional spelling errors, and baseball players named after cheese.
