I knew Votto would break out of his mini-slump soon!
"There is no such thing as an innocent Gatorade cooler."
and by "mini-slump"
I mean hitting .310 instead of .325 and hitting HRs every 20 ABs instead of every 15.
I love that man.

I wonder if Heisey realizes...
that he’s the only non-pitcher the Reds have to not get on base so far this game.
No lie, right before that pitch, I saw where the catcher was set up and thought "he better be careful, Votto will jack that out again"
see what I did there with uzr? it’s like a LOL cats saber-pun combo.--Verka Serduchka
I haven't seen a chart in awhile of his HRs...
but his oppy power is legit. I wonder when people will go back to busting him inside.
Man, that one looked like it went a long way
The other way, too.

Joey is all man - even if he may be gay.
Is there another hitter who hits with such authority to the opposite field and with such power?
If a guy hits .300 every year, what does he have to look forward to? I always tried to stay around .190, with three or four RBI. And I tried to get them all in September. That way I always had something to talk about during the winter.

I know you're trying to be funny, but your subject line really annoys me.
Let me write out a formal proof for you.
Well I actually could care less if Joey's gay,transgendered or an alien.
It would be pretty cool for the gay community to have a guy like Votto on their team though,

Ryan Howard certainly has that kind of oppy field power...
Jim Edmonds in his heyday. Piazza in his heyday (from the right side of course). Pujols…though he seems to be more straightaway center to left center.
I was in the left field bleachers when Howard
hit two bombs late in a game to beat the Reds

I figured something out last night re: The Brennemans...
They VERY SELDOM give any credit to the other team’s players. If they get us out, they immediately go into a tone of voice that screams, “I knew they were gonna blow it again.” They’ll often spout, “another wasted at-bat,” but seldom will they say, “Wow, that was a nasty pitch by Lincecum. You can’t fault Gomes there – that pitch had some serious hair on it.”
Not everything the Reds don’t succeed at in that sample size of one can be reasonably called a failure. These folks haven’t ever learned that.
Am I wrong?

If a guy hits .300 every year, what does he have to look forward to? I always tried to stay around .190, with three or four RBI. And I tried to get them all in September. That way I always had something to talk about during the winter.

See, it’s a play on the lyrics to “Back in the U.S.S.R.” by the Beatles. The actual line is “Let me hear your balalaikas ringing out.” (A balalaika is a Russian stringed instrument) I made a portmanteau of the two words. That’s called humor, folks. That joke is very, very funny.
Also, jokes get funnier the more you explain them. I can go into this in more detail, if you’d like.

They aren’t bugs. Their name was also a play on words – it sounds like “beetles,” but instead spelled with an a, to echo the fact that their music has a really catchy beat!

I'd be crying by the end of it, that's for sure.

2nd place
If we can hang on and win this we will have tied the Braves for 2nd best record in the NL.
I assume he means second best record in the NL.

You have your divisions and then you seed based on records for the postseason. I’m optimistically looking ahead. Is that not allowed?

"There is no such thing as an innocent Gatorade cooler."

we’d still be behind the Braves. They have 53 losses, we have 54 (assuming we hang on).

No
We would have identical 73-54 records. Although at this point, it may not matter as SF appears to be unstoppable now.
Rockies Cardinal the Braves.
