Why can't these guys figure out the whole triple crown in a year of a pitcher relationship?
Shitty hitters aren’t competing with elite hitters because pitching is better than usual. It’s easy.
Exception that proves the rule?

that was suppose to have a question mark
i am listening to the game, so i assumed it was a hit and run.
Joey Votto is my MVP.
ye gods
That was really botched.
WTF was Dusty thinking calling that? With Votto at the plate, you’re calling a hit and run? With Slo-Cab as the runner?
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
Except that you know they're likely to give him a pitch out of the strike zone
and if he’s swinging at it for the hit and run then yes, there’s a decent chance he’ll strike out.
Let me write out a formal proof for you.
Yes, except that his swing looked like a hit and run swing
and if you tell him to swing to protect the runner, you turn a walk into a K.
Let me write out a formal proof for you.
well, yeah i get that point
it’s tough not to swing in a hit and run without an obvious ball coming in
but it’s joeh! he’s the best hitter in the land!
even with an obvious ball
You gotta swing, or the runner will be hung out to dry.
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
didn't realize it was 3-2
Was it really a hit and run? Seems like an odd situation for it.
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
The way he swung at such a bad pitch made it seem like it was
which, yeah, would have been stupid.
Let me write out a formal proof for you.
more like a run and hit, maybe?
The pitch didn’t look that bad on Gameday
Well, it didn’t look like a strike, but this ump has been calling balls like that strikes all day.
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
Cabbie actually avoided the tag and was safe
but whatever with these umps. At this point …I don’t know
I know, his back foot got the bag
it looked like the tag was meant for the front leg, which wasn’t at the bag. That’s what it looked like to me
if you say so
since you’re a Reds fan I will believe you. Unless you’re one of the Tubby haters!…Are you?
yeah, pretty sure he was out.

Looking at the wrap, the only time the Cardinals were even tied for as many tweets as the Reds was after the second inning. Whole rest of the game, the Reds were loud and proud. Who’s got the best fans now?

I heard that they fixed his mechanics a bit

you know what is nice
The Reds will sweep with 5-10 games left in the season. They can give their key players a blow, they can give their starting pitchers some short games at say 85 or 90 pitches, and they can set their rotation for the playoffs.
My guess is the rotation goes:
Arroyo
Cueto
Wood
Bailey
Joey Votto is my MVP.
Justin-English Dictionary guesses:
sweep=clinch
blow=break
That being said, this is a most excellent thought.

IL West
is apparently going down to the wire.
Bats’ magic number is one, but they’re losing tonight. Division rival Columbus is also losing. WC rival Syracuse is tied in the 5th.
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
I think the Bats clinched a playoff spot tonight
Rochester hung a 6-spot on Syracuse in the 7th tonight, so instead of winning, they lost, 8-2. I think that puts the wild card out of their reach.
Both the Bats and Clippers lost tonight, so the Bats remain half a game back. They could still win the division.

if you were given $4,000 to spend on your department at school, would you spend the balk of it on the annual conference or would you buy a Roman Chariot for the department Halloween party?

you can attend some other university’s conference, but a Roman chariot would make your department unique!
plus i know one TA that intends to get a trident and attack his students from the chariot
i seem to have my fellow students support on this, but I feel like the graduate program director might press charges of gross criminal negligence.

I heard
through the grapevine somewhere that I will not name that the Reds got lucky yet again today and laid a much deserved beat down on some team from someplace that I don’t care very much for and occasionally like to poke fun of, expecially this season. That kicks major ass.
I’m also a bit sauced as I went to opening day for some University in Iowa that has been a perennial whipping boy for another unnamed University in Ohio that everyone assumes will win the Big Ten again this year. Although how you can get 10 from 11 or even 12 is even beyond me.
Of course, I also disagree with that prediction if that makes any semblance of sense.
It made sense to me!
I’m a really, really big fan of a University in Iowa (I’ll let you try and guess which one) and I really despise a certain University in Ohio too, and considering a particular University in Iowa took an unnamed University in Ohio into overtime last year with a quarterback starting his first ever college game, I think said University somewhere in Iowa might surprise another University in Ohio this year.
And I’m totally jealous you went to the game. My parents and sister were there, but I couldn’t drive back.

I coach high school basketball in Cincinnati
our best player and starting PG from last season is on a full ride playing defensive back for Iowa. He made a tackle today. I am planning on coming out for a visit within the next month or so.
Oh, and the 10 with 11 or 12 thing bothers me too
How about we just forget the numbers and call it the “Awesome Conference?” Just an idea.
by Hawkeyegirl96 on Sep 5, 2010 12:46 AM EDT up reply actions
right, so
the Big 12 now has 10 teams, and the Big 10 has 12 teams. Got it.
I’m hopin’ they rename it the Pacific Athletic Conference, and stick with PAC, no number.

I believe this is my favorite quote from that thread-A VEWLB-er came over and posted it about the Cards schedule
That’s pretty fluffy, especially since the Giants series is at home. I don’t think it’s unrealistic to expect that the Cardinals will win 2/3 of those games. The schedule is clearly as close to a cakewalk as you could ask for.
Hmm. The Cardinals played 18 games in between the two series with the Reds. They won 5 games and lost 13. I’ve never claimed to be good at math, but I don’t think that 5/18 is close to 2/3.

that game was spectacular
and I feel really good about Travis Wood. He had the game any pitcher would kill for and he managed it in front of his family. He also got the Fox game of the week player of the game. I hope this is a sign of things to come for Wood, he pitched like Cliff Lee and also hit a home run!
I can’t finish the discussion of the picthign withpout mentioning that Chapman was amazgin again. He sturck out Jay twice accoridng to gameday, but Jay still got the walk and then he had to face Pujols. When he fell behind 2-1 I thought Chapman was in trouble, but the look on his face said he wasn’t worried. I know it could have ended very differently than it did (a double play was perfect), but I loved Chapman’s confidence and poise in a very difficult situation.
As for the offense they did a nice job. Seeing Votto get that RBI single off of Reyes just iced the cake.
I know I have a bit of a rep for being cycnical or not very optimistic. I can be that way, I admit, mainly I just like to be cautious, but this win felt very good. I really thought we needed to win at least one win here, the guys got it and I feel much better about this series. They can beat great pitching as long as they play like they always play and try to let go oof the extraneous stuff. I think that the whole rivalry thing, while some say it is “good for baseball” is not very good for the Reds.

Amazing quote from Wood
“I don’t like losing one game, much less four in a row,” he said. “I won’t lose again.”
So does this mean this month? This year? Ever? Yeah I am going to take this as ever. Its pretty cool how he is never losing another game.
I think Wainwright said that, not Wood
But still funny.

If he wants it
he needs to hit some taters. Don’t know if I want him changing his swing to get the TC

The TC would of course be awesome
But really as long as Joey keeps the RBI lead and maintains an over .320 BA I’ll take it. Plus I think that would still make him the sure MVP unless the Rockies somehow win the west and Gonzalez keeps raking.
