Reds are clinging to a now 5-4 lead. Replays indicate that Spilborghs was out at the plate, but that's why umpires are assholes.

Seriously, why are these announcers so excited about the Rockies?

don't think just broadcast one or the other of the teams?
usually home

from what we've gathered
this is actually the MLB feed.

But I thought it was just a rebroadcast of the home team feed.
I thought I caught Welsh on there once, during one of their 10 minute previews.

I promise you, kids.
You’d see the same stuff we see on FSOhio brodcasts, except it would be FS Rocky Mountain (I think that’s who they are). Not mlb.com on the screen.

These announcers are definitely pro-Rockies
They called Carlos Gonzalez the most electric bat in baseball
He's the most ohfer bat in this game
And time to ground into a double play. See how those fuckers like it.
I hope he falls down and hurts himself, but CARGO is a pretty hoss nickname.

First thing, Chapman probably should get some more work starting an inning before he comes in in these situations
second, and I don’t know how many fucking times you have to let it happen before you correct it, but Ondrusek is a one inning guy right now, period.
This is Epic.

It was a routine fly ball
And then it carried all the way to the track. This park is ridiculous. But not ridiculous enough to ACTUALLY be a home run for us.

I know there was some bad pitching, lack of execution.
But you can at least chalk that up to a good faith effort. Being totally hamstrung with three outfelders so that you’re hitting Logan Ondrusek, not double-switching out Heisey and then pitching him a second inning when you’re supposed to have more pitchers than you know what to do with is inexcusable.

I’ve been getting texts from a friend who’s also a Red’s fan. You’d think we were the ones 5.5 back. A sample: “This road trip will fuck these guys heads up. They are done.” At this point I bet him $20 they make the playoffs. “No way they are fucked! Even if they do its 3 and out no doubt. Sickening to watch shit like this. They piss games away like this and play flat and all while in a pennant race. They’re done”
This is at least the third time our season was over. After the ATL meltdown, after losing 4 heart breakers in Philly. And now this 5-game skid. The team has bounced back. We don’t have to be world-beaters to win the division.
We. Are. Fine.

Naw, the Dodgers and Mets are shit
the Marlins are the only worrisome club, if only because they are playing way under their talent level. The Dodgers bullpen is fucking awful and their starting rotation has no anchor. Their offense should be good, but Ethier is streaky and Matt Kemp and James Loney disappear for weeks at a time. The Mets are actually playing TO their talent level. Everyone outside of Angel Pagan is pretty much shit and Johan Santana and R.A. Dickey can’t buy a bucket from their bullpen. Oh, and Mike Pelfrey sucks.

I don't care about that
I just get tired of SEC fans. They forget one school basically dominated that league (similar to OSU/UM) for a long time.

yeah, they dominated under Bryant.
and since 1980, Alabama, Georgia, Florida, LSU, Auburn, and Tennesse have won or shared a national championship.
Thats a bit different.

Remember when Nick Cage beat those guys to death at the beginning of Con Air?
This series was kinda like that.

Well that officially qualifies as the Reds
worst series ever.

meh, that Phillies series was worse for me
and not only because I was at the Travis Wood game

That was tough.
Atlanta was tough. Seattle was tough. Colorado was tough. In a 162 game season, losing streaks are to be expected. We have our next 7 with Pittsburgh and Arizona, at home. Bruce may be returning soon. We have a 5.5 game lead.
Step off the ledge, Reds fans. It’s September and you have a first place teaml; enjoy it!

True dat DocRam, true dat
More games to play and we have a bit of a cushion. We just gotta keep playing, one game at a time.

I liked that Phillie series.
Every game was a nail-biter, and only through luck did we not win 2 or 3 of those.

Are you kidding me?
Glad I missed this one. We blew a frickin 5 run lead? Pathetic. Absolutely pathetic.
"People don't kill people. Burning oreo packages kill people."
Ehh.
Could have been a 6-run lead in the bottom of the 9th. Cards still suck. We’re fine.

The Rox didn’t win this one, the Reds lost it. Demoralizing, for sure.

holy ballsmashing kickinthenuts. this fucking sucks.
At least I’ve now got Fantasy Football to dually drive me insane. These Reds are about to drive me up the fucking wall.
5 run lead, Wood on the mound, and this is what happened….yeeesh.
Oh yeah, Go Hurricanes!

nope, unreadable disc syndrome
I’ve tired of working on it for today.
I stuck a fucking envelope in the thing trying to fix it.

A solution that worked for me for a little bit
is to press somewhat firmly on top of the console (laying horizontally) while the disc is reading, right after the tray closes. It works for a little bit, though it may take a few tries. It kind of stopped working for me, though, so I’ve made sure not to change games or eject the tray since then.
That’s OK, though. I’m too poor to afford any new discs, anyway.

thanks, but I'm pretty sure its my FIFA disc.
I’ve gotten dvd’s to play, so it’s not the laser I don’t think.

by Kevin Mitchell is Batman on Sep 9, 2010 7:06 PM EDT up reply actions
Oh, OK
That’s a better sign – a lot cheaper to replace a disc than the whole drive. Mine wouldn’t play any discs, so I’ve been stuck with Modern Warfare 2 for a while – and it may be like that for a long time. No money to fix it, warranty has expired, and I’ve been focusing on some other hobbies.
by manichedgehog on Sep 9, 2010 7:08 PM EDT up reply actions
Yeah, I came across that while researching.
What sucks is that it’s FIFA ’10, and ’11 comes out in a month…so do I wait a month sans gaming for the new one, or buy used for that month?

Rent FIFA '10 until '11 hits the shelves. :)

I waited a while to post
butI still feel ike crap about this loss. 5 in a row? There was a total collpase this series. Grounded into numerous inning ending double plyas, bad pitching, bad defense and just general lack of quality at bats. I hope we can set thigns right against Pittsburgh, but this team sacres me alot right now.
The Reds are tired, I'm sure
BP is pressing and is coming back from a hand injury. The club insists, for whatever reason, on carrying only three outfielders, none of whom have ever been everyday guys. The pitching is just hitting a hot team that plays like gangbusters in its own ballpark – it happens. Rolen is slumping, and Cabrera is just getting back from injury. We all had a feeling this series would be bad.
When they come back for Pitt, though, Dorn or someone had better be up here, and I wouldn’t mind seeing Valaika get a start or two to get BP away from the bats for a little bit.
