Sappelt had 0 confidence in that at-bat
The season doesn't start until the Cincinnati Reds take the field! Reclaim The Opener!!
He should be taken out of the game today
but not sent down like some idiots think
Cingrani for 2012 Closer!
This idiot doesn't think he's ready for the bigs.

Yeah, I don't know the real story, but this is what they said:
As you might know by now, Peter Buck injured his back a month ago and is going to be out for our summer touring season.
Still not a candidate.
Hmm
It’d be better with Buck. But I think I still might want to see them.

I know, right? She is absolutely smoking hot

i've never heard anyone say a bad thing about her looks
she may be the most universally liked girl I can think of
The only thing I would say is that she needs to #CleanItUp
"Wait, you think I'm being mean to the pretend orangutan?" -- battlekow
Her problem is...
she doesn’t do anything. I can’t remember the last time I saw her on TV or a movie. She just does a semi-annual photo shoot with some low end “hip hop” magazine and we all salivate.
Well yeah...

Jennifer Tilly is an exception to that rule.
But still, I believe that are hot women in the 40-50 range. I never said there weren’t. But nobody has given a hot 60+ year old yet.

if there is a 66 year-old hot woman, her mind is the only thing left that’s 66.

Dusty on Homer, via teh fay
One bad pitch can ruin your whole night.
That was the case with Homer Bailey. Shane Victorino hit first-pitch curveball out for the two-run home run in the eighth, lifting the Phillies to a 3-2 win.
"Homer threw the ball great," Reds manager Dusty Baker said. "He was sharp as I’ve seen him from the first pitch to the end — other than that one pitch. When you’re playing against a team that has the pitching they have and is accustom to playing low-scoring close games, one pitch can make the difference.

All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
it was a bogus hit
and it doesn’t show that he should hit in front of Votto. That’s like putting a porta potty on ocean front property

Including, sadly, the aforementioned Mr. Votto.

small sample size and all
But Votto doesn’t have good numbers against Cole. Before tonight, he was 2-for-12, .167 against Cole. Among the worst on the team. And that includes Cairo, Janish, and Lewis.

didn't Votto GIDP
against Hamels to end the playoffs? Definitely more salt in the wound to go with the HBP GIF
God, why do you have that bit of information at the ready?
Purge those memories, Poodle!

I know, I know
it was just being there tonight, seeing him bat vs Hamels, I had flashbacks. We need to do some memory replacement.
Hamels is supposed to be tougher against righties than lefties
But he’s been pretty tough against Joey. (Jay has has more success. He’s hit a couple of homers off Hamels.)
It’s ridiculous how good the Phillies rotation is. Hamels would be the ace on most other teams. He’s the number three guy in Philly.
I really thought tonight would be our best chance to win one. Homer was dealing, and we got to the pen early because Hamels is just off the DL. Alas.

yeah that killed me
when Homer gave up the homer. I knew we’d struggle to score 3 more runs. Overall, Homer pitched beautifully.
Votto did have an RBI groundout
but the rest of his night was pretty bad, and I guess an RBI groundout isn’t ideal either
hmm...
I vote Disturbia.
Tequila and pancakes, anyone?

Hysteria, barely
I have a soft spot for Photograph though, so it’s close enough that I had to think about it
