Reds Tidbits (2008 season)

[jlb1705]

Matt Capps career vs. Cincy: 4 saves, 5 blown saves.

The Reds can't hit their way out of a paper sack against their LHPs, but at least they own the closer.

I was going to give him shit for getting put out, but that was a great hustle play by Wilson.

Agreed. I have no problem with the baserunning there. I thought he'd get to second easily.

Weathers in to pitch the 11th...

Keystone cops in the OF... again. Doh! I might get to bed at a decent hour after all.

 

[jlb1705]

:(

Weathers is about to pitch for cycle...

Weathers in to pitch the 11th...

Oh lord.

Weathers is about to pitch for cycle...

The same thing popped into my head :( and to the first 4 hitters of the inning nonetheless.

 

[jlb1705]

Hairston continues to pull his weight and then some.

Corey Patterson's up, so this one'll be over in about... 5 seconds.

Edit: he took the first two pitches. They should award the Reds the game just on that basis

 

[CookyPuss]

Patterson... please walk.

 

[bucknutz]

Patterson just needs to leave the bat on his shoulder.

 

[jlb1705]

Patterson gave us a professional at-bat, but his suckitude prevails anyway. Reds lose.

 

[bucknutz]

patterson to Baker: look coach I touched the ball with the bat.

Baker to Patterson: I know son, one day you will get another hit.

 

[crazybuckfan40]

These are the games that drive me crazy...

Games we should win, if we just had our head out of our ass...

Bad news for the Reds. They better be ahead at the end of eight innings tonight because the Pirates' "closer" Matt Capps has gone on the DL, presumably with an acute case of "Danny Graves-itis".

After seeing this and Josh Fogg and others like it, it really makes you wonder who's toughing it out until it starts to affect the rest of the team, and who just needs an excuse.
