Reds Tidbits (2008 season)

3-0 Cards. Game over.

Any thoughts of a sustained winning streak gone, this team lacks the charachter, defense or brains to come back on anyone.

Tear it down Walt, make it yours.

That first inning was a joke...

I think what happened, was Kepp was thinking that if Patterson ran back to the bag at third, then they would have to run him back to second and that would give Phillips time to get to 2nd...And Patterson did raise his hand and kinda motion it looked like and then he ran off towards the dugout...

But that was just ridiculous, and then Cueto couldn't locate his fastball, but I am not ready to give this game up yet...Pineiro is walking us quite a bit, and with a couple big hits and we will be right back into it...

Edit: we are back to our ways of leaving guys on base...1 and 2 no out in the first, no runs, and 1 and 2 1 out in the second and no runs...

C. Trent reports on post firing interview with WK from Lance McCallister's show today.

Always interesting to hear what guys have to say after they leave. It's obvious that Dusty went over his head to get Patterson and WK was given the order by Bob C to get him no matter the cost (and Boros knew it). Homer and Bruce are still in AAA due to needing to work on the mental game/mechanical things or what some of us call the "little things." Says Homer needs to be quicker to the plate and Bruce needs to work on base running. Says Bruce is a right fielder (he can play all 3 positions but his position is RF). What does that say about Griffey's future? Hatte was a great mentor to Bruce and Votto in spring training.

Not in this interview, but I heard C. Trent say yesterday that WK left with class. He actually took the time to thank the cooks in the staff cafeteria. Say what you will about his ability to assemble a winning team, but it is nice to know that he's a quality guy.

Oh and just for fun, they play the classic Lee Elia Cubs rant at the end of the interview in honor of its 25th anniversary.

aaaand they are at it again.

Top 1 runners on 2nd and 3rd. BP hits a grounder to 3B, CP gets caught in a rundown but does his job and lets Kepp get to third. Except Kepp takes back off for 2nd base for some reason and gets in a rundown of his own.

First two hitters reach and we get a big fat fucking zero because of a double rundown/pickoff. :shake: I mean seriously, who the fuck else does this ever happen to? I never see us do it to the other team, thats for sure.

The Cards get their first two runners on and promptly score 2 runs.

I fucking hate this team.

All this, and the cluster-fuck of a 2nd inning hadn't even happened yet.

Uh, yeah. I've tried to limit my negativity thus far this season, but....

Seriously, Dunn. What the donkey-fucking, cat-raping, horseshit, piece of absolute fucking monkey crap was that! You've got to be fucking kidding me. You've GOT to be fucking kidding me. My fucking 3-year old niece can throw a fucking ball. Hell, my stupid fucking inbred 3-legged cat can carry a golf ball in her mouth. She could probably roll it to home plate. The old throw it behind your head trick never fucking works. Jesus. I just can't believe this shit. I just can't believe it. It's not even funny. Congrats on making SportsCenter's stupiedst fucking plays of the day.

Fucking shit.

I think I've gotten it out of my system....for now.


Fucking ass-clowns.


Fuck, fuck, bitch, shit, fucking goat fuckers.

Tell me that Earl Weaver one is real, no fucking way.

Regardless thats some funny shit.

I still like Elia going off on the three thousand unemployed cocksuckers at the ballpark giving his players a hard time. You just don't get stuff like that in the PC world we live in now.

I've never been able to get the back story on that Weaver thing. It sounds to me like he just wanted to fuck with the guy doing the show. Still, it is a riot. I nearly pissed myself the first time I heard it. McRae was just fucking nuts.

so whats the score with our curse of a ballclub?

I turned it off after the first.

Really? You missed the worst of it, then. Lucky son of a bitch.

7-0, bottom of the 4th. And that's despite Pujols being 0-3.

Appears it was Weaver just fucking around with the host, it never aired.
