Votto should be happy the first and second spots aren't occupied by Patterson and Freel, otherwise he'd have 30 RBI instead of 70jlb1705;1739759; said:

I wish the braintrust that ran the team during the majority of the 2000's had the honesty to look at this year and realize what could have been.
2010's offense isn't much different than a lot of those teams but, just like people tried to point out back then, when you have even an average pitching staff to go with one of the NL's best offenses you can win.
Once you win people will spend money to come watch. You make more money, you get better players, you win more. Lather rinse repeat.
Instead Uncle Carl decided to try and run it on the cheap and put the worst pitching staff in the NL out there year in and year out. They didn't win shit and we got to listen to Marty and the banana phone army blame it on the offense.
I am enjoying this year but I can't help think of this every now and then. There was no need for the lost decade.

Cowboy just said in the pregame you couldn't get a ticket to this series if you had a million dollars.
Umm, yeah Jeff you could. Of course you'd have to choose between that and doing 2 chicks at the same time but I digress.

Jeff Brantley when asked what one thing he'd like to do he has never done:
"Water ski....(long pause)....behind a boat"
no fucking shit? You don't want to try water skiing behind a hot dog cart?

Listening to it at work; when I heard it, I couldn't think of what the alternative would be...

Did Bruce really think we was gonna get a 1st pitch fastball after what Votto just did?
