[ochre]

Ok...I've been away for a little bit...can somebody explain to me the nickname 'DERP' for Gomes?

and there is the stupidity of the shift vs. Votto.

Votto takes advantage of the shift, puts a line drive right where the SS normally plays for a base hit.

Phillips follows it up with a first pitch fly ball out. I don't think that strategy is going to work today.

Anybody else see that commercial for the MidWest Eye Center on FSN?

What kind of person would let somebody with a mullet shoot a laser into their eyeball?

Travis is getting the ball up. This is not a good sign. Might be a rough day for him.

3 straight hard hits, all of them just above the belt. Horrible, horrible location.

Big Puma having himself a good year.

And Wood is getting carved.

At the Reds get to play baseball. Tribe can't even get a game in.

 

[scott91575]

Yep, this is going to be ugly. I like Wood, but he cannot miss his spots. He simply doesn't have the stuff to get away with it.

Big Puma having himself a good year.

Berkman's HR numbers have declined every year since 2007. Now, at age 35, he's on pace to match his career high. That Tony LaRussa fitness regimen sure is something.

[jlb1705]

Wow. That's the second AstroTurf bounce we've seen in the last two games. Weird. I didn't like the first one (in front of Rolen yesterday) but I'll take this one.

 

[jlb1705]

LMAO.

I thought I had seen this when it happened live, and this screencap from RZ proves it...

I am watching online with the Cards feed. They laughed about it for a little bit.

 

[jlb1705]

HAHAHAHAHAHA!

How's Chris Carpenter going to explain that to his kids?
