Reds Tidbits (2012 Season)

Congrats Homer, you now suck against every team in MLB.

Yeah, I went to the game tonight on a whim. Figured Homer versus Pittsburgh was a lead pipe cinch.

I left after seven innings. I never leave games early, but I only spent seven bucks to get in the gate and that shit was long since hopeless. It was fucking interminable. Shit pitchers always SLOW WAY DOWN every time a runner gets on base, so it turned into something like one of those never-ending American League games with they way Homer & crew were getting lit up.

I have come to understand part of why Drew Stubbs is such a limpwristed pantywaist with a bat in his hands. It's that middle-of-the-road shitkicker music he has for his walkup. He is no doubt listening to that shit non-stop on his iPod and in his car too. He listens to the kind of music that makes people think that their wives are always right and maybe they should pick up some flowers for her on the way home "just because". That's not to say it's the music that's making him that way, it's just another manifestation of who he really is. Contrast that with Joey Votto - his walkup music is "Paint It, Black", one of that baddest and most savage songs of all time. That's music that makes you ready to punish shitty pitchers and fuck hot bitches. Drew Stubbs probably doesn't like that song.

Finally, Mike Costanzo... I'll make him a promise: When he is inexplicably put in the game with two outs and runners on base, if he could find it in him to get hit by a pitch so that someone else can get a chance after him, I'll take back every bad thing I've said about him. I'm not asking for a hit, or even a walk. Just don't get out the way of the ball (and don't fucking swing at it either. I wouldn't put it past him to swing at a pitch that hits him in the backside.)

Last night was the first night in a while I could actually sit down and watch a baseball game. By the middle of the 3rd inning, and an hour later, I'm content with not watching another game until the playoffs. Baseball is just so slow paced, even worse when 90% of your team blows donkey balls.

Finally the Reds push through on Lincoln's garbage. The guy has 2 pitches, and cannot even locate the curveball. That leaves a 4 seam fastball around 92 mph which he throws about 80% of the time. How this guy has a good ERA coming into this game baffles me. I know he was a relief guy, but still he has nothing special.

and after a walk to cozart, Heisey pops up on 1st pitch...I thought that was Stubbs batting for a second..what's with batters in the 2 spot that makes them dumb as rocks?

So..

Votto
BP
Bruce
Frazier
Ludwick
Hanigan
Cueto
Cozart

all batted in 4th, only 1 Struck out...care to take a guess which one of the shitstains struck out?

It was still better than his first K where he looked at 3 fastballs right down the middle of the plate.

I am starting to think Bruce has drug or alcohol issues or something. It's the only way I can figure out how he can look like an all star 1 game and complete garbage the next.
