Reds Tidbits (2012 Season)

[schwab]

It's mostly for comedy purposes and self defense. I would take any commentary in this thread with a huge grain of salt.

With that said, this team could win 162 games and I would still be jaded until they actually win the world series. Getting kicked in the nuts for about 2 decades has that effect on some people.

Plus, as a great man once said "let's not all start sucking each others dicks just yet." There is still about 75% of the season to go.

I'm on board. My keyboard failed me if you thought otherwise

This.

Being a bitter, jaded old man in this thread is cathartic.

I lived through 1982 goddamn it. I've seen Danny Driessen be our best hitter, Jimmy Haynes&Anderson be two of our best pitchers and watched Boone/Narron/Miley manage.

I'll bitch if I want to.

I'm not old enough to be as bitter as Jax..

so that's why he comes up with better lines than I do

I remember when Jimmy Haynes came up with the Orioles and was supposedly the next mussina....and when Jeffery Hammonds was the next Griffey Jr.....

I was living in Rochester when the O's drafted Ben McDonald.

Watching Latos warm up (free MLBtv game today by the way) has his wife gotten naked yet?

 

[Jaxbuck]

Carlos Bichette heads back to the dugout reminding himself they are due to go back to Coors sooner or later.

1-2-3 for Latos.

There was some hate in that swing from Votto.

HR

There was some hate in that swing from Votto.

HR

That pitch was so slow that Votto took two steps forward in the box before getting back in his stance and cranking it out.

 

[Jaxbuck]

If you didn't see it watch the replay of that HR when you get a chance.

You don't see it very often but he did a full soft ball style shuffle step forward then swing.

Tulowitski hits a hanging breaking ball

its hot, humid and the park is small

1-1

 

[jlb1705]

Yes, Thom - please remind us about that Josh Hamilton guy again.

Who?

 

[jlb1705]

I don't care if Cozart isn't a top shortstop or isn't in consideration for ROY. The guy just gets shit done.

 

[Jaxbuck]

Bruce hits one wicked haad

2-1
