Whatever that is, that doesn’t sound like a compliment. Though it does sound better than when Pokey Reese said that you could tell Jim Bowden was lying because his lips were moving.
Btw, I hereby submit the motion that Y-City Jim should submit the lineup with the nicknames each night, because that’s hysterical. “Why Am I Batting Below Cabrera.” Haha.
Patterson – .184 BA – I hope he doesn’t have suicidal tendencies.

I won’t be able tomorrow night because I will be out of Internet range until late. Actually, my next idea is a blue album concept since we are feeling the Cincinnati Reds blues. Players will have their own personalized blues song title.
K-Patt, your batting average has dipped to .184 after all-too-predictable outs in your first 2 at-bats tonight. This is really some kind of achievement.
And remember, it’s oh so much more than just a batting average. On Base Percentage is, I think, now .218, and OPS of .543. I bow in amazement.
It never ceases to amaze me how bad this team really sucks, how pathetic they have become. Their record may be better at this point than last year but I guarantee it will be about the same as last year. This is so sad
I wish I were listening to Marty B. at this time, I know he’s negative but he really does understand (probably more than I) the frustration of this team. I’m more frustrated this year I think because I know the potential talent is there but they just screw it up.
I don’t know if they as much lifeless as they are unfocused. They seem to lose focus like when Arroyo did in the 5th with two outs and two strikes on Tejada.
I think I’m going to stop paying attention to the game and just log on here. That way I maximize the sarcasm without having to suffer with each run scored by the other teams.
Ya know, when they could at least lose in close games it was interesting to watch. Now it’s just blowouts fairly early in the game.The least they could do is lose with some style.

I’m leading off!!
Both the thread and the lineup!!
Will the good guys ever win again?
———–
Not with Dusty Baker at the helm.
Brian Moehler is still around?
Seriously?
Castellini quote:
On deals being discussed with Walt Jocketty: “Walt can talk to me forever and not say a thing.”
What the heck does that mean?
Tonight’s starting line-up:

Patterson must be leading off for sheer entertainment value. There’s nothing else left.
Great nicknames, Jim.
And does Castellini’s presence at tonight’s game mean there is a deal imminent.
I’m sitting on my deck, listening to Marty, watching the kids play in the back yard. If the Reds didn’t stink, this would be a perfect evening.
Forget what I just wrote. Brantley just started announcing. The evening just took a turn for the worse.
Leadoff 2B for Votto. Why is he hitting below Cabrera, indeed?
Arroyo RBI?
Then our “leadoff hitter” Patterson comes up, “swings at a changeup and he missed that one by about a foot,” according to Brantley.
Patterson grounded out. what’s his BA now?
Patterson – .184 BA – I hope he doesn’t have suicidal tendencies.

Somebody make Tejada take a pee test.

mhopp – does somebody need a hug?
Seriously though I understand the frustration.

There is one word that describes this team “Lifeless”
This game is too much of the usual.
Aaron Harang’s beard is exceptionally rugged. I think he’d be able to edge out Casey Blake in a beard-off.
I don’t know if they as much lifeless as they are unfocused. They seem to lose focus like when Arroyo did in the 5th with two outs and two strikes on Tejada.
Blake will have to lose that beard in LA. It just isn’t Hollywood-like.
I think I’m going to stop paying attention to the game and just log on here. That way I maximize the sarcasm without having to suffer with each run scored by the other teams.
Moehler – 77 pitches through 7 innings. No BB by Reds hitters.
As Welch pointed out, this is an overly aggressive bunch of swingers, which I blame on Baker and his sidekick, Jacoby.
DevilsAdvocate – Did you like that at-bat? It took six pitches for me to K.
This overly aggressive approach seems to be more prevalent recently. What could have triggered it at this point of the season?
Ya know, when they could at least lose in close games it was interesting to watch. Now it’s just blowouts fairly early in the game.The least they could do is lose with some style.
Jim I’ll try to step up tomorrow night with a lineup if you’re not around…but if I forget maybe Chad or someone else can give us a lineup.
Why do we make fun of this team? Because it beats banging our heads against the wall.
Patterson a whopping 12 for his last 98. That’s hot.
Hey, at least I’m not out there clogging the bases.
