He and I may well be tumbling over the section 421 overhang here in a minute. Look for the guy doing a rear naked choke on a tub of guts as they both plummet to their doom – that’ll be me. I’ve had it.
Okay, crisis temporarily averted. That lump took a call (speakerphone, natch), and just took off, with a boast to his pals that he was “getting the hookup” with Diamond Club seats.
Just finished watching Virginia blow a NCAA Super Regional game. Allowed Ole Miss to score in the bottom of the ninth to tie the game (tying runner reached on E4), then a 12th inning walkoff homer. Frustrating. Virginia led the entire game until there was one out in the ninth.
The crowd isn’t noticably pro-Cub. Mostly a bunch of drunks not paying any attention to the game but having a good time … so essentially a Wrigley crowd.
I find it ironic that Welsh is somewhat complaining about Soriano’s OBP as a leadoff man when the Reds have Willy Taveras. Throw in some complaints about him, too, please, Chris.
You know I must say that there are quite a few pitchers that have come to the Reds in the last few years who have done better than where they were before. Guess the pitching coaching isn’t too bad…where did this Nick Massett and Auther Rhodes come from? ERA’s below 1.0 ??
When I left to go dine with family and friends, I had the radio broadcast on. If I was a new fan to the Reds and heard the putrid negativity coming from Marty Brennaman night after night, I would switch teams. I think the man needs counseling. He was running on Owings big time, and Owings had a decent night especially for being the no. 5 starter.
Based on the limited number of games they have played this season, Taveras has a RF of 3.00 and Dickerson a RF of 2.33 but would the number of games Dickerson has played in LF naturally reduce his RF since the CF takes charge?

Must. Crush. Zambrano.
could the best hitters be batting 9th for both teams ?
Greetings from section 421. Cub fans slightly outnumbering Reds. Keith Urban fans outnumber both.
Welsh awarding the Harvey Haddix Award as I type.
Beautiful night for baseball. Let’s hope they get to Big Z early and get in his head.
Ahh, I love me some 400 section. Enjoy, Chris. Stupid Cubs fans…
Weird, FS Ohio is doing telecast from the top of the Riverboat.
Owings vrs Zambrano…I’m not felling good about this.
Yeah, the pitching matchups dont bode well for our Battling Redlegs this weekend.
Cubs suck.
I’ll be back after some dining with family and friends.
I won’t be chiming in much tonight, but “stupid Cubs” needs to be said at least one more time!
George Grande is out on top of the riverboat?
My kid is already squirming and rubbing his eyes. I may be in the car by the 5th inning.
I haven’t been able to criticize Dusty too much this year, but the flipping of Hairston and Dickerson makes no sense at all.
Just tuned in…no surprises so far :poke:
Owings is aiming it. And taking a million years between pitches, at least until Pole woke up and came out.
Yep, GG and Welsh along with “hep hep, Daddy Wags” and “isnt that right, Jessie? hep hep” are on the top of the riverboat tonight.
Owings is getting seriously squeezed. He should have been out of this one early. Hope Z gets the same strike zone.
Kid is safely strapped into a baby bjorn (attached to his mother). I can relax and enjoy a bunch of little dudes swing for the fences.
Can’t really tell if Z is going to be squeezed. He is blowing it by guys down the middle and they are swinging at everything off the plate.
Would love to see Z lose it on some bad calls.
Better 2nd inning than 1st that’s fo sho
Marty talking about Reds possibly taking Alex White in the draft…what you think? He went to my church, never met him but my pastor knows him well.
Owings has settled in. Rough first innings are not unusual for him. I like having Nix bat cleanup.
at least they’re making Z work 50 pitches through 2.2 ip
Jumbotron showed GG and Welsh on the kiss cam.
Meanwhile, I’m sitting next to a fat, drunk, idiot who leeps elbowing me and talking like he’s some sort of ladies’ man.
I’m watching the game in HD in my air conditioned house. Keep us updated on the fat drunk guy.
He and I may well be tumbling over the section 421 overhang here in a minute. Look for the guy doing a rear naked choke on a tub of guts as they both plummet to their doom – that’ll be me. I’ve had it.
Oh, come on, Owings.
Can the Reds even score against a decent pitcher? Z hits a HR :poke:
Okay, crisis temporarily averted. That lump took a call (speakerphone, natch), and just took off, with a boast to his pals that he was “getting the hookup” with Diamond Club seats.
Their loss is our gain.
The guy is literally hiccuping, like he’s Barney Gumble or something.
Is the last time the Reds were no hit really 1971??
That being the year the team was no-hit twice?
6/23/1971 vs Philly and Rick Wise (the Reds did get 1 BB)
6/3/1971 (no hit in the same month) vs the Cubs and Ken Holtzman (the Reds did BB 4 times)
The last time the Reds had only 3 base runners was, oh right that just happened vs Carpenter and Stl
This looks like a AAA lineup for the Rojos.
Compare:
Hairston 3b
Dickerson cf
Phillips 2b
Nix lf
Hernandez c
Bruce rf
Gonzalez ss
Rosales 1b
Owings p
Rose 3b
Griffey rf
Morgan 2b
Foster lf
Bench c
Perez 1b
Concepcion ss
Geronimo cf
Billingham p
Wow!
Reds ‘09. AAA all the way!!!!!
Gameday froze, I can’t listen due to a media error and the game is blocked out on MLB.TV and it’s too early to listen on the car radio.
What happened to Gonzo? DP?
Just finished watching Virginia blow a NCAA Super Regional game. Allowed Ole Miss to score in the bottom of the ninth to tie the game (tying runner reached on E4), then a 12th inning walkoff homer. Frustrating. Virginia led the entire game until there was one out in the ninth.
It’s like being a Reds fan.
Oh, goodie!! Can Owings HR off Z like Z did off Owings?
guess not…pathetic
Owings usually goes south in the 6th…look out :-((
…and Lee is on
I can’t stand to hear all the stupid Cub fans. How is it live?
I went to a couple of Reds/Cubs games two years ago, and I swore I’d never do it again. Ugh, Cubs fans….
Other than Chris’ wife, of course.
Wonder how long Crusty waits to get the bull pen up?
Gonzales GIDP. As predicted by about 20 different people in my section.
Jesse has been confirmed in the riverboat, right behind GG.
Oh he’s got the bull pen busy…and it’s Burton, :emotion:
If Owings can get out of this, it’ll be a pretty good six innings, all things considered.
Now the bats need to get going.
yep, not bad for owongs
The crowd isn’t noticably pro-Cub. Mostly a bunch of drunks not paying any attention to the game but having a good time … so essentially a Wrigley crowd.
Who’s excited about tomorrow’s start? I’m really pulling for that kid, been wanting him to come up for a while now.
Definitely like to see Maloney do well in his debut.
Absolutely HORRIBLE baserunning by Dickerson. That’s one of the worst mistakes I’ve ever seen on the basepaths.
Okay, Dickerson was stealing, so it’s not as bad as I thought. Sorry, Dickerson.
I find it ironic that Welsh is somewhat complaining about Soriano’s OBP as a leadoff man when the Reds have Willy Taveras. Throw in some complaints about him, too, please, Chris.
Jay has been on all 3 times, if I’ve been paying attention.
Really? Pulling Big Z? Nope. Lou sure is a slow walker, though.
Carolina’s 8 game winning streak in jeopardy along with Heisey’s 13 game hitting streak down 5-1 after 8
Don’t look now, but Roseales’ numbers are looking pretty bad.
i might rather see massett
What went on there with Masset?
Adam Rosales’ AB music is Ants Marching, thus making him Chad’s favorite player! Not to mention, Chad thinks he is good looking!
Pinella preserving the lead…something Dusty needs to learn
I’d might rather keep masset in the game…I don’t know I guess Dusty is right on this one.
Now who does he bring in? Burton? Lincoln?
So I guess GG and Welsh are taking the FS Ohio “helicopter” out of the ballpark tonight, according to GG of course.
Just saw a “Claussen” jersey.
Youve got to be japing us on that, right?
any news on EE starting his rehab assignment?
Well, I guess i did see a Majewski T-shirt jersey a couple years back. It was a T-shirt jersey, right?
You know I must say that there are quite a few pitchers that have come to the Reds in the last few years who have done better than where they were before. Guess the pitching coaching isn’t too bad…where did this Nick Massett and Auther Rhodes come from? ERA’s below 1.0 ??
Why is their a Cubs.com shop advertisment at the top of RN page? Are you slowly turning this over into a Cubs Blog, Chad?
hairston swinging at balls :poke:
Juan Fransisco now with 11 HR and 40 RBI’s but only .245 BA
Team BP!!!
Alright, Team Phillips!!!!!
Soriano makes Dunn look like a Gold Glover!!!!!
Nix bad in the clutch :poke: :-(( :emotion:

Time to jack one out of the place, JB.
Time to give the run back
Does Dickerson’s range compare with Taveras’ or is it a Gonzalez-type deception?
Have we had much of a discussion on this “Reds looking for a 3B” bull crap? Is Encarancion never coming back?
How can you broadcast from that far away?
ump sux
Just noticed that Cubs ad, Jason. Stupid Google ads.
Dickerson’s range in CF has been better than Taveras’s this season and for his career in CF
Good question on Dickerson’s range, Jim. I don’t know the answer, but I know he’s made a couple of catches tonight that LOOKED good.
Hannigan for ROY!
What’s up with Ryan Hanigan?
What’s Hanigan’s minor league stats?
Wilkin Castillo in to pinch run?
JHJ swings at ball four. Terrible. That would have gotten a runner into scoring position.
Based on the limited number of games they have played this season, Taveras has a RF of 3.00 and Dickerson a RF of 2.33 but would the number of games Dickerson has played in LF naturally reduce his RF since the CF takes charge?
Ha!!!
And he swung at ball four again…but is bailed out by a wild pitch.
Terrible AB by JHJ, yet he reached base. I love baseball.
Jerry Hatterson
I’d love to have a mic on a Cubs fan right now.
boo
You can turn that mic off now.
this team can NOT score runs without Votto and Bruce hitting
Here are the minor league #s that I love about Hanigan
OBP
.376 AAA (4 seasons)
.405 AA (3 seasons)
.362 A (2 seasons)
.368 H-A (1 season)
.383 career minor league OBP in 2121 PA
a number of times he BB more than he SO
I should also add his career Major League OBP is ALSO .383 in 202 PA
those are great #s
When you get a break like that, you’ve got to take advantage. Phillips and Hanigan were clutch tonite.
As for the rest of the lineup …
