Not bad, not bad. I'm trying to temper my enthusiasm as it was just the Pirates, but it is a good sign to see 2 complete games and the top of the line up is red hot right now. We'll see what happens this weekend. I'm with Andy, if we take 1 out of the 3 I will be happy.

I bet my brother $5 that the Reds win the series this weekend vs. the Cardinals.

I am drinking the Kool-Aid! :al

You would be a homer if they were 12.5 games back with 13 to play. :rolleyes:

Sounds like a good bet to me. My Cards are playing like little league right now ... can''t hit, can't pitch and can't field. Just got swept by the Astros for crying out loud, a team with the worst record (13-21) in the National League.

Looks like Holiday woke up today though.

Good game tonight by the Redlegs. The bullpen tried to blow it in the end but they still held on. Nice to see Stubbs up his average to .200 with his hit today. :tu

:banger If the Reds win today I get $5 :banger

Stubbs had a great game.

If by a great game you mean 1 for 4 with two strikeouts. :rolleyes:

He had a hit when it counted but he still is only hitting .200 for an everyday player. :td

Never said anything about your bet dummy. You just act like you are drinking the Flavor-aid now and you wouldn't be a homer if they were in last place. :rolleyes:

Anyone else think Massett will be a great closer in the future? I think he will be. He has some wicked stuff.

Tell me about it.
If they did, the Padres would be NL West champs.

:tu If only, but that bet is looking good right about now. I thought when I made it that you were a sure thing to win.

The Padres have been surprising this year, to say the least.:tu

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 
Before the season started, the Reds had 40:1 odds to win the World Series. I put $10 down.

I sure hope they win the WS. $400 baby!

chippewastud79 05-17-2010 07:46 AM
Re: Red's Fans Check in
 
This is the LATEST in the season that the Reds have been in first place since 2006. And we are only two months out from the AllStar break. :hm

Oh, it is looking better than the 8th hitter against a Cubs middle reliever right now! :r

Man Cueto is looking really good in his last few outings. As long as the SP keeps doing what they're doing we will be just fine!

But DRH and Cordero really had some scary moments in the 9th.:hg

A 6-1 game turned into a 6-3 nail-biter...

I am listening to the game right now on the radio. The Cowboy is an awesome commentator. I kind of like it when I am at work and the game is on so that I have to listen to the radio.

We can't keep winning games like this.....eventually these odds are going to even out.

Hey, you get 9 innings. Who says you have to establish a lead early?

I guess I just have a hard time seeing any negative in what they are doing right now. Just keep winning :tu

The odds are normally against late inning wins, but the Braves of the 90s made it popular to win in the bottom of the ninth.

All in good fun, but it's quite accurate too.:) The Reds are not the Braves of the 90s, and that's what worries me about this team not scoring early in the game.

Not to worry, Andy...not many teams are "the Braves of the '90s". ;)

I believe they now have double digit wins in their last at bat of the game. This will definitely catch up with them, particularly as bad as their bullpen has been. :hm

Yeah it's up to 10 now. That's what I was saying, eventually it will catch up to them. They are playing with fire right now and fortunately coming out on the right end.

Harang stinking it up tonight in the first...

Third game I get to see televised, and it would be Harang. I get all the Braves games on tv, but no Cincy games. Thank God for MLBAudio.

Starscream 05-19-2010 07:09 PM
Re: Red's Fans Check in
 
Harang didn't look too bad after the first, but the damage is already done...:hn

Eh... we are allowed to lose some every now and then. We only lost by 1 run.

Oh the eternal optimist. The bullpen blows it and you are happy? This bullpen is suspect at best. :td


By the way, notice how a young rookie outfielder who is an everyday player is supposed to play. Heyward is the fricken man, he makes our young outfielders look like crap. :rolleyes:

I love when the Reds play the Cubs b/c it is so much fun to watch Lou stir around in the dugout and see how pissed he gets when his relievers walk someone. :r

I am the eternal realist, you are ready to give them the penant. It is what it is.

And statistically they have the 25th worst bullpen in baseball. One ahead of the Cubbies ;s
