Reading is fundamental. This was pre-game

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

I read it correctly, no confusion here. He didn't bother to give the excuse until after he blew the game ;)

Chapman blows the game.

then

'Dusty said in pregame that his back was bothering him.'

If he doesn't give up the homerun, the twitter likely never happens. :2

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

This just in from tweeter:

Arroyo said before the game he had some bad fried chicken, could be the reason the Reds lost tonight.

Studly, your record continues to skip. It sure is getting awful tiresome to hear your constant piling on in this thread. This thread is for Reds fans- which you aren't. So please do us fans a favor and maybe start a Reds haters thread where you can post your bombast all the time and those of us that support the Reds don't have to read it. Sorry, but it sure is getting old to deal with your pablum everytime the Reds lose, and your deafening silence when they win.:2

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

Thank you for telling me where my loyalties lie. Not a Reds hater by any means, just far from a homer. Sorry I can't only stop by when they win to post. I post when they win, I post when they lose. Apparently nothing negative shall ever be posted in this thread. Unfortunately, without Andrew and I, there wouldn't be much of a sports discussion in this thread. I am a sports fan first, I am a realist, I call it like I see it, without the blind faith of claiming everything Reds related is gold. ;s

Reds drop 3 to one of the Tigers' rivals. I am not happy with the Reds right now.

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

You're not the only one! Go on a nice winning streak then- BAM- losing streak. Sweep the Indians- BAM- they sweep you. It is frustrating for certain! Hopefully then can get back on the right track vs the Twinkees!

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

+1. Lets hope a day off helps them.

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

Does Stubbs deserve his spot back in CF after the way Heisey and Ludwick have been playing in his absence? :hm

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

Yes. Stubbs is a heck of a lot better defensively.

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

Reds...:fp

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

Might be time to rethink Chapman as closer. I sure hope he doesn't flop. Lotta money invested but the harder you throw it the further they hit it- and today's HR was creamed! Face palm fer sher!

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

Yesterday: Reds win! Reds win! :banger :tu :banger :tu

Today: :td

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

Latos pitches like the pitcher they traded away their entire farm system for, albeit against one of the worst hitting teams in the league. He did look good tonight though, and its a good thing Dusty didn't pick up the phone to call in his closer tonight and let him finish it out. :tu

Reds win! Reds win! :banger :tu :banger :tu :banger

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

A needed victory, but Larry is right; the planets were misaligned and that had Brewer bats swing a few inches off thus causing them to miss the ball many times. Perhaps, Larry, the recent solar flares will re-align the pattern and the Reds will resume losing. It's freakin' cosmic!

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

+1. I wish the solar flares would quit acting up so that Cozart could actually get a hit and not strike out. Also, maybe the whole team would hit better if it weren't for the misalignment of the planets.

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

I think I'd tell my batters not to swing at any pitch Chapman throws. He might just walk the ballpark until he realizes what's happening and throw some balls down the middle of the plate. Good victory, but Chapman does not inspire confidence at this point.

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

Reds win! Reds win! :banger :tu :banger :tu

I loved the 2 front rolls after he got the save. :) Apparently, Dusty did not and I see his point. I think Votto gets drilled tomorrow.
