Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

That means Cubs lose, right? :lr

No matter to me, Tigers are in the playoffs. :D

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

Drew Stubbs beats the Cubs! Jay Bruce for MVP! :tu :banger :r

Reds beat the Cubs 3 out of 4 :wo :sh

Reds win! Reds win! :noon:tu-(P:banger:noon

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

Quite difficult not to. ;) :lr

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

Whatchyoutalkinbout, Willis?

We can't win a series against the ASStros, so I'm surprised we took this series.

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

The Cubs couldn't win a series against a high school softball team.

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

Well then the Reds would definitely be a High School Softball team, the were 3 for 5 in series against the Cubbies.... just saying ;)

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

I said the Cubs couldn't win a series against a HS team, Steve. ;)

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

But they beat The Reds in 2 Series!!!! Thats REAL not good... especially for winning the division the previous year and not really losing anyone...

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

Yeah, the Reds suck too. :lr

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

Don't let Dan read that blasphemy in this thread. :td

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

Is it possible that Dusty is trying to keep Stubbs from ending up with 200+ K's? He has been getting a lot of days off recently, despite not sitting at all early in the season (read: ALL season) when he completely sucks. :hm

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

I'd say it's quite possible that's what Dusty's doing. But if he truly wanted to do that, we should be seeing more of the callups out there. I don't like Sappelt that much, but since the season's over anyway, it would be nice to get an extended look at him.

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

Reds were officially eliminated from the Wild Card last night. I thought they were officially eliminated when the season started. :hm

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

I think he deserves to swing for the fences and miss, well, more like watch strikes fly by him. If he had the AB's he would be well past 200 by now. :tu

:dance::<:noon:=:

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

Do you read Daugherty's column at the Enquirer, Adam? He likes to keep bringing up Stubbs' stats vs. Heisey's stats. Heisey has more RBIs and HRs than Stubbs with less than half the plate appearances. Kinda makes me wonder. :hm

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

Just saw it. It is a wonder why Stubbs plays so much despite his inability to be effective given so many plate appearances. :sh

I just saw a stat that he has 15 HR's away from GABP, that includes 4 at Wrigley where the wind can straight carry them out. :hm

Dusty has promised not to sit Stubbs and Arroyo down the stretch, but he has already cut down on his AB's and hasn't pinch hit/run him when he doesn't start. Dusty likely doesn't like looking like a moron, given that Stubbs is supposed to be the best leadoff hitter since Rickey. :td

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

197! Reds record, alone at the top! Tied for 7th all-time! At least he can be the league leader in something. :banger :tu :noon

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

"We didn't get a lot of runs, we didn't get a lot of hits." Great insight Dusty. :bh

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

I heard that quote often when he managed the Cubs. :lr

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

Maybe you will be blessed to hear it again in Chicago one day?

Wishful thinking on my part, Tom.:r

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

Stubbs adds another one, 2 away from 200. 5 hits, 14 K's in his last 10 games, finishing with a fury. :tu

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

Did the Reds Win?! Did the Reds Win?! :banger :D :noon :D :banger

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

Did you notice any other posts with 5 smilies? :hm

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

How about today?! :banger :D :noon :D :banger

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

Its been only about 7 games this month that Dan could post about. :rolleyes:

I'm just hoping Stubbs can crack 200 tonight against the worst team in baseball. :tu

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

I say number 200 will be a fastball right down the gut and he'll just stand there and watch it go by.

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

And this one belongs to the Reds! :noon:banger:tu:banger:noon

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

5 more in a row for .500! :wnr

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

Stubbs makes it to 200 :tu :banger :noon :chr

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

Reds win! Reds win! :banger :D :wnr :D :banger

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

Reds Win :banger :tu :D :noon :dance:

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

Not surprisingly, Stubbs sits again. Dusty is definitely trying to prevent him from getting that K total too high by giving him games off down the stretch. Let the guy strike out, why are you preventing him from doing so? :td

I see Heisey added to his RBI lead over Stubbs today too despite 329 less AB's. Its astonishing that Dusty can't put the most competitive team onthe field. If they would put hype aside and play the best team, they could almost have an above .500 team. :hm

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

Maybe Dusty is resting him for the playoffs?

:banger :tu :noon :banger :tu

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

It's official. We're gonna finish below .500 for the year (as if we already didn't know).

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

:banger :D :D :banger :confused:

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

I thought that was official on opening day :gary

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

Drew Stubbs adds two more, and some how walked twice. :tu

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

No Dan....Reds lose?

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

Even w/o any upgrades in the offseason, I still had some hope up until the All-Star break.

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

:tg



Serious question, Admiral. Since you obviously root for two teams (Cubbies and Tigers), which is your real #1? If I had to guess, it would be Detroit, but I'm not 100%. Congrats either way on them winning the AL Central.

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

Is the season over yet? Good Lord this season has been painful to watch... I am focused on the Bungles now.

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

Almost. Offseason should be busy according to Jocketty. He promises that payroll will go up and that this offseason should be MUCH busier than last.

And don't feel bad. I've been more focused on Cam and Smitty lately, so the Reds are the least of my worries right now. Maybe we'll get our first win this year against Jax.

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

Yeah, I would love to see us get an ace, but I was listening to the Reds on Friday and Mark Sheldon from MLB.com said the only ace on the free market is C.J. Wilson and he will go to a big market team b/c the Reds won't have enough money to offer him.

I would love to see us get a big bat to put into the lineup to take some pressure off of Votto/Bruce.

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

Tigers, yes Andy. When I moved to Chicago (even when we'd visit before I left Detroit), Wrigley Field provided some great memories, so I root for the Cubs in the National League, but I've been a Tigers fan since '67. I can still name the line-up for the '68 WS victors.

Chicago is my adopted home though, and I even root for the White Sox to do well in years that they make the playoffs and the Tigers don't. I guess coming from a "one-team town", I can't really understand the hatred between the Cubs and Sox fans.
