Nice win guys, hope to see you in a few days!

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

I was the catcher. You couldn't see me with my mask on :tu

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

Way to win one with Cueto getting hurt...Latos proved to be money last night.

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

Did you see the Tigers game, Dan? I won! I won! I did it! :wo :banger :lr

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

I won all kinds of games this weekend. We beat the A's twice! We beat the Giants! A great game by us beating the Cornhuskers yesterday. Also my team beat Miami last night! We won so many games! :tu

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

We beat LSU and moved up to #4 in the NCAA AP Top 25!

We're Number 4! We're Munber 4! :wo :banger :wo

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

xcept for your alma mater that got spanked!;s by that powerhouse team in Northern OHIO, no less.

And, last time I checked- they introduce the Reds as "YOUR Cincinnati Reds." So if the team even says that it's "ours" I reckon there is nothing wrong in saying "we."

Marge Shottenheimer is rolling over in her grave. :r

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

You mean Large Marge the Barge? Boy, I could tell you some stories about her! Like praising all our troops fighting in the middle west!

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

My Chippewas did lose to the Rockets, it wasn't a great performance in the second half, particularly the QB who threw 2 TD's to the other team. :bh

Last I checked, nothing that any fan did yesterday (or any day) helped win a baseball game, particularly ones watching from their home. I'm sorry, but any time some fan claims that "we won" or "No one can beat us", just isn't correct. We didn't win anything by being fans, the players won the game. Particularly when the only connection you have with the team is being a fan. College, Professional or otherwise, unless you are a part of the program in some capacity other than 'fan', you cannot include yourself as part of said team/university/college and claim 'we won'. :2

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

It is correct, just by a different definition. The team won the game, and the fans won the right to celebrate, so in essence, we won too.

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

Arroyo is flat out dealing right now!

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

Are we gonna win? :D

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

I believe we will, Tom.

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

We dood it, Hugh! :wo :wnr :banger :wnr :wo

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

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

Who said that our offense was terrible? :r

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

I decided to take the day off of work tomorrow because... My cousin and I are going to the NLDS game 3 tomorrow :banger

We scored some seats on StubHub on the 1st base line for $112 each after fees :)

Hopefully we will be able to clinch and sweep tomorrow. I have never been to a playoff baseball game before. So pumped! :banger

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

Good onya! Would be good if WE take it in three!

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

Would love seeing the Reds SWEEP the Giants...I cannot stand Posey!!

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

I am curious.... why?

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

Have fun! $112 is cheap for playoff tickets

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

Because he cried like a b*tch at this years All Star Game that he couldn't catch Dickey (he said he didn't want to look inept). And Dickey didn't get the start due to that.

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

Thanks man. Should be a blast :banger

Gotcha. That sure is a b*tch move.

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

Hmm, seems like all of us who pay taxes in Hamilton County Ohio (where the Reds and Bengals have their publicly-funded stadiums*), especially those of us who live here, can use the term "we" with great accuracy in reference to the very existence of the teams in their current venues, not to mention their performances good or bad.

If the sales tax increase levy had failed, perhaps the teams would have ponied up the money themsel...oh heck I can't keep my tongue in cheek long enough to finish that sentence. One or both teams likely would have left town...which to me wouldn't have mattered a whit.

But since the tax increase passed and they are still here, occasionally crying out for a more public dollars for upkeep by the way, I think it's fine to say 'We won' or 'We sucked today' as conditions dictate. Sort of like how some folks describe their relationships on Facebook, "It's complicated" between the Reds, Bengals, and those of us who keep them in business here.

* I think 'stadia' is the preferred plural for 'stadium' but it sounds uppity. I don't mind being thought of as pompous or arrogant, however I draw the line at uppity. :tu

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

Nice review!

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

Sorry, Brian. Your logic is somewhat flawed. By your argument, only locals can use we/us. If I live in Cincinnati but I am a fan of, say, the Atlanta Braves, am I permitted to refer to the Braves with the pronouns we and us?

Food for thought.

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

I pay said property taxes, and it is a pretty penny, but those property taxes do not, however, include me as part of either team.

Its like claiming that the Ben-Gals or Rosie Red helped win/lose a game. :2

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

I think there is a game going on here...

Bailey and Vogelsong both pitched well.

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

This situation looks grim now.
Latos tomorrow on three days rest? Doesn't sound appealing. Leake or Arroyo on short rest for game five? No way we win that one.

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

You can't win if you don't hit! Bailey deserved to win that game!

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

Today, their pitching was phemomenal. Three mistakes cost them the game, Phillips, Hannigan and Rolen. :td


I certainly don't like the idea of their next two starting pitchers, but they haven't given up a lot of hits (let alone runs) even with the different pitchers they have put out there. If they score 5 runs tomorrow, they probably win the game/series.:2

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

I had a blast at the game. It is a shame we didn't win. I dont know why Dusty has Rolen in there instead of Frazier

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

I don't believe my logic is flawed. We taxpayers bore the brunt of construction costs for both the Reds' and Bengals' facilities. (What the Bengals paid towards their stadium was about the amount of overruns from the no-doubt-deliberately-understated projections. The Reds ownership did somewhat better percentagewise.)

As to the part about out-of-towners, I never said they couldn't also use "us", "we", etc. They just need to make that case for themselves... :)

And before I forget, play ball!

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

Leake was clearly not ready for the post season. I haven't given up on the kid, he's still young, but obviously didn't need to be in this game. But that's nothing we didn't already know before this game started. It's not over yet, but looks like it's time to prepare for game five.

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

I'm rooting for the Reds until the next series. Really want to see a Reds vs Cards playoff.

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

Also, I really don't want to start watching a game at 11pm if things work out for the Cards. GO REDS:D

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

I think we will win tomorrow with Latos pitching. He is on fire right now.

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

I hope so. I hate the Giants.

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

Wtf? 6-0

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

sux

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

6-2. Feeling a bit better now.

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

Nope

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

6-3

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

These guys never heard of "clutch hitting" I guess.

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

Interesting here in the 9th!

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

Heck of a ball game. The Reds certainly didn't quit. Just gave up too much with the Posey grand slam.

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

Sorry guys, really sucks :td

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

Congrats to the Reds fans for a great season by their team,

Re: Red's Fans Check in
 

Congrats to the Reds and their fans on a great season.

Now Posey can SUCK IT!!!
