ive been getting on here for like 2 months but just started posting
dont know if i should even be telling this but on nights i have made posts we are 0-4, hope im not the bad luck guy
is this going to be a short rain?
or does the forecast call for lots of rain?

these synchronized divers are even younger than the gymnasts.

I believe that's okay in diving
There’s only a limit in gymnastics, I think. Great Britain has a 14 year-old kid diving in the men’s competition.

What bad luck if we lose this one on rain
does anyone know if that is a chance
When the time comes for me to not be bothered by losing that is when I know it is time to retire my fandom
radar looks like it will pass
I dont see this one getting called off but it snot like i have any inside info just from everything ive looked at
Studying the satellite images
Looks like there is a blob (that’s a technical term, BTW) of T-storms right around the stadium, with rain around that. Winds are only 7 mph, so it could take a while to pass. But it doesn’t look that serious. I’m not sure if it’s a good thing that we may lift Lohse or a bad thing.

yeah there's only one line of showers going threw

a different kind of fun
I’m watching the Pirates/Reds game on TV… brings re-newed meaning to the phrase “ya need a scorecard.” Without any tingle in the spine (nothing on the line for ME) it’s a nice joy to watch young guys out there just trying to do their best.

Yeah, he's no Wakefield
Big Papi finally woke up: 2 HR and a 2B that looked like a homer but was called fan interference.
Does any team have good middle relievers?
Sigh.....tough game for Lohse
even if he wasnt pitching his best he was close to getting out of the first 2 innings. All 4 runs scored with 2 out!

If called,
this would be one of the worst losses of the season. We don’t even get nine at-bats to decide our fate. How abrubt and awful.

Looked like something with the leg
Was doing the dishes when it happened. When I was done he was walking off the field.
FSN Houston had a chick interviewing some former player during it and she would not allow it to be interupted. The guy being interviewed seemed to know it was a big deal, because he kept trying to steer her back to what was going on on the field, but oh no, she was not to be detered. She kept plowing ahead.
So long story short…not sure, but he was limping pretty badly coming off the field.

If he's walking
then that’s much better than it sounded at first.
Losing Lincecum would be a major loss for baseball.
yeah i just saw the replay out here
it looked like it was off the to of the knee the way the hit. he was in pain though he couldn’t hide it and as stated above was limping when he came off
Funny.....
MLBrumors.com had a write-up today about he wants to go year-to-year, rather than sign a longterm deal, and that injuries will pretty much decide if that is a smart move.

looks like it will clear up if they can wait a bit more
yeah

Gotta hand it to Texas. Any team not completely demoralized after letting 10 cross the plate before the fans are in their seats deserves my respect, let alone clawing back to lead the game. Unbelievable.

might take a while to get the field ready. Not sure how much rain the infield took before the tarp. they got it on quick but it came down in a hurry.

Isn't the field one of the first sand-based ones
so that water drains fast?

sand based
everything in Florida is sand based. We dont have real dirt. Its either clay or sand. It would be nice if it drained post haste, so neither teams players slip and get hurt because of a crappy field.

Getting the field in pretty good shape. There may be more players on the field than fans in the stadium though.

You are right about that.
But Dolphin stadium IS a lousy place to watch baseball. Plus, it is hot as hell down there, and there are lots of options for night activities in the MIami area.
New Park
I hope that turns the fan base around a bit.

Micah Owings in the player to be named later.
Hmm…..makes the deal a little different then all the speculation. Not sure how much I like it now for Zona.
oh wow!
he’s a special talent. I think the Reds did well. Jock’s still workin magic.

Zona still gets two picks in the offseason tho...
... and they’ve got some SP depth. i still like it for them. they’re going for it this year, but also leaving themselves open for the next few years.
Reds rotation next year:
Arroyo
Volquez
Harang
Owings
Cueto
with Bailey waiting in the wings. that could be very good.
how can owings be a ptbnl?
he played in the same league this year as dunn.
"..and that, my liege, is how we know the Earth to be banana shaped." -Sir Belvedere
yes, but
the rules say he can’t play in the same league. PTBNL have to either come from the other league (AL) or the minors.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PTBNL
"..and that, my liege, is how we know the Earth to be banana shaped." -Sir Belvedere
He was optioned to Tuscon
on July 30th, and has been there since. A story I read said that he still needs to clear waivers, though. Not sure of the source’s reputability.
well, that explains it i guess
missed that he went down (though I thought the rule was “in the same league in the same year”, but it’s apparently just “after the trade occurs”)
"..and that, my liege, is how we know the Earth to be banana shaped." -Sir Belvedere
i thought
mlbtraderumors said that this was actually put into process at the deadline, or something?
i don’t know, it seemed weird.
"Them Cubbies can kiss my ass" -Dizzy Dean
sketchy
very sketchy.
I guess WJ could have a gentleman’s agreement to trade owings for $1 on 1 Nov, or something. But he can’t be a ptbnl, and if dunn was traded in July the astros, brewers and nats have a legitimate concern.
Granted, the reds have only won one game so far in august.

here we go, Albert, Luddy, and Ank

no runs since the first inning...
... and this might be our last good chance. if we don’t put up runs here, we deserve to lose.

i go with gammons
elbow is an issue and specifically why he no longer drives the ball the other way. full extension is the problem with an elbow injury.
If you can keep your head when all about you are losing theirs, perhaps you haven't grasped the situation!
i've been saying this all season long
he needs to get the TJ this offseason & be done with it. if he wont, the Cards should force him too
I'm going to go try to find a puppy and kick it. - Brad Thompson AND THAT'S A WINNER!
I don't buy that explanation
For his career, he goes opposite field 15.4% of the time, this season 10.7%, not a significant difference given the sample size of one season. Career slugging percentage going to opposite field is .567, this year .521
In other words, if he homers to opposite field in his next AB, he’d be slugging over his career average to right.
do you really think he shouldn't get TJ?
i can’t remember the last time i saw him hit a double or HR to right. in fact, according to those numbers, he only has one HR to right & only 5 doubles to right all season. that’s not the Albert Pujols we’ve all come to know & love.
I'm going to go try to find a puppy and kick it. - Brad Thompson AND THAT'S A WINNER!
It is the Albert we know and love
or at least, one just a HR to right shy. I can see him doing it in Cincy, easy.
I’d rather he get the surgery at the start of an offseason than during a season, but it’s not my elbow.
I still love this Albert

By the way (I've been gone for awhile, just catching up on all the comments in this thread)
Talking about Olympians we each know, one of our female swimmers, Margaret Hoelzer, rode the carpool to elementary school with me for a few years. She won bronze the other night, but her main event, 200m backstroke, is coming up soon. She should win gold :D

I always pulled my calves doing the backstroke.
Coach made me swim the butterfly.
I have the athletic build of a golfer
And that’s why I played that in high school, although I probably could have been a bench/JV baseball player. I was never on swim team, and I was probably too conscious (is that the right word? brain fart) of my appearance to wear a speedo.

Indeed
The last two pitches were balls.
Testicle-exploding shit storm, circa 7/12/08 - We will never forget!
i dont know why that is
he must put extra pressure on himself in the late innings to always hit a HR. which is wrong, if he just gets on base, good things will happen.

I will say this, though
Franklin has got a very large arsenal of pitches: fastball, cutter, splitter, curve, change and knuckle.

once again our offense has nothing for the late innings. we really need some hitters toward the bottom of our lineup. re-freakin-diculous.

Absolutely no excuse.....
To go 27 straight outs without scoring a run.
I knew we were in trouble when we stopped at 3 runs in the 1st. Luddy on 2nd, and nobody out, but we had already scored 3 so we don’t take good AB’s.
Games like this hurt.
agree with you on that
volstad’s pitch count was close to 30 in the first inning (may have gone over) and was 72 after 5 innings. That’s pathetic.
"..and that, my liege, is how we know the Earth to be banana shaped." -Sir Belvedere
i know they can't win every game
but this pattern of the O scoring in the first few innings & the going to sleep for the rest of the game has to stop. our lower half of the line up, which is usually the MI’s, is a black hole of suck. our line up is full of streaky hitters. we need more consistency all across the board.
i dnot know what, if any thing can be done in the next month & a half to fix it, but MO has to do something this winter to fix the problem. good luck MO.

It's what you get...
When you have a lineup full of singles hitters that don’t walk (or steal bases). Unless you string them all in one inning (which is basically what happened), you aren’t going to score.
Look at the number of XBH the lineup has:
Pujols – 52
Lud – 56
Ank – 45
Glaus – 50
That’s solid. But then look at the rest
Skippy – 30
Izzy2 – 13
Lopez – 22
Yadi – 20
I am pretty upset right now
When the time comes for me to not be bothered by losing that is when I know it is time to retire my fandom
unfortunately
27=0 is nothing new
a weird thing that i agree can be mostly attributed to not being patient at the plate. we should have been in their bullpen in the 4th inning. i suspect that our game plans become obvious to our opponents very quickly and they adjust and we don’t. i’m talking about what to throw who on the first pitch or with two strikes. doesn’t possible, but …..i guess we need to hire some consultants from the rangers
If you can keep your head when all about you are losing theirs, perhaps you haven't grasped the situation!
