9/5 Winners (Lilly) @ DBR (Arroyo) 6:10 PM CST CSN+

[Derwood]

you guys are too much

[Little Slide Rooter]

How long does the skid have to go before some people are willing to admit that theres trouble?

 

longer. the best team in the NL doesn't suddenly forget how to play baseball 140 games into the season.

 

Im not sayin that this team is going to complete the collapse. All Im saying is that its possible. Theres a difference between a losing streak and a streak where a team looks down right horrid. Just out of curiosity, what was the Mets lead this time last year? like 7 games? Im not saying its going to happen, but there are people out there who refuse to admit the possibility.

I'm worried now. Me worrying doesn't necessarily equate to trouble, but the thought is there.

[Schwarber Fan]

Did anyone realize that Jay Bruce hit a Grand Slam tonight?

 

The Reds announcers haven't really mentioned it.

Seriously if you are jumping ship after 6 games you haven't been following baseball enough

[17 Seconds]

Only 7.5 games up on a playoff spot now.

[David]

The thing is, I'm not taking this loss all that hard for some reason. You would think with it being the 6th loss in a row it would really suck... but then, when you're losing by so much so early, you don't really get into it I guess.

I believe it will be 8...

[Schwarber Fan]

CC with his 2nd hit of the night...

 

ho hum

I dont see any incinuation of jumping ship now. This team is just looking bad lately, and some of the eternal optimists are starting to go south.

100% agree.

It's actually 8.5 and 8 after we lose tonight.

with 21 games to go. The cubs are fine. better to struggle now than 4 weeks from now

[erik316wttn]

Glad to know I didn't waste my Friday night on this crap.

 

Six in a row boys. Keep up the good work.

 

PS: That thing in your hands? It's called a bat. You use it to try to get hits, and then score runs. The object of the game is to score more "runs" than the other team. Just in case you've forgotten.

[Schwarber Fan]

LOL from this game:

 

1. Koyie Hill has all our RBIs

2. Jay Bruce attempting to play RF

We are fine for a postseason spot but if we blow this division and HF advantage, I'll be sick about it.

[UMFan83]

I think its the number 55 that does well in Cincinnati.

 

Didn't Estes wear 55 as well as Koyie Hill?

they won't

[Schwarber Fan]

leadoff man on for SD in the 7th

[JeffH]

better to struggle now than 4 weeks from now

 

No, thanks. I'd rather struggle 4 weeks from now. That would mean that we made the playoffs.

 

Struggling now is very possibly leading us toward the most horrifying collapse in sports history.

 

I'd like to, you know, avoid that.

[Schwarber Fan]

He moves to 2nd on a WP

 

Cmon Edgar

Are Gerut and Hairston on the DL? Neither one are in today or yesterday.

[gflore34]

Another K for K, I really want to see Hoff in RF for the next week or so, let K grab some big time bench.

[third eye]

Do we have Marquis going tomorrow? Maybe he can spin one of those out-of-his-arse CGs. Who's pitching for DBR?

[Little Slide Rooter]

guy on 3rd 1 out for Pads.
