That was a good use of Russell there. Had to take the risk to try to save Marshall if possible and 2 of the 3 being left-handers makes that a good spot for Russell. Also glad to see him pulled out when that stretch was over.

[Yeti]

did quade forget to double switch?

[CubColtPacer]

did quade forget to double switch?

 

The 9 spot ended the last inning-no need to double switch.

Minutes after referring to the 2004 Red Sox, Brennaman states that 2010 was the first time Arroyo has had the chance to pitch for "a good team".

 

To be fair, he was saying Arroyo has won 15 games for three straight seasons, and what was impressive about it was that the Reds were only good for the first time last season.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Byrd struck out swinging

[Bryants Disco Ball]

A-Ram needs to hit a homer here. Let's go

[MWV]

...Aaaaaand 2003 NLCS reference.

[Guest]

And now we get the customary talk about the 2003 NLCS.

 

Thanks assholes.

[InconspicuousZ28]

Say it McCarver....you know you want to say something about Bartman.....do it.

...Aaaaaand 2003 NLCS reference.

Brenneman is creaming his panties right now, regaling in his story of game 6/7
