SHAM!

Nice Lee. Haha, Z.

Well that was an amazing showing by the heart of our order...

Cute.

Good to see Soto taking some pitches against the great Glendon Rusch....

I don't live in Chicago and don't get to listen to Pat and Ron that frequently, but I feel like Ron calls him "Patrick" more often than not...

Is there a video of Sammy's NLCS Game 1 homer online? I couldn't find one on YouTube.

Whether we win or lose, I hope someone is preparing a montage of all the fairweather NSBB Cubs fans that pissed and moaned and gave up after the first inning. Too classic.

And Ronny continues to make a case for himself. Geez.

No, it really isn't....check any grammar website and you'll see you're wrong. "intensive purposes" doesn't even make any sense.

Uhhhhh, it's definitely "intents and purposes", not "intensive purposes."

Anybody know where to find audio of Brenneman cussing out Brantley live on the radio this afternoon? I just heard a replay of it on XM. Hilarious! "DON'T YOU DARE CHALLENGE ME ON THE AIR AGAIN!"

Nice Theriot. Pitcher can't get the ball over the plate and you swing at the first pitch. Good work.

Eventually the players are going to realize they ain't as good as their April is suggesting, and by May the Cards will fall back into their spot in the NL Central. You can't rely on 4 crappy pitchers, and one good pitcher for the whole season. Didn't we say the same thing in '06???

I had no idea that Reds fans didn't drink to excess during games. How about that?

Not true. $1 hot dog days and Joe Morgan Bobblehead night always pack the seats with 35,000+ rednecks from faraway suburbs such as Bethel and New Richmond. If you ever wanna see 30,000 white suburban wanna-be thug teens, go to GABP on a $1 hot dog day. Yikes. It really is funny, though. When the Cubs are visiting Cincy, I'll go to a game and well over 50% of the crowd is Cubs fans. They cheer loud for their team and enjoy themselves. It's typically the Reds fans that are bitter, booing and hollering about "100 more years" as their Reds get their butts whipped by the "Cubbies". And then on the way home, I put on 700 WLW and have to listen to Marty piss and moan about the "rowdy" Cubs fans who take over "their" ballpark and "cause trouble," and I have to wonder if he was even paying attention the whole time. As if Marty would know, perched way up in the booth, no where near the actual crowd. What a classless tool that guy is. And don't even get me started on Brantley. That guy ought to get a job mowing lawns or driving a bus or something, he doesn't belong anywhere near a microphone. But he broadcasts for the "rootin' tootin'" Reds so maybe it all makes sense. For a team with such a rich history, shiny new ballpark, and a new manager with such a "winning" career, you'd think more people would come to the games. I can't complain, though. I can go to any Reds home game, buy a $5 nosebleed, and have my choice of pretty much any seat in the house.

I'm sure all nine of their fans would get pissed off. And I'm certain they'd all remind us of how Cincinnati is the "birthplace of baseball" and such a wonderful "baseball mecca" while chanting "1908" and "Bartman" ad nauseum. All the while forgetting that there are few teams that have been more consistently atrocious than their Reds have in the past decade and a half. Cincinnati's such a cowtown, I don't what these clowns are bragging about. It seems to me that when I go to GABP, the Reds fans there are more interested in trashing the opposing team than cheering on their own. If being outnumbered at your own home games bothers you so much, FILL THE SEATS.

What a tool. Him and that hillbilly Brantley are so bitter. They know they're on their way to another losing season, as always. If you ever want to see 12,500 bitter rednecks in one place, head out to GABP.

Anybody else watching the Reds' TV broadcast on FSN Ohio? Sour grapes, Welsh/Brennaman. "Throwing the ball back onto the field is a tradition that started here at Wrigley, and frankly, I'm getting tired of it." Hate these two bozos...

That is absolutely amazing. I thought this thread was a joke at first. Corey AND Hairston. That's too perfect. "Dusty, select a category." "I'll take 'Neifi Perez' for the Trifecta, Alex."

Everyone over at reds.com are wetting themselves over this signing. They think this signing is going to put them into the playoffs. So now they have their $46 million "proven closer" but they still only have 1.5 "proven" starting pitchers. Gotta love Reds fans....they're as fairweather and delusional as they come.

Most Reds "fans" don't follow the team or go to games unless the Reds are winning anyways (or on $1 hot dog days or Bobblehead giveaway nights.) Most of them know nothing about baseball and have been trying to run Adam Dunn out of town for years. Hard to feel sorry for them.

I'm gonna be honest, I'm thrilled about this. I don't think it could have happened to a better fanbase. They don't come any more "fairweather" than Cincy sports fans (baseball and football alike).

I am really not looking forward to rooting for this roster next year. I've lost a lot of respect for our "big three" and I'm pissed off at the amount of time and emotion that I've invested in this team this season. I didn't feel this way after game seven in '03. I was sad and disappointed...I loved the team that year and I wanted them to win. I looked forward to '04. This team I'm just pissed at. I don't want to root for these losers next season, but we're stuck with all of them for a long time. They were too content with just winning the division, apparently.
