ArmyBengal Posted July 27, 2009 Report Share Posted July 27, 2009 Well the Reds kick off a 4 game set with a team that is worse than they are. Hopefully they can avoid a repeat occurance with the Padres where they got swept in their last series.On the mound for games 1-4 are:BaileyArroyoHarangCuetoThis team is also a walking DL, which isn't helping matters either. Go Reds... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
semiotter Posted July 27, 2009 Report Share Posted July 27, 2009 Well Army the second worst team in the leauge comes to town and we will really see how much we really stink. If we can't sweep this club at home we are done. And with the starter we are going with tonight we are looking bad. I'm out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArmyBengal Posted July 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 27, 2009 Yep, even though we are currently 7.5 games out, if we blow this series, I think it's officially all over for all intents and purposes.Dusty made a comment about not having their spirit broken, but I think they are just about there...

ArmyBengal Posted July 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2009 The Reds come out of their slump to hit 4 homeruns and get a win against a sorry ass Padres club.Homer gets a win after going 7.1 innings and giving up 3 runs on 6 hits.Thank God for those 4 homers as they made their 5 total hits for the game count.Oh yeah, Votto got tossed in the 1st after arguing a call. Frustration anyone ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
semiotter Posted July 28, 2009 Report Share Posted July 28, 2009 Oh Army that's one win and three to go. Just to change the Reds talk. Did any of you see the catch in the Pirate game last night?? Well the outfielder tried to make a diving catch and the ball hit off his glove then his foot and a diving Delvin Young the 2nd baseman barehanded it for the out Wow great catch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArmyBengal Posted July 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2009 I didn't see the catch, but it sounds like a good one...Yeah, one game at a time, but they are playing the Padres. They should be winning these, but sadly, it's not so sure anymore... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
semiotter Posted July 28, 2009 Report Share Posted July 28, 2009 Like u said Army 5 hits and 4 were homers. We won't do that to offten Hey Homer on the mound and Homers off their bats that was a winning combo last night Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArmyBengal Posted July 29, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2009 Well, the Reds drop the 2nd game 3-2 tonight.When the top 4 in the batting order go a combined 1-12. You aren't going to win many games.Funny how we were saying all they had to do was at least keep it close and now things look like they might get ugly and the winning season lost.

rwalling Posted July 29, 2009 Report Share Posted July 29, 2009 Yet again good old DustBag leaves a starter in for almost 120 pitches and the winning run is scored in the starter's last inning. Will this idiot ever learn? How much more of this incompetence can Mr. Fruit and Walt stand? If I owned the Reds, my first acts would be to fire Dusty and former porn star Dick Pole.

semiotter Posted July 30, 2009 Report Share Posted July 30, 2009 OMG one freaking hit!!! It only gets better for these Reds. You could through the BengalZone All-Stars out there and got one hit. Hell Aaron if you don't want to pitch for the Reds anymore ask to be traded. Hell a change would do everyone good. I'm out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArmyBengal Posted July 30, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2009 So after losing yesterday 7-1, they are following it up with being down 6-1 in the top of the 7th.Good God, the ugly I was speaking of not long ago, seems to be upon us. When the worst team in the league looks forward to the Reds coming to town, it's time to pack it in.Someone needs to take responsibility for this mess that the Reds have become, because it wasn't long ago they were 5 games over .500.

ArmyBengal Posted July 30, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2009 7-4 was the final and the Reds end up dropping 3 of 4 to the Padres.Sad... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redsfan2 Posted July 31, 2009 Report Share Posted July 31, 2009 So after losing yesterday 7-1, they are following it up with being down 6-1 in the top of the 7th.Good God, the ugly I was speaking of not long ago, seems to be upon us. When the worst team in the league looks forward to the Reds coming to town, it's time to pack it in.Someone needs to take responsibility for this mess that the Reds have become, because it wasn't long ago they were 5 games over .500.I think its pretty clear that Dusty has lost this team. Now ... I readily admit that the Reds shortcomings were exposed in the games with the Phillies and other upper echelon teams BUT having said that they are now not even competing with teams that they should be on a par with. Losses to better teams are an unpleasent fact of life. Going prostrate to other .500 ( or worse ) teams in the first inning lands smack in the lap of management.
