ArmyBengal Posted August 12, 2006 Report Share Posted August 12, 2006 Well, we lost a long one in 14 innings to open the Phillies series, but this is what we have left...2 more at the Phillies3 at the Cardinals3 with the Pirates at home 3 with the Astros at home4 at the Giants3 at the DodgersWe seemed to do better on the road, but we are only 2 games above .500 on the road for the year and right at .500 at home. We have lost 7 of our last 11 and need to pullit together and SOON !!! Obviously the Cards series is going to be a big one again as usual, but the Astros are pulling close again and the Dodgers took it to us the last series. The month of September appears to be better as far as the ease of schedule, but once again, we have to stop bullsh*tting around and start putting it to these guys if we are going to make a serious run at the playoffs. What do you guys think about this one ??WHODEY !!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
semiotter Posted August 12, 2006 Report Share Posted August 12, 2006 Yeah theres them DAMN Astros again every year bout this time. Its gonna be tough sledding from here on out... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArmyBengal Posted August 12, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2006 I think the remainder of August will be harder than the month of September. We have two series with the Padres and another series with the Astros, but besides that, pretty benign as I can see it. Although hot streaks come and go and some teams can play spoiler...WHODEY !!!

semiotter Posted August 12, 2006 Report Share Posted August 12, 2006 Hey Army, I think Roger sits out the last 2 first halves of the season on purpose so he can be fresh the second half...What you think...smart move huh??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArmyBengal Posted August 13, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2006 The Reds get the win 9-7 tonight... Freel goes 2-4 with 3 RBI's and Phillips goes 3-4 with a homer. Michalak gets the win. I know I've been gone for a week, but who the hell is Michalak ??? WHODEY !!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know I've been gone for a week, but who the hell is Michalak ??? WHODEY !!!They just called him up from AAA today. He was a starter there, will be middle relief here. Mercker is back on the DL, which prompted the move, I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArmyBengal Posted August 13, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2006 Well, "Everyday Eddie" gave up a homer, but still got the save, so that's good. Thanks for the info !!!WHODEY !!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I was pretty disappointed last night, but hey...it's baseball, it happens. Here's hoping they bounce back tonight.I'll tell you what, though. If our top pitchers don't start picking things up soon, it's going to be a really rough ride. They haven't done much of anything for quite a while now.

ArmyBengal Posted August 17, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2006 Speak of the devil...Arroyo gets his 10th win tonight with the help of 5 homers...Dunn, Griffey, Aurilia, and Encarnacion hit 2...WHODEY !!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
semiotter Posted August 17, 2006 Report Share Posted August 17, 2006 Edwin keeps this up he will be player of the week again!!! And thats fine with me.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArmyBengal Posted August 17, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2006 Didn't realize they had an early game today... 0-0 top of the 5th with Lohse pitching...WHODEY !!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jditty47 Posted August 17, 2006 Report Share Posted August 17, 2006 its 1-1 now in the top of the eighth...phillips just lead the inning off with a double, hopefully we take the lead. griffey hit a solo shot in the seventh for our only run. what a great at bat it was...12 pitches!!! he fouled off 7 pitches in a row prior to his homer...hes been struggling lately and his parents are both ill...but this is what he brings to the team. we had 1 hit prior to his at bat and he did all he could to get on base. hes a fighter even if he isnt as good as when he was a mariner, hes still a top player. if he gets it going down the stretch it will be awesome for us.

ArmyBengal Posted August 22, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2006 The Reds get 4 in the bottom of the 8th to take the first game against the Astros 4-3. Arroyo failed to get the win (worrysome) and Schoeneweis got the save... Gained a half game against the idle Cardinals and are now 2 games back in the Central.WHODEY !!!
