semiotter Posted May 9, 2010 Report Share Posted May 9, 2010 This is gonna be a interesting series for the 2nd place REDS vrs the 3rd place Pirates. The last time we went to Pitt they got spanked by Pitt. So it will be inteesting to see how the Reds do this time. We need to win to keep there good streak going.

skyline Posted May 9, 2010 Report Share Posted May 9, 2010 Doing well in this series could be a huge confidence boost for them. I'm still sore over being swept last time, and I'm not on the team! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
semiotter Posted May 10, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2010 Yes I agree with you on this. The last time the looked like a little leauge team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
semiotter Posted May 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2010 Good pitching + clutch hitting = Reds 2-1 win. Sweeeeeeeeet!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BengalszoneBilly Posted May 11, 2010 Report Share Posted May 11, 2010 I'm still sore over being swept last timeWell that's not happening in this series. The Reds eeked out a one run win. I have to say Cordero gave me the willies putting two men on in the bottom of the 9th! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArmyBengal Posted May 11, 2010 Report Share Posted May 11, 2010 Yeah, I thought Cordero was going to blow his opportunity there in the bottom of the 9th, but they got the win.Nice pitching by Arroyo tonight as well.In regards to the thread title, I only think this is a big series if you mean it's one they should win. The Pirates are still a sub par team and the fact they swept us last series says more about how poorly the Reds were playing, as opposed to how good the Pirates are as a team. The Reds should win this series, if not sweep them. The Reds simply have to continue playing well against teams they should either beat or at least compete with and then find a way to win a series or so against the better teams in the NL.Good job tonight, but I'm sorry for not being on board at this point in time even though I'm hoping and rooting for the best...Big series ?? The Cardinals are coming up again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skyline Posted May 11, 2010 Report Share Posted May 11, 2010 The Reds should win this series, if not sweep them. Exactly. Nobody is saying the Reds are legit if they can beat the lowly Pirates. But, beating teams you're supposed to beat is a welcome sign at this point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redsbengalsbucks Posted May 11, 2010 Report Share Posted May 11, 2010 Coming in to the series the Pirates are playing ball as well as the Reds and challenging in the division. The Reds need to win this series and put the Bucs in the rightful place, while advancing thier own chances of a winning season.I agree that this is a big series, but every series is a must win and very big if they want to end the season anywhere near contention.The St. Louis series is bigger yes, but not all that much more important than any other. To quote Al Davis, "Just win, Baby". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArmyBengal Posted May 11, 2010 Report Share Posted May 11, 2010 Agree the Reds beating teams they should beat is welcome, but the Pirates still suck, regardless of them stringing some wins against sh*ttier teams than them together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So we do need to get it done against them and worry about winning one day at a time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weathers would put 2-3 guys on everytime he pitched an inning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ouch....Oh they are young and bad!! They got a 9 game stretch at home now and start out losing against Sea. They are not hitting, cept for Wiggington and the young Ps are getting hammered more than winning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
semiotter Posted May 12, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2010 Reds sweep!!! Homer gets the """W""" Votto and Stubs with big flys and team still hitting. After Thursday off its time for the Redbirds to come in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BengalszoneBilly Posted May 13, 2010 Report Share Posted May 13, 2010 Reds sweep!!!It's a bit more than a sweep!The Reds became the first team in the majors in nearly 10 years to pitch back-to-back, complete-game shutouts without a walk—Oakland’s Tim Hudson(notes) and Barry Zito(notes) did it on Sept. 9-10, 2000, against Tampa Bay, according to STATS LLC.Now thats encouraging!

Pitt got only one run in three games and I doubt they got ten hits in the series. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
