ArmyBengal Posted May 16, 2011 Report Posted May 16, 2011 New series starts tonight against the Cubs.Bailey is back on the mound and Zambrano is throwing for the Cubs.GO REDS !!! Quote
redsbengalsbucks Posted May 16, 2011 Report Posted May 16, 2011 Hopefully, the Reds bats drive big Z crazy. Carpenter was a more than a little upset yesterday and it was great. Quote
BengalszoneBilly Posted May 17, 2011 Report Posted May 17, 2011 Billy gets home from work and checks the scores, the Reds are down 4-0. Goes to kitchen to make a cocktail and help with dinner, comes back to computer and the Reds lead 5-4! I LOVE this team. Quote
BengalszoneBilly Posted May 17, 2011 Report Posted May 17, 2011 A really different kind of win tonight, but I'll take it. Batting around the order in the 6th inning and putting 7 up on the board was awesome! Quote
redsbengalsbucks Posted May 17, 2011 Report Posted May 17, 2011 Big Z lost it last night, after he was taken out. He was yelling at a coach and left the dugout before they got the third out.Love the way this team is playing right now. Quote
ArmyBengal Posted May 17, 2011 Author Report Posted May 17, 2011 Yeah you have to love that kind of win and I really do enjoy beating the Cubs.I don't know what the hell the Cubs manager (Quade) was thinking leaving Zambrano in that long ??He had a 4 run lead and allowed NINE straight hitters to reach base.I mean after six straight you have already lost at least half the lead, what the hell was he waiting for ??Oh well, nice to take advantage of poorly managed games by the opposition.Only a two game series with another two gamer against the Pirates coming up.

semiotter Posted May 17, 2011 Report Posted May 17, 2011 I really feel like they are going on a Hot streak. Quote
BengalszoneBilly Posted May 17, 2011 Report Posted May 17, 2011 I really feel like they are going on a Hot streak.Not with Volquez serving up three run gopher balls in the 1st innings of his games... Quote
Stripes Posted May 18, 2011 Report Posted May 18, 2011 Volquez needs to hire a 1st inning stunt double. Quote
ArmyBengal Posted May 18, 2011 Author Report Posted May 18, 2011 Volquez needs to be clown punched everytime he gives up runs in the 1st.Seriously though, he should get sent down to triple A to work on sh*t.Bring Leake back up. Quote
semiotter Posted May 18, 2011 Report Posted May 18, 2011 Man this is the same old story with this guy!!! Quote
BengalszoneBilly Posted May 18, 2011 Report Posted May 18, 2011 Man this is the same old story with this guy!!!Well this ain't the same old story... Volquez puts a ball in play that nets 3 runs. Game tied. Unbelievable! Quote
BengalszoneBilly Posted May 18, 2011 Report Posted May 18, 2011 Arredondo sure as hell isn't impressing me. Just walked in the go ahead run for the Cubs. Quote
Stripes Posted May 18, 2011 Report Posted May 18, 2011 Reds take the lead again on another Cubs error! Quote
BengalszoneBilly Posted May 18, 2011 Report Posted May 18, 2011 Unreal...The Reds just took the lead in the bottom of the 8th on errors and fielders choices, then Votto doubles!!! 7-5 Reds!!! Quote
Stripes Posted May 18, 2011 Report Posted May 18, 2011 Reds win again! Gotta love it when everything is going our way. Quote
BengalszoneBilly Posted May 18, 2011 Report Posted May 18, 2011 Gotta love it when everything is going our way.I do, but it feels kinda weird. Not used to this s**t. Quote
Sea Ray Posted May 18, 2011 Report Posted May 18, 2011 Unreal...The Reds just took the lead in the bottom of the 8th on errors and fielders choices, then Votto doubles!!! 7-5 Reds!!! OK, so who's defense sucks more, Cardinals or Cubs? Quote

OK, so who's defense sucks more, Cardinals or Cubs?That's easy. The Cubs hands down. The Reds Scored 7 unearned runs tonight to steal a win.Thanks Chicago!!! Quote
semiotter Posted May 18, 2011 Report Posted May 18, 2011 Hot Hot Hot! (And a little luck don't hurt). Quote
ArmyBengal Posted May 18, 2011 Author Report Posted May 18, 2011 Funny thing.I just got done feeding the baby when Rolen came up to bat in the bottom of the 8th. When I stood up, he drew the walk. Well needless to say the baseball superstition gods demanded I stay standing because something great was about to happen. Then you had Kerry Wood throwing the ball down the 3rd base line. Priceless.I stayed standing with the little one until the inning was over.Thanks baseball superstition gods !!!Oh yeah, the undiscipline play of the Cubs is going to cost Quade his job before the break !!!

skyline Posted May 18, 2011 Report Posted May 18, 2011 The teacher in the classroom next to me is a die hard Cubs fan. ............Poor guy Quote

OK, so who's defense sucks more, Cardinals or Cubs?That's easy. The Cubs hands down. The Reds Scored 7 unearned runs tonight to steal a win.Thanks Chicago!!! We've seen piss poor defense from the Brewers, Cardinals and Cubs so far this year. If you were to make a Gold Glove NL Central team I think the Reds would win every position except for LF and that includes Bronson getting the nod as the Pitcher Quote
Sea Ray Posted May 18, 2011 Report Posted May 18, 2011 One thing about big cities is the Press shows no mercy. Here's a hilarious read. Here are some excerpts:This is embarrassing, even for the Cubs. On Tuesday night, the Cubs choked away a 3-0 lead, which is progress, I guess. The Keystone Cubs gave back all those runs when they made two errors on one play that included a cutoff of about two feet and a relay throw into the camera well. The Keystone Cubs gave the Reds the game in the seventh when Kerry Wood threw a bunt into the left-field corner after Aramis Ramirez stayed on the bag at third...The fans figured out early that the team is bad. Fans also might think the rookie manager is overmatched, but the real disaster is the new owner and his decision to retain general manager Jim Hendry. It’s also ridiculous that Tom Ricketts retained team president Clown Kenney, but that’s not something fans generally react to. But the GM who assembled this overpaid, underachieving, retch-inducing roster, THAT’S what fans react to...The fan who bought the franchise from the corporation has turned off the fans. Can we get some big red shoes and big red noses for the owner’s suite?...The Cubs have a roster of mismatched parts because of mismanagement. Last offseason, Ricketts told fans he would shift money from payroll to scouting and development, and then his general manager traded three of his top prospects for a pitcher who could cost this fifth-place team $15 million this year and next...Mixed messages? Miscommunication? Can we get a hummena-hummena-hummena out of Ricketts?But I suppose it figures that if upper management can’t do the basics, then the team on the field shouldn’t be expected to throw and catch the ball, either.>http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/rosenblog/chi-chicago-cubs-players-pants-manager-mike-quade-20110518,0,5472277.column Quote
