ArmyBengal Posted July 25, 2011 Report Posted July 25, 2011 The Reds start a 4 game series with the Mets tonight at home with Leake taking the mound.I'm taking my son to the game tonight for his first Reds game and I can't wait !!!On the trading deadline side of things, there was a report on yahoo that stated the Reds were interested in:LHP Wandy Rodriguez from the Astros3rd Chone Figgins from the MarinersCF Coco Crisp from the A'sIt also states they are still interested in Ubaldo Jimenez of the Rockies.I can't say as I would be overwhelmed by any of those moves, minus Jimenez.GO REDS !!!

skyline Posted July 25, 2011 Report Posted July 25, 2011 Any depth they can get should be helpful. Injuries have been killing us this year.Have fun at the game! I'm insanely jealous (although I get to visit Cincy this weekend, so I can't be too upset).Skyline, here I come! Quote
Scottishbengal Posted July 26, 2011 Report Posted July 26, 2011 Reds beat Met in 2nd game (?) of series with a home run by Habrero in the 10th inning Quote
Stripes Posted July 26, 2011 Report Posted July 26, 2011 well two in a row was nice, i understand three is a lot to ask Quote
ArmyBengal Posted July 26, 2011 Author Report Posted July 26, 2011 Had to leave the game early, as ArmyBengal Jr. was getting to tired and was asking to leave.Thank God the tickets were free. We had a good time though. I always seem to forget how nice the views are in the ballpark.It really is a nice place to sit and take in a game.I love being back home in Cincinnati !!! Quote
BengalszoneBilly Posted July 26, 2011 Report Posted July 26, 2011 well two in a row was nice, i understand three is a lot to askWould have been nice though. Quote
cincyhokie Posted July 26, 2011 Report Posted July 26, 2011 well two in a row was nice, i understand three is a lot to askYes, the "streak" is in jeopardy. Quote
ArmyBengal Posted July 26, 2011 Author Report Posted July 26, 2011 Well, it couldn't last forever. I mean it had to come to an end sometime.Time to start fresh and start a new streak.Good God.On another side note, I had forgotten how much things can get when going to the game.2 bottles of water (purchased outside the gate)Nachos w/ cheese and jalapenos1 calzone1 slice of pizza1 large coke1 bag of popcorn$32.00 (Good God again) Quote
cincyhokie Posted July 26, 2011 Report Posted July 26, 2011 The Reds are worse than the Mets on paper and on the field. That's scary because the Mets suck.Let's face reality folks. This team is, and has been, done. Quote
BengalszoneBilly Posted July 27, 2011 Report Posted July 27, 2011 The Reds are mounting a comeback! 4-3 in the 5th!! Quote
BengalszoneBilly Posted July 27, 2011 Report Posted July 27, 2011 5-4 now.More.That was a clutch homer by Joey huh? Quote
Stripes Posted July 27, 2011 Report Posted July 27, 2011 Definitely. I'm worried about Cueto still being in there for the 6th inning with over 100 pitches already. Dusty loves to tempt fate. Quote
BengalszoneBilly Posted July 27, 2011 Report Posted July 27, 2011 And.... Cueto gives the lead right back to the Mets. :frustrated: Quote
cincyhokie Posted July 27, 2011 Report Posted July 27, 2011 Definitely. I'm worried about Cueto still being in there for the 6th inning with over 100 pitches already. Dusty loves to tempt fate.Does ANYONE honestly think that Dusty can get this team over the hump or to the next level? As long as he's around this team will underachieve. Quote
Stripes Posted July 27, 2011 Report Posted July 27, 2011 I'm more worried about him destroying our young pitchers than wins/losses this year. I think he may have already 'Dusty'd' Volquez, and s**t like this would be exactly the right way to 'Dusty' Cueto. Quote
ArmyBengal Posted July 27, 2011 Author Report Posted July 27, 2011 That was just an abortion of an effort in the field yesterday. Votto, Bruce, and Cairo all had brain farts yesterday.I know stuff like that happens, but good God that was ugly. This team is having real issues.On a side note, i'm happy to see the Reds bring Alonso up from AAA and Gomes getting traded to the Nationals.The Reds are getting two prospects from the Nationals, but getting Yonder up is a good move looking to the future.They moved him to LF and is where he will get the majority of his playing time. I'm real good with that.I had been saying they needed to improve the SS and LF position for a while and with Cozart and Alonso, it's nice to see them do it from within.Now I wonder if the pitching rotation is where they are going to focus making some moves ??

cincyhokie Posted July 28, 2011 Report Posted July 28, 2011 Anyone still awake for this thing? 8-1 Mets in the 7th. Quote
BengalszoneBilly Posted July 28, 2011 Report Posted July 28, 2011 Swept by the Mets at home!?! Inexcusable. The pitching is worse than I've seen all season. Quote
cincyhokie Posted July 28, 2011 Report Posted July 28, 2011 Swept by the Mets at home!?! Inexcusable. The pitching is worse than I've seen all season.It's a 4 game series. Don't worry the sweep comes tomorrow. It's painfully obvious that this team does not care. Sell, sell, sell. Quote
BengalszoneBilly Posted July 28, 2011 Report Posted July 28, 2011 Swept by the Mets at home!?! Inexcusable. The pitching is worse than I've seen all season.It's a 4 game series. My bad. Forgot about that. Quote
ArmyBengal Posted July 28, 2011 Author Report Posted July 28, 2011 Sell, sell, sell indeed.At this point with bringing up the youngsters, you may as well see what you can get for the future.I'm still wondering how they handle Phillip's and if they dump any salary moving forward ??Yeah, they are sucking hard.
