BengalszoneBilly Posted August 4, 2012 Report Posted August 4, 2012 The Reds also have one of the best defensive teams in the league and it showed last night.The game tonight is going to a stressful one with the Pirates certainly looking to plunk someone due to hitting McCoochie.You know it's coming. I see a bench clearing brawl looming tonight. Quote
Stripes Posted August 4, 2012 Report Posted August 4, 2012 Nevermind Phillips, I guess. He's still available as a pinch hitter though.We've got Navarro and Valdez both in the lineup. Hopefully Leake can even the deal with a hit or three. Quote
Stripes Posted August 4, 2012 Report Posted August 4, 2012 2-RBI single by Rolen bails out the Reds in the first; they'd almost blown the inning.2-0 Quote
Stripes Posted August 4, 2012 Report Posted August 4, 2012 Clint Hurdle gets thrown out in the 2nd inning. Man, if the Pirates have to manufacture all these shenanigans about Champan hitting McCutchen "intentionally" last night just to find some energy, then something is wrong. Isn't playing the division leader in their house in front of a sellout enough? Quote

ArmyBengal Posted August 5, 2012 Author Report Posted August 5, 2012 Game tied and looking sloppy in the process.Not worried. Quote
Stripes Posted August 5, 2012 Report Posted August 5, 2012 Battle of the bullpens now. Both have been great all year. Quote
BengalszoneBilly Posted August 5, 2012 Report Posted August 5, 2012 Battle of the bullpens now. Both have been great all year.Personally I only like Chapman. Marshall isn't too bad but I want a guy to come in and go into shutdown mode. Quote
Stripes Posted August 5, 2012 Report Posted August 5, 2012 Rolen with the Pete Rose faceplant slide triple! No outs in the 8th. Quote

ArmyBengal Posted August 5, 2012 Author Report Posted August 5, 2012 Hey Hughes, scoreboard bitch !!! Quote
Earendil Posted August 5, 2012 Report Posted August 5, 2012 Hey Hughes, scoreboard bitch !!!Who? Quote
skyline Posted August 5, 2012 Report Posted August 5, 2012 Hey Hughes, scoreboard bitch !!!Who?Their relief pitcher that gave our guy a little shove on the 1st base line. Not only that, but have you guys noticed the nasty things he does with his mouth while he's pitching? Makes my stomach turn just watching the guy... Quote
Earendil Posted August 5, 2012 Report Posted August 5, 2012 I don't get to watch the games, so all I have to go on is highlights and the MLB gamecast. That's why I have no idea what you are talking about. Quote
BengalszoneBilly Posted August 5, 2012 Report Posted August 5, 2012 Here's a little tidbit I found. The victory was the Reds’ 22nd victory in 25 games, their best such streak since the 1890s. You read it right. A LONG time ago. Simply incredible! The days of the Big Red Machine may have returned. Quote
BengalszoneBilly Posted August 5, 2012 Report Posted August 5, 2012 This pic from todays game kind of blows my mind...Is Charlie Sheen hopping on the bandwagon too? Quote
UK Bengal Posted August 5, 2012 Report Posted August 5, 2012 Charlie who ..... Oh you mean wild thing Quote
BengalszoneBilly Posted August 5, 2012 Report Posted August 5, 2012 Charlie who ..... Oh you mean wild thing Nice reference. I bet COB is a bit miffed. Quote
ArmyBengal Posted August 5, 2012 Author Report Posted August 5, 2012 Hey Hughes, scoreboard bitch !!!Who?Their relief pitcher that gave our guy a little shove on the 1st base line. Heck, he threw an elbow. They were replaying it last night, saying how he should have gotten tossed.I'm glad Navarro didn't say much about. Would have been great had he just pointed to the scoreboard. Quote
