9/9/08 Reds (Ramirez) at Brewers (Suppan): 7:05 PM CDT

At this point, I'm not even surprised we only scored one run that inning.

[SeriesFinale]

These guys pull the carpet out from under you better than almost any team I've ever been a fan of

[GormanHarvey]

Thats us! Nice work guys! Way to let him wriggle off the hook. Its what we do

[dlk9s]

If I did the calculations correctly, that was the maximum number of players that could bat in an inning and only have one runner cross the plate.

[fondybrewfan]

Well I certainly didn't see that coming. I would say no to swinging at the first pitch after the guy goes to a full count on like 4 consecutive batters

[Gobias Industries]

I get the feeling Bill Hall is just happy to put the ball in play against RHP.

[GormanHarvey]

Just curious who's rooting for the Cubs and who's rooting for the Cards in that series? I, for one, haven't given up on winning the Central yet

[ELCABALLO45]

Is it bad that im getting depressed watching this?

I wish our offense would be good again

[ELCABALLO45]

Thats good stuff right there with Simba.

[trwi7]

A Weeks popup? That's just stunning.

[Vgmastr]

Why in the heck does Hardy have a green light on 3-0?

[wibadgers23]

Ramirez has thrown 57 pitches through 2 innings and we have a grand total of 1 run. Doesn't Cincy have a pretty good bullpen? We're gonna chase Ramirez early, but then their bullpen will shut us down the rest of the game.

[fondybrewfan]

This game has all the making of a late inning melt down because we go like 1-16 with RISP. I can see Gagne getting booed already.

 

Prove me wrong you stupid suckers.

[ELCABALLO45]

What are we doing?

[crewcrazy]

Cincinnati's bullpen: 3.76 ERA, 473.1 IP, 486 H, 198 ER, 226 R, 186 BB, 413 K, .266 BAA

Looks like they're okay, but not unbeatable.

Edit: Posting entirely in pink is a pain in the butt. I can't just use quick post like I usually do.

haha, yeah I know. I was thinking about doing pink again tomorrow if we won, but I don't think so anymore. As a side note, Florida has scored 10 runs and Philly 8 runs through 5 1/3 innings tonight. We have scored 20 runs the past 8 games.

[trwi7]

Brian's man crush on Joey Votto is very disturbing. Almost as disturbing as Daron Sutton's on David Eckstein.

[TauPentaRei]

Series in Philly is going to be like Shockwave... just going to rattle your head back and forth mercilessly between the headrests.

 

After falling behind 9 - 1 they are back in it with their F-350 style offense, deep into the underbelly of the Fish pen.

 

Now about this broken down Vespa we are watching...

[trwi7]

Hall is B-R-U-T-A-L

[ELCABALLO45]

Bill Hall is turning into... Ned Yost's version of Dusty Bakers obsession with Corey Patterson.

 

Hall is so bad.

Hall is so bad.

Or Neifi Perez.

[afeter]

I don't know whats more difficult to stomach this pink or the brewers right now. I really hope prince or braun can go deep in this game. This team has been lacking the long ball.

[wibadgers23]

Cincy manufactures a run with less than two outs. I sure wish we could do that.

[rluzinski]

I realize Hall had a bad situation last year (injuries and changing positions) but he's just been SO bad this year that it's hard to find an explanation. The guy has a sub .300 OBP in over 350 AB this year! Not good.
