Actium Posted August 21, 2006 Report Posted August 21, 2006 While the last Reds-Stros series should have been make or break for the Stros, it wasn't simply because of the NL's terribleness. Now this one might really be make or break. The Stros have been treading the waters of sub-mediocrity for a while now, but are somehow still in it. It's like having a loved one in a coma they will never come out of--you almost want them to die so they can have peace and you can move on, but as long as the heart beats there is the slight hope they shall awaken.

And it looks like the Astros came to play....maybe the reds can dust off their bats to win it and you can come up with some more of those colorful nicknames for your squad....

I especially liked your "Sinking Fastros".
Guest CincyInDC Posted August 22, 2006 Report Posted August 22, 2006 Just curious...why no Hatteberg tonight? Just a night off or what?

Actium Posted August 22, 2006 Report Posted August 22, 2006 The Reds are a much better team than the Astros this year. I hope you guys make it to the playoffs and do well.

JBandJoeyV Posted August 22, 2006 Report Posted August 22, 2006 Great win for the redlegs!!! 2.5 up in the wildcard race right now on philly, zona, and sd...sd and zona are both losing by 1 in the middle innings of their games.

It was actually Valentin with a Clayton mask on, right?
JBandJoeyV Posted August 22, 2006 Report Posted August 22, 2006 clayton belongs with larue...on the bench as for his game winning hit, everybody gets a hit once in a while, he just happened to get lucky tonight

JBandJoeyV Posted August 22, 2006 Report Posted August 22, 2006 oh dont get me wrong i root for any player on the reds, but i just hate rooting for like larue and watching him ground into double plays with bases loaded adn 1 out
