April 11, 200817 yr comment_651446 I'd agree with you. He does look skinnier. It breaks my heart knowing the good guys are playing in Pissburgh.
April 12, 200817 yr comment_651458 anyone know of a website where you can subscribe to a text alert when the rain delay is over?
April 12, 200817 yr comment_651459 [quote name='Jason' post='651444' date='Apr 11 2008, 07:43 PM']Is it me, or does Dunn look like he has lost some weight?[/quote] I've noticed that Dunn, Harang, and Weathers all look slimmer this season.

April 12, 200817 yr Author comment_651465 After beating good teams like the D-backs and Brewers, we will lose 2 of 3 to the Parrots.

We have been pretty resilient so far this season, and just because we lose the first game of a series deosn't mean shit. I am concerned about the number of batters LOB, but we did only lose 1-0. It's not like you're going to see that out of the Reds offense al year. The real question is whether this good pitching we've been enjoying will hold up over 162 games....

If you would quit making predictions, then they won't come true! Still, it sucks to open the season the way we did against playoff-level teams, pitch relatively well like we have (Arroyo and Fogg's 1st outing aside) and lose these squeakers to a shitty team like The Pirates. This is reconfirming my notion that somehow the Reds in recent years manage to play to their level of competition. The Brewers have hurt us SO bad in times past when they were shitty, and now that they are good, we beat them, but we can't beat the fucking Pirates. And these last two games were one-run games, too. Dammit. I know it's early. The Reds are at .500. They've pitched relatively well. But dammit, where is that offense when we need it? Aside from Patterson ( a pleasant surprise), Keppinger and Griffey, nobody is really hitting well. Votto seems to be coming along lately, but he isn't proven yet. Where is Dunn, Hatteburg, Philips, EE when we need them? Dammit. I am overstating our offensive woes because it is early in the season, but I really wanted this one, and it was so winnable, given our propensity to leave ROB. Dammit.

Dammit.[/quote] Looks like losing Josh hamiltons Batting avg. might be taking its toll. No seriously though. The fundamentals are killing this team. Not being able to hit sac flys, not being able to bunt runners over. Both of these things are critical to manufacture runs. And the reds are so HR. hungry it seems. ME ME ME> They cant do any of them. Dusty needs to crack their asses and having these guys practice bunts and sac fly situations like theres no tomorrow. Im deeply saddened for the reds. I was away on vaca and didnt get to watch any of the games. 1st game i was PISSED 2nd Game i was EVEN MORE PISSED. 3rd game sweep. I was just sad. And didnt want to come home.
April 14, 200817 yr comment_652048 Aw Hell Naw! Swept by Pitts bug? I think ol Phillips, while I like his game, needs to concentrate on the positive aspects of this little thing they call Patience.

But phillips doesnt need near as much as some of the other players. I just looked up the stats to see who pitched on sunday. CUETO!>? I hope he hasnt lost his confidence. He needs to work on not giving up so many hr's. Numerous teams have hurt him now with that.
April 14, 200817 yr comment_652051 Oh No you didn't Brandon is the first pitch swinging champ. Edwin? It usually takes him a good 3 months to get good and warmed up for the season. First inning yester day...2 on none out...did we get a run? no 2 on and none out and not one stinking run? That happens WAY too often.

No one guy is this teams biggest problem. Dusty needs to bitch slap the whole team and lets get back to fundamentals on manufacturing runs. BUNTING and contact hitting.

They are veterans too and shouldn't have these problems like a 3 year player Edwin does.
