JBandJoeyV Posted May 10, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2010 Big reason we are over .500: We are first in the NL and 2nd in the majors in hitting w/RISP and 2 outs...batting .306. Pretty impressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jason Posted May 11, 2010 Report Share Posted May 11, 2010 Johnny beat the tag, but it doesn't matter. Coco got it done. But he made it a little too interesting for my taste. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Scales Posted May 11, 2010 Report Share Posted May 11, 2010 Here's to a sweep of shitsbooger! 2 games over .500 and 3 back of the Cardinals. Over the last 10 games or so they have been playing winning ball. Your right CJ and RJ Joey's 3 run tater against the cubs on Sunday was monsterous. I do not like the Cardinals. I hope they go on a nice long losing steak. I voted that the Reds Pitcher most likely to pitch a perfect game (last nights T.V. poll question) would be Mike Leake.

Jason Posted May 11, 2010 Report Share Posted May 11, 2010 I agree with you on Leake. He's the only guy that I think has good enough control to throw a perfect game. I think Cueto or Volquez could no hit someone, but I don't think either is pitch efficient enough to be "perfect". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

|Bunghole| Posted May 12, 2010 Report Share Posted May 12, 2010 I hope winning becomes contagious for the pitching staff. Its really on them if the Reds are going to do anything to unseat the Redbirds this year. I still refuse to get my hopes up or get too excited about the Reds until they show me something after the all-star break, which is typically meltdown time for our team. **crosses fingers** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
