Reds Versus Cardinals: The Battle for Biggest Disappointment

At first blush, I think it's hard to look at this Cardinals team and think that a bigger disappointment could exist. I mean, they're coming off the World Series championship, after all. But then again, you saw their off-season moves and you sorta knew this was coming. The Reds have talent coming out of their asses. Also, these Cards are somehow in second place while the Reds reside in the cellar.
Nevertheless, the FSNO pregame guys are acting like things are on the rebound. I believe Jeff Piecoro just used the phrase “things looked bleak.” Looked. As in, past tense. Implying that they no longer look bleak.
Better, though, was what Chris Welsh just said: the bullpen is like castor oil. He continued the metaphor to say that it was OK a little at a time, but failed to say that too much gives you runs. The Crafty Lefty failed to bring it home.
So, Homer Bailey's coming up and will be starting on Friday. Ought to make for some nice Simpsons references in the Smack Talk that day.
Don’t worry everyone; Majewski’s in.
How would it feel to be the subject of your team’s grievance filed with MLB. Is there pressure to continue being bad to really drive home the point that the Reds got screwed?
I’m going to stick it out a little longer, despite it being an hour later here. Self-inflicted suffering must be my thing tonight.
Sleep tight. Give a get well soon to the kitty for me.
Reds tied in the top of the ninth. One on and Conine swinging for the fences. This is usually my cue to fall asleep with the laptop on my belly to have the CTS wake me up to say the Reds lost.
Let’s see if my staying awake makes this into a different experience for me.
time for a LLM homerun….
C’mon Javy. :pray:
Good eye, little man.
C’mon Alex. :pray:
or a walk…
Ack! It’s a K!!
The Reds have now stranded 15 this game. Damn.
Burton’s in with the possibility of extra innings looming large. Of course he’s on his way to taking care of that with walking the first guy.
Wow, Narron’s taking him out. Coutlangus gets the chance to mess it up.
Where’s McBeth? Is he ever going to see the light of day?
Maybe they don’t want to risk his ERA with Javy behind the plate.
I’m not going to make it much longer. I’m drifting off… :doze:
Well, there you go. I’m glad I fell asleep.
Goodnight, everyone.
That sucked. 😛
We’ll both be at the game tonight AND tomorrow! No smack 🙁
