Let's Go Baseball!
Oswalt calls his change up a "vulcan" change up because of how he holds it

That’s pretty nerdy

No no-hitter for Oswalt
HA!

Brandon Phillips must be a little pissed off.

Umm, how was that a ball
I'm a fan of Corky Miller's facial hair
Go Reds!

Don’t really like ‘em, but they’re less annoying than Philly or their fans.

Hey look, it's Jax Teller on the mound!
Oswalt having a case of the kazmirs.
And Utley having a case of the Aybars
May the best team win this game
May the team who scores more runs than the other team in his particular game win
May the team that scores more runs have a 'R' on their caps
OK that was dumb, make that a 'C'
Man, those swings aren't even close to the ball.
Hack, hack, hack

At least this is more like a real ballgame than the pitching perfect extravaganzas so far.

Hack, hack hack.....

That sounds like the Halos plate discipline.

hack, hacker, Hatcher
post season without our beloved LAA really sucks.......

Might as well watch season 3 of Dexter .

BTW who would Dexter eliminate from the 2010 LAA ?

HMMMMMMMMMMMM

Huge Double play
Is Rollins still considered a good baseball player?
By casual fans, yes

Not by people who actually see how he plays.

That's what I thought

That pitch had FAIL written all over it according to Gameday.

He's also considered good by the TBS announcers
Rollins is considered good

By all the same people that think Derek Jeter is a great defensive SS.

Is Brandon Phillips going to be available?
No, but I'm pretty sure his little bro is around our minors somewhere... ;)
Trade for him

Give them Tony Reagins in exchange.

That would really be shorting them
I was thinking we could give them DOV
I'd accept a much worse player than Phillips

If it meant getting rid of DOV

As far as I know he is single, yes
This guy (Brown) denied a kid an autograph right in front of me at the Futures Game

He was a Red Sox fan, so I was cool with it.

Roughly how old was the kid?
Maybe like 9 or 10

I’m not sure really. Most kids just look small, expensive and kind of annoying to me.

Spoken like a man without kids.

Or way too many kids! ;)

I was much luckier

Brown signed my program. Now, Desmond Jennings of the Rays? He was a jerk.

Really?

I got Conger, Moustakas and Hosmer to sign my ticket. Brown’s objection to this kid was that he just had a blank piece of paper.

I also got Conger's as well as ESPN sideline reporter Erin Andrews

Not sure why Jennings skipped me up. Oh Well.

Good defense Reds
Lacky would have fallen down and given up a slam by now.
Wheres the

“Cuban Missile”?

Reds imploding right now
They should let Arroyo go one more and then just hand it to Chapman.
So the OC Register has this "14 Reasons to Hope" article and it mentions the starting rotation and some other players as well as a few prospects.

Then it mentions potential FA signings, like Crawford and Downs. And then they out of nowhere come up with Chris Young(the pitcher) and John Buck.

http://www.ocregister.com/sports/angels-269985-way-reasons.html

I really don’t see the point in either of them.

A Mark Whicker classic
It's by Mark Whicker,

Since when do any of his articles have a point?

John Buck is an even worse idea than David Eckstein

Congratulations, Whick!

Wow, Buck has more HRs, 20, than walks, 16.

That’s impressive

I like how the one comment about this article on the OCR site

Is some guy claiming that John Buck is terrible at handling a pitching staff. Actually, John Buck is just terrible, period.

Hey, why did they pinch-hit for O-Cab?

Seems a strange thing to do with the lead.

He hurt his oblique
Another one of those hard slides into second on a double-play ball
Arroyo looks like Kid Rock.
They have both released shitty albums

But Arroyo is better at pitching than Kid Rock.

Reds trying their best not to win
Yeah, but we're about to see a Cuban defector who throws 105

Baseball = cool.

roll call

it’s weird coming in here and there only being 60+ posts.

Everybody is hibernating for the winter
where did that hit him?
Looked like it might have hit his wrist

Looked like the wrist.

Awesome AB from Howard there
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahah

CHOKE

I can't believe he missed that catch
I missed the play at 2nd.

Was he out or safe?

safe
Gracias.

I wasn’t sure if it was a disputed call.

the reds let the phillies back in this game....
Brandon Phillips' glove isn't where his mouth is tonight
yikes Chapman only goes 2/3
Just a guess, but I think the Phillies were sitting on the fastball
HEY.... that's our music for the monkey....
C'mon Reds, get it together.
Bigger Chokers in this postseason thus far: Twins or Reds?
Reds. No-hit and then they've handed the Phillies a bunch of runs after taking the lead tonight.

Twins haven’t done anything as embarrassing as that.

Giants are wearing Orange tonight
Nice job Posey and Sandoval
sandoval is no little guy to collide with
