DAngerer09 Posted October 14, 2007 Share Posted October 14, 2007 Bad move, Reds. Hey, it's what the Reds do best. Let's sign Mike Stanton. Let's pay Ryan Freel 3-4 million dollars per year to be a 4th outfielder. Let's not bring up young players and get their feet wet when we are 20 games out of the playoff hunt. Let's sign Chris Hammond. Let's give Eric Milton 9 million dollars to give up more homeruns than anyone else. I have a lot of problems with a lot of the moves my favorite team makes. I just hope Walt Jockety accepts the Reds offer to become CEO and head of baseball operations. That would offset the Dusty Baker move. Link to post Share on other sites
Lammycat Posted October 14, 2007 Share Posted October 14, 2007 I can't stand these AL 4.5 hour games. After watching so much exciting college football, baseball is just drags.An extra-innings game in a league championship is boring? It was long, yes. Good baseball to watch, though.

Lammycat Posted October 14, 2007 Share Posted October 14, 2007 Also: I see that Gagne had a hand in the 11th-inning meltdown. Why am I not surprised? ...though he was only responsible for two of the runs. What happened to Lopez and Lester? Too much time hanging out in the bullpen with Gagne?The meltdown included Lester and Lopez, yes. Gagne continues to be put on the mound (who knows why?) but the Lester/Lopez bed-shitting isn't a thing Red Sox fans are accustomed to. It was a bad night for all three of those guys and hopefully the day off allows for some re-grouping. Wish the outcome was different, but I enjoyed the game regardless.

Sir Stewart Posted October 14, 2007 Share Posted October 14, 2007 I think I've grown to love Buck & McCarver, but I blame Stockholm Syndrome. I actually laughed when Buck said, when it was 6-6 in the 9th: "This is what Dane Cook has been screaming about." Link to post Share on other sites

MrRain422 Posted October 15, 2007 Share Posted October 15, 2007 Yeah, my thoughts exactly. We have a really young team and Baker is not a good fit for this club. Teams that are bad for long periods of time get that way by making stupid personnel decisions. I think that Dusty Backer is a perfect fit for the organization. It makes total sense. I think I've grown to love Buck & McCarver, but I blame Stockholm Syndrome. I actually laughed when Buck said, when it was 6-6 in the 9th: "This is what Dane Cook has been screaming about." Sort of glad I missed this. I think I would have thrown something at my television. They are the best evidence out there that Fox hates baseball. Link to post Share on other sites
