NLCS GAME 3

nlt-andrew68 — Sun, 12 Oct 2008 17:11:09 -0000

Time for a new game thread, since the last one was on Friday.

vs. .

Starting pitchers Hiroki Kuroda vs Jamie Moyer

The Dodgers need a strong response to the Phillies to avoid falling into a 3-0 hole from which no NL team has ever escaped in a playoff series. The only AL team to do it was Ramirez's Boston Red Sox against the New York Yankees in the 2004 ALCS.

Phillies Pitcher "Punked !"

Watch the video.. this is really funny

Everyone had convinced Kyle Kendrick that he had been traded to Japan for a player named Kobayashi Iwamura. The manager, GM, his agent... were all in on the ruse. The look on his face is just priceless.

C. Moeller, WAS, C Signed to a minor league contract

Bowden continues his love affair with former Reds players. We'll have to wait and see if he is as dumb as sweaterpants and actually puts him on the major league roster.
Who's the next ex-red Jimbo will sign ?

2007 predictions revisited....

nlt-andrew68 — Sun, 30 Sep 2007 05:09:32 -0000

Back in March most of us had hope of at least a decent season...

here's the link
http://redreporter.com/story/2007/3/29/231421/705

if the Reds win tomorrow we will be 72-90
and the winner is a tie between reds123 and bobestes (both picked 73-89)

if the Reds lose they will be 71-91 and the winner will be sidnancy (picked 70-92)

this 7 game losing streak put a lot of people (me included) out of the running...it is also a good indicator of what to expect if we don't keep Dunn & Griffey next year.

Narron wins Turkey of the Week

nlt-andrew68 — Fri, 22 Jun 2007 22:39:34 -0000

The 700 WLW Jennie-O Turkey Store...turkey of the week is none other than skipper Jerry Narron.

here's the link ... (not smart enough to make link smaller)

http://700wlw.com/pages/localSports.html?feed=121849&article=2296919

Narron was also mentioned as the manager most likely to be fired on Yahoo sports yesterday.

I'm hoping for another double GM/Manager sacking like the Bowden/Boone firing of a few years past.

Dr. Krivsky I presume .............

nlt-andrew68 — Fri, 11 May 2007 02:01:19 -0000

..... Dr. Krivsky ....
WTF are you thinking ?
this EdE move is like removing a kidney from a patient with heart trouble.

the problem with this team is that the bullpen has blown 10 yes TEN
games. Plus 2-3 games that were tied, or otherwise in reach.

Can't you find a make believe medical problem for Stanton like you did for Milton ??

The other problem is a lack of right handed power. I know Edwin hasn't been hitting that well, but this move makes us even more vulnerable to a good left handed pitcher.

Krivsky should be fired for Reds medical malpractice !!

Krivsky = sweaterpants = Idiot
