Yeaaah, Ned really tried to let the Reds back in the game.

This is just an observation because I really haven't seen him that much but he looks like a pretty good situational pitcher. The guy was making the lefties look bad, but couldn't get strikes against right handed bats.

It's just that he was just called up yesterday from AAA. Obviously there were bound to be some nerves, and it showed.

Is it possible for us to have one game with no added drama?

For just being called up, I would say he did a pretty good job.

Dunn's up this is a K waiting to happen.

given that the Red's board is a deserted island sans yourself, I think I speak for our board when I say feel free to join us in game threads whenever.

Okay that's enough excitement. Go ahead and get the final two outs.

Gagne with a 6.00 era, 4 saves two blown saves. bloop hit, tying run will come to the plate. I guess it ain't over till it's over, but I still think you guys are in the drivers seat.

Prediction: Encarnacion walks, Valentine hits a GS, we go to extras.

This is getting ridiculous.

Bill just said Encarnacion fisted it. :lol:

I think you will be pretty safe tonight there is nothing but Dust (pun intended) in the other dugout.

I'm turning it off if this guy gets on.

How much did you guys give to Gagne? I don't understand why you let us have your closer and then went out and signed another one.

$10 million. It's only for one year though. Apparently Cordero never gave us a chance to match the Reds offer.

our closer, now your closer, along with his agent, decided to be sketchy SOB's and not give our GM an indication on teams interested or the amount of money offered. For all we knew we were bidding against ourselves. Thus he took $4 million more from you guys and we had to look at the next available option.
