Sigh
Maybe I shouldnt have been so quick to think we had a really good ballclub.
When do we play the pirates again?

Again, it's just one game. Calm down.

Oh, and remember, folks: Alfonso Soriano is NOT batting leadoff. He's batting first.
I am calm...not really worked up
just losing 9 out of 13 i believe? Cant exactly be happy about the way we have 2 pitch at bats from lee/fukudome for 10 days were it seems to always be an instant out.

will do something like this during the season.

“really good ballclub” can possibly lose 9 of 13?

Sure
but we have had sooooo many opportunities these past days and have been the opposite of clutch and that really has an effect on players. Just wanna see a happier ballclub.

"One game"
Yes, it is one game. One game in a very frustrating stretch of games right after a very not-frustrating stretch of games.
But that’s just one opinion.
They need to put Soriano in, so he could wreck havok
on the Reds, then the world.

Not that it matters
but if my research is correct, the Reds already hold the NL record for most home runs by a team in single game – 9 against the Phillies in 1999 and the overall record is 10 by the Blue Jays against the Orioles in 1987

His batting
is getting better. He needs to play on a sustained basis. He’s making adjustments; you can see them when he plays. He’s not perfect, but he’s going to make a fine centerfielder for the cubs. Sending him down could irretrievably damage his confidence, and won’t give him anything substantive to build on. He destroys AAA pitching.
I’m not saying anything new here.

If I was GM
I’ll get flammed for this, but I’d trade for Dunn, play him in right or left field and move fukudome to the top of the order and to center. That lineup should mash.
If nothing else
He wont hit a hommer against the Cubs everytime he plays them then.
Hahahahahahahaha...
Adam Dunn in right field….oh, that’s rich.

Yes, the rest of the lineup needs to get out of the slump. Kosuke is 0/19, or 0/20 on the road trip, for example.

Some of you guys act like you’ve never seen the Cubs lose before. Relax, it’s one game. No loss is fun that’s for sure but the sky isn’t falling.
The unfortunate thing is that we don’t see the Reds tomorrow. Had we, Votto would need to be drilled. Just like Tim Hudson correctly did the day after Soriano hit 3, Votto wears a souvenir the next time the Cubs play them. Simple as that.

After today's game...
I need a day off just as much as the players. What do you take for a damaged soul? Perhaps a 12 pack and 18 holes of golf with a night cap at Hooters. That usually does the trick.
I'm kind of a big deal

Yep, when Adamn Dunn...
...makes a great defensive play, you KNOW this game is being played in The Twilight Zone, and we shouldn’t take ANYTHING that happens here too seriously.
Nanika Ga Okoru!
Oh, and remember, folks: Alfonso Soriano is NOT batting leadoff. He's batting first.
Well
You did jinx it by laughing at his defensive play earlier, lol
Yeah, I'm starting to think this entire defeat was my fault.
This would’ve been a good day to lose my Internet connection.

Serious question
I’m still relatively new to this site and I’m trying to understand what exactly consitutes a “hater”?
Oh, I dunno...
....someone who repetitively and unnecessarily dwells on every single negative thing they can possibly associate with the team without regard for balance, rationality or the truth maybe?
Nanika Ga Okoru!
Oh, and remember, folks: Alfonso Soriano is NOT batting leadoff. He's batting first.
and only show
up in here when the team is losing so they can bitch and moan. They never come in when the team is winning and cheer like the rest of us.

So it’s okay to criticize as long as we stay balanced, rational and “truthful”. Otherwise your a “hater”. Got it.
You seem a little defensive. You're not a hater, are you?

the Cubs and Lou shake this game off. a 6-4 homestand would be nice making them 25-19.

At least there was symmetry today. One Reds run for each Cubs goose egg on the board. Kind of nice, if you think about it.
you know
its glad to not have to watch or endure these kind of games. Its easier to look at the score than to go through it. And Lieber KILLED my fantasy team today..
