    I'd hate to steal Max's line.

    Even now our torture continues. 1st and 3rd no outs, somehow Bourn gets caught in a rundown from 3rd, then Lee grounds into a DP. Astros baseball at it's finest

    :D

    Paulino's given up 20 dingers in under 90 IP.

    I think it's fair to say that's something he'll need to improve upon.

    When Pence gets all of one, he really gets all of it. He has a lot of strength in that lanky frame.

    Wow, I didn't realize San Diego had passed us in the standings as well. :(

    Yea, I thought about that. I was just messing around.

    We also protect our 1st rounder in the case of signing a Type A, as unlikely as that may be.

    How embarassing to see them just give up like this. At least the Reds are still trying

    Geez, flat, uninspiring, crappy pitching, bored veterans. Why am I even watching this?

    So you'll have something to complain about?

    How is it even possible to be as bad as this? We are getting our proverbials handed to us on a platter by THE REDS!! AGAIN!!!

    Paulino sucks balls hard and needs to be taken outside and shot after the game. Or just drop him forever, that would be second best.

    We walked Nix so Paulino could serve a meatball to that guy.

    That barely stayed in the park.

    That guy being Corky Miller, a career .178 hitter who has now absolutely hammered Paulino twice tonight

    Paulino's got to work on that command.

    We extend our league lead in double plays. Berkman seems to have totally given up on this team, just looks like he can't be bothered out there. Shameful really, I thought he was a proper professional. His attitude right now stinks

    At least in 10 days time we won't have to watch Carlos Lee WALK down the 1st base line anymore. I couldda crawled faster than that!

    Well, Brownie... we're a singles-hitting team. When you hit the ball on the ground a lot relative to other teams, you're going to end up hitting into relatively more DPs.

    I don't agree with that sentiment.

    Berkman could have easily hung 'em up but battled through a couple of injuries recently.

    He's hit 4 HRs in the last 2 weeks. I really don't think he's given up. If anything, he's just not playing up to his standards.

    Blum is another guy just going to the plate to go through the motions and get out so the game is over as quickly as possible. Why oh why are we still starting him?

    Yeah, let's hope we actually sign our draft picks this year.

    Well the good news is we made Micah Owings look like Cy Young. The guy sucks and we barely made him sweat
