Pain. That hurts.

On a side note and apropos of nothing, I think the Reds have some of the worst jerseys in the game. Red and white should be pretty easy but the shadowing on the letters and numbers are awful and whatever font they use sucks too. 

I think a big part of the problem is that the script is too large, and looks kind of silly, with only four letters in it.

Saw it coming.

Ugh. I jinxed it. 
 

I don’t get why he wouldn’t not throw fastballs until they proved they could hit it.

Again we wouldn't be in this position if the offense had a pulse

[O's84]

Just before the pitch I said, "Please don't hang the splitter."

There’s a lesson there.

Only if you’re willing to learn from it.

We both did

I agree should have just kept blowing it by them while it was working

It looks like they're trying to catch that late 19th century riverboat vibe with that font on the back of their white jerseys. Just not a good look. Just put on straw boater hats, Rollie Finger mustaches and get it over with.

Shades of Armando Benitez versus Tony Fernandez in the 1997 ALCS. 

[O's84]

I Think he's out.

[Beysbol]

Don't the Reds have a winning record against the AL East this season? I know they swept Tampa. 

[mrbig1]

Farmer has a 6 plus ERA. Watch him get a 1-2-3 inning.

[Yossarian]

Looked out at full speed
