Change of Pwnership

The Cincinnati Reds got new owners this year in Bob Castellini and company, and we all know what a big impact it's had on the team.
There's another change of ownership going on right now that won't get its own press conference, but is also making a huge impact on the Reds. I'm speaking of course, of the pwnership of the Cardinals. After years of being pwned by the Cardinals, the Reds are finally turning the tables and providing a little pwnage of their own.
Tonight, our boys show off the power of tradition by sweeping the series and giving the Cards some company in first place.
Go Reds!
Nice. See who gets it.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I’ve already had someone ask about it, so I probably ought to link to a definition, huh?

Adam Dunn hates you.
Really.
His shirt says so.
What shirt is that?
I’ve got to put the kid to bed. Back momentito.
He was wearing a T shirt in a FSN interview that had a smilie face and “I hate you” underneath.
Scoreless!
Curious George is done riding the bike, and I’m back.
I see that the offense without Junior has not given Harang as much support in the first as he might like.
We’ve got a rookie in right tonight. He’s already made one error.
I ought to mention that everything’s cross-posted at [url=http://bellyitcher.blogspot.com/2006/06/to-st-louis-cardinals.html]Bellyitcher[/url]
Alright, Aaron. You’re OK.
Whew, double-play. I didn’t even realize I was holding my breath.
So what’s the mood like in Cardinals land these days? I haven’t heard much from your ilk this season.
At least we got a couple hits. We’ve almost equaled last night’s total offense.
They’re just lolling Ponson into a false sense of security, right?
Pretty bi-polar. One the one hand you’ve got people who say, “It’s early June. There’s no reason to freak out. Walt will get someone.” On the other hand, “We’re not running away with the division. Blow up the team.” I guess there are people in between who don’t see the team as championship caliber, but still pretty good. But the airwaves are filled with stupid trade ideas; according to them, the Cardinals aren’t battling for first, they’re in the cellar.
“lulling” even?
“lolling” is funnier. It’s like lollipops, and Ponson is fat.
I can imagine that, after what you guys have had the last few years, a teams that’s good-but-not-twice-as-good-as-everyone-else would be a bit of a letdown.
Yeah, a bit. Plus, the injuries.
It’s a heavyweight pitching duel tonight… except Harang is like, 8 1/2 feet tall. I’m not sure how tall Ponson is… he might just be fat.
Ponson is not tall, but our shortstop has his own cereal.
Yeah, I’m behind it looks like… I’m gonna be quiet and eat my Skyline. 😉
So they finally made Twitchy Puffs? 😀
They’re called EcksOs. The proceeds go to organ donation awareness programs.
Do they have Xs and Os?
Chris was just talking about what happens to sinkerballs when they don’t sink, and I was thinking “See: Danny Graves”
::shudder::
Yay! Freel scores! Thank you Scott Hatteberg.
Naw, they’re cheerios.
Jebus.
Whew: I was afraid you might have jinxed us there by mentioning Graves, Skeeter.
But, really, we have nothing to fear from Gravy. We’ve accepted his suckitude and moved on.
Ok, so Mr. Narron, when I was objecting to a lineup with Hatteberg in the 3 spot, and Aurilia batting cleanup… I was kidding.
I think Daedalus is the only Reds fan with that kind hexing/jinxing power.
Yeah, she’s got some scary mojo going on sometimes.
Did you catch the pre-game LaRue interview (where, incidentally, he was rockin’ in all of his hick glory with his John Deere hat, and his Texas t-shirt sans sleeves)? He just loves talking about how much he is going to turn it on offensively.
Lovely. A lead-off walk. Those rock.
..speak of the devil.
el Diablo becomes the first out.
Well, crap. That could have gone better.
Thank goodness for Yadi.
Sweet. Pags is going to be on next inning.
Sorry to disappear. Got a phone call.
I realize I’m late bitching about this, but should Ecch really be allowed to throw the bat at a pitch-out? He could hurt someone!
Hurt someone like your player that flung his bat into the stands the other night?
Apparently this game is one of a few being featured on ESPN tonight since their “MARQUEE MATCHUP” of the Yanks/BoSox was rained out.
That was Freelie with the flying bat, wasn’t it?
Lovely. A lead-off walk. Those rock.
I’m slightly ill:

THE HELL!?
I’m blaming you for that botched play.
Again, Narron, I apologize for questioning your decision to hit Hatteberg third.
