The Happiest Time of the Year

Here at Red Hot Mama, series with the Cardinals are our favorites because it's our tradition to talk smack with Bellyitcher and her Proxy. Now, Bellyitcher hasn't updated since the beginning of March, but I bet she'll still show, since I got an e-mail from her less than a week ago, but even if she doesn't, we can talk smack about the Cards anyway. They do suck, after all.
C. Trent's got the line-ups:
Your Cincinnati Reds
Josh Hamilton CF
Brandon Phillips 2B
Adam Dunn LF
Ken Griffey Jr. RF
Edwin Encarnación 3B
Scott Hatteberg 1B
Alex Gonzalez SS
David Ross C
Aaron Harang P
Those Freakin Cards
Eckstein SS
Duncan LF
Pujols 1B
Edmonds CF
Rolen 3B
Spiezio RF
Kennedy 2B
Milina C
Wells P
Ross is starting while Javier Valentín waits not to be used to pinch hit. Time to fire Narron.
He’s trying to hide the fact that he has no chin.
I gotta take a teeny break – the proxy is out playing softball and I’m hungry. So I’m gonna stare in the freezer for a couple minutes before eating something that isn’t good for me.
I may take a quick nap. This is usually my bedtime!
:doze:
A-Gon es en fuego tonight.
Harang had better contact than Ross, with better results, since his sac fly brought in a run.
It’s true. Go AGon!
Geeze. The pitcher got an RBI?
At least Pujols got it out of the infield.
Chris Welsh is talking about Edmonds being beyond his prime. George has to be loving that.
How long a contract did they sign him to?
Check out Spiezio’s hair, man. He’s joining the Adam Dunn school of hairstyle management. Except for the lame little beardy thing, of course.
2 years, this year and next. We’re waiting for a kid named Colby Rasmus to get ready, but like the rest of the group, he hasn’t had a good start this year.
At least we got one run.
That’s not so bad. We gave a 2-year contract to Mike Stanton.
There’s Griffey’s homer :angry:
All right! Jr.’s first homer of the year.
Nice setup for Gonzo. Let’s make it 3-for-3.
!!!
Two homer game for AGon? This is madness.
Well, I think that’s about all we’ll see of Wells tonight. Barf.
And with that flyout, Ross’s average dips below .100.
And the boos are starting.
At least tickets will be easier to get.
That sucks. How’s the bullpen this year?
A-Gon has two homers and a double. He’s 3 for 3.
And most of the rest of the lineup hasn’t done crap.
Except Harang! 😀
Harang’s usually a pretty poor hitter, too, but he does seem to take to Busch pretty well.
If they don’t stop all this hitting, they’re never going to get an official game in before the rain starts again.
It must be ladies night at RHM… got you all to myself !!!
Oh good grief. Even my computer is disgusted – it crashed and then the sick kitty sat on the remote.
SNAX!!!
Snacks is pitching for the Cardinals..
He looks good. Lost some weight ??
Hi Redsfan68. Welcome to the party.
He does look trimmer. It’s going around this year.
The glare off a World Series ring makes people look thinner.
I guess that Dunn’s slimmed down physique must be foreshadowing, then.
Oh, and the bullpen is just OK this year.
Now can we have him back ??
you can have Coffey… he needs to lose a few.
I think OK would be overstating our bullpen situation. I hoping you guys won’t get to see them today.
Dang, nice play AGon!
Who does that guy think he is? McCarver’s boyfriend?
Harang looks like he’s pouting. Cheer up, man.
:laugh: St. Louis Cardinals: fat camp for Reds pitchers. Surely Jimmy Anderson is coaching in the minors somewhere or something.
I think he looks like a goth. It’s weird when they have him on t.v. promos and he has to smile. It looks totally unnatural.
Only if you have someone to replace Carpenter.
You can have Milton. Or Arroyo, but only if you take Ross too.
Ross got a hit !!
:crazy: I can’t believe it: Ross got a hit!
Yippee!! 😎
Hmmm. We don’t need a backup catcher, ours kills the Cubs. What else ya got? You can have…actually, we need everything we’ve got since there’s no one better in the system (except for the glut of outfielders in AAA).
Joe Buck is pimping mlb.tv. Not much else to talk about I guess.
You cant have too many catchers, just ask Krivsky
Good job, Snacks.
Luckily, the Cardinals don’t collect positions. They collect short, scrappy, white guys – regardless of position.
Hey, where’s Freel and his adorable mental illness?
Snacks…
with the mop and bucket duty tonight
Farney sighting !
Lightning is starting up again here.
