At least it took them 13 pitches before they fell behind tonight.

I will say this.  If i had to get a quality start or my nuts get fed to lions id pick lynn

Well in the scenario i envision you have to pick a cardinals starter to pitch a quality start or your nuts get fed to a lion.  It isnt a option not to take the bet.  You must partake.

Its no fun when you dont play by the rules.

When you're talking about my nuts being fed to a lion, I'm bending the rules as much as possible.

I'm just listening to the radio, but can someone explain how Voit can score on a wild pitch and Carpenter not advance from 2nd to 3rd.

I'm going to give him an admittedly generous benefit of the doubt and say the umpires may have missed that one. He was standing on third while they reviewed whether Voit beat the tag and they sent him back to second. Maybe they just assumed he's so slow he wouldn't have made it to third even though the play was at the plate.

This "Don't touch your armpit" commercial for deodorant is annoying.

So the Reds have their fastest guy at the top of the order? What a novel idea.

I'll make one slight correction to the previous post and allow Carpenter did see a lot of pitches tonight and maybe that got the starting pitcher out of the game earlier than he otherwise would have. But it's not like Don Gullet started for the Reds tonight.

I would have left Lyons in for the ninth. He was throwing wiffle balls up there tonight.

Think of it this way, How can a runner score from third on a wild pitch and the runner on second not advance to third?  Answer:  The runner is Carpenter.
 

My daughter, Madison, knows enough to know that if you're on 2nd and the runner on 3rd goes home, you advance to 3rd. She's 14. She's also probably faster than Carpenter.

At 14 she is probably at a peek moment in her life as far as female hormonals controling her moods...still carp probably has her best in that category as well.

This is painful on two fronts
