What are we drinking tonight?
I have Miller Lite, it was on sale and I was in an extreme hurry.

That’s no excuse to buy Miller Lite. Unless you’re beer bonging, shotgunning, or trying to get drunk on the cheap. Those are good excuses.

The question is, are you guys trying to get drunk while watching the Reds’ game? I mean it’s understandable to do so. I would. If that’s the case, it’s okay.

Why is Torre batting Kemp 6th again? This is ridiculous.

One of these teams has a truly ridiculous batting order
and it’s not the Dodgers.

Yea, you’re right. I like how Votto is batting 7th, but Hairston and Patterson are batting 1-2.

My Friend Sent Me This Link
And it had a picture of Dusty Dice, which he just randomly rolls to figure out what a hitter should do at AB, batting order, etc. My favorite part is one side of one of the die has the word “WALK” crossed out. I wish I could find a picture of it.

It’s not just a joke that people show up late. People literally don’t get there until about the 3rd inning, from what I’ve been told.

I like Woodford, if you can find it.
Being a broke college kid, I’m not very well-suited to the good stuff, other than that. Maker’s Mark is probably the next step down, in my experience. I’m not sure if they have that out there, either. Some of the other RRs would be more help.

Corey Patterson is pretty terrible. The general consensus is that managers cannot negatively or positively affect to a large extent as they can in other sports, but that’s not the case for the Reds if Dusty is able to influence the GM enough to get crap like Patterson on the team. Good thing for the Reds Krivsky got fired. He never should’ve been a GM in the first place.

not only does patterson stay on the team, but he plays all the time
and is always at the top of the order.
