What are we drinking tonight?

I have Miller Lite, it was on sale and I was in an extreme hurry.

"Got a bump on the ole noggin, but otherwise god. And I get a new vehicle probably, w00t!"

ew.

I’m not drinking because at 3:30 AM, I have to drive to Burlington, VT.

Whee.

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.

by Tango and Cash on May 21, 2008 7:09 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

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.

by Tango and Cash on May 21, 2008 7:12 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

YES

You’ve seen us for two games. I’ve watched this shit since opening day. Grant me my quick drunk. It numbs the pain. :)

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

by Tango and Cash on May 21, 2008 7:17 PM PDT reply actions   0 recs

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

by Tango and Cash on May 21, 2008 7:25 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

Yes.

So do we. We LOVE it.

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.

My Buddy Made That Picture!!!

We posted it for the first time here.

It was inspired by this original.

Sounds like he hurt his hamstring when he hit last inning.

Okay

I realize it’s LA and there’s a ton of other shit to do, but how can Chavez Ravine be that empty when it’s not raining?

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.

What's More Likely?

Juan Pierre hitting a home run in real life or Ozzie Smith hitting a homer in RBI Baseball?

I pride myself on my tolerance.

Then again, I somehow got blackout drunk on three drinks last Saturday, so that hurt my confidence quite a bit.

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.

Griffey.

That’s at least the 4th one like that, where it’s been extremely close. He can’t buy 598 right now.

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.

that does not make me like dusty
