Thirst
Damn You.

I was just about to post.

Took you too long to come up with a witty pun, eh?
That's What I Get For Going to An Ohio College.
Which one?
Wittenberg University.
What are we drinking tonight?

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

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.

The sale relates to cheapness, no?

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.

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. :)

So how's Kuroda looking this year?

More irritating than not.

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.

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.

Vin Scully Is Saying

That Janish is coming in because Hairston just got hurt.

Doing what?
Picking cherries?
On the banks of the hudson?
While eating Junior Mints?
Well done boys

Well done.

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.

Did Everyone Leave?

Or pass out?

"everyone"

like, both of us?

HU!

Nice squeeze

What's More Likely?

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

This party’s just getting started.

Party of one?

So that’s where that wind that was here an hour ago went.

Quality effort from Kemp.

I think the Reds’ fans thought you weren’t going to be here so they all left.

Their loss. A man has other things to do sometimes.

Oooh, don’t want Kemp going after you on a squeeze.

As much as I love the girly drinks, there’s nothing that beats a nice whiskey on the rocks.

You can going to put schnapps in that?

I was thinking some splenda.

Because I’m on a diet, you know.

Something Reds fans and Dodgers fans can agree on.

What’re you drinking?

Jack Daniel’s Single Barrel.

Well done.

I’m treating myself to some Woodford Reserve. Local stuff from Kentucky.

I’m running low on my good stuff and I’m looking for something to replace it with. Any suggestions?

Peppermint schnapps.

Hey, Rumpleminz is 100 proof and delicious. Chugging it impresses sorority girls.

As does the subsequent vomiting?

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 just noticed your sig.

There’s a less popular NL West blog? Even before we invaded?

AZ Snakepit was, but I don’t think that’s true anymore.

They have 225 comments on tonight's game thread

So I’m gonna go with no.

Yeah, but that’s just like the same 10 people, I get them on total readers.

You have multiple readers?

People find me whimsical or something. Either that or they really look forward to the next Toy Cannon post.

I like to consider myself Andrew’s #1 fan.

They don’t have a juggernaut like Dodger Thoughts to deal with.

AZ Snake Pit, if I recall correctly.
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.

Isn't MM everywhere?

We definitely have Makers Mark, I’ve been wanting to get some at some point.

It's good.

Just 40 more pitches till we get Cueto out of the game.

If you’re last name is Pole or Johnson, you should think really hard before you name your kid Richard.

Fun fact: A Baskin Robbins Resses Shake has 2320 calories and 300 percent of your RDA of saturated fat.

I realize no one here actually has context on that.

Did you eat it?

There was a commercial for it.

My, get above 155 pounds plan fails miserably when I think most calorie rich things are disgusting.

You’re trying to get above 155? I’ve got 40 lbs. on you.

Most people do.

Stop dieting, man. Eat some burgers!

i think i'm going to become vegan

I have an unrealistic body image i need to atttain.

Anyone amazed that Loney has pretty much been on fire this month? I’ve barely noticed.

I should probably flip over to the Laker game for a minute.

Well that was fast.

I’m going to be very upset with someone if Hu ends up being a bad player.

This is pretty nice after the Angels series.

How didn’t that go out?

Griffey.

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

I have a feeling that would have been out a couple years ago. He tagged that thing and it just didn’t go.

I’ll be back a few minutes. On the phone.

Ah, Loney does what Junior could not.

jr sucks
We should trade him before he gets hurt.
or he could just get hurt and we can call up bruce

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

You don't like Dusty?

C’mon guys, Dusty gave us the high-five.

You’d rather be rid of him than Patterson?

there's no getting rid of patterson
I was completely kidding.

Of course not, Patterson sucks.

Although, that response would represent the majority of Reds fans.

This town is done with KGJ, sadly.

More than Patterson?

That's too bad

Were I in cincy, i’d be proud to have Jr. around for another season.

or at least, I’d be too pissed off about patterson to be thinking about Junior. Free Jay Bruce!

Did Red Menace go see Indiana Jones tonight? I don’t see him around. So he really did see it before me.

I think so, he's not on RR either.
Gentlemen, it's been real.

Congratulations on your sweep, and thanks for letting us hang out. See you in June! (Hopefully with a team that doesn’t suck this much.)

Dodgers win

Kuroda finally gets win #2. Go blue!

Kuroda rules.

And by rules, I mean he just kept his job on my fantasy team for another week.

why did no one explain to these

cincy boys that the lakers were playing, and thats why it was dead lol
