gonna be a sellout crowd today!!! the sleeping giant awakes. they win this ballgame today and keep on winning for the rest of the year like they have, it will be just like it was in the 90's when they sold out 455 straight games. it'll be déjà vu all over again. we can only hope. go tribe!!!

Remember, the winner of this series wins the Ohio River. We win today, we lock up the gateway to the west.

I think the spoils would include Indy, most of WVa, and KY.

And the hearts and minds of the impressionable children of Cincinnati itself.

BWAAA-HAHAHAHAAAAAAA

Back down to the ballpark again today. A beautiful day for a game.

Happy birthday to Paulie C and Happy Anniversary dinner day to Mr. McPeek. :dingle:

does anyone know what is the reasoning for the 4:05 start???

by **bac5665** » Sat May 21, 2011 4:06 pm

I haven't been this excited about a game in a long time. Last night was incredible, and I expect nothing less today.

Go Tribe!

The Steins had already booked the Clubhouse for their son's Bar Mitzva from 1-3:30.

And 4:06 was just too damn late. 4:05 just fit right in there.

They're trying to get the West coast crowd. :salute:

Why the red uniforms against the Reds? Are hoping to cause confusion?

I just really hate these red uniforms.

Oh, nice K!

by **British_Pharaoh** » Sat May 21, 2011 5:10 pm

Tomlin....sexy beast

by **bookelly** » Sat May 21, 2011 5:11 pm

Boy does Tomlin have a pair of brass balls. He has no fear at all.

Damn, I must be color blind. They look cream color to me.

by **bookelly** » Sat May 21, 2011 5:26 pm

What's up with the idiots behind home plate smoking cigars? Poser much?

by **bookelly** » Sat May 21, 2011 5:39 pm

Another great defensive play. This time by the Citizen.

by **Jumbo** » Sat May 21, 2011 5:39 pm

Every time I think it's time to let go of the OC for Phelps or Kipnis, he makes a play like that.

by **dazindiansfanuk** » Sat May 21, 2011 5:39 pm

Flashy play by OC to end the frame!

by **British_Pharaoh** » Sat May 21, 2011 5:47 pm

Homer Bailey is a totally different pitcher compared to the times we've seen him prior to tonight.

by **British_Pharaoh** » Sat May 21, 2011 5:51 pm

Tomlin, 44 pitches through 4. Retired 8 straight.

Efficient

by **statmasta** » Sat May 21, 2011 5:54 pm

Michael Brantley really isn't that fast.

Oh well.

by **British_Pharaoh** » Sat May 21, 2011 6:09 pm

Quick game

I don't think he was hustling until he saw Votto deflect the ball rather than gather it cleanly

by **bookelly** » Sat May 21, 2011 6:14 pm

Ol' fashioned pitchers :spar:

by **British_Pharaoh** » Sat May 21, 2011 6:22 pm

That was a very pretty strike 3

by **bookelly** » Sat May 21, 2011 6:23 pm

And my Tomlin mancrush continues to grow.

Nasty.

Completely fooled and then locked out once reality set in.

by **peeker643** » Sat May 21, 2011 6:42 pm

Can't even deport OC anymore for wearing a GD frying pan on his left hand the last two weeks. Part of becoming a citizen should have been making a big league play.

Tomlin made his pitch and should have been out of the inning.

Shit.

by **dazindiansfanuk** » Sat May 21, 2011 6:43 pm

That's a play OC needs to make.

Time to respond with the heart of the order.

by **statmasta** » Sat May 21, 2011 6:48 pm

Carlos Santana should hit a home run here.

Yep, that's what he should do.

by **statmasta** » Sat May 21, 2011 6:50 pm

Or strikeout. Whatever.

by **statmasta** » Sat May 21, 2011 6:51 pm

TRAVIS FUCKING BUCK

by **British_Pharaoh** » Sat May 21, 2011 6:51 pm

Woooo Buck you beauty

by **Jumbo** » Sat May 21, 2011 6:52 pm

Wow! Buck homers...awesome!

by **Am I Here Again?** » Sat May 21, 2011 6:53 pm

Hubby called it. :thumb up:

Just before Buck batted he said "what we need is a Homer homer". And he is RARELY funny! But he WAS right! So, what else should he ask for? Come on, there's only eight minutes left before the end of the world...

by **peeker643** » Sat May 21, 2011 6:55 pm

Buck will have an opportunity to nail down a MLB job for the next two to three years if he steps up over the next month here and puts together a healthy season.

And health has always been dude's issue.

by **statmasta** » Sat May 21, 2011 6:56 pm

He went? Are you kidding me?

by **peeker643** » Sat May 21, 2011 6:56 pm

C'mon LaPorta- recognize ferfucksake.

Still a toad.

by **bookelly** » Sat May 21, 2011 6:56 pm

I'm gonna have a heart attack.

by **dazindiansfanuk** » Sat May 21, 2011 6:58 pm

Going to the pen...... really?!

Tomlin at only 85 pitches!!!

Hmmmmmm

by **British_Pharaoh** » Sat May 21, 2011 6:59 pm

Tomlin couldn't go another inning??
85 pitches

by **Jumbo** » Sat May 21, 2011 7:05 pm

Vinny effing Pestano. One more to go.

by **statmasta** » Sat May 21, 2011 7:06 pm

VINNIE PESTANO BLOWING FOOLS AWAY

by **British_Pharaoh** » Sat May 21, 2011 7:06 pm

Sweeeeet

by **bookelly** » Sat May 21, 2011 7:06 pm

My cousin Vinnie made Gomez look a fool. Pissed him off too.

by **dazindiansfanuk** » Sat May 21, 2011 7:06 pm

Manny Acta 1 - 0 Me

Sorry I ever doubted the move Manny!

by **Jumbo** » Sat May 21, 2011 7:07 pm

...and there it is!

by **statmasta** » Sat May 21, 2011 7:12 pm

I like 'Zeke Carrera's game.

I always love the guys with explosive speed that Carrera has shown.

by **British_Pharaoh** » Sat May 21, 2011 7:17 pm

Well, some said the world would end today...and Jesus is now on the mound.

by **dazindiansfanuk** » Sat May 21, 2011 7:18 pm

Pure Rage Vs Votto, Phillips and Bruce.

Nail biting time.

by **British_Pharaoh** » Sat May 21, 2011 7:20 pm

Ugh!

this is going to be bad
