[005]

Cincinnati's Great American Ball Park is haven for homers - Paul Daugherty - SI.com mentioned here about 1/3 of the way down.

Sorry replace Sutton with Simpson in all those posts. I always get those guys confused

They flat-out said so at the time. I remember thinking how silly it was to build a stadium around one player. Let's see how long it takes me to come up with a link.

I guess it was either short power alleys for Junior or betting windows for Pete Rose.

No idea what Simpson is saying, but I'm sure he's probably right.

About what? I'm halfway listening to him and haven't noticed.

The game last night. He keeps alluding to it

"they came in and got a win, they think they should have two, everyone else does, too."

Never said it's bad, simply observed the beauty of a man on man relationship blossoming in the right side of Atlanta's infield.

Hell, if it can get Uggla hitting consistently, I'd be happy with Freeman smoking his pole everytime he's about to bat.

 

[emainvol]

In fairness, that could be less about the park and more about the unlikely circumstance, but considering how often he complains, I don't know.

Don Sutton is still whining, what is this guy's problem?

I don't know what is worse Simpson's whining or your subsequently incesstant whining about him whining. For the sake of Pete man you don't have to watch it.

Just mute them, maybe.

Press mute.

Guess it could be worse though, they could be the Yankees, Nationals or Red Sox guys

Halladay is going under the blade

one red sox guy is good.

nationals radio guys are good. tv guys, eh.

If I had to mute all the bad announcing in sports I would forget commentary even exists

why is this bad?

It was a matter of time, something was obviously wrong. Guys of that caliber don't implode.


Side note, who expected this to be the pitchers duel of the series?

 

[Scotty's Flat Top]

Roy Halladay shoulder has bone spurs, partially torn rotator cuff, and frayed labrum. He is going to be out for quite some time.

I think you're being kind, at least for Santangelo.

 

[emainvol]

why is this bad?

Because as a general rule all FSN/SportSouth crews are bad. It's the same company that employs trash like McCarver and Brennamen

Better game when these two met last year. I expected Mike to pitch well. I did not expect Leake to do so, although I shoud have.. seems like he punked us last year.

I meant why is forgetting them bad.

and yeah, FP is good for some comedy, at times. I generally have them on mute since the radio broadcast gets off sometimes.

Wonder if Cliff Lee misses Texas. Cause.
