San Francisco at Cincinnati: Game 5, NLDS
Cincinnati, which won the first two games of the NLDS in San Francisco, and came home thinking NLCS … have flopped. Now, they face elimination. Against one of the best pitchers in the National League.
Gulp.
After outscoring the Giants 14-2 on the road, the Reds have returned home and stunk up the Great American Ballpark. Cincinnati never lost three in a row at home this season, but hasn’t seemed to recover from a 10th inning gaffe by Scott Rolen in game three that gave the Giants life.
This afternoon’s pitching matchup: Matt Latos (two wins against the Giants this season) goes for the Reds; Matt Cain (4th in the NL in ERA; 2nd in WHIP) for the Giants.
The good news, for Cincinnati fans: Cain is 0-3 with a 5.50 ERA against the Reds in 2012.
If the Reds blow this, chalk it up as just another Ohio choke. Cleveland Browns, Cleveland Cavaliers, Cleveland Indians … ah, Ohio, where the stench of failure has been rampant since, well, forever.

Oh, yeah? Well, for the record, the original Death Valley is right here. In case anybody has any doubts, its right here. That’s the original Death Valley. I am pretty sure that is accurate, but I can see where he might have a little confusion. Our guys have never been to USC. California is a long way from here. I can see where there might be a little confusion there – two Death Valleys and two USC’s, but there is only one real one.

We need more owners like marge. Cuban doesnt cut it as a colorful character and khan only has that stache

Jason, the personal rancor reflected in that remark I don’t intend to dignify with comment. But I would like to address your general attitude of hopeless negativism. Consider the lilies of the goddamn field or… hell! Take at look at Spencer096 here as your paradigm of hope.
October 11th, 2012 at 1:29 PM
Did you just quote She’s All That?
October 11th, 2012 at 1:29 PM
Wait I’m confused as to how the word “choke” applies to any of those franchises.
Also, correct me if I’m wrong Ohioans (rare that I allow you fucknuts to even address me directly so take notice), isn’t Cincinnasty viewed as Indiana and Kentucky’s property anyhow?
October 11th, 2012 at 1:30 PM
No he did not. But you just mistook a O Brother Where Art Thou quote for She’s All That and outed yourself as having seen the latter.
October 11th, 2012 at 1:32 PM
Cowboy Mike, allow me to introduce you to Happy. I realize his comedy is as subtle as cement truck but someday you and that guy who just solved the Hyena riddle will figure it out.
October 11th, 2012 at 1:34 PM
If Happy’s comedy is sending out hand crafted spam DMs on twitter to make it look like he keeps getting hacked then he’s a fucking genius.
October 11th, 2012 at 1:35 PM
Hey check out that note just above this one in italics. It’s pretty funny.
October 11th, 2012 at 1:35 PM
He’s like Andy Kauffman. His one goal in life is to alienate the people who find him even remotely funny.
October 11th, 2012 at 1:36 PM
cincinnati’s not ohio tho…
anyways, nice trolling, tbl. suck one of the cocks you ask for pictures of and then buy a clue.
October 11th, 2012 at 1:36 PM
His handler is going to ruin Dean Martin roasts for years even after Happy is dead?

Its no use spencer. Youre no dirt. Youll never get banned.
October 11th, 2012 at 1:44 PM
You guys love comedians …has there ever been anyone like kaufman? And iyo was he a genius or just fucking obnoxious? No Both answers allowed
October 11th, 2012 at 1:45 PM
Anyone else really want to see soused and spencer go at it some day? I don’t want them to hate each other afterward, but it would be true entertainment.
October 11th, 2012 at 1:48 PM
And that really should have had a

Sexually?
Yes.
October 11th, 2012 at 1:50 PM
Ooooh, deadliest commenter! What will prevail…Spencer’s razor wit and musical pedanticism or soused’s toxic breath and political rants?
October 11th, 2012 at 1:50 PM
im not really sure what soused and i would fight over tho. he doesn’t care about sports minutae, golf or ohio state so i can’t imagine finding something to hate on him for. plus, we’re both the same brand of crazy…we batshits stick together.
October 11th, 2012 at 1:51 PM
Herb vs. Hooch I guess?
All I know is I’m running in during the match and throwing a table at someone.
October 11th, 2012 at 1:53 PM
Hooch is crazy
October 11th, 2012 at 1:54 PM
Until roughly 2006 I always got Turner and Hooch / Tango and Cash mixed up. Three of those are dog names goddamnit.
October 11th, 2012 at 1:54 PM
my best guess would be him insulting some obscure musician i consider a hero. like nada and zappa.
/still can’t believe that fuckhead thinks captain fucking beefheart was a genius but zappa was a noodler…that’s factually incorrect.
October 11th, 2012 at 1:55 PM
you are correct. the same can be said for Toledo, Michigan can claim that dump
October 11th, 2012 at 1:57 PM
Indiana does not want Cincinnati. Thanks, but we have Kokomo and Evansville, so we have met our quota of fucking failure towns.
October 11th, 2012 at 2:00 PM
kentucky gets cincy…they already got the airport after all.
October 11th, 2012 at 2:01 PM
Cincinnati is firmly under the control of Kentucky and it’s not even close.
October 11th, 2012 at 2:07 PM
No, it is I who is coming for them.
Zappa vs. Fiona Apple … go!
October 11th, 2012 at 2:09 PM
Think it would be possible to convince them to take Evansville? I know Indiana is stuck with Kokomo, but maybe we shift Terre Haute off on Illinois.
October 11th, 2012 at 2:10 PM
I don’t think Zappa was a noodler, just a terrible singer and lyricist. But I am giving his instrumental compositions another chance.
Beefheart was indeed a crazed genius. One listen of Mirror Man will attest to that.

October 11th, 2012 at 2:10 PM
Gotcha. I just remember going to Reds games as a kid when I lived in Indianapolis, always seemed closer to that than Ohio. No offense to Indiana.
October 11th, 2012 at 2:12 PM
it’s not vengeance im after, mr. fuckhead, it’s a reckoning.
October 11th, 2012 at 2:20 PM
If I find out you are from Carmel and were a kid there in the mid-90′s, I might hunt you down and vandalize something you care about.
October 11th, 2012 at 2:33 PM
Oh HELL no. Lawrence Township. I got out in ’94 though. I would’ve been at Lawrence North when Oden was, and been heckling that gangly no knee cap having bitch.
October 11th, 2012 at 3:41 PM
Oh, well then my hate for you is non-existent because our schools had no interactions, and also because you are still a child. I hated Carmel back then with an unmatched passion. We only competed with them in one sport, and it got really bad for a couple of years.
