Astros get nothing in top 1 as Carlos barely misses a three run jack.

Bud throws a shoulder high heater and rookie catcher lines it into the seats for a two run home run. That was followed up by a Janish single. 2-0 one out Bottom 2

Come watch a Bud implosion. Aneury up in the second inning. 3-0 Reds; sacks juiced; one out. Votto at the plate.

Bad news: Bud just reached for his shoulder after throwing a pitch, and he's left the game. Harrell is coming on to replace him.

We hired an attorney about 4 months ago.

Good guy.  Seems real straight laced.   Kind of dorky if nothing else.

Come to find out two months into his employment he is COVERED in tats under his clothing.

"Oh yeah, crazy teen years, huh?   When's the last time you got one?" I ask him.

"Two months ago.  Gave myself a celebration dragon when you hired me."

I thought about firing him on the spot.

Trust me when I say I wish I had never known.   He comes in one day in a 3 piece suit with a white button down shirt.   He takes off his coat and his vest and Mike looks up and scream HOLY FUCKING SHIT, JEFF!

We all look up and you can pretty plainly see it all through his white button down.

I have to say.  I'm a pretty liberal guy.  Really.   I find punk-dork chicks super hot. 

That being said, there's something automatically turny offy about a chick with a tat. 

It just says "short term decision maker" and "unclean" to me for some reason.

How does that make him any less qualified than all the kids with law degrees willing to take any job I'll hire them for?

Can he spell his own name?   Use Word?   Talk to clients without referring to them by ethnic slur?

Why go 80k in hock for a degree you'll never use?

It seems kinda like he can't reliably get that breaking stuff over so he has to come with the fastball too often.

He's got that hard breaking cutter but it's always out of the zone and hitters let it go.

It seems kinda like he can't reliably get that breaking stuff over so he has to come with the fastball too often.

One trick ponies tend to have trouble unless that one trick is damn good. His isn't.

On the other hand, Was just remarking the other day how the two best closers ever only had one pitch each.

Yeah, but they eventually caught up with Doug Jones and Dave Smith. Or did you mean Hoyt Wilhelm?

At least it was a pitch that moved. Lopez's fastball just comes in there hit-me straight.

My son and I took in last nights game and will be there for today's game too.  Seeing September baseball with two teams eliminated may not be exciting from a drama standpoint but it is a great time to grab great seats cheap.  1st live Astros game since 1993.  Martinez's arm is super impressive from LF!

It was great seeing Red's fans melt down when Q got Homer loafing back to 3rd.  Let's see folks your pitcher gave you 7 decent innings, went 3 for 3 at the plate and you are upset he got picked off walking back to 3rd?  Perspective folks.  He ain't paid to run the bases.

As I said, that one pitch has to be very very good. Even guys with big cheese like Wagner also threw a slider to keep the hitters honest. Hoffman's changeup was in that great category, as is Rivera's cut fastball.
