I love waking up to look at the scoreboard on days like today.

 

Man does Coco look fat in that picture or what. Maybe it wasn't for the money, the guy just prefers Cincinnati chili over bratwurst.

Honestly, I don't think he looks much fatter than he did during his days in Milwaukee.

It's funny how the Reds fans are now all throwing him under the bus. It was obvious he didn't have his top shelf stuff last night, and I don't get why Baker didn't pull him after 2 or 3 batters. I guess Dusty being Dusty, though.

19 saves, 1 win, and now 1 amazing loss for Coco vs the Brewers.

 

Yep. He was due.

Most managers wouldn't pull their closer until they either blow the game or finish it regardless of how they are pitching.

Fan is short for fanatic.

I blame Wang.

But he's the closer? He is a closer and if he pulled him he wouldn't be a closer. Closer!

Kotsay with +.798 WPA for the game.

 

I yelled so loud that my wife took away my laptop, but it was so worth it ;-)

obsessedwithbrewcrew]Yeah you probably have to give him a -.150 or so for booting that ball. Still a good night.
Sure was. Though all his night brings to mind is squirrels and nuts.

Logan, what are you referring to? Is it that a grizzled veteran squirrel finds nuts when his club needs him most? Kotsay clearly planned the booted play to make himself more of a hero.
