You can’t like you would just sit there if a mob pinned you against a screen. In no way am I defending his actions. However, don’t act like LaRue was worth anything.

He was washed up anyway, so what’s a little brain damage. I’d be happy to move on if someone returned the favor – mere fate will do; it doesn’t have to be another ballplayer. Cueto contaminates the mound and desecrates the playing field every time he steps out on it. The sooner this disgrace is removed from the field, the sooner we can all “move on.”

See if you can find the video again, and keep it handy for anytime you get a walnut stuck in your throat. It’s cheaper than Ipecac.

Because of the injury, they can replace Cueto with Leake now if they want to, but it would knock out Cueto for the NLCS, too.

Uh huh!!!!!!!

I just watched the video, and you can see that LaRue was the guy in between Carpenter and Rolen when they got shoved back into the wall. Carpenter says something, Dusty Baker hollers at him, the ump points at him and Rolen runs them backwards. Starts in the MLB video at 1:00

I’m sure Carpenter was just saying how much he was enjoying Cincinnati.

Now pull your pants up, get a Kleenex and have a cigarette.

LaRue was a washed up veteran with a low batting average at the end of his career. He rarely played anyways. Move on.

A little too much boozing in anticipation of the Reds first post season win in 17 years it seems.

Party like it’s 1995!

And about 1000 people were involved.

Regardless, classier than planting a foot on someone’s head.

Right now it looks like the bats are doing the talking, with a couple of HR in the ‘pitchers park’. Still early, but fun to watch in any case. if Latos can finish tonight, the Reds are in pretty good shape.

The Reds only have 2 guys who can do the long/misc relief, LeCure and Simon, on this roster; so the move to Latos for this game was probably the best choice.
