Cuerto, and Phillips fwiw, come off as being little bitches in all this. Cuerto looks especially bad, nothing cheaper than kicking someone in the back with spikes. Should get a decent suspension.

So Cuerto was kicking people in the back with metal spikes to protect himself, correct? LOL, give me a break. The guy just went off like a bitch, clearly trying to kick a Cardinal player who was yelling at him. And that "brick" wall has a fair amount of padding, does it not? He had no need to do that, he would have been just fine like the other 5 people who were slammed into the padded wall and pinned back.

And Cuerto also had plenty of Reds' players to his direct right. Bottom line, no need to kick and flail like he did.

And I fail to see how the Cardinals "bitches" were trying to pin him up against the padded wall. Nobody gave two shits about Cuerto until he went on his kicking temper tantrum. He would have been just fine.

karen lotz;448302 wrote:Yeah maybe. Maybe Phillips should have said the line about hating the Cards and left it at that. There was no reason to call them out for being bitches when the Reds haven't won SHIT. Just not smart at all.

karen lotz;448402 wrote:but calling a team a bunch of bitches that has been to the playoffs 8 times since the Reds last trip just doesn't make sense.

karen lotz;448430 wrote:Nothing, my point is the Cardinals have actually done something to warrant running their mouths if they so choose. What have the Reds done? They got into a 1 game playoff a decade ago. There is a way to win and a way to lose. Reds haven't figured out either way it seems.


Phillips has really been backing up his talk this series. 1 for 12 is quality.

Carpenter whines that the balls aren't rubbed down to his satisfaction at GABP. Big whoop. Why do you get to decide how much much the balls are rubbed down?

These are examples of incidents that fueled Phillips comment.

Phillips has backed up his talk by being named an all-star..being 1 for his last 12 just means he has struggled in 2 1/2 games. Pujols must be awful because in July he was hitless in 18 at bats, right?
