Game Thread: Game 26 vs. the Cardinals

by JD Arney on May 1, 2006 6:43 PM EDT in News Comment 33 comments

TIME: 7:10 @ Great American Ball Park

REDS PROBABLE: CARDINALS PROBABLE:
Bronson Arroyo (4-0, 2.34) Mark Mulder (2-0, 3.53)

To get the other side of the story, check out Viva El Birdos. The commenters over there have an irrational hatred of Arroyo. Which I totally understand, since there are many Cardinals I really can't stand. Jim Edmonds, I'm looking at you.

Also Scott Spiezio, what with that thing that's on his chin. Idiot.

Go Reds!

Krivsky and El Birdos

In case lboros pops over here, just want to let him know that Krivsky did not trade for Williams. That was Dan O'Brien that did that. I'd tell him myself but I don't feel like register just to say that.

So far, Krivsky has been weaving gold from straw and he hasn't really made any major mistakes. Which is good because it's going to take him a year or two to clean up some of DanO's mess.

wow

Is that Hal McCoy or lboros? He thought Krivsky was repsonsible for acquiring Womack too.

Amazing Krivsky

My first post reminded me that Red Menace wanted to see the Amazing Krivsky in full regalia. I threw one together quickly...

Brandon

Arroyo, 12 pitches, 11 strikes. Except for the double, that's that kind of first inning you like to see.

Aurilia

As long as he's not playing everyday I'm happy with him on the club.

Juan Encarnacion

Hits a no doubter home run. I renew my objections to fans throwing the ball back.

Ditto

In the river or keep it, that's what I say.

Pitcher's best friend

Good double play with the Devil on deck.

Pick him up Bronson!

Arroyo, come on...

How did Dunn

Score from first on a single? Is Gamecast loopy?

Don't mind me...just pitching to contact, that's all...

Dunn scoring

Dunn doubled, Kearns singled him in. Gamecast must be loopy.

Thanks...

I think Gamecast is having trouble with which hits and walks are soft and hard...

Don't mind me...just pitching to contact, that's all...

Breaking out of that slump in a big way!

Right

I was about to propose that the Reds give Lopez a day off, since I think he has started almost every game.

wawrming up for the reds?

Arroyo

I don't know if anyone is in the pen, but I have a feeling the plan is to have Arroyo go all the way right now. He just threw his 101st pitch to get Pujols out.

Arroyo

I smell a complete game.

by Red Menace on May 1, 2006 9:18 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs

He's in a slump at the plate, though.

by Red Menace on May 1, 2006 9:23 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs

BA

He's looking home run all the time now. Needs to stay within himself.

by Slyde on May 1, 2006 9:25 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs

Yess!!!

Sweet. The only thing that could make this better is if it happened on May 2.

Bronson Arroyo

maintains bad-ass status:

Nine innings, 109 pitches

IP H R ER BB K HR ERA
B. Arroyo 9 4 1 1 3 4 1 2.06

Even more impressive

Was that this was the second time the Cards saw him, and they roughed him up the last time, plus he did this at home, against a lineup full of people who can take you deep at any time.
