Game thread: Game 116 vs. the Phillies

H_tiny by JD Arney on in News

TIME: 7:10 @ Citizens Bank Park
                                       

PHILLIES PROBABLE:     REDS PROBABLE:
Jon Lieber (4-9, 5.71)       Kyle Lohse (2-5, 6.85)

Jon Lieber isn't exactly having a good year. Reds need to pounce all over him.

I'm headed out for a week long vacation to Florida later tonight, but I'll probably still pop in from time to time. I've given Slyde mod powers until I get back, so if the site burns down or something I'll know who to blame. Have a good week everyone!

Go Reds!

Lineups?
Anyone got tonight's lineups?  I need to know where Farney's playing/batting.

Site management
I forgot to ask, does your site provide dental coverage?

by Slyde on Aug 11, 2006 6:09 PM EDT   0 recs

Dental plan!
Lisa needs braces...

Nothing on tonights matchups....
but looking ahead, for what it's worth, it looks like when the Astros come to town we'll miss both Clemmens and Oswalt.

Then again, I'm sure the Cardinals were thinking the same thing 10 days ago about missing Bronson twice, so they can go on a 4 day schedule to change things up, but they do not have any off days from now to when they play us.

I was supposed to be in Philly

i can live with that
Let's see how this lineup works tonight.  What is the over/under for runs needed for a victory?

by ohiobobcat on Aug 11, 2006 6:38 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

We need to fix this
I didn't realize that the Phillies lead the season series 3-0. It would be nice to even that up right about now.

Fri 5/12    PHI 8, @CIN 4
Sat 5/13    PHI 2, @CIN 0
Sun 5/14    PHI 2, @CIN 1
Aug 11, 2006     CIN (Lohse) @ PHI (Lieber)    7:05 PM ET
Aug 12, 2006     CIN (Ramirez) @ PHI (Mathieson)    7:05 PM ET

Agreed.
I was at the Saturday and Sunday games of that series... McGroundout was playing CF that Saturday night and dropped a routine fly ball that led directly to a run scoring. Huge in a game scoreless to that point. If I remember correctly, the bullpen blew the Sunday game.

REVENGE!!

by Ash on Aug 11, 2006 6:51 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

Were they the "blowpen" at that time?
just wondering, or had that moniker not been generated yet.

by gejoe on Aug 11, 2006 7:08 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

They were blowing bigtime
but that was before "blowpen" started.

by Ash on Aug 11, 2006 7:10 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

Yeah, I remember too
Cole Hammels MLB Debut on that Friday night, Lieber had a perfect game through 6+ on Saturday, and Ryan Howard hit a pinch hit homer in the 8th and in extras on Sunday.

That series BLEW

by indy on Aug 11, 2006 6:58 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

Completely forgot
We've got Joe on the radio broadcasts for the next few days! That worked out pretty well the last series he worked.

LOL @ FSN
Keys to the Game: (or whatever it's called)

Lieber: hates to face Dunn, loves to face Clayton.

C'mon, everyone loves to face Clayton.

thats the scouting report
on every pitcher in the league

by boobs on Aug 11, 2006 7:09 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

If the Reds want to win,
they're going to have to score more runs than the phillies

by boobs on Aug 11, 2006 7:09 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

To expound upon that point a little
further: If you're a pitcher and Clayton hits you well, stop now. Retire. Call it quits before he embarrasses you further.

If Lohse
Does not Lohse it immediately this inning, I think the Reds have a chance to win.

If not...Hello Ryan Franklin...

A sporting news writer suggests in all seriousness (I think) that Todd Jones should be the AL Cy Young winner.

LoL, I'm in... Besides, whoever made that shirt obviously holds the Cardinals in the same regard we do. They might let us get away with it seeing as how we're on the same "side" and all.

It's a Simpson Classic

Problem...
It's one of those nights every night with this offense.  Who's going to save us?  Two automatic outs in the lineup and maybe three with LaWhiff in there.

One of those nights,
as in one of those nights where we get a pitcher having a bad/mediocre season and turn him into Cy freakin' Young.
I didn't mean you! ;)

It's early
but I have a feeling Lohse better not give up any more runs.

Too many hits for the Reds
Remember, you've got an 0-4 in the 8th spot and an 0-3 in the 9th.

Unfortunately, the 3rd spot isn't likely to do much better than 0-4 either.
