Game Thread: Game 161 vs. the Pirates

by JD Arney on Sep 30, 2006 6:46 PM EDT in News

TIME: 7:05 @ PNC Park

PIRATES PROBABLE: REDS PROBABLE:
Marty McLeary (1-0, 3.38) Bronson Arroyo (14-10, 3.27)

Not sure how many people will be paying attention now that death has come, but here's your game thread for tonight. Would be awfully nice to see Bronson get win number 15 as well as a .500 final record for the Reds.

Go Reds!

Yeah, I couldn't decide what

was better, paradox or irony, so I went with "weird" 'cause I'm cool like that.

In the Red Reporter Wiki

The link is on the main page. It's Womack-related.

Womack

It's amazing how much this team has changed since mid-April. It's a long season.

I read an article in the WSJ on Fri where baseball stat heads created a value for clutch hits. According to their scale, Womack had the greatest clutch hit of all time.

welcome to the wake

let's lift a glass to the Reds and 2006

May your glass be ever full.
May the roof over your head be always strong.
And may you be in heaven
half an hour before the devil knows you're dead.

Can't decide if this is a "Buckeye" year or not. Tonight should go a long way to deciding that.
