Game Thread: Game 53 vs. the Astros

ASTROS PROBABLE: REDS PROBABLE:
Jason Jennings (0-1, 3.00) Matt Belisle (4-4, 4.65)
Two in a row? The Astros have lost eight straight. It's funny, because all NL Central teams are screwed a little from the start having to compete in a six team division, but you certainly can't complain about that given how bad most of the teams are year in and year out.
Also: Alan, I will miss you. The perfectly timed Internet Picture/animated gif is a tough art to perfect, but you sir were a master.
Go Reds!

Anything that goes wrong tonight i'm blaming
The Lineup
Hopper CF
Hatteberg 1B
Griffey RF
Phillips 2B
Dunn LF
Encarnacion 3B
Gonzalez SS
Moeller C
Belisle P
Ross was a late scratch, due to "flu-like symptoms."

Valentin is a good pinch-hitter.
This management defies logic.

This is Dunn's Breakdown...
30% of the time he'll walk.
20% of the time he'll hit a home run.
10% of the time he'll double or single.
After adding up my percentages, I just showed that Dunn is a 300 hitter. So ignore everything above this sentence.
by chandrathan on May 29, 2007 8:09 PM EDT up reply actions
think again
then everyone would complain because he struck out 200 times, breaking that record, too.
what's up with
Alan...
But then I thought, no, Alan is leaving us to more fully enjoy the fruits of the "real world," and for one night I can follow his example.
So happy trails. I expect your death to be spectacular, and I look forward to reading it. Cross your fingers that you take Jerry with you...

.244 OBP leadoff man
Seriously, we have two players in the lineup today with 0 walks this season. And the best part about Norris Hopper? He's not even the worst hitter on the team, since we have Juan Castro putting up an OPS lower than Junior's on-base percentage (.389 vs. .398).
He did something right
Pays Very well...
Narron is one of the lowest paid managers in baseball. That's been part of the Reds hiring philosophy for the last few years. Like when Bob Boone was hired and they said they wouldn't pay more than 300,000 for their new manager.
Until that thinking changes, the Reds will probably continue to struggle and have crappy managers.

Alright
is there a pool as to how he'll do it?
And the whole town's waitin' just to hear me yell I've got 24 minutes to go
Well they gave me some beans for my last meal I've got 23 minutes to go
But nobody asked me how I feel I've got 22 minutes to go
Well I sent for the governor and the whole dern bunch with 21 minutes to go
And I sent for the mayor but he's out to lunch I've got 20 more minutes to go
Then the sheriff said boy I gonna watch you die got 19 minutes to go
So I laughed in his face and I spit in his eye got 18 minutes to go
Now hear comes the preacher for to save my soul with 13 minutes to go
And he's talking bout' burnin' but I'm so cold I've 12 more minutes to go
Now they're testin' the trap and it chills my spine 11 more minutes to go
And the trap and the rope aw they work just fine got 10 more minutes to go
Well I'm waitin' on the pardon that'll set me free with 9 more minutes to go
But this is for real so forget about me got 8 more minutes to go
With my feet on the trap and my head on the noose got 5 more minutes to go
Won't somebody come and cut me loose with 4 more minutes to go
I can see the mountains I can see the skies with 3 more minutes to go
And it's to dern pretty for a man that don't wanna die 2 more minutes to go
I can see the buzzards I can hear the crows 1 more minute to go
And now I'm swingin' and here I go-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o!
Cash. Not Narron.
But the strangest of them all
Was a friend of mine who spent his time staring at the wall
Staring at thewall
As he stared at that wall so strong and tall
You could hear him softly curse nobody at all
Ever climbed that wall but i'm gona be the first
Yeah i'm gona be the first
The warden walked by and said son don't try
I'd hate to see you fall
For there is no doubt they'll carry you out
If you ever touch that wall
If you ever touch that wall
Well a years gone by since he made his try
But I can still recall
How hard he tried and the way he died
But he never made that wall
He never made that wall
Theres never been a man ever shook this can
But I know a man who tried
The newspapers called it a jail break plan
But I know it was suicide
I know it was suicide

The All time wins record isn't that close...
I've just always seen Duke as the standard bearer in college basketball. And I like coach K a lot better than I like Dean Smith or like Roy Williams. Also, Duke's blue is quality. Carolina's blue is nauseating...
Also, Kentucky got their win back against Duke in 98. So Laetner's shot doesn't have nearly the sting it used to. All I see when I think of Duke is Padgett and Mills hitting those threes.

And yes, in my lifetime, Duke has been the standard bearer for college basketball.
by chandrathan on May 29, 2007 10:59 PM EDT up reply actions
So far
- uniform colors
- the "bearing of standards"
- unlikability of Coach adored by everyone ever.
You realize that the idea of Duke as the "standard bearer" in college basketball is largely a product of the 1990s ESPN hype machine that you seem to despise in all of its other incarnations, i.e. BBTN and the Yankees?
by Man Mountain on May 29, 2007 11:08 PM EDT up reply actions
I hate everything about Carolina...
They are the only team that I hate on the level that I hate the Yankees.
I don't like the coaches or the players. I don't respect anything about the program.
I think Duke has recently been, and is currently the better program. I root for Duke to lose if they are playing anyone but Carolina.
Roy Williams is my least favorite figure in all of sports. I think he was classless when he beat UK by 60 at Kansas, and I think he was classless in the way he treated Kansas when it came to the Carolina job.

So, when you call up your shrink
dearly beloved
5 He who was seated on the throne said, "I am making everything new!" Then he said, "Write this down, for these words are trustworthy and true."
6 He said to me: "It is done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. To the thirsty I will give water without cost from the spring of the water of life. 7 Those who are victorious will inherit all this, and I will be their God and they will be my children. 8 But the cowardly, the unbelieving, the vile, the murderers, the sexually immoral, those who practice magic arts, the Astros, the Cubs, the idolaters and all liars--they will be consigned to the fiery lake of burning sulfur. This is the second death."
Maybe Jerry knows what he is doing....

Good Night
I bring the body of the Great Chief, who has gone to rejoin DLRoger234 and the spirits of his glorious ancestors. It is right for us to remember Alan. He was a great poster and the peoples of the world vied with each other to do him homage. In his own island, among the peoples of Crawfish Boxes and Bleed Cubbie Blue, across the great waters to the mainland, far beyond in the cold lands of the North, Alan's name was a name of terror. Gunner40 rose against him and is no more. Gunner41 also. They are gone before him to prepare suitable lodging among the fields of his ancestors. Thousands fell by his right hand. The words of his mouth were like thunder in the hills. Weep, women of Red Reporter, for your royal lover is torn from your arms. His virility was inexhaustible, his progeny numerous beyond human computation. His staff was a grown palm tree. Weep, warriors of Red Reporter. When he led you to battle there was no retreating. In council the most guileful, in justice the most terrible, Alan the magnificent is dead.
well said
Lo, there do I see my mother and my sisters and my brothers
Lo, there do I see the line of my people back to the beginning
Lo, they do call to me
They bid me take my place among them in the Halls of Valhalla
Where the brave may live.
Forever.
In memoriam
Good-bye, and thanks for all the cat pictures.

Alright.
Mid-way through the process, I panicked. I wasn't sure whether I should have drained the water off the beans or not. I had a Krivsky moment and almost traded the whole works for a package of Ramen Noodles I found, outdated by several years obviously. But I held the line, said "fuck it, it's almost midnight and you've asked your internet friends tell you how to cook over the internet. can it end up that bad?"
So I sit and wait.....and I drink.
How did this turn out?
by Paul Householder on May 30, 2007 1:59 PM EDT up reply actions
Honestly?
I took pictures.....drunk. I'll have to see if they were any good. But thanks again to the RR crew for helpin' a brother out!
Love to see the pictures...
- Things that taste bad usually taste better if you're drunk.
- Things that have Skyline Chili on top of them generally taste better than things that don't.

People on my shit list after this game:
Brandon Phillips. STOP SWINGING AT BALLS AND STOP MAKING ERRORS IN THE NINTH INNING, OKAY?
Chad Moeller. Are you aware of the concept of a "breaking ball"? I'm pretty sure all anyone has to do is possess a pitch besides a fastball and they can get you to strike out.
David Weathers. You're lucky. Walking two guys to load the bases bringing up the clean-up hitter is inexcusable, whether the team got out of it or not. Go back to your Doritos 3D and get away from my closing situations.
Jerry Narron: You were going good for a while there. Yeah, you let Norris Hopper lead off, but that was so expected that I won't even hold it against you too much. I even liked bringing in Coutlangus for Belisle in the 8th. Then the 9th inning came and you decided to take out 2 of the team's 3 best hitters in a one-run game and also didn't leave Coutlangus in to face at least the first batter of the inning. Good try, but you still suck.
Everybody else: Good job! I don't hate you (today)!
Alan...
There was a 12-car pile-up, everybody dead
And I saw brains and guts and vital organs splattered everywhere
As well as my friend Alan's disembodied head
And I thought - Poor Al, I just blogged with him
Hey, wait a minute, he still owes me money . what a jerk
Well, there's five bucks that I'm never gonna see again
Plus now, on top of everything else, it looks like I'm gonna be late to work
Oh, WHY DOES this always happen...
WHY DOES this always happen to me?
