Game 20 Thread: Dodgers at Reds

Anyone else been dreaming of knocking out Penny?

80’s Reds teams were at times very painful. How about some 80’s Reds trivia? Name the player who hit the most home runs during the 1980’s as a member of the Reds. and…
name the pitcher that gave up the most home runs as a Red during the 80’s.

(she sucks, worst 20 bucks I’ve spent in a while)

Dang… Guess I can’t show up… :P

did y’all kidnap to come up with our theme nights?

MUSHROOM HUNTER FINDS WOMAN’S BODY.

huh?

The Reds will be facing a Dodger team that hasn’t been able to hit their way out of a [bad metaphor] of late. Andruw Jones and Russell Martin have been really struggling, though Jones had a decent week, raising his average to .182. James Loney has also been struggling of late, though he atleast hits the ball hard and doesn’t look foolish like Jones does. It seems as if Joe Torre is throwing out a different lineup every night, composing his own game of baseball jenga. Penny, who pitches tonight has been solid and Guo who pitches tomorrow night has been nearly unhittable pitching both out of the pen and starting rotation. With Guo you will probably see something similar to Volquez. Nasty stuff, very wild at times, and striking out a lot of hitters. Since you are facing an NL West team, I have ran your game 3000 times on my simulator, which is competing against the LV Hilton Sports Book for prediction accuracy (Hilton slightly ahead).

Tonight’s Win Expectancy:
My Simulator: Dodgers 50.67%
LV Hilton SB: Dodgers 55.95%

Awesome!

A new labyrinth every day

Ah you guys do you remember the days of davy Lopes, steve Garvey, Ron Cey, Dustbag Baker,Billy Russell, Tommy John, Steve Yeager, Reggie Smith and I believe wasn’t Kent Murker on that team too…Boy we’d have 56,000 plus in Rverfront…thems was the days.
Go Reds

seems like he has done ok against Penny in the past. Maybe we will see 597 tonight.

He is in mid season form

He’s always sucked!

...this is not a fortuitous start.

in their first inning of their first game of the season?

Come back! All is forgiven.

to think i was actually optimistic

weak, homey

But I have a query to those who bought the audio thing on mlb.com. Is there any way to not get the damn SI subscription with the audio?? Seems like some bull shit stipulation that I’ll end up paying 40 more bucks for.

pitches a work of art AB to Jeff Kent.

weird cat

Bako – hey man, did you have an apt in Louisville?

where a dog tag?

same result

Bad contract Krivsky

Count the number of pitches the lady in red sitting in the second row behind home plate actually sees. So far, I’m up to zero.

With people on base, does Belisle noticeably lose velocity or location?

edwin says fuck you to the haters

Looking like a short day for Mike Belisle

thanks, beautiful

not that anyone will notice

the reds’ offense will 10 innings for that

is a hero to mullet laden Cops fans everywhere

while im gone you do your homework, have the reds score 6 runs, and somebody punch Jeff Kent in the face.

He assumes nothing!

Gameday has gone directly to Bako, do not pass EE…

I might need to desperately suck my own balls

So we can replace him with Josh Fogg and start the game over.

...magically changed Bako into EE. But now they’ve skipped Bako and gone directly to Belisle.

I forsee runs in the next couple of innings.

Right on Politics, Left on Base

yes they did, Chris, yes they did

There should be a home run here.

$5 Little Ceasar’s pizza
KFC
Crispy Chicken Sandwich from Wendy’s
Moe’s burrito

I can’t decide.

If the fifth starter spot can suck so much that it actually counteracts the improvements in the #3 and #4 slots.

wtf?

...bring in Fogg? Or leave Belisle in to take one for the team?

on Ball 3.

He’s the best.

What’s Freel dong on first?

ooh good as im typing he got thrown out, eveything is right withthe world

getting on my tits, Freel

...is living, breathing proof that speed does not a good baserunner make.

Marty’s son thinks that some USA Today editor said some of the most unfair things anybody has ever said about anybody. Is that ironic?

3rd CS so far?

Time for new ones.

Marty just complained about a Wild Bill Walker. Who is he?
