Cincinnati @ St. Louis

Next Game

Cincinnati Reds
@ St. Louis Cardinals

Tuesday, Apr 29, 2008, 8:15 PM EDT
Busch Stadium

Johnny Cueto vs Joel Pineiro

Clear. Winds blowing out to laseft field at 5-10 m.p.h. Game Time temperature: Around 55.

Complete Coverage >

Al Behrman/AP (Cueto), Steven Senne/AP (Pineiro)

	W-L	ERA	WHIP	K	BB
2008 - Johnny Cueto	1-2	4.05	0.88	31	5

	W-L	ERA	WHIP	K	BB
2008 - Joel Pineiro	1-2	5.29	1.41	6	2

Johnny Cuest is coming off his worst start of the year. The Reds haven't won one of his starts since his first, though they've never given him more than 3 runs of support. He is also 7 strikeouts behind Jake Peavy for the league lead. Pineiro, meanwhile, is coming off his best start of the year, a 70 game-score gem against the Pirates. (All of his strikeouts happened in that game.) Any guesses for what tonight will bring?

Also, get your jockstraps ready, because tonight is Crotch Rock Tuesday! Hooha! The theme is any male musician who sets enamored fans adrizzle. Any dudes whose crotches have been oogled are in bounds. Please be creative with this one (but not too creative, Enrique Cruz fans). Start with Elvis, Tom Jones and Neil Diamond and go from there. The world of Crotch Rock is bound only by your imaginations.

fir...what?

Start with Elvis, Tom Jones and Neil Diamond and go from there. The world of Crotch Rock is bound only by your imaginations.

And the past 35 years.

Why don't you knock it off with them negative waves? Why don't you dig how beautiful it is out here? Why don't you say something righteous and hopeful for a change?

So I am guessing Pinerio will tie the Reds in stitches

i just have too many memories of Josh Phelps, Jimmy Anderson, and other shitty pitchers who couldn’t break window glass with their fastballs dominating the Reds.

It's Crotch Rock Night

And no David Lee Ross…

Too bad.

maybe switch Votto and Patterson

although Votto’s OBP is .329, that doesn’t really scream lead off. How about this

Kep
Phillips
Dunn
EdE
Griffey
Votto
Bako (until he cools off which is bound to happen)
Patterson
Cueto

The Yankees...

...are borrowing the Reds’ team physician, Dr. Timothy Kremcheck. He’s supposedly a shoulder specialist, so they want him to look at Posada’s scans.

the only thing that will suck is

my last final is on friday of that week, so I won’t get out of here until Saturday, but the day after I get home I have tickets to watch the Reds and Indians play a Sunday Matinee.

This nice thing about a small univeristy is you have scouting reports on all the Prof’s, so you know who is good, who is hard (which isn’t nescarily a bad thing) and who is just bad.

I had to dump your picture. It was too big for this early in the game thread. Sorry.

Phillips grounds to third

Patterson gets caught in a rundown. Keppinger gets to third, but then decides to run back to 2nd just as CPat runs out of the base line. Keppinger gets tagged out. Inning over.

so i was in my car parking

Griffey just struck out and the runners advanced. Ten seconds later I turn on the tv and its a commercial. I wondered if the pitcher got hurt. Keppinger can apparently hit like mays but he runs like shit

Let's see what the Cards can do with 2 on and no out

I’m betting double steal on a 3-2 count and then a base running double play
