Game 47: Reds at Dodgers, Part III

Apparently Johnny Cueto is in at first.

Marty is either loaded or going senile. I’m not sure he’s gotten a name correct all night.

I should have gone to see Indiana Jones instead of this turd of a game, but since I’m about to fall asleep right now, it’s probably better that I wait for a matinee.

Last time I went to a playoff game the entirety of both teams drop[ped gloves and fought at the end of the game. Goalies, bench, everyone. The intensity is unreal. I never thought I’d like hockey but much like car racing (open-wheel anyway), it is a MUCH better sport in person.

You ever watch junior hockey?

That’s the best. I used to write game summaries for the Cleveland Barons (back when they existed), and between periods they’d have kids come out and play PeeWee hockey. It’s the most adorable and fun-filled thing ever.

Oh, and Vesa Toskala, the goalie for the Barons back in those days, is now getting posterized by Sidney Crosby in a Gatorade commercial.

by Brendanukkah on May 22, 2008 12:30 AM EDT up 0 recs

Agreed about open-wheel racing.

I’ve been to the Indy 500 three times, loved it every time. And I hate every other kind of racing. It’s one of those things that’s hard to explain the appeal of it unless you experience it.

Exactly

I had absolutely no interest until a couple of years ago when tix were dropped into my lap the day before and I asked my dad (open-wheel defender to the death) to go. We were both awed by the race, but I was more struck by the experience.
It’s probably my most cherished memory with my dad, when we looked at each other when they passed the first time at full speed. “Holy Shit” were the words of the day.

So Ryan Howard has 68 strikeouts so far this year.

By comparison, Dunn has 38. Impressive, though I’m not sure who for.

The reason his strikeouts seem so high

Is that he’s double counting the strikeouts by also logging them in the website. Philadelphia Phillies Infinity.

I wonder what the April/may record is.

by Fat Vegas Alan on May 22, 2008 12:17 AM EDT up 0 recs

Dunno, but he's on pace for 230.

And he’s got that .695 OPS to go along with it.

by Geki on May 22, 2008 12:18 AM EDT up 0 recs

Back of the envelope...

FWIW, Howard’s already beaten Dunn’s 2004 clip.

Can we get this motherfucker a guaranteed 1st inning at bat already

Curse and drat, he's outmaneuvered us.

by Man Mountain on May 22, 2008 12:17 AM EDT 0 recs

no, we cannot.

by Gray on May 22, 2008 12:17 AM EDT up 0 recs

We could. But we won’t.

by Fat Vegas Alan on May 22, 2008 12:19 AM EDT up 0 recs

The first inning is usually a lost cause anyways.

Given that we typically have two guaranteed outs at the top of the order.
