W-L ERA WHIP K BB
2008 - Manny Parra 8-2 3.65 1.52 72 49


Whoa-oh, we're (more than) half way there.  Whoa-oh, living on a prayer. 

Seriously, this series can't save the Reds season, but it sure as hell could put a nail in the coffin.  It would be nice to se the boys go into Milwaukee and win 2 of 3 like they did earlier this season.  Fogg on the mound doesn't instill that much confidence, but he pitched really well in his last start, so consider my fingers crossed.

Parra's ERA and WHIP seem a little disjointed to me.  He's doing it partly because he's only allowed 9 HR this year.  Since the Reds hit 7 yesterday, it's unlikely that they'll hit another one before the all star break, but who knows?

I'm kinda looking forward to playing the Brewers.  It seems like forever since the Reds have played them - probably because it has been forever.  They last played on April 20th.  If you are looking for a reference for how long ago that was, Corey Patterson still had an OPS of .733 at the time, though his batting average was .186.  In that April 20th game, Patterson drew two walks.  He's drawn exactly two walks in the 139 PAs since then and zero walks since April 28th.

Okay, enough about Patterson.  Time to get some positive energy going.  Think Lucky, Bitches!™

From Yankees beat reporter and blogger Peter Abraham
Just spoke to Brian Cashman to get his take on Eric Milton: "Nothing ventured, nothing gained," he said. "We’ll make an assessment of how he is physically and try and get him going. I have no expectations of whether he can pitch for us this season, either in the majors or minors. But I can’t tell you he won’t."

Cashman...

...cannot be trusted to evaluate pitchers.

I’m starting to think 2005 was the worst thing that could have happened to the Yankees. It seemed like great luck at first. Cashman kept picking up these pitchers off other teams’ trash piles, they kept turning into gold. He was catching lightning in a bottle, and everyone thought he was a genius.

I think he was just lucky. And now he keeps trying to catch that magic again. So the Yanks keep signing other teams’ castoffs.

P.S. to Dusty

Sometimes it’s a low scoring game BECAUSE you play small ball. Not the other way around.

Ross

this inning is the perfect example of how important walks are. Ross may not score, and his walk didn’t move a runner over. But HE DIDN’T MAKE AN OUT. The fact that Fogg’s out was only the first of the inning meant that Hairston could get a run in on the sac fly. Go walks!
