Johan Santana vs Johnny Cueto

Clear. Winds blowing from right to left field at 5-10 m.p.h. Game Time temperature: Around 90.

 

Complete Coverage >

W-L ERA WHIP K BB
2008 - Johan Santana 8-7 2.84 1.20 114 35

W-L ERA WHIP K BB
2008 - Johnny Cueto 7-9 4.67 1.36 97 40

Well this is a nice how-do-you-do. Still, we got 10 hits off Santana when we faced him back on May 10, and Edwin homered off him. So we'll see what happens.

Let's hope this is a positive start to the second "half" of the season. G'Reds!

Just went to the store

Picked up some Woodchuck and Two-Hearted Ale, and accessories for my hookah. It’s gonna be a good night.

I was planning on going to a show tonight

It’s free, but the venue doesn’t allow booze. Drag.

Oh, and probably a midnight showing of Batman, so I’m gonna need something with caffeine.

last Saturday. I’ll be there for the midnight show at the Regal in Beavercreek

Just about to post this...

but I’m pretty shocked that Patterson isn’t starting.

It’s reassuring to see Jr. back batting third, though.

The NY press

is talking about Andy Phillips’ eight-day Mets career. Apparently the Mets were hoping to stash him in New Orleans, but the Reds intervened.

I won’t be able to watch this game, alas. I’m working tonight. :-P

I learned something new today...

Apparently Ervin Santana’s real name is Johan… He got it changed to avoid any… comparisons.

Also from fay's blog
Jerry Hairston Jr. was placed on the 15-day disabled list for a right hamstring strain, retroactive to Monday.

"I’ll probably miss about 10 games. I tried out running today and it just didn’t feel right," Hairston said. "I guess, you know, we all kind of got together and said…well, if I overextend myself and blow it out, I’m out three months.”

"Hopefully I’ll be 100 percent in 10 days or so."

Jolbert Cabrera returned from a rehabilitation assignment and was reinstated from the 15-day DL. He said he’s feeling about 90 percent following a compound dislocation of his left index finger.

Today the Reds also returned from a rehab assignment, reinstated from the 60-day DL and optioned to Double-A Chattonooga LHP Bobby Livingston.

"compound dislocation"

I didn’t see it when it happened, but man that sounds unpleasant.

if Livingston is off the 60-day

than he’s on the 40 man, no? And then, I wonder, who’s place did he take?

...because there's already someone posing as Jacob Brumfield

if he was on the 60 day DL

he wasnt on the 40-man. so no, he didnt have to take anyone’s place when he came back. he had options i assume, so they just sent him to Chatty.

please dont shit on my dreams. i dont want shit on my dreams.

He was on the 40-man, though

I don’t think he can be removed from the 40-man without passing through waivers.

When facing Johan Santana, you need all the help you can get

"short hops" from a piece on mlb.com
Injured Reds starter Aaron Harang had his stiff right forearm examined again on Sunday and medical director Dr. Tim Kremchek was “pleased with the progress,” the club said. Kremchek will examine Harang on Thursday to determine when he can resume throwing again.

...

After the Reds closed out the first half in Milwaukee, Baker planned to remain in Wisconsin for the All-Star break. The plan was to fish Sturgeon Bay with a buddy. “I figured I might run into Brett Favre up there,” Baker joked. “I don’t know him, but he’s one of my favorite quarterbacks. I’m going walleye fishing on Monday, small-mouth fishing on Tuesday and watch the game Tuesday night. And then I’ll drive to Green Bay and check out Lambeau Field. I’ve never been there. Vince Lombardi is one of my favorite coaches, [my] favorite people. I’d like to go there and get some of that old Packer spirit of winning, put it in a glass, and bring it back here.”

“Nothing,” he said. “It was empty.”
