Complete Coverage >

W-L ERA WHIP K BB
2008 - Brad Thompson 4-2 4.34 1.44 26 16

W-L ERA WHIP K BB
2008 - Bronson Arroyo 10-9 5.44 1.51 120 48

This is probably the biggest game of the night for the Reds.  A win tonight and they play tomorrow.  A loss and they have to wait until Saturday to play again.  It's all on Bronson's shoulders to get the job done.  Let's hope he's up to the task.

Thompson is a righty, so expect to C-Dick play tonight.  Rumor was yesterday that Cherry will be in the lineup tonight too.  I guess there's only one thing left to do.  Win. The. Whole. Damn. Thing.

All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?

Yeah

I think I’m batting about .670 in Reds wins after first posts.

But at this point, it doesn’t really matter, does it?

My balls are made of topaz

I’m more a hello man and a welcome man than a good-bye man. And to me Adam Dunn was more a person than a player.

no, it's a little known fact that the human testicle is made up of 90% topaz

does your mom's basement count as a room?

or do you consider it more of an auction floor?

Dammit

I was hoping the return of Hairston would kick Cockroach Corey out the lineup. Dude just won’t go away.

Clearly, Patterson > Keppinger.

And LLM is now our #5 hitter, eh?

Just wait

One morning he will wake up from his anxious dreams and discover that he has turned into Gregor Samsa.

The Mercy Rule????

This team is on fire, taking 2 of 3 from the Pirates. Now that Dunn is gone we can really start to see the playoff push beginning!

And I guess Votto

will be back tomorrow. I thought it was today. And I also thought bereavement leave coudn’t last an entire week.

by cesarhernandez on Aug 15, 2008 5:19 PM EDT   0 recs

I think it's fairly open-ended (or maybe they have to get an extension or something)

Gonzalez was on bereavement for several weeks last season for his son. At some point though, you would think FMLA would kick in. I guess not for Votto or Gonzalez though.

so...his team = his game console?

i.e. If you don’t like it, I’ll just take my game and go home.

Yonder hangs with A-Rod?

Screw ‘em then. He’ll end up being extremely un-clutch. And I doubt that, with five hours to go, the Reds have reached ‘final offer’ status. I’m sure they could still budge a little.

the Yankees...

…have given up on their first round pick. He’s decided to go to college instead. (UCLA, not Harvard as he hoped.)

Man, I don’t get that. You can always go to college later. You’re not likely to get a better deal out of college than you get as a first round draft pick. What if you blow your arm out in college or something?

A 99 Firebird with front end paint damage?

I could probably get you an estimate on that.

You get a lot more of that...

…if you’re a pro ball player.

And he wanted to go to Harvard. Come on, everyone knows brains and beauty and inversely proportional!

Everyone also knew he wouldn't go to Harvard.

Have you seen the women at UCLA?

I almost was one

I still get mail from some sorority there.

didn't he...

…get his law degree from North Carolina?

by BubbaFan on Aug 15, 2008 8:18 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

yep

And he really plays up that affiliation rather than the NCSU one. It’s an unmistakable bit of snobbery that largely went unnoticed outside of the state, but rankled many folks locally.

My ex used to work for him and worships(ed?) him. I met him a few times, and I always thought he was the biggest fake imaginable. She used to lose it when I’d get drunk and launch into my two americas patter. Guaranteed fight.

Dude could make a speech though.

Fundraising

Did he highlight his Tarheelness bc you can milk more $$ from UNC alums? That’s the only reason I can think of bc it is unusual to emphasize your law/grad school over your undergrad. Clinton was seen as a Georgetown guy, not a Yalie, just as one example.

by ken on Aug 16, 2008 7:33 AM EDT to parent up   0 recs

I think that's probably right

UNC also has more political cache and has deeper ties to the Southern progressive movement.

who is somewhere to the right of Attila the Hun, seriously considered voting for Edwards because they are both NC State alums.
