Game 135: Reds vs Giants

San Francisco Giants at Cincinnati Reds, Aug 29, 2008 7:10 PM EDT



Next Game

San Francisco Giants
@ Cincinnati Reds

Friday, Aug 29, 2008, 7:10 PM EDT
Great American Ball Park

Barry Zito vs Edinson Volquez

Partly cloudy with a 50-percent chance of rain. Winds blowing out to left field at 5-10 m.p.h. Game Time temperature: Around 85.

 

Complete Coverage >



W-L ERA WHIP K BB
2008 - Barry Zito 8-15 5.31 1.65 91 85



W-L ERA WHIP K BB
2008 - Edinson Volquez 15-5 2.80 1.32 155 73


You know what's great about this game?  Barry Zito is making $14,107,500 more than Edinson Volquez this season.  That number will likely go up to over $18 million next season.  How much must it suck to know that your team still owes Barry Zito $101.5 million?

The Reds won 10-1 when these two pitchers faced off in April in San Francisco.  I believe that was the game where Brandon Phillips hit 2 home runs and then told Hal McCoy (and others) to go away since they only want to talk to him when he's going well.  I wouldn't mind seeing a repeat performance if only for the fact that the Reds would actually score some runs for once.

Today's stat of the day: The only team with more CS+PO (caught stealing plus pick offs) this season than the Reds (59) is the Tampa Bay Rays (65).  The difference is that TB has stolen 124 bases while the Reds have stolen just 74.  Oh, well that and the fact that TB has had 103 more base runners in 38 fewer plate appearances.  Nothing like giving outs away when you're not getting very many base runners to begin with.

I mean, yay Volquez and all

But this game doesn’t really excite me. The 3-day weekend is here and all of my housemates are out of town. Who wants to come over? I got movies, booze, and Wii. There’s chips, and I just got my very first Crass album, and I’m excited to play it loud. Who’s in?

Who's in - Sarah Palin called and she coming...

Heard her speak today a bit…kinda like Marge in Fargo…Not nearly as cool as Francis McDormand… could be the death knell for Sgt. McCain

How much does it suck to know that Barry Zit face is still on your team and you still owe him big bucks….NOT NEARLY as much as knowing that Dusty Baker is your manager and isn’t going away and is owed big manager bucks.

You can tell your uncle stuff that you could not tell your dad. That is kind of the role of an uncle. I feel very much like a father sometimes but sometimes I feel like a teammate.

she's not even breathing hard

I’m quite bemused by the reaction to this pick. Both the lefty and wingnut blogs are thrilled. The Dems think McCain gave them a gift with this pick, the GOP thinks this drives a stake through the heart of Obama/Biden.

FWIW, McCain is gaining ground on the news at In-Trade.

Like you were going to anyway

I don’t believe the undercard makes a difference, to tell you the truth. People vote for the top of the ticket, not the bottom. For all the Sturm und Drang over this…in the end, the VP doesn’t matter. It never does. Hillary voters aren’t going to vote for McCain just because he picked a girl for VP, and McCain voters aren’t going to turn away from him because he picked someone young and inexperienced.

Not quite 50-50

At 72, he has a life expectancy of 12 years. Probably longer, since he’s reasonably healthy and well-off. So he’s likely to live out two terms.

plus the 4 cancer bouts, but I s'pose it's besides the point

BubbaFan is right, I’ve been quite amused by the excitement generated by both sides. McCain did get his wish and got Obama’s speech knocked off the headlines. However, Ido get the feeling that this was more a move of desperation than reasoned judgment. Regardless, this has been quite the season for political drama, eh?

Alternately

He could have a longer than expected life expectancy…as evidenced by the fact that he survived his POW days. Look at all those Holocaust survivors who lived be ancient.

The scariest thing might be if he’s alive and strong, but suffering from dementia. But then, we’ve already had that, Ronald Reagan.

i was never going to vote mccain anyway (i like to vote for the radical socialist/whig candidate) but picking a veep with her kind of experience flat out scares me. mccain most likely wouldnt die in office, though it is a valid concern, but in the event she has about as much experience as Marietta’s own Nancy Hollister.

Speaking of disasters...

Looks like Hurricane Gustav is “bombing out.” (Rapidly increasing in strength.) Still too early to be sure of where it will land and how big it will get. The National Hurricane Center is still saying Louisiana is the most likely target, but the computer models have been trending west today. One possibility is that it will hit Houston as a Category 5. If that happens…the Reds may not be playing that last series against the Astros.

Rooting for the Penguins in the Tressel Bowl? Not cool.

Tressel’s won 4 national championships with YSU, and only one with OSU. So in a way, the Buckeyes are underdogs.

In another, more accurate way, they’re blowing Youngstown out of the water.

by Brendanukkah on Aug 29, 2008 10:59 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

If he goes to the NFL, he's a fool

He owns the Big 10 for the foreseeable future, and he just made a deal to assure himself of being the highest paid coach in the conference. He’s been to the national championship game 3 times in six years, with a fourth trip not unthinkable this year. His job security is amazing.

The coaching lifespan in the NFL is much shorter, and I would think a lot more stress-filled. Every team is a quality opponent, and the players’ egos are much larger (still shaking my head over Chad Ocho Cinco). Why any football coach at a major college program would leave for the pros is beyond me.

It shouldn't be Marvin Lewis

But it shouldn’t be Tressel either. Besides, the way the Bengals seem to actively ignore OSU when recruiting, I doubt he’d even be on their radar.

by Brendanukkah on Aug 29, 2008 11:09 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

It would cost a mint to lure Tressel away..

Mikey Brown wouldn’t let go of that much money…

Hmmm Back from "Tell No One"

 interesting. decent story, and although it a Frog movie there’s no sex, a moderate amount of modest nudity, However some lesbo action – worth the money…meanwhile looks like I miss EdE’s slam and C-Dick’s coming out party.

I read some not nice commentary about OSU – Daughter #4 is attending their medical engineering school..Go Bucks

BTW why is Hobart on this team?

As I've said

I’ve never been a huge football fan for some reason. The problem I have with college ball is that many times there’s one guy on the field that’s head and shoulders above everyone else talent-wise (Reggie Bush/Randy Moss types) and the good teams never play each other out of conference.

Andrew - Hobart is too old. He's damn near as old asI (I'm 59)

plus he not very good in the filed. I’m sure he’s swell guy. But I’d rather see Rosales, A. Phillip and any other young guy from our farm system get the playing time. Hobart ain’t going to be here next year. Its not CoPat where we’ve run out of OFs…Look to the Future (I learned that watching the Democratic convention)

Here a shot of Hobart as a rookie
