St. Louis Cardinals at Cincinnati Reds, Sep 16, 2008 7:10 PM EDT

Arroyo is 20 IP from his 4th straight 200 inning season. He's also one win away from a career high. It's September Reds baseball...time to play for milestones!
The Cardinals have lost 5 in a row and sit 4.5 back in the wild card race. This is the fourth time in the last 5 series where the Reds opponent has come into the series with a losing streak of 5 games or more (the one that didn't, Milwaukee, is 3-11 in their last 14). The Reds are 7-5 in the previous 4 series. So, take any winning the Reds are doing right now with a giant grain of salt.
Anyone else disappointed that they aren't doing a bobble-arm doll for Tom Browning? (Too soon?)

1-6?
since when is Keppinger an adequate 6 hitter? its a shame, because i was all behind Keppinger at the beginning of the year. i even went so far as to question the BP extension because i thought he could be a solid everyday second basemen for us.
he really has fallen off, and its hard to believe that his OPS+ this year is 69( thats what she said). i still think he could be an average second basemen with average defense and an OPS+ ~100, but no way i would count on that. at this point i seriously doubt he could hold down a regular job as a utility man. on some other team, you know, because on this team he’s the our starting SS.

It's better than him batting 2nd
and considering the “integrity” of the race, you know he’ll be in the lineup somewhere.

by Charlie Scrabbles on Sep 16, 2008 6:24 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Right.
Just because it’s not completely terrible doesn’t mean it’s not kind of terrible. I actually like Hairston batting 2nd and Votto 3rd. I’m thinking this 3-5 may be the heart of the order for the rest of the season, and maybe next year with BP batting 2nd. I’d be fine with that.

i'd rather have someone with better OBP skills hitting 2nd
but im really ok with that. unfortunately i think Dickerson/Bruce/Votto is probably the best 1-2-3 we have, but thats just too many lefties. BP has to hit somewhere, and im afraid he would throw a conniption if it were lower than 4.

Just
because it’s not kind of terrible doesn’t mean it’s not sort of terrible. and just because it’s not sort of terrible doesn’t mean it’s not slightly terrible. and just because it’s not slightly terrible doesn’t mean it’s not marginally terrible. and just because it’s not marginally terrible doesn’t mean its not at all terrible. and just because it’s not at all terrible doesn’t mean it’s not at all terrible.

AS much as I don't think CoPat is all that good I can live with him in the line up.
BUT WHAT’S THE FUCKING DEAL WITH HAVING BAKO IN THERE? HUH DUSTBALLS?
Its gonna be along, long night. The Cards come to town with a losing streak and Tony Laloser will try every sabremetric trick in the book to win. Meanwhile in the other dugout there won’t be enough room for the young guys to even sit on the bench what with LLM over there and all. These long one run winning games by the Reds recently remind me again and again just how late in the season it is – playing our regulars agins their AAA call ups…I really don’t hate Dusty – I just wish he’d decide to hang up his rock ’n roll spikes.

DC United is playing a CONCACAF Champions League game tonight
I thought about going, but decided to save my cash. They’re showing it on Galavision anyway. Good thing I didn’t go. Zach Wells, the David Weathers of goalkeeping, just let in his second goal of the game. Guh.

I figured you'd be all over that one
Saprissa is a pretty tough team though. Especially with how MLS teams are doing so far in the CCL, I would have thought they’d be lucky to come away with a draw tonight.

Yeah, United's schedule is really full right now, and they have a lot of injuries
It might have been prudent to just pick one thing to focus on (either Champions League or winning their MLS games, then making a strong run at MLS Cup), which is pretty much what New England did. Instead, they’re trying to half ass it with both and failing in both. If they were going to do anything in Champions League, they need to win at home, but putting Zach Wells in goal is basically admitting defeat.

and it looked like Fred was wearing the captain’s armband. Considering that he’s about fifth in line for that honor, it wasn’t a good thing.
Maybe if our Argentinians (Marcelo Gallardo and Gonzalo Peralta) weren’t so slow to heal from sports hernias, we’d be alright. Alas.

I'd let him come to spring training
if, and only if, he was the bellhop at the team hotel. Other than that, I think he’s worn out his welcome. If he’s playing at spring training, they’re taking too big of a risk that he’ll end up making the team and getting a 3.5 million dollar contract like he did this year.

I was looking over my numbers and realized
Aaron Harang has just four wins more this season that I do. That’s pretty impressive.
by MyScreenNameIsKevin on Sep 16, 2008 11:38 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
Teams this season with two 15-game winners
Team Number Players Matching ---------------------------------+------+-----------------------------------------+ Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim 2 Ervin Santana / Joe Saunders Boston Red Sox 2 Jon Lester / Daisuke Matsuzaka Chicago Cubs 2 Ted Lilly / Ryan Dempster Toronto Blue Jays 2 A.J. Burnett / Roy Halladay Arizona Diamondbacks 2 Brandon Webb / Dan Haren Cincinnati Reds 2 Edinson Volquez / Bronson Arroyo
One of these teams is not like the others. Actually, two of them are not like the others, but one of those two just happens to be in the right division.

and neither one of those guys is named Harang
kinda gives you some hope for next season, doesnt it? if Harang gets back to normal and Cueto takes a step forward this rotation could be top-o’-the-line.
and Corey Patterson will be selling fruit on the side of the road.
