Game 153: Reds vs Brewers

Milwaukee Brewers at Cincinnati Reds, Sep 19, 2008 7:10 PM EDT



Next Game

Milwaukee Brewers
@ Cincinnati Reds

Friday, Sep 19, 2008, 7:10 PM EDT
Great American Ball Park

Seth McClung vs Ramon Ramirez

 

Complete Coverage >



W-L ERA WHIP K BB
2008 - Seth McClung 5-6 4.31 1.44 76 49



W-L ERA WHIP K BB
2008 - Ramon Ramirez 0-0 2.25 0.75 12 6


You know, if Ramon Ramirez keeps pitching like he has, he might find himself pitching in the 5th spot in the rotation next season while Bailey and Thompson get sent to Triple-A (and I almost forgot Micah Owings).  Not that I think that Ramirez is turning into a star, but it sure is nice to have so many options for next season's rotation already.  Hopefully this means that the Reds won't be signing any Josh Foggs or Kirk Saarlooses.

This series is the Reds last chance this year to pay back the Brewers for 1999.  What's weird is that I'm kinda rooting for the Brewers to make the playoffs (my NL rooting list goes DBacks, Brewers, Phillies right now).  However, it sure would be sweet to get some redemption for the last time the Reds came close, but not close enough (2006 doesn't count since the Reds didn't deserve it anyway).  It's nothing personal, battlekow.  It's just business.

I’m going to the game tonight, and a little bummed that this may be my last chance (realistically) to see EdE in a Reds uniform, and he’s not playing. At least I can celebrate knowing that this will be the last time I see "K"orey, right? Right…?

NONONONONO please don't get that impression

Dikembe is just a crazy dude that has a bit of a temper, and he would undoubtedly admit this. This is his signature:

If I’m not drunk, I’m at work.

He’s not at work.

We’re all passed the point of “pissed off” and in the stage of “denial” and “shock”. Don’t think any of you aren’t welcome or anything because one guy jokingly invoked that he didn’t want to talk about Bill Hall. Only Cub fans aren’t welcome, Reds fans are fine. You guys certainly raise the quality of the less lively in-game threads.

I just didn’t want to come off like I was gloating or rubbing this game in your face. Collapses are no fun.

Also, some of us (myself included) have harbored a bit of a grudge against the Brewers for kicking our ass at the end of 1999 and causing us to miss the playoffs. After tonight, I think payback has officially been had, and the grudge shall be harbored no more.

We do go batshit insane on Cubs fans that come over to gloat, though. I posted this pic one time and I started a huge war, some Cubs fans thought I was some radical terrorist given my user name.

I like checking out other SBN sites (you may have noticed me over at BCB), but the average poster Blah Cubbie Blah is just such a mouth-breather. Never anything funny to say, rarely anything insightful to add about the game. They suck so much, but at least they generally leave our site alone. I’ve seen them on yours. It’s not pretty.

he says stuff like “You guys are still complaining about that no-hitter?” (no one is) and then says the Brewers won’t make the playoffs for years. Give it up, folks. I’d hope there is a bit of a permanent peace treaty between posters at BCB and Red Reporter.

Not that I matter

But I’d like to see a return of the themes. Weren’t Tuesdays at the beginning of the season fun? My specific vote would go to split-personality day, that was a hell of a thread

Meanwhile in the Bronx

One out left, game on the line. For some reason, the Orioles are pinch-hitting for Juan Castro.

No, no

Mariano Rivera was on the mound. He’s right-handed. You can’t pinch-hit a righty against a righty.
