Game 157: Reds at Astros
Cincinnati Reds at Houston Astros, Sep 23, 2008 8:05 PM EDT
|
|
|
This is probably Volquez's second to last start of the season (he should start next on Sunday). He needs 3 more strikeouts to become only the 9th Reds pitcher to top 200 Ks for the season. He also needs only 8 walks to become the first Reds pitcher to walk 100 batters in a season since Mario Soto walked 104 in 1985. In fact, only two Reds pitchers since 1965 have walked 100 batters in a season - Soto in '85 and Bruce Berenyi in 1983. Volquez's first season in Cincinnati has definitely been unique.
If you haven't noticed, the Reds have already topped last season's win total. They've also clinched 5th place in the NL Central for the 5th time in the last 8 years.
The Astros are still technically alive in the Wild Card chase, but realistically they would have to win out and hope for a miracle. A loss tonight and a win by the Mets drops their elimination number to one. I'd say the Reds should do their part to make this happen, but they are 2-10 against the Astros this season and 6-21 over the last two seasons combined. Maybe if they'd stop pitching to Lance Berkman things would change...

We only have six more of these left in the season
That’s sobering. For as bad as the year has been, it seems like it went by pretty quickly.
Also, I have to wake up at 5:30 in the morning tomorrow, so screw you Astros for being in the Central time zone!

I'm a little upset that Stella said yes
And that she doesn’t like Star Wars. And that she’s a Mets fan.

Siphoning
A lot of new cars have anti-siphon devices on their gas tanks. (Basically, wire mesh so gas can get in, but you can’t get a hose in.)
Might be worth investing in a gas can. (Though “can” may be a misnomer, since most are plastic these days.)
Though if it’s anything like Katrina, gas cans are probably sold out, too.

You won't have to stay at your office all that time, will you?
This graph is from last week’s inventory report:

The blue band is the range of normal gasoline inventory. The red dots are where we are now. You can see we were at unprecedented lows even last week. Partly because the price of oil has been so high; refiners didn’t want to make a lot of gasoline with expensive inputs if they didn’t have to. Partly because this time of year, inventories are low anyway, as refineries switch over to “winter blends” of gasoline. And then came the hurricanes.
Interesting is where the shortages happened. This is how it was after Katrina, too. The southeast gets it worst. I’m not sure why that is.
