Game 159: Reds at Astros

Minute Maid Park

Johnny Cueto vs Roy Oswalt

Clear. Winds blowing in from right field at 5-15 m.p.h. Game Time temperature: Around 80.

 

Complete Coverage >

W-L ERA WHIP K BB
2008 - Johnny Cueto 9-13 4.62 1.38 157 65

W-L ERA WHIP K BB
2008 - Roy Oswalt 16-10 3.60 1.19 162 44

Ugh, more Roy Oswalt?  Can't the Reds miss him just once?

Tonight's the night that Cueto wins #10.  I've been pining for it for weeks, but it will be one last milestone for this team - 3 pitchers with 10 or more wins for the first time since 2000.  Also, if Cueto can pitch at least 5 innings tonight without giving up an earned run, his ERA will drop below 4.50 and his ERA+ will finish over 100.  I'll take that from a rookie.

Plus, they need to win out to get to 78 wins to match my prediction at the beginning of the season.  I don't like being wrong.  Don't make be wrong.

Hey, Mark Reynolds broke the 200 barrier in strikeouts as the DBacks lose

The Dodgers therefore clinch the NL West.

It’s all Dunn’s fault.

Holy crap

Since I don’t watch The Office (I know, I know) I did a GIS on Jenna Fischer.

1) Very cute. Especially like the Wired cover.

2) There was a picture from this site. WOW is about all I could say.

Dunn on Reynolds
Adam Dunn knows what teammate Mark Reynolds is going through. Dunn set the major league record of 194 strikeouts in 2004 and held it for three seasons, until Ryan Howard broke it in 2007. “There are two ways to look at it. It means you are out there playing every day. A lot of people would have passed that if they played every day,” Dunn said. “It sucks, but if you are producing out there, I’m not changing a thing. It’s a production game. How many times do you step on home plate?”

— via Yahoo

Are you out if you step on homeplate?

Dunn doesn’t know how to play the game the right way.

as much as I shit on New York (sorry, BubbaFan)

This makes me smile on the inside and the outside:

The plan for our first installment: to create a hamburger of such decadent and epic proportion that it would literally make women weep, men question their faith in God, and angels leap out of the clouds and sing.

I think they succeeded.

2. And/or a win by the Reds
3. Another exciting game thread
4. Mrs. M fast asleep
5. cause I’ll be fast drunk!

Gor Reds Go RRs

Picture of my team_ Me, Red, virgil, Perry and Dinkus
we were proud to be on Perry’s team

But then he died ( in a terrible RV accident) and Virgil went upstate for 15 years

Those were the days fellas… so now we bowl in the 3 man classic at Madville Lanes.

Patterson has 10 home runs this year

thats one more than the number of times he’s been caught stealing.
