Complete Coverage >

W-L ERA WHIP K BB
2008 - Adam Pettyjohn 0-0 4.50 2.00 1 0

W-L ERA WHIP K BB
2008 - Kyle Lohse 15-6 3.78 1.30 119 49

You know, one of these years a guy like Adam Pettyjohn is going to start the last game of the season in order to help the Reds set up their rotation for the playoffs, kinda like the Cubs are doing with Zambrano today.  Until then, we get to close the season with someone who won't likely be in the organization next year.  I'm not dogging on Pettyjohn, just looking forward to the day when game 162 isn't the end of the season.

So when the Reds clinched a winning month on Tuesday by beating Houston, apparently they reached their goal for the month as they have lost 4 in a row since then.  It'd be nice if they finished the season on a win, but whatever.  It's been a long season - even though it always seems to end too early - let's get moving on making 2009 something much better than 2008.

One last note - let's try to keep the Bengals game threading to a minimum.  If you want to talk about the Bengals, check out the Cincy Jungle.  I don't mind the occasional updates, but it seems like the last couple of Sunday game threads have been more Bengals than Reds.  Kirkendall puts a lot of effort into his Cincy Jungle site and he actually cares about the Bengals.  Go talk about them there.

what are the odds that if Pettyjohn pitches well

Chris and George cum all over him, and talk about how he is prooving he should be looked at for next year?

Thanks for an entertaining season everybody

It’s been great to have gamethreads to entertain me as my life has gotten increasingly surreal. Let’s take it out with a win, Mr. Pettyjohn!

Another successful season here at RR

Well done everybody. It’s nice to see more “regulars” around and it’s awesome to see this place evolve into a great online community as well as the definitive source for Reds information and analysis on the web. I’m sure Slyder has a few things planned for the offseason, so this place will still be pretty active. Let’s all sit back and root for the gutless wonder to close out the season with a win!

Some Redreporter highlights

“In this story boobs said that Volquez V Meyers was a Mismatch in favor of Brett Meyers”

“Marty dropped the F-Bomb on radio”

“remember when EdE wasn’t clutch?”

“and who can forget opening day, when we thought this team wouldn’t suck”

This may have been posted by someone yesterday . . .

But . . . newsflash . . . Dunn has 100 rbis and 40 homeruns. That’s 4 straight seasons with exactly 40 homeruns (if he doesn’t get one today).

I thought this was the Bengals game

They’re playing the Rams today, right?

Pretty ballsy of the St. Louis to go for the two-point conversion, but I guess it paid off.

What are the odds

The Reds/Cards game ends up with a higher total score than the Bengals/Browns?

hi, hello, and goodbye everyone

last game of the season and Corey Patterson is starting in CF. there is an odd and unwelcomed sense of satisfaction in that.

thanks everyone for a great season. i look forward to a short and sweet offseason with all of you around here.

I think Moyer

is the patron saint of sub-replacement-level pitchers. I imagine that unathletic kids everywhere have posters of him in their room.

...because there's already someone posing as Jacob Brumfield

actually

its probably just your room….sorry dude

by sharks on Sep 28, 2008 3:22 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

I also imagine

that your RR handle would be a lot funnier if you added an ! at the end of it. I’m 100% sure I’m alone on this, but I just like the idea of sharks! mocking me a lot more than sharks.

...because there's already someone posing as Jacob Brumfield

by Cy Schourek on Sep 28, 2008 3:23 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

because I'm easily amused by excitement.

No better reason, actually. I mean, I’m named after someone who was Jamie Moyer before Jamie Moyer was (Pete Schorek)

...because there's already someone posing as Jacob Brumfield

by Cy Schourek on Sep 28, 2008 3:28 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

I think we are in the middle of a serious miscommunication right now.

Schorek was just my favorite pitcher on that ’95 team. There was no way to get posters of Reds players in Chicago back them before the internet. But I did get a Reggie Sanders jersey. I loved that jersey until I shit the bed in it in October.

Pete Schourek is still my favorite Red

I remember reading in the Cincinnati Enquirer on a spring Sunday Morning in 1996 that he was having elbow surgery and was done for the season. I was tramatized because Jose Rijo had yet to come back from elbow surgery.

Yeah

I think any soft-tossing lefty that comes along keeps Moyer’s ’88 Topps card in his backpocket.
