Game 162: Reds at Cardinals

Cincinnati Reds at St. Louis Cardinals, Sep 28, 2008 2:15 PM EDT



Next Game

Cincinnati Reds
@ St. Louis Cardinals

Sunday, Sep 28, 2008, 2:15 PM EDT
Busch Stadium

Adam Pettyjohn vs Kyle Lohse

Sunny. Winds blowing out to center field at 5-10 m.p.h. Game Time temperature: Around 80.

 

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.

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!

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.

I've been working on a theory about 1990

I think it was a Reds marketing ploy to hook a bunch of us into really falling in love with this team, thus allowing them to take the next, oh…two decades off.

Hey all

Sorry I missed the game thread. I thought the game was in the evening, and went downtown to watch the Bengals/Browns game. I almost stayed home when I realized my mistake, but I had promised to meet a friend there and wasn’t sure how to make “It’s the last game thread of the year!” sound like a plausible excuse to ditch him.

As always, the crew on this site has made getting through a Reds season a lot more fun than it has any right to be. Thanks to everyone who posts here, who puts forth the effort to show up (unlike me) when there’s so many other things to do. Close the books on 2008, and here’s looking forward to the Reds in the playoff hunt in 2009. With Harang, Volquez, Arroyo, Cueto, Bray, Burton, Votto, Phillips, Encarnacion, Bruce, and our offseason acquisition of either Pat Burrell or Magglio Ordonez, we’ve got the horses.

I too missed the game as daughter #2 took Mrs. M and Me to the final performance of Amadeus at the Cincinnati Shakespeare Festival theatre. I agree that those who toil to make RR a great site are to be thanked again and again.

It will be a very interesting off season…
The 10 young players you list are a great nucleolus for ‘09
But Will EdE be traded
Is C-Dick ready
Will we have another year of Corey
Will Micah be as big of an asset as Votto, Bruce, Cueto and Wagon
Will your Mom’s reputation be vindicated
Will the cow picture ever rear its ugly tail again….?
