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.

Last!
Game of the year. Seems like just yesterday we were all wide-eyed and optimistic.
"Aio, quantitas magna frumentorum est."
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!

“Marty dropped the F-Bomb on radio”

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
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
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
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.
...because there's already someone posing as Jacob Brumfield
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.
(checks)
It wasn’t, he started in ’86.
In 7th grade a guy tried to impress a cute girl at our school named Jamie Moyer by showing her the Topps card. It didn’t work. And I swear it wasn’t me.
was she not conventially attractive
but somehow everyone in the school liked her?

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.
Reds! Reds! Reds!
