Jason Marquis vs Johnny Cueto

Mostly clear. Winds blowing in from left field at 5-15 m.p.h. Game Time temperature: Around 80.

 

Complete Coverage >

W-L ERA WHIP K BB
2008 - Jason Marquis 9-8 4.46 1.40 82 55

W-L ERA WHIP K BB
2008 - Johnny Cueto 8-12 4.65 1.36 146 58

Johnny's quest for 10 wins continues.  After missing a start because of pitching for the Reds, he's back and hopefully pitching for a super-cautious manager.  I'd like him to get to 10 wins as much as the next guy, but I'd like him to get to 20 wins next season even more.

I don't know if you've noticed, but the offense has actually been performing very well over the last week.  Granted it was mainly against the Giants and the Pirates, but a .317/.413/.552 batting line over a week of games isn't anything to be ashamed of.  At least it makes the team much more interesting to watch.

This is the second to last time the Reds play the Cubs this season.  Hopefully it's also the second to last time the Reds beat the Cubs this season.

I'm going and I might get run tonight

The Cubs, their fans and too many pops for Pops is a deadly combination for me. I’l be spitting bile by the 6th inning.

Overserved and underwhelmed.

Crazy thread!

Looks like Pat White shoulda signed with the Reds. In other news, my laptop is half-working!

I'm here

I went into a three hour coma following the Ohio State game. It’s going to be a slaughter if they play that way next week.

The optimist in me

Is assuming that the Buckeyes played with as vanilla a playbook as possible so as not to give USC any preparation material. I still think they can win, but man did they look awful for the first three quarters.

the realist in me

Realizes that these are just college kids who completely overlooked the fact that A)OU didn’t completely blow and B) Todd Boeckman is kinda shitty. They’ll be fine next week. Probably 21-17, either way.

Yeah maybe

I’m used to getting blown out now in big games. And the Davidson B-ball Cats stole my heart this spring, so OSU failures sting a lot less now

Hey hey hey

I hear the kids have started to rake.

(it is getting to be fall over yonder isn’t it? Oh, I miss fall. The colors, the smell, the cool breeze. The lack of hurricane after hurricane slamming endlessly into your island)

Tanzen!

It’s only nominally fall, and he’s still got hurricanes to deal with.

I hear there was list posted the other day by MLB

of the players banned from playing in the DR winter league this year. I hear the wagon was on it. Any talk of that around here?

la lista de Fatiga Extrema

Is this a list of players that have played too many innings in their summer leagues, maybe? A lot of major leaguers on there, it seems. Also, Edwin’s not on there, so can we count on him going down and playing again?

No worries

I didn’t turn my phone on til after the game. I was originally going to go watch my alma mater play Gallaudet University (yup, they can’t even beat deaf teams), but the rain was just so heavy, and since Ohio State was on ESPN, I just said fuck it and watched that at home.

It was nice of the Buckeyes to play as badly as the Hiram Terriers though, to show me what I was missing.

Did any of yall watch the Ole Miss-Wake game?

I've grown to like Wake

spending a lot of time up there with a girlfriend. Groves Stadium is definitely worth a visit sometime, saw FSU last year on a Thursday night. And that was a hell of a game

I went to a tailgate last year

I don’t even remember what game it was; I didn’t go into the stadium. A college friend of mine is Riley Skinner’s older brother and I was drinking and stuffing my face in their RV.

Apparently Riley's a pretty decent guy

And with the ACC so awful, Wake might just get a BCS game again

“decent” would be about as far as I’d be willing to go

well, I still owe you...

so we’ll meet up come conference season, I imagine.

Also, you hear that Georgetown is playing Howard? Can you imagine two more diametrically opposed student bodies?

The Reds have a "text" poll

asking who will lead the Reds in homers at season’s end.

EdE: 24 HR
BP: 21 HR
Votto: 18 HR
Bruce: 16 HR

Only 8% of responders chose Encarnacion.

Or maybe I misread the poll?

Yeah, I couldn't believe Welsh was just talking about "upgrading" the 3B position

Welsh is off his game today.

So

Do you think Adam Dunn can play RF? If the Yankees sign him, that’s probably where he’ll end up. Either than, or 1B.

If he was a quarterback, he must have a good arm, right?

I've never heard anyone knock on his arm

RF may not be a terrible idea. It’ll be too bad I’ll have to become a Yankees fan if he ends up there. (no offense…but my brother in law’s a Yankees fan, and I have to tease him somehow)
