Game 142: Reds vs Cubs

Chicago Cubs at Cincinnati Reds, Sep 6, 2008 7:10 PM EDT



Next Game

Chicago Cubs
@ Cincinnati Reds

Saturday, Sep 6, 2008, 7:10 PM EDT
Great American Ball Park

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!

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.

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.

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?

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?

The ex that I would kill homeless people to honor

doesn’t share a birthday with anyone noteworthy (Drew Henson?), but the most recent one has the same birthday as the Mexicutioner… I think I should call her sometime…

Marcus McBeth and Mark Bellhorn. The most mediocre birthday ever.

dude, I have Marty Cardova and Buddy Groom.

But I also have Jessica Simpson, which is nice.

And while we’re playing this game, its Mark Prior’s birthday tomorrow! Lets throw an exploratory-shoulder-surgery party!

that game worked out pretty much precisely as I expected it to

Cincy played well…got a couple picks…but hot damn, Okie is GOOD. They have big linemen. Like, really, really, big. I know I’m scared of them.

But as a sorta-Cincy-fan (my parents met at UC), I’m still bummed. I think they have a decent shot to win the Big East, thoguh.

They do have a shot

The Big East is gonna suck this year, anything can happen. My side bet (which obc can attest to) was that OU would lose by less than UC. It wasn’t even close.
