Pittsburgh Pirates at Cincinnati Reds, Oct 4, 2009 1:10 PM EDT
|
|

This will be the 4th time Homer Bailey has started against the Pirates in his career. All 4 starts have come in the last 43 days. It's amazing to me how often the Reds and Pirates have faced each other in the last month and a half. That should be one reason why we don't want to get overly optimistic about the Reds play of late. As for Bailey, he's actually pitched worse against the Pirates than he against the rest of the teams he's faced in his recent lights out stretch. Of the 11 runs he's allowed in the last 52.1 innings he's pitched, 6 have come against the Pirates in 19.1 innings. That means his ERA is 1.36 in his last 5 starts against teams that aren't the Pirates.
That's not to say that he hasn't pitched well against the Pirates. He is 3-0 with a 2.79 ERA, but he also only has 12 strikeouts against 10 walks in those starts. He did a good job keeping his walks down in his last start against the Cardinals (just 1 walk in 7 innings). If he can keep improving on his control, he will be a major force to be reckoned with in the future.
Last game of the regular season for everyone (except maybe the Twins and Tigers) today. The Reds have given us some hope for the future with their play over the last month, but I'm sure once we turn a critical eye back to the team this off-season, we'll see that there are plenty of holes to be filled. Even still, it made the end of the season much more enjoyable than it would have been if we were watching a race to 100 losses. All in all, if the Reds can pull off a win today, a 78-win season ain't too bad given where they were just a month and a half ago.

Everyone, it's been a much more enjoyable season because of you all here
That being said, I think I’m gonna go watch football. There’s only so many times you get a chance to eat Skyline in DC, and during Bengals games at the Bottom Line is one of them. You gonna be there, RijoSaboCaseyWKRP? I’ll be the guy wearing the Jeff Blake jersey.

I was actually on stage performing during the 4th quarter. The only tv in the place was only visible from the stage, so I was watching as I was playing. i let an f-bomb go during the middle of a song when AJ Green made that catch. The bass player had no idea what was going on.
BTW, I suppose this helps the college football powers hype next weeks game against Florida, but make no mistake UF should beat LSU handily Tebow or no-Tebow. LSU is just not that good.

All things considered
Football is a retarded sport, with essentially modern day Gladiators. The NFL needs to do a helluva lot better job providing for its former players when they retire. There’s no reason for so many of those guys to be broke and dealing with health problems the rest of their lives.

I agree with you for the most part
but too many athletes (in all sports) don’t do enough to provide for themselves long term with the money they’ve earned.
Part of the problem with NFL players is that the contract environment really isn’t as lucrative and sustainable as it is in MLB and NBA, yet many players seems to spend as if it were.

Exhibit A: Michael Crabtree
You know that the people he has advising him are screwing him over with terrible advice. He needs to realize what’s more important: starting his career. He’s never going to make more money than the 49ers are offering him now.

But young people are not known for listening to advice, no matter how good.
And look at all those lottery winners (many of them old enough to know better) who end up broke within three years. They know the risk. They can afford and do hire financial advisers. They still end up losing the money. Heck, in some cases they are millionaires through their own hard work when they win the lottery, and still end up losing it all.

His contract expires in December.
And I’ve been unable to find an exact birthdate, but he graduated from college in 1969 so he’s at least in his early 60s. I know we’re used to announcers staying around until they’re 80, but I don’t necessarily think there’s any deeper meaning behind Grande leaving.

Also, there's an issue with USC.
There’s no way OSU jumps the Trojans after their Week 2 game. I do agree with you though, Chesire, OSU’s defense (even against USC) has been great this year. The only issue would be if UC’s line could hold OSU’s front 7. If so (which I don’t think UC could do), the Bucks’ secondary would get dismantled by Pike. I just don’t see OSU’s front 7 allowing Pike to get enough time.

My favorite part on AC/DC Live is when they start to play "Whole Lotta Rosie"
but the crowd thinks it’s “Thunderstruck.” It takes until well after Brian Johnson’s started singing for some of the crowd to stop saying, “Thun-der!” Ah, AC/DC, whose every song sounds exactly the same. I will argue with anyone that AC/DC is the prototypical rock band.

yes, my best friend in high school
still claims that the moment you referenced on the live album is his favorite song.
When AC/DC released “Rock n’ Roll Train” last year, I was shocked that it took AC/DC over 20 years to release a song with that title. Then it occurred to me that they might already have, but no one remembered it. Least of all them.
