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.
sounds like a good time
and I agree, this season has been way more fun because of RR. I’m gald I finally found it
I find RR galling, too

Last
game of the season.
No wonder the pagans saw fall as the time when the year died.
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
it is a sobering thought
Spring training isn’t that far away, so the cycle of fun and dissappoibtment can begin all over again
Tis may be the last game, but later today begins the hot stove league,
which is much more hopeful than in-season feels.
Keep your shit off my whimsy.
Junya hit his 630th HR last night
over/under on him finishing his career with that number?

griffey is the only way i can imagine
630 career homeruns being a colossal disappointment

Sounds similar to Yankees fans and Mantle
A huge ‘what could have been’ despite being one of the best ever for both guys.
Among other things
I think we could probably throw Eric Davis in this too. Granted his career wasn’t close to the same as those guys, he had some seasons that were up there, just not nearly as long as those two did.
yeah I feel cheated it isn't higher and a whole bunch more
and a hundred and twenty five more with the Reds. But I really did enjoy, for the most part, having Jr as a Red. I just wish the ownership would have had a better team here around him.
Don't pick a fight with an old man. If he is too old to fight, he'll just kill you.

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.

it won’t go down to the last play of the game like the previous three games.
"I have found me a home"
What a sad day
I hate when I can’t watch the Reds play tomorrow.
At the very least the AL Central is making things exciting as a big Twins fan.
Hey, the Twins are my AL darlings too.
But I just don’t care that much about them. It’s kind of a “if I had to pick” thing.
large Twins fans are particularly exciting?

My brother falls into that category, so I imagine he could go for a few large twins fans.
the Red Sox are still in it
hop on the bandwagon! although its much less fun since they’ve won a couple world series, the pats have won a few super bowls and the celts won a championship. basically, Bostonfan has won enough this decade for a lifetime.

I like Grande and Welsh together
probably in the minority but I like them. We rag on the Reds announcers a lot but compared to most of the other teams around MLB we are; and have been for a very long time, blessed.
Don't pick a fight with an old man. If he is too old to fight, he'll just kill you.
Did you read the report a few months ago that said Grande talked more than all but two other announcers
And, although, the analysis did nto say this, I felt the :“and says less for all those words” was implicit.
I agree with you there
but I like him. Ever hear either of the Florida teams TV guys? They are painful. Or the Cubs or White Sox? I would take Grande over most every other TV guy out there.

I like Stone, but, when I am named dictator, the first person up against the wall is Hawk
Those games were free on basic cable (when my cable didn’t carry FSOhio) and I still could not watch, because of him.

But the majority of the crews around the league are much better than the Reds’. The Florida guys really are not that bad (I keep hearing “Cody Ross!!!!!” over and over in my head).
I really don’t dislike Bob Brenly all that much anymore either. He’s far better than Chris Welch. And Hawk and Steve Stone aren’t all that bad on a day to day basis.

I don't know, Brain. Like I said above, will that mean tHom is the TV announcer everyday (except his national broadcast dates)?
If so, that’s gonna be just as poor
If it's tHom, then we're screwed

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.
RR: Proud home of the most mods in SBNation.
I think that will be part of the next CBA.
And I think that rookie contracts will have to be capped to deal with that.
"If it wasn't this, it'd be something else."
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.
People, please. We're all frightened and horny, but we can't let some killer dolphins keep us from living and scoring
Since many athletes come in from lower economic classes and without a lot of schooling
It’d be hugely beneficial to have a year long mandated financial awareness class implemented by all the major sports.
RR: Proud home of the most mods in SBNation.
Doesn't basketball do this?
I recall one of the sports having such classes.
Let me write out a formal proof for you.
pretty sure they have those in some form already
i haven’t looked, but I’d almost be willing to wager that most athletes receive more schooling than the national average.
I’d bet they’re more middle class than we commonly assume as well.
People, please. We're all frightened and horny, but we can't let some killer dolphins keep us from living and scoring
NFL has a rookie symposium.
I don’t know what they cover, but I’m not sure it would help. I’m not sure I’d be sensible if I was pulling in multi-millions.

i'm sure i wouldn't

heck no
very few would be, without some serious guidance
Don't pick a fight with an old man. If he is too old to fight, he'll just kill you.
i think that's a bigger issue
the lack of people around them who they can trust. My guess is that most young people who make that much money in realms other than sports probably don’t have the same high profile that attracts so many leaches.
But, then again, maybe they do
People, please. We're all frightened and horny, but we can't let some killer dolphins keep us from living and scoring
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.
"If it wasn't this, it'd be something else."
especially all of those college guys in the NFL and NBA
Don't pick a fight with an old man. If he is too old to fight, he'll just kill you.
I think they already do
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.

Let's see that game
OSU keeps getting jumped in the polls just ‘cause no one wants to see them anywhere near the Top 2 come BCS selection time. That’s fine, but the Buckeyes post-USC would be realllllllly tough for the Bearcats.
RR: Proud home of the most mods in SBNation.
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.

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.

Eye Witness Report
I went down to the game, I sat the first row (that will come into play later) in right field, picked up 3 for $10 a piece tickets from a scalper about 25 minutes before game time. So yay suckatude.
The Reds put GiGi and Hal on the jumbotron and announced their retirements, at first I thought i misunderstood it, but wow. I have been watching the Reds since 1995 and Gigi has been their the whole way. I’ve given him a hard time, but I’ve grown accustomed to his voice.
The crowd was surprisingly large, most of the field level was filled. They were also pretty into the game.
Homer was a thrill a minute and gutted his way through 6 innings, I was impressed but I think the Pirates helped him out. It was awesome when he struck out the side to get out of the 6th.
They did give away more a years car lease, and a shitton of autographed memorabila including a Willy T-Virus autographed photo and baseball.
In the 8th (i think) Moss made a weak through towards the infield and I shouted to him “You throw like a girl!!” and he looked at me cocked his head a bit and shrugged, and then the rest of my section started to heckle him.
I was sad when Bruce caught the last out. It is over, but 6 months from tomorrow the journey starts again.
Folks it has been a fun filled season, and I will be looking to RR once again to help with my off season baseball withdrawls. Doug provides regularrly provides new content at redsminorleagues.com and that will help too.
Today was a beautiful day at the ballpark and a great way to end the season, and I am optimistic towards next year.
Good bye George, good bye Hal, good bye 2009 Reds!
The Reds need a new manager, one like Putin.
Good-Fucking Bye Wily Taveris
Jay Bruce will become a major league baseball STAR, starting in April, 2010.....
true dat!
Can Taveras ever get 3 hits? Stubbs needs to stick around. He can work out his strikeout issues. Definiely a good centerfielder.
I read Hal's account of that moment
and it was pretty moving. My bro and I were in attendance and it was a fun way to send off the team. As bad as Reds baseball can be, I’m going to miss it alot
last
i mean sometimes Walt is like a prison shower, you know it is gonna happen, but it isn’t a good thing.
I've been waiting to do this for like 4 days now
Last again!
