Here's a fun stat for you: The Reds are 8-5 in games started by Justin Lehr and Kip Wells. They are 58-74 in all other games. If these guys had started every game for the Reds this season, they'd have 89 wins right now. That's a fact.
Both of these pitchers will be facing the opposition for the first time tonight. Yorman Bazardo is a 24-year old right-hander who had decent, though not great, numbers in the minors this season. Tonight's start for him will be his 3rd in the majors this season and his 5th big league start of his career. I predict 6 innings of 3-hit ball.
Lehr hasn't had a whole lot of success over his last 4 starts. He's pitched just 23.1 inning in 4 games and has a 7.71 ERA over that span. The key for him is his control. When he's not walking hitters, he doesn't fair too poorly. Unfortunately, he hasn't had much control in his last 4 starts.
Just 16 more wins until we reach the coveted winning season! It's gonna happen! You just gotta believe!

Myles Brand has died

This week makes for a lot of movement in the pool. Brian B’s lead is losing serious ground. Making a cursory guesstimate, it looks like my mom and me, in that order, are nipping at his heels. Bereavement post to follow shortly.
What do you mean, "blank slate"?

i am more embarrassed by posting a correction than making the mistake in the first place, yet i’m still going to hit “post”
What do you mean, "blank slate"?
Gray will bless you.
BTW can you all believe that ol’ Mads is presently leading the Futbowl soccer league…
after such a tough year with the Might Monks baseballers it is rewarding to have my hard work pay off.
And Fario Go Butch is looking good in the one Football league while Bongo-Bong is poised to compete it the other league…
Oh BTW the Reds will win tonight…you can count on it.

i had a lot of fun with that last night
sometimes i just said “Shawtaeee” over and over
What do you mean, "blank slate"?
I was a student at IU
when Brand fired Bobby Knight. 15,000 students riotted and fucked up campus. One frat carried a 700 lbs concrete statue over 1000 yards from Sherwalter fountian to Assembly Hall. The crowd did not disperse until Knight gave a speech asking everyone to go home peacefully. The guy that got him fired lived on my floor in the dorm and we actually hung out with him the first few days of school, he was one of 3 identical triplets. After he got Knight fired they had to move to Hawaii becasue of death threats.
One of the craziest events I have ever witnessed.

For all Red Reporters in the DC area
The Borders on 18th and L does NOT have “The Machine.” They did have a lot of copies of something called “Game Six,” but discerning readers should accept no substitutes.
I got an email tonight from somebody asking me if I'm interested in receiving a copy of the book "Game Six"
I really want to email back and say, “Is that the one where the Red Sox won the World Series?”
Definitely a good argument.
But still had an 86 year long winless streak
The more I think about it, the more it bothers me. The White Sox AND the Cubs both had longer droughts. The Red Sox only had the third longest drought, and the other two teams that had gone longer without winning were both in the same city! But did Chicagoans make nearly the fuss, even though they had much better reason to? No.
God, fuck Boston fans, with something hard and sandpapery.

Most of the cheerleading coach's scenes are pretty funny.
But other than that, I think a lot of the humor is just supposed to be how over the top the drama is.

I like this move by Walt
And I actually thought it was punishment for being horrible at baseball.
Although he didn’t give the job to Stubbs, keeping Willy T and his “veternness” on the DL movivates Stubbs to steal the job. Let’s not forget that Stubbs moved slow in the system and many people thought he was a bust.
I say Stubbs is our full-time CF and lead-off hitter next year.

2. Strikes out too much

4. Can’t Bunt
5. Refuses to date Dusty’s daughter

Back--I was at the Park for this one
The Reds have nbow won the last 4 games I’ve attended. I should dorp everything and go down for the next few.
There is a problem for me, though. Each time I come back I feel guilty for something I yelled. 5 homeruns can make you a little off-color.
It’s greatto see a sweep. Phillips did great, Votto did well, Stubbs was strong. Brantley can take his talk somehwere else. We should probably trade him for his weight in barbecue which would be an impressive 700+ pounds.

All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
I can't even remember
I just have the vague feeling I should be ashamed for some things like kindly asking Kaz Matsui to return to the Japanese league and calling for the swift removal of Lehr.
I actually like Lehr, but those 5 homeruns just really were too much. Brendanukkah has shown in the recap that it tied a club lead!
Also, yelling at umpires. I know they’re doing their jobs, but I can’t help but get upset with them.
I think it’s mainly realizing that some little kids may have heard some colorful language that makes me feel a little guilty.
I don’t hold a candle to the Lance Bekman hecklers though. Tonight, there was a Hunter Pence heckling crowd. I think they got to him a little bit.
did you really
tell Kaz Matsui to go back to Japan?
That’s racist!
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
It does sound a bit racist,
I actually said I wish he’d go back to the Japanese league, so we wouldn’t have to deal with him. I also said something about Lehr going back to Korea, so I think that probably sounded a bit racist too lol
It would be more racist if she told Kurt Suzuki to go back to Japan.
Everybody's a jerk. You. Me. This jerk.
Are you going Sunday?
I always like to put a face to the nick, but be forewarned……I will have the devil child with me.
"I'm going to become rich and famous after I invent a device that allows you to stab people in the face over the internet"
lol! devil child?
no, probably not going to be down on the weekend. I’m probably going to be out of town again.
Maybe you can help them win in my place, though.
I defer to obc or Pops in my assessment, I dare either of them to argue
