Game Thread: Game 140 vs. the Giants

H_tiny by JD Arney on in News Comment 316 comments

TIME: 12:35 @ Great American Ball Park
                                       

GIANTS PROBABLE:                           REDS PROBABLE:
Jonathan Sanchez (2-0, 1.37)              Sun-Woo Kim (0-0, 19.29)

Not really sure if I'm happy about seeing Sanchez instead of Noah Lowry, but I guess we'll be finding out. Sanchez played his college ball at Ohio Dominican, so he's sort of a local guy.

Kim's 19.29 ERA is just funny to look at. He's been ok at AAA this year though, and he has a nice GB/FB ratio, so we'll see I guess.

Win here, get back to .500 heading into a series with Pittsburgh. You can't really ask for more than that.

Go Reds!

Good gamble
Kim is the perfect type of pitcher for the Reds to take a gamble on.

Ground ball tendency. Young. Cheap.

Dirty Sanchez
I've heard that Jonathan Snachez has filthy stuff.  Maybe he should be referred to as "Dirty Sanchez."

by neckbeard on Sep 6, 2006 8:16 AM EDT reply actions   0 recs

Yeah, he has closer stuff out of the pen
And he's starting. He'll probably shut down the Redlegs unless we manage to work the count and hit the ball a little once it's worked.

Im sure glad we get an ESPN Game
And the best we have to send out is Sun-Woo Kim and his (in the words of George Grande) "Brilliant" 19.29 ERA.   So just maybe if the Reds score three touchdowns today we could actually win back to back games.

extra points
I'm sure our kicker would miss at least one of the extra points and we'd come up short on a two point conversion.

if sun woo kim somehow wins this game
and i dont know how he will, unless he's been perfecting a gyroball, than here comes the sun should be our official rally song. Because:

I love the Beatles and
The part of Abbey Road where that song comes on is right after the flip, after "I Want You Shes So Heavy" has taken you down emotionally to about as sad and confused as you can be. Then along comes George's masterpiece (which he wrote in Eric Clapton's garden) and the rest of the album is the most beautiful piece of music ever laid down one one album side.

All that being said, seriously, how in the world could Sunny get a win here?

the Giants only played for one run.  I love it when teams follow up a lead-off double off of a questionable pitcher by trying to just get that run in.  Killer instinct in the playoff race.

Phillips and Stone
Spent like 10 minutes praising Todd Linden for grounding out.  I'm sure that was Linden's goal when he stepped to the plate, ground to second.  Uggghhh.

BTW, I'm glad Kriv got Kim, this guy looks nasty as hell.  That 86 MPH gas is going to take the Reds to the next level.

Shea Hillenbrand
Has a higher batting average and does not strikeout as much as Dunn.  He also does not hit as many homeruns.  As far as Michael is concerned, Hillenbrand is better.  What's more, he is not overpaid either, and he had a sacrifice fly in the first.  Definitely better than Dunn.

Dont be fooled into believing any record "Will never be broken." Even DiMagio's (sp?) will at some point. Forever is a long time, and it encapsulates everything.

Notes: Records like Cy Young's win mark will need a dramatic shift in philosophy, as most modern pitchers dont get as many career starts as he's had wins.

Let's see...

You are a Giants fan who comes around a Reds blog with this passive-aggressive crap about how bored you are with your team, apparently, blowing out the game such that it is no longer interesting to you.


That, dear sir, is trolling.


I don't trust books; they're all fact, no heart.

Now Gapper

As Assistant Regional Manager, I say we leave off of him.  Unfortunately we have bigger trolls who claim to be Reds fans than Mr. Giant Head.

haha
ash would be so disappointed with you right now. We're supposed to be courteous to the other fans and whatnot.

Yup...
Please tell me you're going to the RR/RHM game on the 23rd... I'm wearing my steel-toed Docs in your honor, my friend. }:D>

In all seriousness, I really don't care what you think about other teams' fans. I merely stated my opinion that going over to TrueBlueLA and telling the guy who runs the site that the Dodgers "fucking blow" (or whatever it was) isn't very cool. How do you feel when the Giants fan comes in here and says shit about the Reds? And honestly, how much can the Dodgers blow if they won all six games against the Reds this season? Just sayin'.

Anyway, if that makes me a "prude" then so be it. "I do but keep the peace."

Pitching like King Kong

Good inning by Stormy
Reds haven't pitched too badly this game, other than Franklin's dinger (big surprised that he sucked).  But the Sun Pitcher took 5+ runs off his ERA, and Cormier and Weathers have been untouched.  Now, if some offense would show up, that would be delicious.
