Open Thread: Game 132 - Cincinnati Reds (A.K.A. Reds Reporter Game Thread V)

by Andrew on Aug 29, 2006 6:46 PM PDT in News

Cincinnati (67-65) vs. LA Dodgers (69-62) 7:10pm

Lineups:

Cincinnati

Ryan Freel RF .283/.376/.419
Adam Dunn LF .244/.371/.532
Edwin Encarnaci?n 3B .300/.385/.537
Ken Griffey Jr. CF .258/.323/.499
Rich Aurilia 1B .284/.333/.513
David Ross C .276/.372/.643
Brandon Phillips 2B .296/.344/.452
Royce Clayton SS .269/.315/.348
Eric Milton P .217/.229/.326

LA Dodgers

Rafael Furcal SS .282/.355/.395
Julio Lugo 3B .254/.337/.310
Nomar Garciaparra 1B .321/.392/.515
J.D. Drew RF .279/.376/.462
Jeff Kent 2B .269/.360/.464
Andre Ethier LF .339/.379/.538
Jason Repko CF .273/.360/.418
Toby Hall C .297/.333/.324
Mark Hendrickson P .000/.063/.000

Pitching Matchup:

Eric Milton	vs	Mark Hendrickson
8	W	1
7	L	6
5.22	ERA	4.79
136.1	IP	56.1
5.42	K/9	4.65
2.51	BB/9	3.85
1.59	HR/9	0.64

I'm pretty sad Olmedo isn't getting the start, since in theory he should eat Milton alive because he only throws high fastballs. In practice, this hasn't been, since he only has a .478 OPS in 23 at bats, but it's a very small sample size. Let's keep the mojo going.

Hate all you want

Don't just run into a blog dedicated to the Dodgers and spout anti-Dodgers nonsense... Makes you looks absolutely fucking retarded.

by Ash on Aug 29, 2006 11:53 PM PDT up reply actions

Sorry, that was harsh.

But you know what I mean. Don't make the rest of us look like asses by default, that's all I'm trying to say.

by Ash on Aug 29, 2006 11:55 PM PDT up reply actions

we'll take care of that on our own

Dental Plan!

I half heartedly follow this. Dodger Thoughts is where everyone congregates. I'm just contractually obligated to put this up here.

And sorry about earlier (im trying to hook up with ash on the couch, so lets play it cool.)

by boobs @ True Blue LA on Aug 29, 2006 11:51 PM PDT reply actions

Figures

The Dodgers lineup is based on slapping the ball around. Sometimes, that doesn't work for long periods of time.

by Andrew on Aug 29, 2006 11:53 PM PDT up reply actions

Wow

thought that might drop in there.

by mattg on Aug 29, 2006 11:52 PM PDT reply actions

FSN

The cameramen are having an increasingly harder time finding hot chicks in the crowd.

by RedMenace on Aug 29, 2006 11:52 PM PDT reply actions

Sup LA

Why don't you guys let us win? We really need it.

by JCH888 on Aug 29, 2006 11:53 PM PDT reply actions

Because

I want to see you guys lose solely because of that Kearns trade.

by Andrew on Aug 29, 2006 11:54 PM PDT up reply actions

Kearns

Washington really wanted a .260 hitting OF, what can you do?

by JCH888 on Aug 29, 2006 11:55 PM PDT up reply actions

andrew, we need you to rename this post

"Red Reporter Game Thread, Part V". Thanks.

Kearns Trade

Looking pretty good right now.

by JCH888 on Aug 29, 2006 11:57 PM PDT reply actions

Not really,

but I admit, it's at least looking better if Bray grows up.

by TheGapper on Aug 29, 2006 11:59 PM PDT up reply actions

1-2-3!

by RedMenace on Aug 29, 2006 11:57 PM PDT reply actions

2:57 Eastern Time.

by TheGapper on Aug 29, 2006 11:57 PM PDT reply actions

alright andrew i gotta make this good with you

Look, I like you. You seem like a nice guy and a good fan of the dodgers. And us Reds fans, we're good peeps. Promise. We're not usually drunk asses ragging on someone elses blog.

But we ran out of room on ours, and we thought we'd rent out yours for a bit. Is that cool? We still want to win and all, but we thought we'd do it while hanging out here. Cool? Cool.

I am totally whipped.
