9/30 CUBS (Buchanan) @ Reds (Smith) 6:10 CSN-C

[sweetpeteman]

Well, I guess I'm honored to be the only member in NSBB history to have a game threads record go x-x-1.

 

Buchanan gets the start, and to tell you how little that means, the mlb.com preview page doesn't even have a picture for him right now.

 

 

He goes against Josh Smith of the Reds who is a pitcher I guess.

 

 

Uh, try not to tie this one.

It's a thankless job, but someone's gotta do it.

Was Fred the one who always used to say "win, lose or draw" when he was starting a game thread because nobody else cared and the person who was due up was MIA?

 

Because we got a draw.

Fred was always one step ahead of us

Depends on how much you believe in Heyward's improvement over the last 2 weeks. If you think he's a sub-.700 hitter still you probably don't want him hitting 5th in a playoff game. I've been pointing out how well he's been hitting the ball as of late, but I'm still not 100% comfortable with him hitting as high as 5th. That said, lineup construction still doesn't really matter so overall it's not a big deal.

Why are the Reds sitting so many of their good players?

....oh, right.

[Buster]

Sweep these bums.

[Derwood]

Surprised this game is starting on time. It's been pouring here all day, and the rain usually hits Columbus and Cibcy at the same time

 

Edit: looks like there is a smaller cell hitting Columbus. Carry on then

[Schwarber Fan]

Nice to see Coglhan is fine

Reds announcers making "Sosa on roids " jokes

A yellow line on the wall not being standard is a little odd to me.

Why are we being perfecto'd by the Refs?

Bc were a terrible baseball team.

 

Scrap it and rebuild

[ScrubMD]

Did both teams get together and decide to prank these pitchers?
