Hopefully Kim can Woo us all...

(ba-dum-dum)

From the game preview...

Last season for the Rockies, Kim threw a three-hit shutout against San Francisco.

Kim has a 2.25 ERA in three career games against the Giants.

Sunny's ERA isn't bad...oh wait, that's his WHIP.

Nevermind.

19.29? That was his price tag, I think.

Looks like this was a targeted strike by WK.

I guess I'm a half-empty kind of guy. I think it is unfortunate that the Giants have seen him that many times. They probably have a decent scouting report on him by now. I figure there is a good reason he has a 5.30 career ERA.

For the first time this year I have become apathetic. I looked at the standings, read BPs playoff odds and can understand the numbers. I need Narron's heart to believe this team has a chance.

You'll fit right in the game threads

SF has a pathetic lineup today....(wow), and a starter who has thrown 19 innings this year, with 1 inning being his max outing.

Great game for the Reds to trounce and gain some momentum. Get on em early and stick the boot on the neck.

You would think with the two SP today it would be a 10-9 type game. But as I say that it will probably be a 1-0 nailbiter. That is a crap lineup the Giants are putting out there. I don't think I have heard of half of them. But I probably just jinxed us and we will lose 10-0.

Bonds is 3 for 6 off Kim with 2 homeruns and hes not starting.

Steve Phillips broadcasting on ESPN.

We're doomed.

Ever since he jumped on board the bandwagon, the Reds have sucked

So I shouldn't hope for another 2 hour and 2 minute game?
