NLDS Game 2 Reds vs. Philly
No lineups yet but I believe the Reds are undefeated when I start a game thread so I figured I'd throw caution to the wind and get this started.

I'm superstitious about this stuff. Good luck Chip.

Re: NLDS Game 2 Reds vs. Philly
I have a good feeling about tonight. And here's why:
I was watching the Yanks and Twins and fell asleep on the couch last night. I got into a deep enough sleep to have a dream. In the dream it was game two of Reds and Phils and my favorite player Orlando Cabrera had just hit his second HR of the game, a grand slam no less. Just before I woke up I saw his grand slam made the score 17-7 Reds in the top of the 8th inning. Cabrera's first HR was apparently a 3-Run shot. So if he drives in 7 runs tonight, I will never bring up Paul Janish again.
When I woke up I realized that I had my dream during the same time that Orlando Hudson had hit his HR for the Twins, so I think that may have influenced my dream.
I swear to God that's all true.

We need some hits, so I changed my avatar to Pete for tonight's game.

Wow, Nix 5th. I guess that works out better though. If Ocab is going to drive in 7 he'll need Bruce, Stubbs and Hannigan getting on base.

Re: NLDS Game 2 Reds vs. Philly
Why must Bruce bat below Gomes/ Nix? At least we have a playoff lineup though. :D

LETS GET IT.

Re: NLDS Game 2 Reds vs. Philly
Victorino CF
Polanco 3B
Utley 2B
Howard 1B
Werth RF
Rollins SS
Ibanez LF
Ruiz C
Oswalt P.

Re: NLDS Game 2 Reds vs. Philly
Arroyo has to find his way through Utley and Howard without getting hurt. If he can do that, I think he can pitch well tonight.

Re: NLDS Game 2 Reds vs. Philly
Bruce behind Nix = epic fail
Don't want anybody clogging the bases I guess.

17 ABs. I bet he doesn't get a hit tonight. Hopefully gets two or three though.

Oswalt absolutely murders Bruce. Does that mean Nix absolutely murders Bruce?
.241/.267/.310 with 0 HR and 0 RBI in 30 PAs for Jay. Flip flopping Nix and Bruce doesn't bother me at all.

That's a lot of murders.

That was the intention of my original search, but couldn't find a good one with Ja Rule that said Murda inc.

Re: NLDS Game 2 Reds vs. Philly
The Reds have lost before its started if the lineups are not in the 1st post.
:runaway:

Re: NLDS Game 2 Reds vs. Philly
I like Cueto vs. Hamels in Game 3.
If we can win tonight, we have a good shot to take the series.

Hey we don't look ahead. Stay focused or you'll be benched from this game thread.
That's for Randy.

Re: NLDS Game 2 Reds vs. Philly
If Oswalt gets to the 5th with a no hitter,someone please go to ORG and start a no hitter alert thread. That usually breaks up a no hitter faster than anything. No one did that the other night and it costs us. :D

Is one batting slot enough to get worked up over, when in admittedly small samples one guy kills and the other gets killed?

My NL Central Champs stuff came today. That can only be a good sign.

One slot? I'd prefer 3. :D

Re: NLDS Game 2 Reds vs. Philly
Nix v. Oswalt: 18 PA, .529/.556/1.176, 9 H (6 XBH), 2 SO, 1 BB. One of those homers gets caught at the wall and his SLG drops .300 points. Color me skeptical, but optimistic.
If he's really that good against him, why not bat him even higher? This strikes me more as Dusty liking to keep guys in their role. LF bats 5th in our lineup.

I'd be fine batting him second and sliding Phillips to 6th.

Me too. Especially against a tough righty. If we're going to use platoon splits, let's really use 'em.

I'm guessing the police might have something to say about that if Nix murders Oswalt on national TV.
I'm sorry, I really need this game to start.
