Thats a good run, doesnt mean anything really though except hes due to get beat.  Volquez had a 1.95 era in Sept and look how that turned out

Let me get this straight Philly backers

the 23-3 record should count when it backs up your side of the argument.

The 0-2 record was with the those shitty Astros.

Is that correct?

Hes right you cant use 23-3 and not use 0-2 this year just because it suits you.  The 23-3 was with the Astros as well.  And if ur gonna try and discount the 0-2 this year casue the astros were shitty then fine, but u gotta discount the 23-1 becasue the Reds were shitty as well.  Its not like there all thinking man he was 23-3 against us in the past, there saying we beat him 2 times already.

4-0 ok thats good era under 4 ok cool, that means he gives up some runs.  I will point out that Arroyos postseason numbers came in the AL, (the stronger league some may say) and pitching against the Yankees, and also it wasnt all as a starter so u give up 1 run in 1 inn thats gonna up the ERA.

And no im not laying my money because hes due to lose, in fact im not layign any money because I dont bet on my teams, if I was going to I would bet the Reds to cover the spread and the Over.  You wanna make a big deal about how he finished the season so strong since coming to Philly, wat im saying is he is about to to take a beating sooner or later.

What a douche bag.

i was thinking the exact same thing too and then i realized how completely uninteligent that would be so i put a dime on the phils

Go ROY!!!

Halliday throws a no no and Vegas eats Philly backers alive tonight.

True line here is -145 Philly.

Gimmy the Reds +170.

Question is why are u still talking, theres a reason my first post was quoting the guy that said 23-3 enough said.  Then u came and chimed in with ur ignorant ass.  If you are going to bring up a guys ERA that is high in the postseason and compare it to another guys postseason stats.  I think its only fair to look at where and wat league they pitched in.  You only help me when u say that the AL has a higher ERA due to a DH becasue that is what Arroyo was pitching against.  Look it up 10 career postseason games, only 2 starts.  So like I said before if u pitch in relief and give up a run or 2 then ur ERA is gonna take a hit.

The reason I am "running my mouth" is because I am tired of looking at ppl using 23-3 as the reason y oswalt will win when the 23-3 is totally irrelevant

And it also has been said to be the better league over the past decade, not saying it is or has been.  Although I would tend to agree with that for the most part.

"Much is being made of Oswalt's 23-3 career record against the Reds, but that resume is misleading enough in the context of the present to qualify as a baseball Trojan Horse".

"The last Cincinnati lineup to lose consecutive games to Oswalt, at the tail end of the 2008 season, included only two current Reds: Joey Votto and Jay Bruce. Houston lost five of Oswalt's last six starts against the Reds. And the current Reds roster's cumulative lifetime average against him is a solid .290."

"The other, Laynce Nix, is a big weapon against Oswalt, off whom he is 9-for-17 lifetime, including two doubles and three home runs."

Thank you, thats all im saying is if the Reds are going to win one this is it.  If his breaking pitches are on, watch out
