Games of the Day

The Cincinnati Reds still hold slim playoff hopes as they send Bronson Arroyo to the mound against the Cubs Wade Miller early this afternoon. Bronson's pitching in September as he did in April, going 4-1 with a 2.65 ERA. He's hit two home runs this season, both against Chicago. We'll see if he makes it three today.

The Astros travel to Houston for a makeup game before rolling down the road to Pittsburgh. The Astros can't really afford to lose if they are going to make the playoffs. The undefeated Randy Wolf takes on winnless Matt Albers. Albers, in 15 innings, has allowed seven walks, all to lefties. Randy's received outstanding run support this season. He's pitched 49 1/3 innings, and the Phillies scored 48 runs while he was on the mound.

The Padres travel to St. Louis to take on the reeling Cardinals. This is a possible first round matchup in the NL. David Wells disappointed so far, going 0-2 with a 4.43 ERA since his pickup. He's just giving up too many hits. Suppan, along with Carpenter, is pitching well down the stretch, posting an ERA of 1.00 in four September starts. Despite that, he's only 2-0.

Enjoy!

Correction: The Astros are going to Pittsburgh, not Washington. The Phillies are heading to Washington next.

and some of us fans do NOT get why we are starting albers, who is a AA guy instead of chris sampson, who was a GOOD AAA pitcher and has WON in the maors and managed to go longer than 4 innings
