Ramirez is relatively new the Reds, but here's a link to his career stats (including access to his minor league data). Randy Wolf, well my work with his DIPS ERA suggests his been lucky, but please baseball gods, please, let him be lucky one last time. Tonight Mets win and an Astros loss could spell the end of our playoff hopes -- hence the title "Do or Die." We don't know that much about Ramirez, but hopefully we find out that "Ramon Ramirez" is spanish for "give ups home runs and has little control." Outside of that, I can't provide any more relevant commentary.
If need be, I'll be watching the game in the buff to ensure an Astros victory, a la my happenstance strategy from the 2005 NLDS Game 4.
