The late inning comeback last night didn't pan out. Told ya they wouldn't hold up playing that way. Good thing STL lost last night too.

So, what do you all have to say at this current moment? We don't score enough early? It is 8-0 Reds in the 2nd inning.
[Reply]

No problem at all.....what you wanted us to be negative about a 8-0 lead in the 2nd?!? Just hope the bullpen holds up :-)
[Reply]

I just wanted to see some optimism and happiness :-) :-)

It seems that even though we are in 1st place someone always has something to worry about. The Reds in 1st place doesn't happen too often. I am just loving it right now! :-)
[Reply]

9-1 :-)
[Reply]

Reds suck- it's confirmed!
[Reply]

At least they don't have Grabow in their bullpen. :-)
[Reply]

Jesus Christ! What happened?
[Reply]

Just the 27th (was 25th before today) best bullpen in baseball, the one that Dan isn't worried about, let us down. Can't hold a six run lead? :-)

Massett= suck
Lincoln=suck
Cordero=suck


Keep Rhodes and Danny Ray Herrera and trade for some help in the bullpen. Trade Harang for some good relievers. Forget a power hitting LF. We've survived so far w/o one. Our problem is our bullpen. Masset should stay b/c he has potential. He's dropped his ERA from 10+ to a low 6. His ERA in May is a 1.something...

Four errors didn't help either.

A lot of people are blaming Nix for the Grand Slam as it bounced off his glove. He didn't lose this ballgame. Put the blame where it's due: the bullpen.
I think Heisey should get a start or two against Cleveland, but not b/c Nix lost the game (be honest with yourself, you know this loss isn't his fault).

Why did Baker not stay with Rhodes? We probably still would have won if he was on the mound. He doesn't give up home runs like CoCo does. Cordero was a mistake today.


Back to second place, boys... and soon to be in the cellar if we don't do something about our bullpen. Price has worked wonders with the starters, but the bullpen still has much to be desired.
[Reply]

Yeah that is not Nix's fault. He gave it a damn good effort and missed it by an inch or so. He shouldn't have been expected to make that catch to save the game nor should he have been put in that spot. Cairo def needs to shoulder some of that blame for sure along with the bullpen.
[Reply]

Absolutely agree, Heisey should start, but not before Nix, he should start for Stubbs. Another 0'fer out of him today, 9 runs and he doesn't contribute at all. :-)

Not going that far....damn Hugh lol
[Reply]

That rookie OF for the Braves is one good dude!
[Reply]

:-) it's not over yet, but we've played like shyte the last few games. Offensively we looked good today, but...
Heyward is the MAN! If he remains consistent, he'll be Jeter status in no time.
[Reply]

No doubt in my mind that JHey will be a superstar in the league in the very near future. Honestly he is one of my favorite players and I almost bought one of his jerseys when it became available.
[Reply]

Wish our young "phenom" outfielders lived up to their hype like Heyward has been doing thus far. :-)
[Reply]

Our young "phenom" pitchers need to step up right now. Trade Harang for some releivers (or send him to the pen) and bring up Chapman or Wood.
[Reply]

We aren't going to get anyone for Harang. Everyone knows that he isn't the pitcher he once was. I agree with bringing up Wood. They said on the radio that Chapman needs to refine his control just a touch b/c he will walk a lot of batters right now at the MLB level.
