Not with the Reds' lineup. Getting blanked again by a no-name Astro.

Turns out it takes a throwing error on a sac bunt and a double by the No. 5 pitcher for the Reds offense to do anything.

And and error and hit promptly brings Berkman to the plate as the go-ahead run in the bottom of the inning.

A 5-3 DP and a K get them out of it.

I know EE hasn't done much at the plate other than the GS Monday (His only RBI all season ), but he's being patient and his OBP is over .400. Move him up in the order so there's a chance someone might accidentally drive him in.

His defense has been respectable, too.

he's on my fantasy team, the reds are safe.

Micheal Bourn's arm makes Willy Taveras look like Ichiro.

He just threw a weak high-arcing duck to the plate that only Chad Pennington could be proud of.

It's a good thing Zippy Chippy wasn't playing CF for the Astros, otherwise Dustin McDonnell might have been gunned down at the plate.

I would like to add that no grown man should be referred to as "Coco" unless that man insists on being referred to as "T-Bone" instead.

 

[EDDIE GGGG27]

2 games over .500. They make me a nervous f'en wreck though.

Once Teh Suck kicks in sometime before the end of the month the nerves will subside, to be replaced by anger, disappointment then apathy.

This is a familiar script. Whenever the Reds start off with a halfway decent record they go out sometime before the end of April and end up losing a game by eight runs where they led by five with four outs left - then it all comes crashing back to reality.

Can't say I am too excited. They are the worst hitting team in the league, and I don't see them suddenly tearing the cover off the ball anytime soon. The pitching has been pretty good outside of a couple blow ups, but not good enough to carry this team.

 

[jlb1705]

At least there'll be no debate about who the Reds ASG rep will be. Votto has been pretty good every day so far.

You don't think T-virus can keep up the .420 OBP?

Memo to Philips and Bruce: Be careful what you wish for, it might come true.

Guys, season started two weeks ago. You might want to start driving some people in, since you're, like, the dudes now.

Anyone else say to themselves, "15, 30, or 60 day DL?" when Humpty Dumpty Hairston went crashing into the corner of the wall? What the hell was he seeing? That ball was 6 feet over his head!!!
