Quick And Simple Post
I’ve got a lot going on tonight so I can’t make this a long one.
Simply put the Reds should have won today against the Cardinals. The Cardinals didn’t beat the Reds today. The Reds beat the Reds today. There is plenty of times the game was brought back to even, and as I recall there was even a time we were ahead. I was completely ok with us walking Pujols with 1st base open, and wouldn’t wince if we did it again. Now that being said walking home runs is something you just don’t do. I would rather take the ball and put it on a tee and have him him hit off it that just walk runs in like we did in the 8th. There is a chance that Lincoln was pitching injured so I won’t go big on bashing him yet. If he was why didn’t Price know about it?
Honestly the Reds have already made my goal for them during this series and that was to win one game. They did it, I’m going to stay happy, the goal all of us Reds fans have to keep saying is +.500. That’s it. Nothing more is being asked for from this team, THIS year.
+.500

It turns out Lincoln was not hurt — Micah just wasn’t warmed up all the way yet… But I agree with you that — outside of the 8th — it was a good game by the Reds. And a tough way to lose. Apparently 3 times is 1 time too many for them to get back in the game…but I have been so impressed with their ability to do so, starting from the end of the last year. Let’s hope they can get it done today against Carpenter!

first place! first place!
Great pitching serves you well eh?
best of luck! Keep it up! Must be the Orlando Cabrera charm… whatever team he goes to that team automatically makes it into the playoffs (Red Sox, Angels, ChiSox, Twins… well the A’s don’t count because he was traded half way into the season
)
