Reds aren't too bad this year. 1 game under .500 which is only like 3 games out of first in the NL Central.
Cueto, who has been a quality pitcher this year, gave up 9ER in the 1st inning I believe. So it was over from the get go. Towards the end, Dusty Baker decided to take one of their shortstops, Paul Janish, and put him in as a pitcher. Needless to say, that didn't work out well because he gave up a grand slam.
But oh well, I still have faith in my Redlegs and they will turn it around tonight.

Thats right, only 3 games out of 1st place in a really good NL Central so I aint going to complain to much. Hopefully they'll turn it around tonight and get a W. Go Reds!

The Reds are playing well in the National League Central where they are 21-18. The Central is extremely competitive.
Let's not forget that 3.5 games out of first place still puts them in fourth place. They are closer to last place (3 games above last place Pittsburgh) than they are first place.
But there is reason to hope for this team. With a right-handed stick, this team could be serious consideration. We all knew pitching was going to be the biggest struggle, but if the Reds do not find a solid Right-handed hitter to take the pressure off of Phillips, I see a slide coming after the All-Star break.
Though the Reds are

I've been a reds fan all of my life, been to a lot of games in my life and only seen them win one time. Glad I wasn't at this debacle, lol.

Would just like to remind everyone that each loss just counts as one game, whether it is a 1-run heartbreaker in the ninth-inning, or a 21-run pasting that was over from the start. All that matters is the W or the L that goes next to the game. And Monday's game gets an "L" no different than any of their other losses. Personally, I would rather my favorite team get beat like that rather than to lose a close one that they should have won.
I'm a huge Reds fan, and as an example I'll use that game on Friday where they blew a late 3-0 lead to the Cardinals in part due to some "questionable" managerial decisions. While I have already forgotten about the blowout loss to the Phillies, I am still steaming over that loss to the Cards.
Anyway, the topper to the story is that the Reds have come back and won the next game after the blowout, 4-3 over the Phillies! So even though the Reds have been outscored 25-5 over the first two games of the series, Cincy has so far earned a 1-1 split. Now how sweet is that? :rockon:

PHILADELPHIA â The Reds needed someone to step up Tuesday night and stop the downward momentum.
Instead, a bunch of guys stepped up in a 4-3, come-from-behind victory over the Philadelphia Phillies Tuesday night before a crowd of 43,623 at Citizens Bank Park.
Credit goes to Brandon Phillips, Joey Votto, Aaron Harang, David Weathers and Ramon Hernandez â in nearly equal parts.
⢠Photos: Reds 4, Phillies 3
⢠Game summary, statistics
The victory gets the Reds back to .500 at 41-41. It came after the two losses by a combined score of 32-2.
âIâm glad we got the butt-whipping the last two games,â said Phillips, who hit two home runs early and had a huge sacrifice late. âIt kind of woke us up. We came in today and said weâve got to go out and play Reds baseball and do the little things.
âIt started out bad. But we couldnât let the same thing happen that happened the day before.â
It did start out badly. The Reds were down 3-0 after three innings. They didnât take the lead until Hernandez singled in Votto in the top of the ninth.
âItâs really huge for us,â Harang said. âWe stayed in the game and never gave up.â

I would like to remind you that they still got killed. I don't care about the other games. I'm talking about this one game. I like the Reds i want just saying that got spanked. I know its just one game. Every game is just one game.

So they got spanked Monday night. Who cares? Just because SportsCenter thought it was a big deal doesn't make it so. True Reds fans know that it doesn't matter that they got killed, it's still just a loss. IMO, the one-run defeat the Reds suffered earlier tonight (3-2) hurts much worse, knowing that with a clutch hit here or there, they could have won.
