Nats loss number one of one hundred?
Ok, maybe not. The pitching was good today, as the Nats bullpen gave up no runs, so that was nice. Soriano only missed one ball he should have caught, but he did have a bonehead headfirst slide into home to get thrown out. Is he trying to commit suicide or something? Get a broken neck so he doesn't have to play left? Someone ought to tell him sliding headfirst into home is NQB. (Not Quite Bright.) We won't mention that the ump missed the call.
Looks like the Reds are getting slammed. A lot of stupid mental errors have led to some, well, most of the runs. Don't trade Aaron Harang from your fantasy team, however. While he did give up nine runs, six earned, leftfielder Adam Dunn seems to forget he is actually supposed to catch the ball and is responsible for many of those runs - just now he fell down as a ball was coming to him. Still, it's only the sixth inning. Yes, the Reds are down by 7 runs now, but they did hit the most homers in the National League last year, and they are playing at Great American Ball Park. Anything can happen. And that Cubs bullpen? Ryan Dumpster? We shall see.
Oh, and in case you haven't heard, the Rocket met with Boston today.
