Without his bat last night, the Reds would have been shut out.
Harang pitched ok, but he really needed to step it up last night and failed to do so. I'm not sure what is wrong with him. He's definitely not the same pitcher he has been over the past two or three seasons.
Too bad about Freel. I'm sure we can expect Corey Patterson to be recalled to fill his roster spot.
Herrera - what an ML debut, eh? Comes in with runners on second and third and strikes out Ryan Howard and Pat Burrell to end the threat without letting a runner score.
And last - just when I was coming to remember why Griffey is one of the greatest ever, he goes and sits out a few games conceivably (conspiracy!) because daddy is down at the draft and can't attend the games in Philly. Griffey's been part of why the team was hitting so well, and Philly phans have sold out the stadium to see him play, yet he does not. It's just really disappointing.
How can I be so bummed after two one run losses? Well, the Chub$ won again, we're now 10 games out, and I no longer believe this team has a chance this season.
Commentary on baseball and society, baseball and philosophy, baseball and history, and baseball and baseball.
