Are the bats finally starting to come around?

After last Wednesday's home run barrage, I started to wonder if the offense was finally starting to hit like people expected it would, but then there was the off day followed by the rain postponement, and well, sometimes long breaks are momentum killers. But the bats did not die. The Reds had fifteen hits in the first game, and though they lost, it was not for a lack of scoring runs but because Matt Belisle should be DFA'd. Then they go out and score seven more runs and get another fourteen hits to take the second game of the double header, and I'm thinking, hey, is it true? Is it really true? Are these guys finally going to hit?

And hey, Goodroyo showed up. Awesome pitching performance. Guess he wanted to get up there with our other three top ten strikeout pitchers in the league, eh?

Dear Mets, let us introduce you to Senor Johnny Cuest. Sorry you have to meet him in this way, as we are going to take the series from you. No hard feelings about those 96 mph heaters blowing by you, ok? But hey, we left you with a gift this weekend - your guys started hitting a bit, too. Don't give up, and stop booing your players. It's early in the season, and you guys have some good ones.

Let's go Cueto! Let's go Reds!
