[DunnersGrl44]

Good job Todd! and Belisle and Stone.

[timmario66]

Reds Win!!!! Reds Win!!!!!

The Reds are 3-0 AD (After Danny). :graves:

[redsandrails]

12-3...... I miss Graves. He woulda made a nail bighter out of situation.

[Walkerforpres]

1-5 in the lineup today : 11-19, 11 R, 6 RBI.

Can't complain about that one.

[gitrdunn44]

Can we get some brooms haha

[redsfan30]

18-28 with some momentum with some winnable games coming up.

Let's get to .500 by the All Star break then take our chances from there!

[bomarl1969]

18-28 with some momentum with some winnable games coming up.

Let's get to .500 by the All Star break then take our chances from there!

Now your talkin'! 10 games under .500 isn't that bad considering what the club has went through! Maybe Rich and Paul on the DL will help...that and Milton pitching like he could possibly win 12 or 14 games this year!

[OldXOhio]

i don't think any of us would have been too terribly upset on April 1st had someone said this team would be .500 at the break.

Getting to that .500 point is going to require the Milton's, Wilson's and Ortiz of the world to step it up not just a notch, but two.

Good to see Kearns start to heat up a little. What to do when Wily Mo comes back? If he ever comes back.

[shredda2000]

Let's go sweep the Pirates!!! No more off days until we lose (sorry...got a little excited).

[redsfan30]

A DL stint could be just what the doctor ordered for Paul Wilson. It did wonders for Aaron Harang last season. Why couldn't it do the same for Paulie this year?

If he comes back and turns thing around, that would be huge for this club.

[Blimpie]

Now, on to the all important battle for...wait for it....4TH PLACE in the NL CENTRAL !!!

[deltachi8]

Amazing what 3 wins against a below average team can do for fan morale. I'm not saying that to be snide, i think it points to one of the best things about our game of baseball, eternal hope and there is always tomorrow.
