    These lineups are unbelievable. I don't care that it's better than last night; it's still ridiculous. There's a difference between graciously accepting your shortcomings in the face of better talent -- but still showing up and fighting -- and drinking 18 shots of tequila and walking in front of a Mack truck.
    There is no such thing as a pitching prospect.

    What about doing the tequila but eschewing the Mack truck thing? :

    The lineups are ridiculous but then again so is the roster. The 25-man looks like a team that has already been through a fire sale.

    I'm not sure I've ever been this embarassed to be a Reds fan.

    That makes too much sense, you're being too reasonable. You know better than that.

    Either Jerry doesn't believe that Junior and Dunn are his two best hitters or he doesn't understand that a lot of things have to go right for them to bat in the same inning.

    I'm tempted to say the Reds should give that a shot. What could it hurt them at this point?

    My dad got to enjoy 3 Reds World Championships by the time he was my age. So far, I've only gotten to enjoy one. Step it up Redlegs!

    Oops, sorry!

    Lineup construction has always been an interest of mine. It annoys me when it is mangled as often as it is.
