A perfect example of what Dave Cameron was referring to when he said to project a team's record based on their talent level.
Step back, does anyone think this Pirate team with the roster as is, is an 88-90 win team most seasons? They were pesky but I never could take their roster that seriously...no offense intended, and as always I will note they are headed in the right direction.

Disclaimer - I'm not too concerned with trying to get the #1 playoff seed.
But I'd love for the Reds to give Villareal,Redmond,& Cingrani some starts over the next few weeks to let the regular guys get a little extra rest. They have that luxury....do it!
Very impressive outing by Hoover. I was expecting him to switch things up a bit but he just kept attacking the zone. Good job, JJ.
Looks like Latos is the designated shaving cream man this year. He loves it!

I absolutely recall you saying that. Well done. Major props. Reds salvage the home stand.Yeah, but I got the feeling when you said in the game thread that it was with a gut feeling that it would be the Pirates that would sweep (it was after Ludwick missed an opportunity to win it in the B10)...whoever loses this game gets swept...just a gut feeling.

Mullet guy is apparently named Kevin Cronin. Fun fact.
That or I probably don't get some reference Jim Day is making.
