Kinda glad we don't start off 9-0 again. It didn't work last year. An early loss will wake us up? Maybe Cairo can spark our offense tomorrow afternoon?
Ugh

Why on earth did the Reds get this Simon guy? What exactly does he add?

Well, at least we don't have to worry about losing another one run game.

Fire that scout. Bring back Frazier and let the rest of the pitchers pick up the slack.

Indeed. Maybe we can have a 10-31 record with 10+ run games.

Some soon to be ex-scout? Even Dusty said that he was going off what his scouts said about him. Since most people seem to trust the Reds scouts over whatever Dusty thinks...... then they have to be right?

Re: 4/7/12 - Reds vs Marlins

Simon's 5.17 career ERA must have swayed them

Re: 4/7/12 - Reds vs Marlins

A real shame...this game. Sold out house with lots of excited fans to go home and talk about the Reds and instead they go home disappointed.

Simon gives up a two run homer than strikes out 3 in a row.
