Same here, HB. I spent the other day talking my dad off of the ledge, and now I feel like I was lying to him as I watch this team play over the last handful of games.

Re: 4/18/12 - Ok, seriously...let's win a game.
These starters have severe 1st inning issues. Going back to last year, how many 2-run and 3-run deficits do they find themselves in? It's just ridiculous.

+1. It has been awhile since I've had absolutely no faith that the Reds can come back from a 3-0 deficit. But that's where I am right now. This offense is just anemic.

This seems like a good night for the explosion this team needs.

Ok, now that that's done, it's time for the standard "3 up/3 down" reds half of the inning. If Garcia throws more than 12 pitches this inning I'll be stunned.

Juan Francisco just hit a 2 run bomb, 2nd dinger of the year.

These guys are going to have to get mad, play with a little fire. They look lifeless out there.

Bruce shows that he still wants to pull everything, fouling off a pitch that was off of the plate away to the first base side.

Okay, I JUST saw the highlight of Juan Francisco hitting a 2 run bomb. Better? :O)
