Cards haters remember. If they don't get hammered in Cincy, they'll get hammered in Pittsburgh. And if they don't get hammered in Pittsburgh, they'll get hammered in D.C.

We can only "hope" they stave off the Cardinals, because a 4-5 game lead ain't all that if they can't take 2 of 3. It's hard not to be a bit concerned.

But losing to the Cardinals in a game they should win like tonight, considering the next two matches, is ridiculously frustrating.

Not sure why some posters can't just understand that and let some things pass and shrug it off, it's baseball, it's the internet, people overreact, people have differing opinions, that's life.
Thank you!!! That was much of what I wanted to articulate, but just kept forgetting.

Frazier strikes out swinging. 11 of the last 13 outs are strike outs.

Reds are up to 12 K's. Looks like they're gonna roll over for the rest of tonight.

Yep, it is looking that way. Unfortunately.

About to go play some Battlefield 3 on PC. That'll turn the mood that this game has placed me in around . Anyone join me?

The Reds hitters looked so good the first 3 innings and incredibly bad after that.

If they take 2 of 3, it's still a 6-game lead.

Losing to the Cardinals in a game they "should win" is nothing more than losing a game that should have been won. It doesn't hold extra special implications because they lost it. Not sure why some can't understand that.

You're right about one thing though...people do overreact. That's really the most important point here.

I would be in if I had that game.

What's that song say, again? Love is a battlefield? That's certainly the case with the Reds.
