It's Marquis vs. Guthrie so of course a 1-0 game is inevitable.

I really hate being a fan of this team. Everyone knew Jason Marquis should no longer be in the rotation (and should have never been there in the first place) yet the Reds ran his broke rear end out there tonight when they had better options (Iggy, Lorenzen, Moscot, Axelrod).

Complete incompetence. I wonder how the Reds' front office feels about the fact that the Bengals are now the standard when it comes to operating a major sport in this town. The Reds' front office is a joke. B-Cast needs to clean house. Walt is atrocious.

Royals broadcasters: "It's got to be a little painful for the Reds to watch Madsen pitching like this."

You don't know pain, man.

I take that back. After their 1985 title, KC went 29 years without even making the playoffs. If one team knows pain, it's the Royals.

The Rockies can rest well knowing that they are getting the job done on offense...despite being a poor offensive club and having the worst record in the NL.
Isn't that partially because of the HRs hit in the thin air in Denver?

I know that I am late, and too sorry to read the whole game thread, but I'd like to be one of the first 200 to thank that veteran innings-eater, Jason Marquis, for gobbling up a smorgasbord-like 3.2 innings. Thanks, J.M.

I'm not really liking the early returns on the Lorenezen in the bullpen experiment. I know you have to limit his innings, but for someone still just getting used to being a starting pitcher, I would have left him alone in the rotation for the time being.

Inglasias and Lorenzen can't start to limit innings yet can mop up after Marquis. I know it's just an inning each but the whole scenario is emblematic of, as Redsfaithful said in another thread, broken decision making processes. It's just so stupid. Infuriatingly so.

Thom brings up the Cards season a few years back where they hit like .950 with RISP.

Chris: "Yea, but then they went right back down the next year. Wouldn't you really prefer a team that just gets a lot of guys in scoring position period? ... I think hitting good with RISP is a subset of being a good hitting team."
