    I had to work on a Saturday. What is Redszone's excuse for not even a single post acknowledging a double header until about 3 innings into the second game?

    Shameful display.

    I was going to start a thread around noon, when the rain delay was going on, but I'm lazy and hoped some one else would do it by the time the game actually started. By the time I got back to it, Disco Demolition day had already begun, so I blew it off.

    Finnegan walks the pitcher to load the bases and is replaced after 83 pitches and just 2.1 innings. Glad Bryan Price got that even 30 number for Finnegan starts that he really wanted, really accomplished a lot.

    I'm continuing my streak of never starting a game thread.

    At least I don't think I've ever started one.

    Reds pitching is falling apart late in the year. I can't believe I'm saying this for the first time in my life, but I hope the season ends soon to save the arms.

    I really dislike the Pirates Sean Rodriguez.

    Would never root against the old Redlegs. But back when Billy was playing and we were competitive, I was worried that they might use our decent play as a reason for extending Bryan. Don't have to worry about that anymore. Which is not to say they won't come up with some other dopey reason for extending him.

    Back to back HR by Schebler and Cabrera. 6-2 Pirates in the 5th.

    Was wondering when Scheb was going to flash the power again, hadn't gone deep since late August despite hitting well.

    I will say this, and Tom should take note, that I'm thinking my initial assessment of the Frazier trade may have been incorrect. Peraza and Schebler are both looking like solid contributors for the near future.

    Now the important question. Where are those bouncing smiley faces you usually post?
