    Reds look to recapture early magic in Pittsburgh

    Reds look to recapture early magic in Pittsburgh

    The Cincinnati Reds took two of three games when the Pittsburgh Pirates visited for a season-opening series. Boy, have things changed since then.

    The Pirates, who host the Reds for four games starting Thursday, have won 11 of 16 since that opening set, including sweeps at Boston and Colorado. Cincinnati, meanwhile, has lost 10 of 15 and hasn't won a series since.

    The Pirates just completed that second sweep, winning all three against the Rockies in Denver, including a 14-3 win Wednesday. They outscored Colorado by a whopping 33-9. They have won four of their past five overall.

    In fact, Pittsburgh has not lost two straight games since dropping the final two games of that opening series against Cincinnati.

    Pirates starters have gone at least six innings and turned in a quality start in nine games in a row.

    "Magic."

    So the Reds are trying to recapture some of the early magic of being able to win a series against another MLB team?

    I guess you can't be disappointed if your expectations are low enough.

    Here's to hoping the Reds go out there and make some plays! Here's to hoping they pitch that ball and swing that bat!

    Reds are unwatchable and completely buried by April 20th this season. I think that’s longer than last season.

    Ishtar is watchable, if that thrills you.

    It doesn't really thrill me at all.

    What thrills me is having Reds fans on a Reds board deride people for watching Reds baseball.

    That's sweet stuff baby

    I derided no one. You want to stick your tongue in that blender, I promise I won’t stop you.

    Imagine what this team will be like when one or two of the starters spend some time on the IL.

    Your favorite team, the cardinals, have been just as bad and unwatchable as the Reds.

    Maybe Votto has the mojo. When does he return?

    The Reds starter put up a 6 ERA today, they were sunk from the very get go. It's a quite common occurrence this season....thus far.
