It may have only been the Pirates, but Aaron Harang made sure we won a game we're supposed to win. A CG SHO 2-hitter! He deserves all the credit he can get....masterful performance. jump: :notworthy

"This field, this game, is a part of our past. It reminds us of all that once was good, and what could be again." -- Terence Mann
I must say I really enjoy it when a lineup that is ridiculed goes out and bangs.
I don't see the problem with tonight's lineup.
“And when finally they sense that some position cannot be sustained, they do not re-examine their ideas. Instead, they simply change the subject.” Jamie Galbraith
The Hammy/ Griff/ Dunn juggernaut will wreak havok in September for many playoff contenders.
Add Keppinger/ Phillips/ EE/ Valentin/ Gonzo/ Hatte make the lineup pretty scary on a nightly basis.
Baseball is like church. Many attend, few understand
Just got back from the game! What a performance by Harang! If he isn't an ace, then I don't know who is.
As always, I had a great time at PNC Park. If you have never been there, you need to go. I would like to give a shout-out to Bob the Usher in Section 114. I have had tickets in that section many times, and he always remembers me and takes care of me and my group.
The Reds' record in games that I have attended this season now stands at 10-3. (They are 10-1 in games in which someone other than Eric Milton was the starting pitcher!) I think I should be offered some sort of position with the organization or something!

Eric Stratton, Rush Chairman. Damn glad to meet ya.
Rob Neyer: "Any writer who says he'd be a better manager than the worst manager is either 1) lying (i.e. 'using poetic license') or 2) patently delusional. Which isn't to say managers don't do stupid things that you or I wouldn't."
What a game by Harang tonight!
Krivsky may not be long for the GM job, but he did a hell of a job getting Harang inked to a sensible long-term deal that keeps him a Red.

Krivsky may not immediately have been the perfect GM, but I see good in a lot of what he does/ has done. I hope he can grow and improve, rather than putting the organization through the turmoil of another regime change. Remember, he has still only been on the job for approx. a year and a half.
I keep hearing and reading that the Reds can't win with a good offense and HR hitters. (bullspit)
Heck, The Reds have hit HR's and scored lots of runs the last seven seasons.
All we need is some Pitchers that don't give up lots of HR's and runs scored.
