Funny. CW yelling over Grande's assertation that Marquis has settled down. "They're hacking at the first pitch!" At least there is one sane person in the booth.

I'm still ticked the Reds brought Cueto back. He had a very strong August and had very respectable numbers for a 22-year old starter and had already thrown plenty of innings. A smart organization shuts him down after his injury and lets him end the season full of confidence. Instead the Reds decide to bring him back against arguably the best team in baseball and get roughed up without his best stuff. I don't care if he threw seven shutout innings tonight, he should have been shutdown IMO.
If he's that fragile, then trade him now. All pitchers have arm woes from time to time and this 5+ innings won't kill him as well as keeping the rotation full instead of throwing another kid out there to ruin his confidence.
It would make sense to shut him down if there was an alternative, but there isn't--especially if he's healthy.

Bit of a revenge night for the Cubbies...
9-1 Cubs. Burton doesn't have anything tonight which isn't surprising considering he just come off the DL.
Burton's ERA went from 2.19 to 2.82 tonight.
Man, the Reds struggle against mediocre junkballers.
Maybe GABP should have some ivy.
Gary Majewski is awful. Marquis homers.
Tell me again...why do we have Majik on this team?
