Janish hits into inning ending dp...Pads 2, Reds 1 bottom of 8th coming up
Now he makes a visit to the mound?
Win some, lose some, some get rained out.
Not sure why Arroyo is back out there after having thrown 110 pitches. I would have brought in Danny Ray, who faced one batter last night, and pinch-hit for him in the bottom of the inning. If the Reds came back, Cordero could pitch the 9th. Tomorrow's an off-day.
Go BLUE!!!
Reds lose 3-1. What a sucky 2nd half of the road trip.

Swept by the mighty Padres.
Well, overall, BA kept the Reds in the game today, after a very shaky start. Going against Peavy, the Reds still had a chance to tie all the way into the 9th inning. Finished road trip 3 - 3, which is better than in years past. Unfortunately, the California portion never seems to go well.
Off day tomorrow, with Phillies coming to town on Tuesday.
From sweepers to sweepees. So it goes.

Oh well. This team is better than the last four Reds teams, but still has it's problems. One is chemistry. NO, I cannot define that term, but they seemed to have it just three games ago. The chemistry we saw in Arizona disappeared in San Diego. I'll leave you to your own conclusions on that, but more on that later. I just feel good that I didn't have to watch this series. It would have broken my heart.

I watched all three games and the reds looked like a completly different team than the last series againist the dbacks.We all know that the past few years that we have not won at all out west and it really looked like they siked themselfs out.They played like they knew they could'nt win that series b/c it was in california.They played like they did earlier in the season scoring three runs with three hits.It was terrible!!!!!!:thumbdown

I can spell,I just can't type!!
John Fay messed up a little bit when he mentioned after the Arizona series that this proved the Reds might be shaking their poor record in the Pacific time zone. But he was mistaken. While the club was playing three hours behind, effectively playing on "Pacific time", they in fact were playing the games in Mountain Standard Time. Arizona doesn't go on Daylight savings time, so they're three hours behind, but technically it wasn't Pacific time. Well, there you have it.
