Olivo doubles to left center. 9-4 Rockies.
Only 1 of our 6 relief pitchers were even remotely effective today (J. Smith).
Not good.
Votto for MVP
Spilborghs singles to left. 10-4 Rockies.
Let them get it out of their system today.
Inning finally over on a fly out to center. I have to leave if anyone else wants to do PBP.
More runs! More runs! Pour it on!

Lead will dwindle down to 6 games after this debacle.
This is what happens when you play like cow excrement against your direct competition and then count on other teams to do your dirty work for you.
A 6 game lead is far from safe. Ask The Padres.
The Reds front office should have to explain why they think Fisher is a better pitcher than Jared Burton. I called 2-3 runs scoring even before he threw his 1st pitch of the inning.
