Wow, I didn't realize it was that bad. Since the Pirates were in first place back on July 20th...they've gone 16-38 since. They clinched another losing season today.

Why did Johnny only pitch 3 innings?
Ondrusek in for the 7th. K's the first 2 he faces.
6-2 Reds after 7 full.
Masset on the bump for the 8th.
8 pitch 1-2-3 inning. 1 K

I like Stubbs, I really do, but at this point...the Reds have to give serious consideration to moving him down in the pecking order. Heisey has more dingers and more ribbies than Drew does in HALF the ab's.
Stubbs 566 ab / 15 hr / 42 rbi
Heisey 236 ab / 16 hr / 43 rbi
Yes, Stubbs is a better CF'er...but Heisey is NOT a bad defender there. He's very good too.
Arredondo in for the 9th. Janish in as defensive replacement for Renteria. Ummm...who's managing this game? :O)
WOW. Francisco shows off his RIFLE! Great play, even greater arm. Color me impressed.
2 down.
And this one belongs to the Reds! Ground out to Janish to end it. Excellent job by the bully tonight.
Nice to see Lecure collect a win even if it was by default. His first win of the season, by the way, although he has pitched well out of the pen.
In 5 years, no one will know Heisey's name and Stubbs will be a star--at least that's the chance you gotta take. Stubbs speed is the difference for me and you have to remember Stubbs spent a lot of time leading off. Just the sophomore jinx--something Mike Leake avoided.

You gotta see that replay if you weren't watching the game. It was unbelievable. Say what you want about his defense but you don't make that play unless you've got some serious skills. I don't think the Cincinnati Reds version of Scott Rolen could have made that play. Perhaps the Scott Rolen of ten yrs ago. That play alone tells me that Francisco can play 3B and I'd like to see more of him over there. Let's face it, Rolen is not going to be able to play 3rd on a fulltime basis anymore.
My guess is it'll be the #1 defensive highlight on ESPN tonight
