« Tom Seaver Pitches Mets to Win Over Reds | Gary Nolan Out Pitches Jon Matlack in Reds Win »

By Thaq Diesel 

• The Reds are the second team in the majors to win 20 games and are a half game out for the best record in baseball.  What a great start to the season.  I couldn’t be more pleased or surprised.
• It was only a two-game series, but it’s still sweet to sweep the Cardinals.
• Who would have thought that the Reds on Wednesday, near the top of the majors in home runs, would be shut out in the thin mile-high air?   It was a shame because it was a pretty good pitching performance by Brandon Claussen. 
• Aaron Harang had a masterful pitching performance in Colorado striking out 12 and breaking  bats all over the place.   The Reds have a low ERA the past 10 games too, which correlates to the 8-2 record.
• It was cold and rainy, but there was NObody in the stands in Colorado.  It’s a shame because the Rockies have had a great and suprising start too.  They have the 2006 “Thaq Diesel Reds vs. Colorado Rockies” curse to thank for that.
• Tomorrow, we get another look at Elizardo Ramirez.  He’s had two quality starts since his call up from the minors and will need all the help he can get as he matches up against the Diamondback’s Brandon Webb (4-0, 2.22 ERA)
• I heard a podcast a couple days ago: “Baseball Today” on ESPN.  The host said, “The Reds are off to a hot start, their pitching has been great, but it just can’t last.”  We’ll see. 
• The Tigers are the American League version of the Reds this year - nobody expected them to compete, but they’re getting great hitting and solid pitching and have put together a great record and are only 1.5 games out of first.  The Reds, the Rockies, the Tigers; it’s just kooky.
