« Gary Nolan Shuts Out Pirates, Reds Win Fourth Straight Game | Reds Winning Streak Comes to an End »

By Thaq Diesel 

Welcome back Junior!  With one patented lazy swing depositing the ball in right center field, Griffey capped an amazing comeback win.  I said it once, I’ll say it again - this team finds a different hero every night.  What an exciting year it has been.  I still don’t believe it’s happening.  I also don’t have that indignant feeling fans get when their team was picked to be last and instead is doing well.  I agreed with the pundits before the year started - on paper, this team didn’t seem to have a shot.  Instead, it’s plucky and fiesty.  It reminds me a bit of the Cleveland Indians from last year. 

• The Reds seem to like to binge on certain stats.  Last week it was errors.  This week it has been stolen bases.  The Reds stole 11 bases against the Nationals, Felipe Lopez with five of those.  They stole zero bases on Tuesday, followed by six steals on Wednesday.  Five tonight.  I mean, that’s insane.  
• Another great start by Arroyo tonight.  No win, but we’ll take those kinds of starts every time. 
• Farewell to thee, Tony Womack.  We hardly knew ye.
• Another series win for the Reds who are in first place for 14 days straight.
• Cincinnati finishes out the month against Philly (decent team), Pittsburgh (last place in the Central, should win that series), Detroit (decent team), Milwaukee (sub .500, should win that series), Arizona (decent team), and the Cubs (bad team, getting worse, ready for the gas pipe).  I have to think they’ll be in first or just a couple games back by June. 
• I heard Colin Cowherd (he’s my favorite sports radio personality now - he’s always saying intelligent things) say on ESPN radio today that you need two good starters, a closer and clutch hitting to make it to the World Series.  Hmm, I wonder what team that describes thus far this season…
