The back end of this losing streak was like a 2005 flashback. The pitching staff gave up runs, and even in today’s win, the Reds’ pitchers gave up eight. Remember what a Typical Reds Win (TRW) is right? Looks like the Reds we all know and love might be back.
That doesn’t mean we have a reason to be dicouraged. Yes, the pitchers will give up some runs, but all we can hope is that hitters keep on hitting like they did today.
Eric Milton is set to come back from his knee injury and he’ll be replacing Dave Williams, who was shelled today, in the rotation. Milton wasn’t throwing that bad when he went on the DL, so maybe he’ll be the lift that we need.
Future Hall of Famer Adam Dunn has hit a little bit of a slump. His batting average is now down to .220, and it’s been over a week since he’s hit a homerun. Hopefully he’ll be able to snap out of it when we face the team with the best record in the major leagues this weekend, the Detroit Tigers.
THE DETROIT TIGERS!!!!!!!!?????????
Good lord, and the Cubs will beat the Tigers in the World Series and the world will end. Either that or we’ll all start driving a horse and buggy to work because that hasn’t happened since 1908.
Speaking of the world ending, Jacci, lost her dolly and I’m one of the accused despite the fact that I live way up here in the Detroit area. One nice thing about working for yourself is you can pick and choose the days you work, and for Sunday night and Monday morning I have the perfect alibi. You all know how much I love sci fi and I was busy enjoying the latest Star Ward book. I couldn’t think of a better way to spend my rainy days off.
