« Fred Norman Throws Four Hit Shutout | Reds Lose Game in Ninth Inning to Phillies »

By Thaq Diesel 

Well, we’re getting near the end of June and it seems like the Reds have struggled the whole month, but they’ve been exactly .500 this month going 10-10, which surprised me when I looked it up (the recent .  Yet, when I looked at the National League in total, there are only four teams that aren’t hovering at .500, the Reds having the third-best record of the four.  The Mets own the best Record by far, 18 games over .500.  But let’s face it, the National League is mediocre.

Which brings us to the recent series against the Mets where the Reds went .500 like the month of June.  Eric Milton has started again to look like his old self, which is troublesome.  If he gets behind in the count, it’s not hard to guess what’s coming next.  David Wright guessed fastball, and he was wright! 

Wednesday night, the Reds showed some of the plucky spark they showed in the first two months of the year by coming back late.  Granted they blew a lead by giving up three runs in the 7th, but let’s dwell on the positive.  Brandon Phillips hit a clutch bases-loaded single against Billy Wagner, who was throwing triple digit fastballs.  In fact, all the Reds hitters leading up to Phillips did a great job fighting off Wagner.

 ”I just stink,” said Reds reliever David Weathers after giving up 4 ER in 1/3 of an inning pitched on Tuesday.  Elizardo Ramirez has an ERA of 3.69 and has a 2-6 record.  I saw him smiling in the dugout during Wednesday’s game, so they haven’t broken his spirit.  The kid just can’t seem to get a break.

Speaking of stank, Arroyo went back to his nasty self (something Prince should start doing again, by the way) and pitched a complete game victory on Tuesday.  The Reds ain’t dead yet!  They may be sleepwalking, but they’re still alive and only four games out!  Beat the Indians!  Hell, beat anybody from the AL Central!
