And if Kyle thought Cincinnati fans know how to boo, wait until the fans of Brotherly Love get ahold of him. Lohse gets to enjoy a playoff chase so it’s hard to feel too bad for him. If he pitches like he did for the Reds, he’ll get applause every fourth start and boos the rest of the time.
I like how Krivsky dealt with this trade as a manager: “I made up my mind that it was going to get done today before he got on the bus because it would have been awkward. (Tuesday) is his day to pitch.” It’s good to see common sense at work. A lot of times you see players complain about the foresight shown by management “They could have dealt with this before I flew to Seattle,” etc….
The Reds ran out of steam against the Cubs after a great homestand. I knew the Reds were in trouble Sunday when I saw Zambrano pitch the first inning. The guy has a swagger to him right now.
