Reds Bombed By Bucs, Harang Sucks and It's Getting Foggy In Here

Reds lost tonight to the Buccaneers, 7-2. The home winning streak is over, and I'm concerned about Aaron Harang. After pitching poorly in his start Thursday at San Diego, the Cincinnasti Dream Dusty Baker had him throw sixty-three pitches in the marathon Sunday, then brought him back on three days' rest to start tonight. He just didn't have his breaking ball, plain and simple, and didn't have great location on his fastball. Now the Reds are three games into a stretch of twenty straight games without an off-day with a tired stopper. That's freaking faaaaan-tastic.

Additionally, Adam Dunn left the game early apparently due to his little child having a massive seizure, although he's apparently okay right now I'm hoping for the best, as is everyone.

LHwaP and ex-Red Phil Dumatrait made the Reds look like the kiddie corps offensively, and it was super embarassing for all.

And on top of all that, to make us even more emo, another PLAYER MOVE!!!! Kent Mercker is back from his questionable DL stint, Matt Belisle is in AAA and the Reds have decided to put their best foot forward in front of the nation and start Josh Fogg on Fox Saturday Baseball against the Fiesta Bravos.

Positives tonight? No one bombed the stadium. I assume no hick was like "watch this" and fell to their death walking down the escalator rail. It was tied at the start of the game and also after one inning. The Great Brandonie hit a dinger. A.Phil 2.0 got to start a game, which was probably exciting for his parents and friends. Why is Edwin getting so many days off? It's like Dusty is blaming Edwin for his ejection in San Diego. Hard times, indeed.

Tomorrow it's the Reds (25-29) and Braves (29-25) at home for the first of three. The Reds try to pick up the pieces of their shattered home win streak and start another one. Edinson Volquez tries to shake off the game-winning dinger from the SD Marathon against Tom Glavine. Yes, a game against another lefthander, making this I think 19 out of the last 20 someone has thrown a LHwaP. And on top of that, it's the greatest Reds killer of them all. The Reds knocked him around pretty good in that start earlier this year at the ATL, though, so who knows? Maybe something will happen and someone will win the game. You can only get analysis like this here, folks.
