Reds Win Again

Nice wins over the last two games. Good pitching, clutch hitting, good times all around.

Arroyo helped his trade value with that stellar outing today. Granted, the Nationals are really bad, but a big league team is a big league team and last year the Nats destroyed Bronson in his two starts against them.

Griffey managed to sneak one out to right to put the Reds up 2-0. There are no style points on your dingers when you're struggling like Junior is. I was looking at his numbers during last night's game and realized that if he doesn't go on a tear for the rest of the year he's looking at a full season with about 18 or 19 homers. That's just embarassing.

Predictibly, the trade rumors swirling around before the game turned out to be bunk, at least so far. Something could still happen but for as many reports saying it was nearly done, there was another report calling the rumor a bunch of crap. Bunches of crap smell very familiar to Reds fans. Huzzah.

Disappointing Fourth crowd today but admittedly there was a rain delay and it looked downright gloomy. The Nasti always depends heavily on walkups and they likely didn't get any today.

Taco Filling is a beautiful singer. Let's get three of four tomorrow. Fogg Fever. Catch it.
