L-L-L-L-L-Lohse, Reds 5-1

Nice all around ballgame from the Redlegs tonight. Lohse was impressive for 7 [and one Pujols] and Daggum Ross hit one all the way to them there mountains. You see 'em, way off in the distance? Defies the laws of physics or some shit. Then Wainwright presented Cincinnati with a pretty nice meltdown. He should consider going back to that beard he had last post season, if he wants to win, which he may not. The Reds don't need his help anyway, Narron has everything under control. Look, Lohse and Arroyo both have their ERAs under 5.00. The author thinks the club has matured since last night and are ready to contend.

Tomorrow it's the Homer Bailey Project, phase five versus newcomer Mike Maroth. Maroth makes Anthony Young look like a winner, you know, with all the losses he had back when the Tigers were terrible. Young at least spread them out over a couple of seasons. Reds! Reds! Reds!
