The Reds Rocket has been somewhat remiss in its promise to comment, usually without analysis or even reason, about the Reds play. Well, as the season winds down and I find myself in the busy season of the animal-carcass gathering business (the daylight reduces the stop time) I just haven't been able to find the 2 minutes necessary to write about the Reds mediocre play. Well, that may or may not change today. At least I'm writing about the Reds' big ol' win over them Astros last night. The win, of course follows four consecutive losses, including a sweep by the Brewers and a bullpen malfunction on Monday resulting a loss in the first game of this series.
Since I didn't commemorate Mesoraco's first career bombo with a picture of him admiring his shot, here's one. But in full disclosure, this is actually a photo of his first home run, however, we can both pretend it's from last night, even if Getty Images didn't bother to send a photographer to very relevant Reds/Astros game. He took Bud Norris' high fastball out to left in a hurry, showing some of that plus power everyone is hoping he showcases on a regular basis next season. I'm pretty sure he will. It's nice that he get a chance to take a couple of swings here in September.
Bailey, who loves pitching in Texas, was quite good again last night. He went 7 and gave up just 2 runs on a J.D. Martinez home run. He also had a career high 3 hits at the plate, bringing his average up above .290. Marty even took the time to compliment his approach at the plate, saying his hard work really shows up there. How about that? I think he still has one start to be labeled the 'most frustrating pitcher who has ever existed in the Major Leagues.' Bruce picked up three hits after abstaining for the weekend and Phillips hit his 18th homer of the year. He's really turned it on in September. He may or may not be seeing flashing dollar signs in front of his eyes. Either way, the Red are going to have a tough time explaining turning down his option ($12 million) after the season if that happens. That's a high price tag. There are rumors that Jocketty may be heading out of town, I'm not sure how reliable they are, so, that could be a decision he doesn't have to make. Maybe they'd promote Joe Morgan to run the team. I think he's probably near the top of the list.
The Reds have an afternoon game today, which I enjoy. I'm not sure about everyone else's opinion. Arroyo is trying to avoid giving up homers 199 and 200 on the year. I suppose it's nice to be in the record books anyway you can get there, even if it's for being terrible. 'Turn to page 167, that's right, worst pitcher in the major league in 2011.' Just kidding Bronson, you're at least better than Casey Coleman, Esmil Rogers, Aaron Cook and J. Happ. Those guys didn't even bother making 30 starts. Or have mono. There are lots of excuses in place. Reds! Reds! Reds!

Atleast we still have Baker! I don’t care what you say about the guy! He made us into a playoff team after 15 years of nothingness
Baker needs to pull some magic as they have the a ton of moving pieces in the pitching staff. Only two givens in staff and about 6 others competing, glad we have Dusty
