I know it's only May and there is still a long way to go, but damn this series has me excited! When you've sludged through 8 straight losing seasons, meaningful games after April are always a welcome sight. It's been more than 2 years since the Reds have played a game of this magnitude this late in the year. What's amazing is that there isn't a single player in tonight's lineup who played for the Reds in that last meaningful game (mainly because Brandon Phillips and Edwin Encarnacion are banged up).
I could just stare at Johnny Cueto's stats all night. If it weren't for that stupid 6 walk performance back on April 17th, he'd be having a damn near perfect season. He's gone 7 innings or more in 7 straight starts and he's only allowed more than 3 runs in one of those starts. Over that stretch, he has a 1.98 ERA and has only allowed 4 HR. That's pretty damn awesome.
The biggest problem for Cueto this year has been run support. The Reds have only averaged 3.98 R/G for him this season, and they've only scored more than 4 runs in 3 of his starts this year. I wonder if Cueto and Aaron Harang sit around in the dugout and wonder why Bronson Arroyo gets all of the love from the offense.
The Reds smacked around Braden Looper back at the beginning of May when they last faced him, knocking him out of the game after just 3.1 innings. Looper gave up home runs to Jay Bruce and Willy Taveras that day as the Reds scored 5 runs off of him in route to a 6-5 victory. He beat the Reds on April 15th though as Micah Owings and Jared Burton were hit hard by the Brewers offense.
The Brewers come into this game having lost 5 of their last 6, which comes right on the heels of winning 9 out of 10 games. The Reds have won 7 of the last 11 meetings between these two teams, and they've also won 8 of the last 12 games they've played in Miller Park. The Brewers are a good team, but there is definitely no reason for the Reds to be intimidated heading into Milwaukee.

i can't wait
i’ve never seen them in nyc. should be fun. making a four day weekend of it and going to baseball on the weekend.
Did you see The National in DC?
I went to the Sunday night late show. Matt was climbing on the speakers and pouring drinks for the front row. Good times all around.

they're really awesome musicians, aren't they?
my favorite show, though, was the free one on fountain square last october in support of early voting for obama. the air was just different for that show. there was the desperate feeling of hope. it really was incredible!
Also a fall crispness
Or everyone knew things were cool because the Breeders were there.

i took a picture of one of the boxes up there because it said "Pixies"
i just thought that was…nostalgic?
I like Pixies
"It seems as if every mistake I've ever made in life I've had an erection in one hand and a Bud Light in the other."
Nope
It’s a group that had a great run, called it quits before sticking around too long and becoming embarrassing, then had a nice little reunion when they needed some money and proved that they could still rock, but didn’t feel the need to make a new album.
More bands should have that career arc.

I saw the Pixies on their reunion tour. Very glad that I did. nothing wrong with a mid-life cash grab if you can still bring it.

When I was a kid there was a 5K that ended on the outfield in Riverfront
It took place between games in a doubleheader. I remember seeing Browning warm up, seeing guys toss in the outfield, and just generally shitting myself in disbelief that I was on the field. Maybe my fondest Reds memory.
Nice inning at the place guys. What was that 8 pitches?
