Red Reposter: No Time to Mope

Last night was a disaster, but they're still going to play the game today, so we'll have to carry on with the Reposter:

• The Reds have the difficult task of putting the last 2 games behind them.  I think Jonny Gomes has some good perspective on the situation though:

  "We’re not going to go undefeated," he said. "We already determined that. You don’t want to lose like that. But it’s the same as a 1-0 loss.
  
  "Today really sucked. But tomorrow will determine what kind of team we are."

  We've heard a lot about this team's bounceback ability.  Well, they are now one-game under .500 and tied for 4th place with the Astros in the NL Central.  Granted, they are still only 3.5 games out of first, but I think we are finding out right now what this team is made of, and it's not good.

• Paul Daugherty thinks the Reds should emulate the Cardinals.  Honestly, I don't quite get what he's arguing except to say that the Reds aren't really a small market team. Otherwise, if he's saying the Reds should draft Albert Pujols and put a winning team on the field, then, yeah, he's right. Great insight, Paul!

• Doug Gray looks at Josh Roenicke using Pitch FX.

• Two Reds players were named Defensive All Stars by FanGraphs.  I'm guessing the same wouldn't happen on the offensive side.

• On Saturday, Micah Owings became the 37th pitcher to have multiple 3+ HR seasons in his career.  So there's that.

• Minor League managers should get tossed more often.  They always seem to make it memorable.

• The Best Shortstop in Each MLB Franchise's History.

• Baseball's classic stirrups all but gone from the game.

• The Cubs are finally sold for $900 million.  Well, sort of.

• In case you missed it, Ryan Freel is with his 4th organization in a year.  This time Farney takes his act to Kansas City.
