It's okay. We spent the whole day in bed with a trash can by our side. We avoided the TV for fear that it might make our headache worse. We managed to get some saltines down in the morning. We took some Tylenol, probably more than we should. As the day went on, our head started to clear up a bit and we were able to eat a cheeseburger without puking it up. We've made it through the worst part of the hangover. Now it's time to get back on the horse.
And the horse we're riding tonight is a good one. Seriously, thank god for Aaron Harang. He isn't perfect, but he is our best hope to stop the bleeding. The Reds have now lost 3 of their last 4 since Harang last pitched, and the losses were 3 of the toughest losses the Reds have had this season. It's time for Harang to come in and pull us back off the ledge and make us forget the debacles of the last two days. I know you don't owe it to us, and the offense sure doesn't deserve your help, Aaron, but could you do us this favor, please? We need some good news in our lives.
As always, it won't be easy for Harang tonight as he faces left-hander J.A. Happ, who is having himself a fine little season. It'll be the first time the Reds have faced have Happ. In fact, not a single Reds player has batted against him yet. That always turns out well.
Dusty gives us the same lineup tonight that we had last night. Hopefully the results are much better.

First mobile comment!
I feel vaguely hopeful about tonight game. Probably because there’s no way we should win: harang on the hill, good lefty on the mound we’ve never seen means it should be a shutout, so I’m calling 8-2 Reds.
Isn't there a slanket somewhere you should be filling with your farts?

I feel pretty deflated at the moment
so I am going into this game with several modest hopes:
1) Joey Votto gets two hits
2) Harang at least keeps us in contention
3) someone on the Phillies gets hit by a pitch and thos Phillies fans start booing like mad; this would be immediatley followed by a high powered strikeout and the next inning a solo shot form Willy T
not so modest after all lol

Marty is really relishing the collapse.
It’s awesome. Hal brings up Gomes’s comment about how their performance today will tell what they’re made of, and Marty, a twinkle in his eye and a snarky tinge to his voice, jumps in: “Weeeeeell, they’re down 2-0 now!”
He sits alone...Reds are not home.
When Grande says Happ is 'sneaky fast'
it really means our batters are just absolutely clueless up there.

One of the neat things about living in VA
Is that all these names you know from the Civil War are all around you in everyday use. I used to live about 10 miles from Manassas. I cross Antietam Creek whenever I go home. Fredericksburg is about an hour south, and so on. Of course, it also means that I have to take Jefferson Davis Highway in to work every morning. Piss on those that tell me Northern Virginia isn’t really the South!
Well
I guess that was pretty good, giving up only one run.

Not saying it shouldn’t happen, but none of the other outfielders can hit lefties either

not sure
but right now, at this point in his career, they aren’t doing him any favors. I am not a fan of the lefty sitting against lefty plan but right now he has no confidence at the plate. Maybe a few days off will help restore that swagger
Don't pick a fight with an old man. If he is too old to fight, he'll just kill you.
or maybe a good coach would too

I agree there’s no better option. I just don’t like seeing it happen.
I think he should be in the 2-hole. And also should try SOMETHING to adjust his stance. YOu wouldn’t want to do anything radical to cut down on his power, but he has a massive hole there and keeps golfing balls.

He tweaked that bounding up the stairs 2 at a time.
But that’s not what has him on the DL right now.

This always happens
We bring up an arm after a long bullpen night, and then Dusty won’t use him because it’s too close of a game. Same thing happened with Fisher, and Roenicke if I’m not mistaken.

Not sure
but in general, runner on 3rd with one out is 0.983 runs expected. Runner on 2nd with 0 out is 1.189 runs expected. But, a runner on 2nd with 1 out is 0.725.
The failure to get the runner to 3rd is much more damaging than the out.
