It's okay, as long as they still can't beat other teams. Reds lose, 3-2.

PrintJoe Nuxhall Memorial Honorary Star of the Game
Jaime Garcia. The St. Louis hurler went 6.2 strong innings, allowing six hits and two runs. He also went 2-2 at the dish, including a double. Honorary mentions go to Skip Schumaker, Scott Rolen, and Paul Janish.
Key Plays
- St. Louis got off to a flying start against Bronson Arroyo. Skip Schumaker singled to lead off the first inning, and then Jon Jay tripled, bringing him in. Albert Pujols then hit a sacrifice fly and Jay scored. Cardinals lead, 2-0.
- The Cardinals tacked on another run in the second inning. Brendan Ryan singled with one out, and then Jaime Garcia hit a double. If Bronson had managed to get the pitcher out, Skip Schumaker's subsequent ground out would have ended the inning. Instead, it was enough to score Ryan, and give the Cardinals would turned out to be an insurmountable 3-0 lead.
- By the third inning, the Reds started to look like they would make a game of it. Paul Janish homered. Cardinals lead, 3-1.
- In the fourth inning, Scott Rolen drew a one out walk, then scored when Jonny Gomes hit a deep double to left center. Unfortunately, Gomes was thrown out trying for third. Just because you can't hit the cutoff man, Jonny, doesn't mean other teams can't. Even more unfortunately, Ryan Hanigan then singled, a hit likely would have tied the game. Instead, Cardinals win, 3-2.
Other Notes
- The Cardinals scored in consecutive innings for the first time in seven games.
- Jaime Garcia has beaten the Reds four times, but Paul Janish's homer ended a streak of 22.2 innings without allowing an earned run.
- Garcia is 4-4 lifetime batting against Bronson Arroyo.
- The one thing Jonny Gomes had avoided doing this season was grounding into a double play... until he did that in the second inning.

Be that as it may
I still dislike them whole lot. It was more of a fuck ’em in general, not really directly related to last night. And yes, life is very good
life is fuckin beautiful.
Joey Votto is my MVP.

interesting story
i’ve been waiting table this summer – tonight was my last night before grad school starts again on tuesday.
a woman at my last table tonight had the running box score for this game on her blackberry. she is a cardinals fan because her husband is. she reassured me, after the loss was confirmed, that the reds are still fine. i responded that she was right, unless they get swept. she told me that would be awesome, because right now things were bad between them, but if the cardinals swept, her husband could probably start loving her again.
tough spot for a server – i’m very much rooting for the failure of their marriage.
Just because I don't care doesn't mean I don't understand
If their marriage depends on a baseball team's performance, they're done anyway.
Did she tip well?

wow
after re-reading the threads, I was in fine form last night. This series being played on STL time may just destroy me, so I’m glad you guys all get to witness it.

Gomes out at third
Didn’t see it, taking boy to Kings Island to celebrate his first week of kindergarten :)
Anyway, i think that type of hustle has gained more wins than losses. Just sucks that it happened against the Cardinals and appeared to cost a run.
Gnight, Slim
I feel like, more than any other player, Gomes falls into the "trying to do too much" trap
He’s similar to Ryan Freel in that sense, which I guess is why people in Cincinnati love him. Sometimes though, it can be really annoying (specifically when he’s airmailing throws over the catcher or, like last night, taking an ill-advised extra base).

Gomes, Gomes, Gomes
To me, Gomes is proof that they were hopeful, but not necessarily planning for 2010 to be the team’s breakout year. I fully expect someone else out there next season.
at first i thought it was gomes trying to make sure the ball got cut off .. sac himself for the run
but i suppose it was just bad baserunning

I thought of this,
but he should have just taken a wide turn around second, not made himself into a sure out. I don’t know if Mark berry had anything to do with it, I guess he could have been waving Gomes around to 3rd.
Berry was probably waving him HOME. He can blow me.

Phillips
looked weak. I think he should be coming back more slowly.
I’m trying not to over react but the Cards can still make this a race if they sweep us and the Reds go out west and play flat.
Reds must've lost last night
Lance McAlister is nit-picking the Reds on twitter.

Lance McCalister may be worse than tHom.
Fucking know it all who never shuts up.
If a guy hits .300 every year, what does he have to look forward to? I always tried to stay around .190, with three or four RBI. And I tried to get them all in September. That way I always had something to talk about during the winter.

it is moderately depressing that
Lance McAlister and Mo Egger are the only two people in Cincinnati who qualify as sports talk radio hosts
DID YOU HEAR WHAT COLIN COWHERD HAD TO SAY!?!?!
(tune into this station to hear what he has to say next!)
I hear all of this panic over the Reds record vs 1/2 place teams, I wonder how we compare to the other 1/2 placers
Also, I’d it better to struggle against good teams and thrash bad ones like the Reds, or vice versa like the Cards? I mean, there’s a lot more meh and bad teams than good ones.

Looking at the standings, I'd say it's better to beat up the bad teams.
Take one of three here, stay up 7 games, take care of the non-contenders…we’re in good shape.

The Reds took a massive hit to their BP playoff odds
By losing to the team directly chasing them, the Reds’ playoff chances fell from 98.3% all the way to 97.6%.

Cards' lineup this afternoon is awful
Miles
Jay
Pujols
Holliday
Stavinoah
Molina
Feliz
Ryan
Wainwright
Doesn't matter if they can't score 3 runs.
Wainwright is 0-3 in his last 3 starts, partially because he’s giving up 3-4 runs per start, and partially because the Cardinals offense is absolute shit.
if we can get one game out of this series
we’ll be in good shape.
