I love it when the Cubs come to town. The last couple of years their team has been full of older starish players that aren't trying that hard and are over paid. The Reds have been doing terrible lately, and I'm glad I can watch them play the Cubs and beat them soundly pretty often.
It seems like lately if the Reds can find a way to lose it they will some how manage it. I couldn't believe the game against the Dodgers, that game-tying grand slam was unbelievable. Then they went on to lose in extra innings.
The eight-teen inning game against the Phillies was almost as dramatic. But this time it was mostly a mental mistake that cost the Reds this game and forced them to go through most of their bullpen.
One bright spot has been Jay Bruce who was named National League player of the month for May 2011. He has really turned it around during that month and at one point he was leading the league in Home runs.
It's unfortunate that the starting pitching has been terrible this year. I'm starting to wonder if 2010 was just a Cinderella season, and it might be the case if the starters don't get healthy.
