It begins tonight, with the Reds holding a commanding six game lead in the NL Central. I am trying my hardest to not get too excited, because the series this weekend could totally shift momentum. However, I was amazed that the Reds were able to pull off a win last night. That was the sloppiest I've seen them play all year, but they found a way to get it done.

Aaron Harang gets the call tonight, in what could be his last start in a Reds uniform if he sucks. Yovani Gallardo is going for the Brewers.

In Houston, it'll be Carpenter vs. Wandy.

Reddman, I want to hear some of the things that were going through your head last night during the game.

I think my favorite gaffe was Bruce getting thrown out at second trying to tag up.

No, you don't.

I yelled "frick" out loud six times in the first five innings.

1st inning-double fricking play to end the threat.
2nd inning-double fricking play to end the threat.
3rd inning-Bruce with the dumbass tag attempt from first base.
4th inning-Stubbs with the idiotic non-slide into third to end the threat.
5th inning-Valaika with the idiotic blunder on third base
5th inning-double play to end the threat.


However, I was thrilled to see how Bray manhandled Fielder, and how well Ondrusek and Masset looked.

Wandy has been pitching great should be a good game.

I hate having to choose a team to root for in this game. I know having the astros win directly helps us but it still makes me a little nauseous.

If were up to me, I'd be sending your arse out to the Juice Box tonight in full Astros gear.

The Astros are clearly the lesser of two evils.

Barry you better not get on the Reds bad side, I don't doubt the first time they lose back to back games reddman will start a petition to get you banned.

Naw, Barry's been on board since the DRT was invented, even during the shithole times.

If anyone is gonna get fricking ended, it's Cosmo Kramer.

I traded him to Boo in TDBL earlier this season. If he stayed on my team, he was destined to get hurt.

Wasn't it Barry's self imposed ban that salvaged the season after the Cards got their brooms out?
