    Warning track shot snared by The Ham. Mission accomplished, nonetheless - the Reds give the lead back to its rightful owner. We trail by 2 with 2 innings to play. Gotta like our chances.

    Update: this thread now feels less like the kid in the empty theater screaming "fire!" than is does masturbation.

    Randy Flores now in to pitch. Interesting factoid about Flores - his last name almost translates to "Flowers" in Spanish. I live in "Florida" which translates to "Flower."

    The Floral One fools the Free-Swinging One in Done (Dunn). One down.

    Reds harmless in the 8th. Game pretty much over at this point.

    Marcus McBeth in the game. First I've seen of him.

    One down. McBeth actually looked competent. He may not belong in this pen.

    McBeth induces another harmless popup which reinforces my belief that he does not belong here. 2 down.

    3 up, 3 down. McBeth will be immediately ostracized by the rest of the Big Top, despite his Shakespearean name.

    Headed to the 9th, 2 shy of the Champs.

    My cable has acted awful lately, how did McBeth look outside of the obvious results (how was his stuff in other words)?

    Castro leads off. Nothing but SWEETNESS.

    He hits a chopper that really challenged Eckstein. He plays the game the right way.

    One down.

    Izzy strikes out Hatteberg and we're left with another close game loss due to overusing the starter and an offense that fails to capitalize on their opportunities far too often.

    Arroyo battled more but still looked off as he has since that 129-pitch outing. Velocity down, poor pitch location.

    McBeth looked pretty good. Nice movement on the pitches. Good location. Nice velocity. No K's yet but still good.

    Overall though just another piece of evidence that "we're better than it looks."

    That and the fact that it looks like the refugees to the forum are quickly slipping back to the homeland are about the only issues worth discussing tonight.

    4-game losing skid, I wonder who will be the new fallguy since Narron is untouchable. Maybe Arroyo has become obsessed with hair to the point that he is neglecting his off-day throwing sessions and the constant brushing has given him brush dead arm. And to show that this team is focused on winning, R Cast will send him down to the $5 barbers and get that head shaved so we'll know that this team is better than it looks (which it is, but it can't be realized with injuries + Narron's style, it's just a lot of fun to say though.)

    Oh and if you guys were wondering where I was at last night, my laptop is completely dead, I think the hard drive is anyway, so I was trying to fix a corrupted hard drive to no avail til about 4 in the morning.
