Pirates are 3-13.  3 wins in 16 games.  If the Reds don't take at least 3 of 4, then...

God love Thom Brennaman, who has the uncanny knack of putting earrings on whatever pigs we are playing no matter how bad they are.

Barnhart is just TERRIBLE!

The one takeaway from this game that I will always remember was the catch that our Japanese outfielder made in the fifth inning.  I'm not sure Billy Hamilton would have gotten that one, and the outfielder who failed to catch Joey Votto's walkoff double from Kansas City wouldn't have had a chance in hell.

One of the best timed, most athletic catches I've ever seen made.  He seems to be a solid player, I hope we keep him around. 

We are now 8-11 or 22-30 in normal regular season parlance, while playing teams far from being tops in the leagues..
