Reds after two weeks

6-5, half a game behind St. Louis in the NL Central.


  • Joe Randa has been way more than anybody expected. Four taters already. WTF??
  • Rich Aurilia is about what we expected. Nobody really thought he'd tear it up at the plate, just take care of the ball on defense and contribute occaisionally on offense. He's doing that.
  • Eric Milton & Aaron Harang are looking good in the rotation. Ryan Wagner is lights out in the setup role. Danny Graves is incendiary as usual.
  • Wily Mo Pena is beating the shit out of the ball. They need to find a way to get that guy in the lineup, somehow. Every damb day. Every time he yanks a fastball, Junior's hammy starts achin' a little more.

Cubs are another half game back, but not for long -- they're in town starting tonight for a pair. Hey Kerry, come git yer dinner.
