ArmyBengal Posted June 20, 2011 Report Posted June 20, 2011 Here we go with the Yankees in town for a 3 game series and Cueto starts things off tonight.We are sitting just two games behind the Brewers and Cards who are tied at the top.The Brewers start their series with the Devil Rays and the Cards are playing the Phillies.The Reds just need to relax and try to get the series opener tonight. They just seem to do better when getting the opening win in a series.Hopefully Cueto is feeling it tonight and brings his "A" game, because I would love to see them beat up on the Yankees !!!GO REDS !!!

Stripes Posted June 20, 2011 Report Posted June 20, 2011 I really hope the Reds can give Cueto some runs tonight. Johnny is clearly our best pitcher right now, but I really don't want him working with just 1 or 2 runs when he has to turn it over to the bullpen. Quote
ArmyBengal Posted June 20, 2011 Author Report Posted June 20, 2011 Cueto gets scratched from the start and Travis Wood is in.He promptly gives up a bunch of hits and the Reds find themselves down again early.1-0 Yankees with 2 on and 1 out. Quote
ArmyBengal Posted June 20, 2011 Author Report Posted June 20, 2011 2-0 Yankees and this could get real ugly. Quote
ArmyBengal Posted June 20, 2011 Author Report Posted June 20, 2011 I don't know if Wood has a case of the jitters going against the Yankees with no notice, but he looks like he's done already.No control whatsoever. Hanigan gives him a target low and away and Wood throws it right down the pipe.Hope this gets better, but I think it won't.4-0 Yankees middle of 1st. Quote
BengalszoneBilly Posted June 20, 2011 Report Posted June 20, 2011 4-0 Yankees middle of 1st.Game over. Quote
ArmyBengal Posted June 20, 2011 Author Report Posted June 20, 2011 They got one run back in the bottom of the 1st with a Phillip's RBI single, but Votto hit into a double play ball and Bruce didn't get a hit to end it.I just think Wood will continue to give up hits through his outing tonight.Final score 7-3 Yankees.

cincyhokie Posted June 21, 2011 Report Posted June 21, 2011 Reds played scared from the start. Odd how a team comes home from a good road trip to 4 straight packed houses and completely look flat. Quote
ArmyBengal Posted June 21, 2011 Author Report Posted June 21, 2011 Well, that really sucked.They looked like a team that knew in their mind they were outmatched before the game even started.Like they had mentally conceded the loss.You just aren't going to come back from a 4-0 deficit against the Yankees that often.Maybe tonight !!! Quote
BengalszoneBilly Posted June 22, 2011 Report Posted June 22, 2011 Maybe tonight !!!Not with the weather in Cincy. Now it's a big double header on Wednesday. Quote
ArmyBengal Posted June 22, 2011 Author Report Posted June 22, 2011 First game at 12:35 and the second game at 7:10 tonight.GO REDS !!! Quote
ArmyBengal Posted June 22, 2011 Author Report Posted June 22, 2011 Leake got the start in the early game today.0-0 end of the 1st. Quote
ArmyBengal Posted June 22, 2011 Author Report Posted June 22, 2011 2-0 Yankees middle of the 4th. Quote
ArmyBengal Posted June 22, 2011 Author Report Posted June 22, 2011 Interesting inning ties things up 2-2 end of the 5th. Quote
ArmyBengal Posted June 22, 2011 Author Report Posted June 22, 2011 A homer by Posada puts the Yankees in front 4-2. Quote
ArmyBengal Posted June 22, 2011 Author Report Posted June 22, 2011 And 4-2 Yankees is the final in game one today.D*MN !!! Quote
cincyhokie Posted June 22, 2011 Report Posted June 22, 2011 Sadly, I am at the point where I want them to tank. What they are putting on the field right now is at best a .500 team and will give them 3rd place. A further slide (which I am rooting for) may get Walt to suck up his pride and make some changes that could propel this team in the standings.Here's for a sweep by the Yankees (hate admitting that).

BengalszoneBilly Posted June 23, 2011 Report Posted June 23, 2011 Heisey is carrying the load in game two. Three RBI's seems to be working well! Quote
BengalszoneBilly Posted June 23, 2011 Report Posted June 23, 2011 Heisey does it again! God I hope these bats stay hot. Quote
BengalszoneBilly Posted June 23, 2011 Report Posted June 23, 2011 The Reds really needed this win tonight with the 1st place Brewers losing. The Cardinals are trailing against Philly, so this could be a big boost! Quote
Stripes Posted June 23, 2011 Report Posted June 23, 2011 Well at least they didn't waste a dominant outing by Cueto. WIN CONSISTENTLY Quote
