We drop another series

Well, that's going to have the boo birds going. Of course, Danny Graves says real Reds fans don't boo him. That's just too bad. His ERA is over 7, and that understates how bad he is, since he's also been allowing runs on other guy's tabs over the past few weeks.

I saw on Reds Reporter that opponents are batting over .400 against him in May, and well over .300 for the season. Hitting a baseball is supposed to be hard (also from Reds Reporter)....apparently not when Graves is on the mound.

It just can't go on. If nothing else, let Mercker close and put Danny in a mop up role. But you can't keep this up.

So, we fail to win our eleventh straight series, eight of which we have lost. We're hitting a decent part of the schedule here, Nats, Bucs, Astros, Rockies and Devil Rays, in that order for 17 games. Let's at least hope we can be 9-8 for that period. Because after that we to Baltimore, Boston, Braves, Cardinals, which is not likely to be pretty.

To say the season has been highly disappointing would be an understatement, but its a start. The team is heading down the track at 80 MPH....but on the wrong track.
