    I can't recall a lineup (not saying that they don't exist) where SO MANY regular players were hitting below .240. It's pathetic. I'm not saying that Berry is totally at fault, but we need a shake up, and someone else couldn't do any worse

    Not to over simplify, this is a team with 2 position players playing at-or- above their expected ability---Lee and Pence. Hard to win any team sport win 22% of your offensive players are playing well and the rest......are not. Some guys have slumped and some guys are showing us that they are just not that good. Unless we get ANY other guys contributing, it really doesn't matter. At this point there aren't enough fingers on both hands to point to all the guilty parties.

    WOW the Reds actually won... again! That's the first 3 game "win streak" since the first week of April. (I live in Cincinnati)

    The National "Comedy" Central is truly sad isn't it.

    11 games is the franchise record. This team may do something truly special just yet.

    We also are the ONLY team in the NL Central with a winning record against either the east or the west. We're 3-2 against the NL East right now. Woohoo!

    OK, all that is needed is to change 2005 to 2007 and then change Pistons win to take series lead (assuming of course that the Pistons beat the Cavs tonight).

    I think we need individual player tombstones.

    Carlos Lee, Hunter Pence, Lance Berkman (gets a "Get out of tombstone free" card), and Roy Oswalt can be pallbearers for the funerals.

    You should never post when you're this high.
