I agree to that to some extent, but if this team doesn't hit, good pitching will be lost. Look at last year.

Nice outing by Cueto. Couple of bonehead running errors, but they keep winning. Well done.

If boneheaded base running mistakes are happening because they are being over-agressive, I can live with it. If they are getting picked off or thrown out for being lazy, I have a big problem with it.

Not paying attention-Phillips
Votto-didn't take the safe double for some foolish reason. Boneheaded play is a boneheaded play no matter how ya slice it. |

I think Votto was trying to make it to third thinking the throw was going through to the plate. That is one I can live with (early in the game). I admit, I didn't see Phillips' play as I was at dinner and didn't have the best view of the TV.

I think these last two games tells us a lot of this team. It's great to get to first place by winning a big series vs. the Cardinals. It's easy to get up for that series. I was curious as to how they would respond once in first place and playing a lackluster Milwaukee club. Two-game sweep says enough for me. It wasn't pretty, but at the end of the day it's two wins and they fought back in each game.

The next couple weeks will be huge for us. I know its still considered "early" in the season, but with series against the Braves, Indians, Pirates and Astros we can gain a couple more games on the Cardinals before we have to return to St. Louis following the Houston series.

Per Lance, Harang is pitching against a guy that has gotten 9 total runs in total for his starts. I hope that number isn't doubled with Harang pitching.

Right now I'm not sure what to say. Today could lead to the downfall of this team. I know its only 1 loss but wow, up 8-0. up 6 in the 9th, can lose. Speechless.
