Being a Reds fan

As a promotion, they should pass out Prozac to the first 20,000 fans in attendence. And put that suicide hotline number up on the scoreboard. Also, they may want to stick a few extra security guards in the bullpen.

At what point do we have the distinction of having the worst pen ever? Why did we allow ourselves to think that the roster moves were going to change anything? The Sausages are .5 games behind us, we're now 2 games above .500. How do you come back from a five run deficit in the ninth inning to tie, only to have your pen blow it in the 10th? Do the relievers have no souls?

Yes, some moves were made. Will it ever be enough? With the fourth and fifth starters we have, we're not going to survive much longer without a pen. Milton is up next, and he seems to have returned to 2005 form. If I don't wake up tomorrow and find out Joe Mays was DFA'd, well, I guess there's nothing I can do about it. Sigh...

Shout out to Redleg Nation for the emoticons.
