Anger

I am so pissed off right now, I don't even know where to begin to focus my anger.

David Weathers has now blown four saves. Can we please, please, please not bring him in for 1-run save situations anymore? Can we end this horrific "Closer by Committee" nonsense now? "Where was Java" you ask? Java pitched a meaningless inning while the Reds were ahead last night, and was therefore unavailable today. Great.
Brandon Phillips, the defensive wunderkind... yeah. First the dropped ball on Valentin's throw to second, and then the boot of the DP ball that resulted in only one out.
Felipe. Holy ****, man, that was not the time for a throwing error.

THREE!!! THREE!!! defensive miscues in the bottom of the 10th.

I try to censor my language when I am in front of my grandmother... Not tonight, folks, not tonight. How big would this win have been!? HUGE! Nope, we had to throw Weathers out there for not only the 9th, but the 10th as well, after he had already blown the save. Is there no one else in the 'pen who Jerry Narron trusts? (If not then, um, we've got a serious problem.)

On the positive, snarky side of things, I'm guessing Weathers will be unavailable tomorrow because he pitched two innings. Well, technically 1 2/3 BECAUSE THERE WAS NO THIRD OUT.

Ugh.

Griffey hits a grand slam and we still can't pull out the win? What a great comeback... all for naught thanks to shoddy defense and crappy pitching.
And speaking of crappy pitching... what did I say earlier today? I said that Eric Milton probably needed a rehab start. Looks like Ashlee was correct.

Ugh.

That's it, I'm done for tonight.
...
I'm not being sarcastic when I say that my mood just brightened a tad when I was looking ahead to tomorrow's game. Aaron Harang on the mound? Ok, bring it on. There's nothing we can do about tonight, let's go out there and win tomorrow.

Go Reds.
