Dave Williams = Death
Down 6-0 after the first inning.
Jesus.
<EDIT>
Yeah, Dave Williams = Death, but the offensive capabilities of this team = Life.
Jason LaRue had four hits - a career high - and raised his batting average nearly 60 points. (That's a good fantasy day right there.)
Ryan Freel, hitting in the eight spot, had two RBI singles.
Junior had a 2-6 day, and batted in the two critical go-ahead runs in the 7th.
Dunner was up twice with the bases loaded - struck out once, and GIDP the other time. Of course, he was up in the 6th with no runners on, and hit a double to center field. Does this bother anyone else?
Kearns hit a solo shot, and Felipe Lopez extended his hitting streak to 12 games.
For the first time since 2003, the Reds overcame a six-run deficit to end up winning the game, and the Reds are now 6-0 on Thursdays this season. And, of course, they have the next two Thursdays off, dammit. ;)
As for the Pittsburgh newspapers that were lambasting Bronson Arroyo for his comments about Pittsburgh's current lineup... ::shrug:: Guys, I know what it's like to be a fan of the team that everyone else thinks they should easily beat. His comments stemmed from the fact that #1: We did take 3 of 4 from the Pirates in April. #2: He was looking to help stop a multi-game skid, and he was unable to do so, really no matter against whom. #3: The Pirates are 13-28. (12-27 at the time of his start.) Criticize all you like, you're still 13 games behind the Cardinals. Oh, not to mention that today you allowed a struggling Reds offense to come back from the grave.
Well, with a season-high 16 hits, I guess "struggling offense" no longer is an accurate descriptor.
We shall see...
