Time for a recap of tonight’s titanic struggle….
FINAL
San Francisco 1
Cincinnati 0
WP: Romo (4-2)
LP: Arroyo (11-12)
S: Wilson (30)
BOX SCORE
POSITIVES
–Bronson Arroyo pitched a pretty strong game: 8 IP, 9 hits, 1 run, 5 K. Too bad he pitches for a team that couldn’t hit water if they fell out of a boat.
NEGATIVES
–TOS* Geez, two bleeping hits. Give me a break.
–Uh oh. Joey Votto left the game in the bottom of the first with what the Reds describe as “blurry vision.” This sounds suspiciously familiar to the problems Votto was having earlier in the year. We can only hope that it’s nothing, and Votto will be back very soon.
ETC.
–In his major league debut, Drew Stubbs had one of the Reds two hits, a bloop double down the right field line. Welcome to the Cincinnati, Drew! It’s technically the “big leagues”!
–Five losses in a row. Nineteen games under .500. Pittsburgh — and last place — are closing in on us.
–*This Offense Stinks.
–Sigh………………………………………………….
