Can’t Stand It

April 28, 2009

You know it’s bad when I’ve run out of funny things to say about the Reds’ offense.  In April.

Wait a minute!  I just thought of one!

Tonight it wasn’t just the piss-poor _______, it was also a piss-poor outing by Aaron Harang that spelled certain doom for the Reds.

Do you see what I did there?

_______ = Cincinnati Reds Offense

You see, the Reds’ offense is non-existent.  It’s not there!  Nowhere to be found.

Man, I don’t know where all the funny comes from, but if my Dad read Chris Sabo’s Goggles, he’d be so proud of me.

To make matters worse, Joey Votto couldn’t get a hit (the bum) but Brandon Phillips could get two (including a homer).  Phillips even had a stolen base, but I heard he loafed it all the way there.

Edwin Encarnacion thankfully has something wrong with his wrist, so he heads to the DL while Triple-A stud Adam Rosales comes up to take his place.  Rumor has it that Rosales’ goal is to have one hit a week, which instantly makes him an upgrade over Encarnacion.

I hope you all enjoyed the Reds temporary stay above the .500 mark, because it’s over.  If the _______ continues to produce the same numbers (read: none), don’t expect to return to the Land Above .500 any time soon.

    The RH side of the plate is horrible .. and that is too kind. Rosales has a hot bat, so I hope he can play third; Does he? Can he? Even if so, he’s only one bat, which does nothing for the LF dilemma.

    He may be one bat, but he already proved the difference maker in his one game started.
