Subject: Reds @ Cardinals

A visit to the team with the worst record in the N.L. was naturally the catalyst for yet another reminder that nobody -- BUT NOBODY -- chokes like the Reds.  And nobody does it in more dramatic fashion either....
 
 
Game 1: Despite solid advantages in hits & baserunners (Cincy outhit the Cards in every game, FWTW), the Reds struggled mightily with the Cardinals in what turned out to be a dire warning of things to come.  Cincy amassed 12 baserunners in 5 innings against their old teammate Chris Holt, but were only able to plate 4 of them and got nothing at all against the SLN pen.  Fortunately the damage to Holt was sufficient to barely eke out a 4-3 win as CIN starter Albie Lopez ran his record to 6-0 while Scott Sullivan, just returned from the minors, earned a hold and Scott Williamson notched his 8th save. 
 
That duo of relievers would not fare nearly so well in the upcoming contests.
 
================================================================================
 
Game 2: Rob Bell's first career start was a disaster, and start #2 was scarcely an improvement as home plate ump HAL squeezed him hard as he does all Cincinnati pitchers, 8 free passes and 4 runs in 6 IP being the result.  Although outplaying the Cards aside from the walk column, the Reds trailed 6-1 after 7 frames.  Todd Walker slugged his inaugural Cincy homer in the 8th to cut the deficit to 6-3, then in the 9th the Reds were finally rewarded with a 5-run rally and took an 8-6 lead.
 
Unfortunately that was not enough, as Williamson, with the Cards (aided by an error) down to what should have been their final out in the bottom of the 9th, choked up a game-ending GRAND SLAM to sub-.200 hitter Scott Spiezio.  Final score: 10-7, with St. Louis racking up those 10 runs on just 7 timely hits.
 
================================================================================
 
Game 3: SLN batting practice machine Jose Lima of course saved his best start of the year (6.1 IP, 2 runs) for the Reds but Dave Burba, who's been just about as lousy as Lima, also had his best start of the year (7.2 IP, 1 run) and took a 3-0 lead into the bottom of the 8th.  Burba permitted a run before being yanked, but the Reds offset that in the 9th to go up 4-1. 
 
Unfortunately that was not enough, as Sullivan, with the Cards down their final out in the bottom of the 9th, choked up a game-ending GRAND SLAM, Jim Edmonds' second gopher in the final 2 innings.  Final score: 6-4.  The 4 Cincy runs each scored via homers, obviously all of the solo variety, as the Reds put up a typical 0 hits with RISP and erased a couple of extra baserunners with timely GIDPs.
