I think I just lost a year off my life, Reds Win!!!

This game was looked at by many as a must win for the Reds after the two embarassing losses.  Homer looked like he had his good stuff and the Reds jumped out to a 10-1 lead.  Than Bailey gave up two runs in the fifth and two more in the sixth.  But with a five run lead the Reds still looked to be in good shape, especially with the way the bullpen has been pitching.  Than the wheels fell off, two of our best relievers Ondrusek and Rhodes each gave up 3 runs to let the Giants tie the game.  With the Reds down by 1 in the ninth Paul Janish once again showed why he should have been the shortstop all along by singling in the tying run.  That was the last score until Joey “I better win the MVP” Votto singled in the go ahead run with two outs in the top of the 12th innning.  Cordero came in for his second inning of work and as he usually does he made things very interesting.  Sandoval opened with a single, Uribe flied out, Cody Ross struck out, Fontenot singles off Cordero to put Sandoval at third.  Previous to Fontenot’s hit he popped a foul ball along the third base side which glanced off Rolens’ glove for what would have been the third out.  It looked like that play could have doomed the Reds until Cordero finally gets Andres Torres to ground out to Miguel Cairo.  Reds Win!!!

 

A Deal the Reds need to make happen

Over at redreporter.com is an interesting bit of trade rumors involving the Reds making a trade for Maicer Izturis.  He would definitely be an upgrade in the offensive department at SS and he is a swith hitter.  Now if the Reds can only somehow package Cordero’s contract in the deal the Reds could really help themselves.  I would have no problem letting Cordero go as well as Jared Burton, but I would hesitate a bit at trading Daniel Ray Herrera since he was one of our most consistent middle relief pitchers and doesn’t have a huge contract.  Lets see what happens.
