Reds vs. Cards (Defining Series Opener!)

[Reds_fan_4_life]

via Espn- " Majewski pitched in the World Baseball Classic in March, replacing Mets closer Billy Wagner on the U.S. roster. He said Monday that he has taken anti-inflammatory drugs since early in the season and received a cortisone shot before the All-Star break.

"It's been bothering me for a while, after the World Baseball Classic," Majewski said Monday. "I tried to fire it up too quick."

General manager Wayne Krivsky said that Majewski didn't tell the team that his shoulder was bothering him all along.

"That's the first I've heard about it," Krivsky said.

Asked if the Nationals told him about the cortisone shot and the anti-inflammatory drugs Majewski was taking before the trade, Krivsky said, "I'm not going to comment on any of that stuff."

The Reds were waiting for the results of a medical test to determine the extent of Majewski's shoulder problems, which prompted them to make their fourth bullpen-centered trade in the last four weeks."

Way to start off my 4 run inning call Freel!

[redsrbetter]

I will take a Dunn beaning with an 0-2 count!

Come on Griffey!

If the MRI comes up bad for Majewski we could possibly send him back to washington for one of our players back or a whole new player... so ** cross fingers*

Awful AB by Griffey there. He swung at a set-up pitch.

[missionhockey21]

We are just making this SO easy for Weaver. It's sad, it really is.

[CincyRedsFan30]

Terrible AB, Edwin.

[redsrbetter]

Griffey, you bum! You must crush Weaver!

Have you heard anything official on this even being a possibility?

[Mr. D™]

The signs about the rotation have been there for some time. Apparently our management didn't notice.

The crowd is very quiet now, btw. I wonder how many have already left?

Man I wouldn't leave till the last out no matter how badly we are losing

[CincyRedsFan30]

1 ER in 5 IP for Weaver. He is looking good. A clutch performance indeed.

if so I would take Kearns back

[redsrbetter]

I quit worrying about this game now. WOW!

[CincyRedsFan30]

You know, the one positive about this game is that it only counts as one loss. If there were varying, assigned degrees of losses that caused more losses in the L column, this one would be beyond ugly.

It's not exactly as if he has been dominating (a fine start, don't get me wrong) but more that we have been incredibly impatient and idiotic at the plate.
