Look at that roster. What do you see? A team exactly where it belongs. </em> Your best hitters should be batting 1-4. Putting Patterson and Phillips at 1 and 4, respectively, cost them some runs this year for sure. Patterson as a 5th OFer...maybe that's OK. I would imagine Aaron Harang would have wished for better run support. In fact, if he had Volquez's run support, the team would have a much better record...Volquez would have ended up with the same record, and Harang's would have been above .500.

No one. It's not unusual for a team to have 100 different lineups. Considering the Reds' injuries and inconsistency, why should you expect the same lineup? Do you know who's banged up, who needs a rest, who hits whom, or who doesn't? In the big picture, when you are a bad team, does it really matter? Is moving Phillips out of cleanup going to magically get this group into a race by which their talent was never matched? The daily harping of way too many Reds fans about the lineup is absurd.

Is Corey Patterson seeing her?...why should that even be talked about. Ned Yost bats Rickie Weeks leadoff the whole year when he puts up Corey Patterson numbers it makes me wonder if people are trying to start rumors about his daughter in Wisconsin.

Yes, he's a key player, but that kind of stuff isn't acceptable. And that ball was mashed by Braun. 6-3 Reds. It looks like Fielder wanted to get that AB over quickly with so he could get back to dropping some bows in the dugout. I’m honestly shocked that Yost let Fielder back on the field.
