pathetic

The Reds have scored nine runs during their 5-game losing streak, and you'd like to think they could blame their lack of offense in part on tough pitchers they've faced. Not exactly. Aside from Aaron Cook, who's having a nice year, here's who's shut them down ...

Jorge De La Rosa - entered 4-5, 6.50+ ERA - allowed one run on two hits through 6 2/3

Ubaldo Jimenez - entered 6-9 - held Reds scoreless through 6 innings

Roy Oswalt - entered 7-8, 4.50+ ERA - good enough, allowing four runs in 5 innings before Astros' bullpen allowed just one hit the rest of the way (and since Oswalt's 20-1 against us in his career, why should we think we could beat him even when he's having a subpar year, right?)

Former Red Brian Moehler - was one out away from his first complete game since 2000 (and probably should've gotten it ... Cecil Cooper panicked and yanked him)

It is over. It was over in April, but its truly over now. Maybe the year-end video will be called STRIKING DISTANCE: THE QUEST FOR .500 GLORY – I want to smack some sense into this team.
