Sorry, I’m not going to pick through the smoldering debris of yet another close loss to the Cardinals. Leake great. Votto two hits. Chapman MIA (for the series). Skip Schumaker makes final out with Votto on deck because Schumaker was the leadoff hitter.
The name we give to these game recaps at Redleg Nation – Titanic Struggle – was lifted from an expression used by Reds announcer Marty Brennaman.
It has always implied a delicious double meaning, both of which have their roots in history. In ancient Greek storytelling, Olympian gods fought the powerful Titans in a righteous battle for order over chaos.
