Another day, another brutal loss for the Cincinnati Reds. They just continue to pile up for a team that teases promise just enough to deliver disappointment. The 28-53 mark at the halfway point is the fewest wins for a Reds ball club since 1934. For those keeping track at home, that was a long time ago.
On Wednesday evening the Reds bullpen blew a 3-2 lead in the ninth inning needing just two more outs to secure the victory. Then, they gave up five runs in the top of the 10th which allowed the New York Mets to pull away and secure the series rubber match.
