It was depressing to lose and we all are pissed at RR for his management of the bullpen. However, the bigger story here is our anemic offense. It hurts not having Braun but the bigger issue is Ramirez' slump here. He needs a couple of days off but I suppose without Braun RR is loathe to do that. If your cleanup hitter can't get a ball out of the infield and hits into double plays every other at bat you have a big problem scoring runs against ANYBODY. The only silver lining about yesterday is both the Cards and the Reds lost so they didn't gain any ground on us while we flailed away at the plate yet again.
