Maybe I am alone on this one but I did not realize the resume that Marvin Lewis has as a head coach and how it stacks up compared to the Bengals all time best.

Sam Wyche (64-68)

Paul Brown (55-59-1)

Marvin Lewis (42-39)

It is amazing to me that as bad as we all think we have it, we have a head coach who is third all time in Bengal wins as a head coach and is one of three who have a winning record, Forrest Gregg(34-27) and Bill Johnson(18-15) are the others.

The reds finally won again, after going on a 5 game losing skid.  That was a good baseball game, it got a little dicey at the end there, for a second I thought "Coco" was going to blow it but he came through.  My thoughts and prayers go out to Griffey as he greaves the loss of one of his best friends Frank King died today after battling cancer.  He was  originally going to be on the bench but he told Dusty that he wanted to play because that is what Frank would have wanted.  Griffey made a hell of a catch to rob Soriano of a homerun.  Overall a good game by the Reds hopefully they can get on some type of roll and get back into the central race, there is still plenty of time with around 130 games remaining.

I would be extremely happy if I never had to see Corey Paterson play another inning for the rest of my life.  How can a major league player drop a pop up as pathetically as he did?  That cost us one of the two runs that the braves wound up beating us by.  And who knows if Volquez only give up a solo shot maybe the Reds have a different mindset and are able to pull out the win, but no thanks to Corey looking like a smaller Adam Dunn in the outfield.  I know that Tim Hudson is a good pitcher but the Reds offense is absolutely terrible.  I don't know how many times it will take them to learn but they need to lay off of the first pitch.  It is amazing how many first pitch outs they produce, not only does it not give you as a hitter some time to adjust to the pitcher but you also make the pitcher work harder which in turn he does not last as long in the game, its pretty simple.

Well at least we keep go to bed tonight and know that the Reds didn't lose today.  After listening to Lance today, I think that I agree with him in that the management needs to make up their mind in regards to the makeup of this team.  We either need to blow it up and go young and let them take their lumps or make a few trades and try and turn this season around.  Does anyone else have thoughts?
