this team has been very inconsistent. some times they look like they could contend for a world championship and other times it looks like they could only compete with the rockies for the worst record in baseball.

i know that it's early and i hope they can find some sort of rhythm as the season progresses. at the same time i have to wonder if the way that miley switches up the lineup card on a daily basis is hindering the teams ability to find that consistency.

Have you seen the pitchers the Reds have played against so far this season?

yeah, we beat martinez, we beat glavine, we should've beat clemons, we beat pettite, we beat kerry wood, prior and oswalt owned us, we beat oliver perez who owned us last year. (what am i missing?)

just wanted to throw it out there for discussion that chemistry applies in baseball as well as football. our defense is pretty good so far (with the exception of dunn and willy mo) but our offense is inconsistent. casey, griffey, and dunn getting off to slow starts doesn't help. i wonder if the regular changes in the lineup are somehow directey related to the slow offensive start. they may or may not be.

We have a winning record and its still April... anything can happen. Im happy with the start, hitters are coming around.
