What sucks is this will give Lindner the excuse to cut payroll. It's like they aren't even trying..... Paul Wilson is your ace and you go out and sign fucking Milton to a contract where you could have gotten a real pitcher? Fuck Wilson and Milton they will never be worth what they are paying them. The best off season move was trading for Ortiz (whom I truly like) and he was on the DL.
The biggest problem though is noone is hitting and that kills a pitching staff because they feel they have to overcompensate and in turn make too many mistakes.
Get rid of Graves, he's never been the same since that abysmal try at starting, put Wagner in as your closer, trade Pena or Kearns for a true SP and just let Claussen, Harang and Hdson if he comes back lead the staff.
The saddest thing is top to bottom the REDS have a tremendous lineup and great young pitching but they lack a good manager and discipline. Cut down on the strikeouts, get the guys hitting and play baseball, stop pussy footing around.
It's still early and hopefully, the players pull out of their slump and they all start hitting like they are capable of. I have faith they can comeback and make a run at it, they just need to get their shit together and get some leadership on that team.

My response is, "I like to put forks in an eletrical socket, just LOVE that feeling, can't ever get enough of it, so will you let me put this copper fork in that electric socket?"
