The Reds had their asses handed to them to the tune of 0-11 this afternoon in Milwaukee.
Brandon Claussen took the mound and lasted a big fat three plus innings, during which he allowed nine runs (all earned) on eight hits. He walked three, and four of those runs were home runs, all in the fourth inning.
Chris Hammond took over in the fourth and gave up the fifth homer of the fourth inning before settling down to allow just one further hit in his two innings of work. Rick White held 'em hitless in the seventh. Kent Mercker allowed another run on two hits in the eighth. Brian “Caddy” Shackelford allowed zero on one hit in the ninth.
The offense just wasn't there. Even Felipe Lopez's newfound baserunning superstardom wasn't enough against the likes of Dave Bush.
And that's all I've got to say about that.
The loss brings the Reds' record to 11-7. Tomorrow they finish out the four-game series with the Brewers at 2:05 p.m. The Reds skip Eric Milton who is having some knee trouble and go straight to Aaron Harang to face off against Doug Davis.
You will call him Love Shack and you will like it, damn you.
What, you mean you wouldn’t like to see him referred to as Brian “Ram” Shackelford?
Although this won’t surprise you if you’ve visited my website, I vote for “Radio” Shack.
The bonus to this is that if anyone has any comments to the effect that we’re off our rockers for calling him that, we can cover our butts by saying it’s a reference to his fastball. Radio…you can hear it, but you can’t see it.

I would never encourage anyone to get a shorter one.
