ZACH DUKE WILL FACE MIKE LEAKE ON FRIDAY. KEEP THE SH#%TER JOKES AT A MINIMUM.

Perhaps Thom Brennaman was predicting the future when he was caught announcing his disapproval during Monday's game against the Marlins. On Friday, the Reds will play the Pittsburgh Pirates at 7:05pm, with the starting pitchers being Duke and Leake.

After dramatically winning the first two games against the Marlins in extra-innings, the Reds went on to drop the final two games of the series, splitting it with the Fish.

Homer Bailey started for the Reds on Wednesday and appeared to be more of a thrower, instead of the pitcher we expected to see this season. Overthrowing his fastball and locating pitches spastically, Bailey went 5 1/3 innings allowing five runs on eight hits. The Reds lost to the Marlins on Wednesday 5-3.

In dire need of a long outing from one of their starters, the Reds relied on Aaron Harang to get it done on Thursday. Harang was unable to answer the call and had his worst start of the season. Harang went only four innings, allowed eight earned runs on eight hits, and depleted the Reds' bullpen. Jonny Gomes and Chris Dickerson each had a pair of hits with the rest of the lineup only producing three more. The Reds lost to the Marlins Friday by a final score of 10-2.

The Reds starting rotation is becoming a massive concern considering it was their projected strength prior to the season. The Reds' offense has generally lived up to it's low expectations so far (all Reds hitters are batting below .300), but the rotation was supposed to keep the team in games. The Reds starting rotation is still without a win going into Friday's game. A headline involving bathroom circumstances is violently appropriate.

Speaking of excrement, Chris Sabo's Goggles gives you yet another reason to hate the Marlins while Whack Reds gives you another reason to hate Creed.
