Reds 4 Pirates 2- Fogg, Milton, and Mesa

So lemme see if I can get this straight (since again, no TV last night). We scored one run off of Eric Milton last night. That's all we got? One run off of Eric freaking Milton? Meanwhile a group of pitchers including the illustrious Josh Fogg, the recently hittable John Grabow, and the flat out terrible Rick White shut out the Reds for 8 innings, only to let Jose Mesa blow the save with 2 outs and 2 strikes in the ninth, then go on the in tenth to give up 3 runs, including a play where he continued to pitch after a balk, a bases loaded beaning, a sac fly, and a hit? Sheesh, I would say that we keep finding new ways to lose but this one can get lumped into the "we lost because we think Jose Mesa is still a major league player, and if you think this is bad, wait 'till we bring him back next year" category.
