Reds 14 Pirates 7

I was in the car for most of our comeback last night (which was as good of a place as any to be since there was TV). Right as I pulled in to Pittsburgh we had tied the game at 7 and I thought to myself "The Reds owe us this one. We blew a 6-0 first inning lead to them in May and they're going to do the same for us. Plus, Bay already has two big hits tonight and that bastard owes me a third one. This one is in the bank." I proceeded to head to the South Side and saw nothing of the game (since all Pittsburgh bars were focusing on the Steelers) until the news came on the TV after the Steelers were done. Imagine my surprise to see that we lost by the same margin that they did, that David Ross continued to kill us in his "Abraham Nunez 2005" year, and that Britt Rheames was the only reliever not to give up a run. I don't even want to know the particular details of this one. The final score is bad enough.
