Jon Lieber is not that good


The same Jon Lieber who came in today at 2-4 with a 6.60 ERA stormed into Cincy and nearly threw a perfect game. Maybe Hamels' performance yesterday wasn't so great after all.
The Reds came up one after another and did one of 3 things: struck out, grounded out or popped out. It wasn't until Adam Dunn, of all people, slapped one up the middle in the 7th that the Reds but a dent in 7.6-million's line.
Note that Dave Williams also threw a gem for the Reds, but Quinton McCracken's gaffe (read: dropped fly ball my 3-legged dog could have caught) in the other end of the 7th put an end to that.
Grifffey started some 9th-inning noise, but Dunn did what he does best with two outs in the ninth -- he struck out.
And that sorta put an end to that.
