Last place again! Last place again!

 And now an entirely self-serving public service announcement, and no whining and bellyaching from the usual whiners and bellyachers.

"Oh, God, is this about your stupid Pirates again?" you're saying.

Hey! What did I just tell you?

Yes, it's about my Cruds, and it's exciting news: After much hard work and losing-ness, they've returned to their ancestral home in the NL Central cellar. It's been a tough struggle, but the lads have managed to put together a great stretch of Cruddy baseball to overtake the Reds, who got an unfair head start by losing 23 of their first 26 games.

Quite the challenge, but, hey, the Cruds were up to it. They've gone from third in the division to last with a seven-game losing streak; they've now lost 12 of their last 14 games, and, with an 8-2 loss to the Phillies yesterday coupled with the Reds 3-2 win over the Orioles, Cincy is now in fourth place, a half-game out of the cellar they've occupied all season.

So the Cruds have that goin' for them. All hail.
