Justin Lehr goes the distance; Reds End Streak

So wow, the reds finally ended the eight game losing streak. Who would of guessed that 32 year old Justin Lehr would help the reds end that losing streak? Nobody! Anyways, let's hope this gives this club hope. We all know the reds aren't going to save the season by any means, but they all can be proud players and play hard from now until the end of the season. On the other note, here's some topics from around the internet i've gathered up.

• Evan Brunell at the Hardball Times defends the rationale behind the widely-panned Scott Rolen trade.
• Despite the Reds' abysmal play as of late, team CEO Bob Castellini has given manager Dusty Baker a vote of confidence for this year and next, says John Fay at the Cincinnati Enquirer.
• Reds GM Walt Jocketty says that the team is getting closer to a deal with their first-round pick, RHP Mike Leake. It's been said that Leake's signing should set off a domino effect for the college pitchers drafted behind him.
• Reds pick up a leader in Rolen...good article on rolen here.
