Choo is a great player, like I said earlier, he's definitely the most underrated player in baseball.

5 tool guy who has good power, a good batting eye and an absolute cannon from the OF.. He's also got speed on the base paths.

Somethings that he still needs to work on though is taking the right angles in the OF and being smarter on the base paths.

Cabrera has been a godsend, but give me Votto as team MVP

Man we suck.

It's ok, the Reds will join us later in the year like they always do.

By the way, when was the last winning season in Cincy?

I'm not so sure about that. In years past the Reds didn't have the pitching to win consistently. The staff was assembled with duct tape and glue, but now the Reds have a very solid pitching staff that from top to bottom is better than anybody else's in the NL central.

Sure, the Cardinals will probably win the division, but I think it is a mistake to discount the Reds.

Don't the Reds usually look good early though? All I know is they're good for some great 2nd half collapses.

We have the pitching this year to compete with the Cards, unlike years past.

The NL Central is very winnable. The Reds have shown they can hang with the Cards, and beat them often times.

Unlike past Reds' teams though, this team has the pitching to hang in. Give me that over great hitting any day. This team has also been clutch too, which can overcome some offensive deficiencies.

Cueto looks great lately too. He's been money for the last month or so. Over his past 26 innings, he's allowed only 6 ER and has 29 K's and 4 BB's over that time. That's flat out domination.

After consecutive strike outs, Cueto gives up a homer to Hafner scoring 2.

5-2

BP leads off the 7th with a double to "deep center," according to ESPN GameCast.

BTW with a win tonight, the Reds again move atop the Central standings with the Cards' loss earlier today.

BP went to third on a ground out by Votto. Rolen walked. Brucey drove in BP with a single and Rolen moved to 3rd.

6-2

Then Gomes grounded into a double play, stranding Rolen at third.

Quality work by Masset. Reds appear to be headed toward another W.

Danny Ray got the first 2, nice to see after struggling pretty bad the last time I saw him.
