I like tonight. Mainly because I think Wolf blows, even though we tend to be his favorite.

10-3 Reds

Reds should win this game. Until Bailey gives me reason to doubt him I expect the Reds to win every one of his starts from here on out.

I am thinking of heading down tonight for the game. I haven't been down in a while and if I don't go my wife will have a list of crap for me to do around the house.

What you need to do is counter her list with one of your own.

1. Buy beer.
2. Turn on game.
3. Drink beer while watching game.
4. ????
5. PROFIT!

Far better than a chore list.

Dusty being a touch cute with Bruce at the top......but it worked once versus a lefty.....so no complaints regardless of what happens tonight.

Good sign, Bruce going to left field, and it jumps over the fence for a HR.

Looked like a crooked number inning when the ball left Joey's bat, but Rolen's 5-4-3 DP ball ended the inning at just 1-0 Reds.

Bad camera work on the live play at 2nd on the RBI hit by McGehee. How far off line was Bruce's throw, and was Janish too far toward the OF?

Cain can really move. Looked like he was safe due to a 0.1 sec bobble by Janish. The Homer with a key DP!

Bailey gets out of a 1st & 3rd and no out situation w/o allowing a run

Tied 1 - 1

Brewers have 3 Stolen Bases this inning alone (including the pitcher) ... Bailey not even holding the runners on

Then Bailey picks off Braun at 2nd Lmao

Good AB by Bruce that finally ends up with a hit in the 3.5 hole for two on and no out after Homer drawing the walk.

Bruce, can you not see the throw coming to 2B? Go back to 1B when you see it going to 2B! Gomes did that stupidity in a game earlier!

Do you think Wolf would have pitched around Votto if Bruce was still on 1st?

Whole different inning if Valaika would have gotten that one strike bunt down a yard to the right of where it went foul!

No, but you don't let the other team take the bat out of your best hitters hand
