Figueroa has a 3.55 ERA in his career against the Reds. That's gonna go up.

I think so. Have no plans so will probably head down. My goal for this year was to make it to 21 games and this would already be my 4th. I'm guessing 40 isn't out of range right now, Haha.

But...the Penis has to stay home.

The way they are playing I may try to get to a few more games this year. At least one Diamond Club outing I'm hoping.

Yeah, we've got a 20 game season ticket package and I've already been to 3 that weren't part of our 20 games. My goal is 41 games.

I haven't done Diamond Seats since '08 but mom wants to come down for a weekend this year and get them again. Hopefully she's paying. :)

Let me know when your mom is going. I would like to see another game so I can try out that new nacho bar thing.

It's been a few years for us too. We did it 3 maybe 4 years in a row then 2 years straight the Reds were out of town on July 4th. (This was the day we always went). Then they started becoming well, the Reds and we pretty much stopped going to any games. Last year was the first time I've been to a game in years. I'd have to do a weekend game since I work until Midnight.

This year I'm thinking about taking my Daughter and Son-In-Law to a Diamond Club game with us. They've both sat there before so it will be nothing new to them, but a fun time for us none the less.

Wont be doing it this week...but I presume that Business Man Special's are pretty easy to score good tix with good prices? Or to move way down?

Where is the best place to find a scalper, oh, I mean an independant Ticket Consultant at the stadium named after BIll CUnningham?

They better be removing Volquez after 3 innings today. Don't want him getting injured.

Astros looked baaaad last night. This team will be as bad as I thought they were going to be.

The SS appears to be a decent hitter, but he was awful in the field. I know the one he muffed was probably going to be a hit anyways, but it is very rare that you see a MLB SS completely miss the ball with his glove. Then the turn of the double play ball (or lack thereof) cost them a run earlier in the game as well.

Well hell, we all expected that. You cannot stop Bill Hall, you can only hope to contain him.

I always thought it was a good idea that MLB does that for the breast cancer awareness, but I think that the need to do something for men and their health issues like play a game with blue balls or something.

I think they do have a blue theme for fathers day when they collect funds for prostate cancer research.

Tonight is Pancreatic cancer awareness night. buy tickets at the door not from a scalper, guarantee there is some money going to help research cures for this.
