I probably won't be awake when this starts, so might as well get it rolling.

Mesoraco finally starts. Have a feeling Paul gets the start after the salami tonight.

How about Heisey starts Sat vs the lefty, and Paul starts in the battle of the aces?

Probably true. Although, could be Bruce sitting. Who knows with Dusty. It's so early, just play your ideal lineup (sans the C).

This Detwiler guy sounds like a bum. Votto hits 4 bombs and the Reds lose 6-4.

Same lineup as the last 3 games except with Meso in.

Here's how this will go down. Reds will lead 4-1 in the 5th, Azu will come in again and say "Game over. Leake just needs one more inning then bullpen will have this shit on lockdown." Leake will then give up 4 in the 6th and Nats will add one late on a solo shot to win 6-4.

Leake will face a pissed off WS contender and will give up 6 in 4 1/3 innings and Reds talk will implode on Leake.

Leake survives the 2nd with still a shutout, but he had to use up the pitcher's AB for an out to do it. Will have to start at the top in the 3rd. Good work by Choo on the ball off the wall with runner on 1st and two out to assure the runner doesn't score the first run of the game.

Heisey about hit into the 6-4-3 dp but legs it out. Not sure why he wasn't bunting though with runners on 1st and 2nd and no outs.

Frazier bails Bruce out with an RBI and himself in scoring position.

He only gets hits with the bases empty.

Its sad that I felt much more confident with Frazier up there than Bruce. Can't believe how bad Bruce has been with RISP this year.

Choo with a lead off HBP. Would be nice to get a couple runs here.

Super slo-mo clearly showed that pitch catching Choo's sleeve. Now in business with the first two reaching. Let's see how the middle of the order performs. A good job would mean the lead.
