Trent's blog refrenced Griffey as saying Josh Hamilton looks a like like Seth Rogen. The hilarious actro from 40 year old virgin adn Knocked up. Haha, fantastic!
Its going to be tough to hit Blanton. Hey at least he is right handed though.
Windy night

Hmmm, interesting dropping Dunn to 5th here is a bit odd.
When and how the Reds add to their five World Championships, nine pennants and nine division titles seems less important than the franchises' lineage, which traces a line back to the dawn of the professional game and their role as keeper of the historic flame they lit by birthing the Red Stockings in 1869.
Hatteberg grounds out to 1B on the 2nd pitch. 2 outs quickly
Blanton 1-2-3, not a good start there. Gotta come out throwing strikes here Lohse!

Whats up Rijo? Have to love the white shoes.
Griffey out to the SS. 1-2-3 on 6 pitches.

Interesting to see Hatteberg play against the A's here. Hatteberg was highly coveted by Beane when he went to Oakland. Well I guess Billy isn't watching this though. He is likely in the gym.
Ok, enough of my Moneyball talk.
let's go A's
I'm hoping for a repeat from the last time the Reds played in oaktown when we won 13 - 2, 10 - 6, and 17 - 8 in 2004.

Swisher gets a second pitch basehit to CF. Lohse looks easy to hit tonight.
