Terrero's in the lineup, eh? Looks like EdE should get some practice with the hidden ball trick.

[CincyRedsFan30]

The Reds' pitching might throw some good games against this D-Backs lineup...

Of course you would have thought the same would have been the case against the Giants, and you saw how that turned out. The Reds are such an unpredictable team. They can look so good and then so bad at random times. The "luxuries" of having inconsistent and and a couple of cases not so talented pitching makes me feel like I'm on Top Thrill Dragster emotionally all over again.

[Geki Ace]

Are you both gonna be here for the game?

[CincyRedsFan30]

I'll be here for the beginning of it...then I'm going out to dinner and we're going to get a couple of more things/groceries I need for the room here, so I probably won't be back until near or a bit after the game when I leave here around 7:30 or 8.

[Slyder]

I should be here for a while.

[redsrbetter]

Lefty Hope! starts the game off well with two straight outs and a K of Clayton!

[redsrbetter]

1-2-3 baby! Good way to start this one off.

[Geki Ace]

Full count to Dunn, Junior on second after a double. Come on, Dunnsy. Bust out of the slump.

[Geki Ace]

Ugh, and Dunn strikes out looking on yet another pitch that was below the knees. He needs to start swinging at those, because he's not gonna get the right call.

[redsrbetter]

4-5-6 for Claussen. Untouched yet! Nicely done by the Lefty Hope!

[Geki Ace]

Casey with the leadoff walk, and he advances on a nubber by Kearns. Man on 2nd, 1 out, LaRue-EdE-Claussen coming up. LaRue has a 3-0 count on him right now.

[missionhockey21]

LaRue walks and nothing comes out from having two on with one out. Ugh.

[missionhockey21]

And a strikeout, popout, groundout means that Claussen has sit the lineup down in order.
