It will be interesting to see what the Reds will put out there tonight with all their sickness. I saw a pretty cool article where Dusty said he was sick playing for LA Dodgers and Lasorda wouldn't let him go home and he was in uni laying on the training table. They came and got him in the 11th and he hit a game winning HR. He said he didn't even remember it. Love those classic old stories.

Heisey 8, Valdez 6, Votto 3, Phillips 4, Bruce 9, Frazier 5, Ludwick 7, Hanigan 2, Latos 1. vs. Lowe

Mike Piazza tells the story that when he was a rookie, he tweaked something trying to hit home runs in BP with Eric Davis and Darryl Strawberry. The trainer told him he'd better go talk to Tommy, so went into the office, told Lasorda what happened, and Lasorda said, "You know, Mike, you're important to us and we want you healthy for the long haul. You just tell me what you think is best."
Piazza said, "Well, to be honest, I really don't think I can play tonight."
"You CAN'T PLAY? What the F***? You telling me you CAN'T PLAY? J**** C*****! . . ."

Lefties are crushing Latos this year, with a line of .317/.379/.583/.962 (for his career, though, Latos has kept LHHers to a pedestrian .703 OPS). Still, this doesn't look like a real good matchup for Latos, especially given the Little League fence in right field.
And Valdez had a good game last night, but he has no business batting second. Lowe is going to mow him down tonight.

hopefully 2 nights in a row we can get those lefties out. Cueto hasn't been good against lefties this year either so maybe Latos can find some magic.

Family just came over, so sorry...I can't do PBP right now.
Re: 6/13/2012 Reds vs Native Americans Part II
Heisey K's
Valdez walks on four pitches
Votto grounds out weakly to 1st.
Re: 6/13/2012 Reds vs Native Americans Part II
Votto with the sacrifice. (Or at least that's what Verlander would argue) ;)
Re: 6/13/2012 Reds vs Native Americans Part II
BP single up the middle, Valdez scores.
1-0 Reds.
