UDF's magical concoction of peanut butter ice cream, peanut butter cups and fudge. It resulted in the first run of the night for what it's worth. :)

Come on, Bronson!

Great pick by Votto on the ground out to Frazier.

I thought Scott Rolen retired?!? WOW by Frazier. And a great pick by Votto.

Even if it ends up being the only strike you see in the ab.

Yes, we could do a better job...but just look at Votto's swing there....Lynn's got excellent stuff there. You don't see swings like that from joey very often. Give credit where credit's due.

You are giving him way too much credit, he's not doing anything different than everyone else goes out there and does we just kept helping him out by putting ourselves in terrible hitters counts and then fishing.

When we worked the count that inning and got back to 3-2 counts it limited his options and we picked up a couple of hits on the two predictable FBs. When Bruce got up he took and missed then went back fishing to strike out, keep him in the zone and swing at them he's very hittable.

What a pick by Votto...he almost did the splits there and had to judge that bounce perfectly.

Votto looks visibly frustrated with himself at the plate though. Hopefully he can break out of whatever funk he's in.

It might be my imagination, but it seems like he has absolutely owned them the past few years. Keep booing him I say!

You seem like a nice guy, and all that, but I really can't concentrate on anything you write as long as your avatar stays that way.

Carpenter flies out to center.

Holliday fouls out to Votto. 1-0 Reds after 4.

So far, so good...

Very nice defensive inning from Joey there.

she's looking straight into my soul.


I'm sure the three of us will be very happy.

Bronson is looking very good, I just hope he doesn't hang on in this low scoring game.
