I'm excited for this series, and really hoping the Reds flex their home field advantage power.

Flip flop DRob and Choo and I would kiss Votto right on the lips.


My cat.

Not Joey.

Leake has a monster night with a couple key hits and the reds hit a couple homers. Final score 7-3

I'm hoping for a 3-1 series. With no hit batters.

Odd -- it's sunny here in Northern Indiana and the radar doesn't show rain real close to the ball park

Looks like this game should be fine, as far as rain goes. Precipitation is off to the southwest and while it may eventually arrive, it shouldn't be before this game wraps up.

It's a downpour of biblical proportions, but they may get in the minimum.

Braves game also delayed. Lord, what a wet Spring it's been!

Pouring here in Ky. Looks slightly cloudy in Cincinnati, but I think we'll be fine tonight. Let's kick off this big series right!

Away we go

They're in St. Louis ;)

Anybody have a clue why Votto has taken catching balls from the foul side of the line sometimes?

looks to me like if he had stretched out for that ball he would not have had to catch it on the short hop
