Phillies @ Reds - Wednesday - 08/31/2011

Joey Votto, brandishing his massive club, strides plateward.

Rick Sweet managing his 1,000th game for Louisville.

Strike 'em out, throw 'em out.

Base knock by Bruce.

Fizzle in the fourth 1 zip Philadelphia.

Depressing stat of the day: So far in the series, Hamels, Halladay and Lee have put up these combined stats.

The only run actually came courtesy of a Hunter Pence imitation of Yonder Alonso playing the outfield which resulted in a triple for Brandon Phillips.

Janish is 0-23 coming to the plate and quickly dropping down to the Mendoza line. Okay, you can swing the bat. Dumb.

He has three -- count them three sac bunts this year ---

Willis is rolling.

No, you can't. :)

Stubbs with an infield hit. Run, Drew, run.

Razor hits into a strange double play. 6-4-2-4. Grounder to short and they force Stubbs. The throw to first is airmailed. Hernandez lumbers toward second. The catcher backing up the play at first guns him down.

What a well managed and coached team!

Janish is now 0-25.
