If you're looking for some remorse for a bad performance, I love what Dunn said after the game, which was written on Marc's Blog.
Quote:
After most of the group had broken up, someone mentioned the sac fly in his first at-bat and he perked up a little bit.
"That was awesome," he said. "It could've been a great day..."

That says a lot about the attitude of the team after the game. It was opening day, the happiest day of the year for the Reds and the fans, but through all of the excitement he didn't say something like "What happened in the game was unfortunate, but it was great to be a part of opening day in Cincinnati." That is what I want to see after a game. He didn't care about his sac fly, or the celebrations goin on, all he cared about was his performance and the team's performance.
If you are looking for a positive out of this loss that would have to be it. That and you have to realize that it was only one game. Don't worry about it. This is exactly why I hate that the Reds play one game then have an off day. We all sit around and think about one game. Cheer up, there's still 161 left.
