There was an article in the Enquirer (it may have been Fay's blog) that quoted Marshall as saying he believes he is less than three weeks away. Dusty was also quoted in that article as stating he believes Broxton will be ready when his time on the DL is done. Take that for whatever you think it might be worth. Masset was just experiencing a little shoulder soreness and has missed a year and a half so far.
Well, the Cubs and the ump just gift-wrapped a run for the Cards.

I have on many occasions told you, my Reds family, about marrying a Pittsburgh girl and the problems that has caused me (not with my lovely wife, but the in-laws). I think you're getting a taste this night. Dd to the fact that we get ROOTS Sports Pittsburgh here in addition to FSO. I couldn't resist turning over to the Pittsburgh station after the game and I heard the same thing over and over. Small ballpark, hitters ballpark, and cheap home runs. They roll out "expert" Kent Tukelve to tell us how the Pirates actually won and how Chapman is dangerous. Gawd, I hope so. Never mid that those Buccos played in the same place the Reds did and scored one run.
And yet,they have the force with them. They are pitching better than the Reds most days and hitting enough to win. With smoke and mirrors, but no matter, it's working so far. The Reds must take three out of four this series or my life will be Hell. Go Reds.

I've been hard on Mike Leake last season and early this year, but I gotta give him credit, he's been nothing short of spectacular the last couple months.
Jay Bruce is killing the ball. A 436 foot opposite field home run tonight? Impressive!

Usually, on the rare occasion that Bruce hits a ball opposite field, it's weakly hit. This was quite honestly the best, hardest-hit ball he's had in his career IMHO.
Doing that kind of thing is the only thing stopping him from being an MVP-caliber hitter. Well, that and making more contact.
