It's almost game time. I'll try to contribute what I can tonight. Feel free to join in.

[RedEye]

2 hits in the first, men on 2 and 3 with 1 out. Harang needs to clamp down now.

[RedEye]

Nice! Delgado K's... 2 out. Aaron has really been succeeding with that inside heat late in the count lately.

[RedEye]

This Mets line-up is a freakin' murder's row.

[RedEye]

Wright singles in 2. 2-0 Mets. Here we go again. I honestly don't think this team can run with the big dogs this year.

[RedEye]

Funny that I'm the only person in this game thread... again. Anybody home? Anyone? Maybe I should start making ridiculous claims to get you talkin'.

[rcb126]

I'm surprised they pitched to Wright with first base open.

[Reds Nd2]

David Wright singles to right field, goes to second on the throw home. Dunn might have had a play at the plate but his throw was up the line and wide.

Mets 2 Reds coming to bat.

[rcb126]

Freel wears Trachsel out.

[Reds Nd2]

This Mets line-up is a freakin' murder's row.

2006 Yankees have 111 HR's and the Mets have 128 HR's. Could the Mets the new Bronx Bombers?

[rcb126]

Yanks have had Matsui and Sheffield out of the lineup for the last couple of months. Otherwise they might have more.

[Reds Nd2]

Funny that I'm the only person in this game thread... again. Anybody home? Anyone? Maybe I should start making ridiculous claims to get you talkin'.

Do you really think that would improve the game thread at Reds Live? Build a quality game thread and people will come.

Inning by inning PBP. I'll try to copy and paste from Gameday after each complete inning for those who want a game thread with what happened during the game.
