5-4 DP by Gonzo.
Rob Neyer: "Any writer who says he'd be a better manager than the worst manager is either 1) lying (i.e. 'using poetic license') or 2) patently delusional. Which isn't to say managers don't do stupid things that you or I wouldn't."
And that opportunity falls apart with the tailor-made DP. Bah!

Junior is not that old. He gets tomorrow off.
He should be in right and Valentin should be coming up next with Ross last instead of the next two outs/hitters being Ross/Hopper. Ross might surprise us though with a HR, but Hopper probably won't get the ball out of the infield.

Haren has a 110 pitch count and usually doesn't get past the 7th. If Belisle can keep us in this game, maybe we can win it late.

Easy inning for Belisle, just 11 pitches. Kept Phillips busy though.

Nice patience by the REDS at the plate so far. Haren already up to 38 pitches. Keep making him work.

And with that hit, Ross gets his BA back to the Mendoza line.
Ross singles to left.
Narron trying to remove the 2-Hopper from a possibility. Good move Jerry.

I'll take an error by the A's here to get this run in.
Holes in the gloves....c'mon.
