[Red in Chicago]

per fay:

Reds vs. Padres:

Willy Taveras cf
Jerry Hairston Jr. 3b
Joey Votto 1b
Brandon Phillips 2b
Jay Bruce rf
Ramon Hernandez c
Laynce Nix lf
Alex Gonzalez ss
Aaron Harang p


vs. RH Kevin Correia

Two other notes:

--I saw Votto on my way in to Petco. He said he's not quite 100 percent but he was good enough to play.

--The starters for the Philly series are listed as Johnny Cueto, Micah Owings and Aaron Harang. Owings was before Cueto in the rotation. Looks like they'll flip-flop them to keep Cueto on his turn.

Wow, 55K from Aaron Harang for that field. That's awesome.

[Chip R]

Tavaras pops up to the catcher.

[OnBaseMachine]

Easy 1-2-3 first inning for Correia.

[Chip R]

Hairston lines to LF and Votto does the same to RF.

[VR]

Hoping Harang only goes 6 or 7 tonight, so he can pitch out of the bullpen Saturday and Sunday....

[OnBaseMachine]

Giles grounded out to Phillips on a 1-0 pitch.

Eckstein lined out to Hairston on 1-1.

[Chip R]

Hoping Harang only goes 6 or 7 tonight, so he can pitch out of the bullpen Saturday and Sunday....

Dusty, you're not supposed to be managing and posting at the same time.

[Reds Fanatic]

Gonzalez homers. His 5th straight game with a HR.

[OnBaseMachine]

Gonzalez homers. Jeez. Why even give him anything good to hit.

[Red in Chicago]

Gonzo (the wrong one) crushed that ball...sigh

[Chip R]

Aaron hung that baby

[OnBaseMachine]

Anyone else have a crappy feeling about this series? Looking at the pitching matchups, the Reds should win 2 of 3 but... I was confident the Reds were going to win the Arizona series but I don't feel very good about this series. Hope I'm wrong.

[Reds Fanatic]

Phillips singles to left but is thrown out at 2nd.

[VR]

Boy, Gonzos HR totals the last 3 years are nowhere near what he did coming up.....and in a pitchers park.

It's like he's gotten really strong the last few years.
