Nix starting instead of Dickerson just doesn't make sense to me.
“I don’t care,” Votto said of passing his friend and former teammate. “He’s in the past. Bye-bye, Jay.”
LF is a problem.
Expect a Delay. Raining hard here in Broward County.

Tossing Nix a bone. He started on opening day, but not since. The guy's only gotten 5 ab's. He's hardly a detriment to the club, solid power, solid defense...hitting problems otherwise just like the other lf guys. And it's not exactly like the other LF candidates are tearing things up either.
Nix, Dickerson, Gomes.....like reds44 said, LF is a problem.
According to Fay Nix is starting based on history against Nolasco. I guess Nix is 2 for 5 against Noalsco and Gomes has struggled against him in the past.
From earlier today....
Cubs beat the Brewers 9-5 (Baker, Nady, Ramirez & Braun all went deep)
Cards beating the Astros 5-0 (Wandy lasted 4 surrendering 4, Wainwright coasting, Poo Holes #5)
I knew the Astros were going to be bad...but wow. 0-6 on a 6 game homestand. They've scored a total of 13 runs in almost 7 games now. And surrendered 42. I'd say the Pirates are safe from ending in the cellar.
Rain has gone.

MLB TV just did a nice piece on Leake while waiting for the rain.
Everyone sang his praises. Gammons said he should be a solid #3 starter. Magraine talked about how strong the Reds rotation is, and didn't even mention Harang.

And HD isn't coming in again. I can't stand SD.
Anybody else with the same problem?
Stubbs crushed that ball.
So far through two batter, it looks like Dusty stressed taking pitches. We'll see how it goes.

So I have MLB.TV for my computer and MLB AT BAT for my iphone. When I tried to listen to the game through my computer, it said I needed to pay $20 to be able to hear the game through my computer. You would think that if I paid for the right to hear it on my phone, and watch it on my computer, that hearing it on my computer should come with that. Really annoying.

A flyout and 2 ground outs to 2nd.
