Games are won on run differential -- scoring more than your opponent. Runs are runs, scored or prevented they all count the same. Worry about scoring more and allowing fewer, not which positions contribute to which side of the equation or how "consistent" you are at your current level of performance.
Infield single from Votto to third...LaRoche's throw was wide. 1st & 2nd with 1 down for Rolen.
Yay, Joey starts another hit streak!

An MLB.com reporter asked what one thing Votto couldn’t do. “I can’t skate or play hockey,” Votto said. “Well, I can skate ... but I can’t stop.”
They've come awfully close. It's hard to complain though. 5 inning starts are just not helpful no matter how effective you are, so it's good to see Cueto being aggressive.Of course, it's pretty easy to throw a bunch of strikes when you don't have to be worried that the hitters will make you pay for it....
Rolen draws the walk to pack the bases. 1 down with Bruce up.
BRUUUUCE! Single to right. 2 runs score! 5-0 Reds!
Another pitching change. Karstens in to face Jonny-be-gomes
Will Cordero be allowed to enjoy his birthday in peace?
YAY!!!

I'm loving everything about this game tonight.
“I don’t care,” Votto said of passing his friend and former teammate. “He’s in the past. Bye-bye, Jay.”
Gomes K's swinging. 2 down for Ramon. 1st & 2nd.
Grounder to Cedeno. But its up to 5-0 now. 7th inning stretch. I'll be back...time to start the girls' baths.
7 pitch inning for Cueto. 82 for night. He should get thru 8 .....
