Too bad we can't put one of other catchers on the 40 man. I have no idea who I would take off for Denove or Castillo but it seems awful risky to play the weekend with only Corky. Carlos Fisher seems like a safe bet to pass through.
Fay thinks that Hanigan will be in Philly soon with Ramon going on the DL retroactive to sometime around the Cubs game when he hurt his knee. I guess we'll find out soon if that happens or not but he also said Hanigan left the game early last night due to neck stiffness. What a way to go into the All Star break.

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.”
Time to lock up Corky with a Long Term contract!

I guess the neck thing was not a big deal. That's a good thing and welcome back Ryan!

Opposite field single from Votto. Phillips goes to 3rd. Runners on the corner 1 out. Gomes up.
With Phillips running, and Rollins covering 2nd, Votto slaps a single into the hole the other way. Phillips to 3rd.
Then Gomes HRs to left-center.
