    Houston at Cincy - 4/6/11

    Reds
    Stubbs CF
    Phillips 2B
    Votto 1B
    Rolen 3B
    Bruce RF
    Heisey LF
    Hernandez C
    Janish SS
    Edinson Volquez P

    Astros
    Nelson Figueroa P

    Looks like Dusty's talking up Heisey may have been real. Good to see him get another start. Though I think just about anybody can have success against Nelson Figueroa.
    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.

    Should be an easy win with the Astros only fielding 1 player.

    I meant to merge my thread into yours but it looks like the software had other plans, Rick. My bad.

    What an incredible defensive nine.

    The odds of us going 5-0 look pretty good right now. Sadly, I'll miss the first hour or so.

    I'm going to make the educated guess based on today's line-up that Cairo will start at third tomorrow and Renteria at short. I kind of wish they would have had one of Cairo/Renteria start today so we won't be much weaker at both positions tomorrow. LeCure will certainly need the defensive help.

    I would guess that Fransisco will start tomorrow at third, not Cairo. That is probably why we saw Cairo replace Phillips last night so he could get a couple of ABs in this series.

    I looked at the lineup for about 3 minutes and tried to find something to complain about. Finally came up with one:

    "Why the heck does Dusty have to post this awesome lineup so early?? How am I supposed to get any work done this afternoon when I have this lineup to look forward to? Unbelievable Dusty."

    Cards just lost to the Pirates, and are now 2-4.

    Yep, I think Dusty has pretty much appeased the masses here.

    Now watch the Reds lose 4-1.

    I'm putting the over/under that The Mayor says to "look" at something or uses the term "right there" at 60.

    He likes using those phrases lol.

    If he says look right there does it count for two?

    Ok. Any idea when the games will be in HD? It doesn't specify on the schedule.
