Slow on my end, too. I don't know if it's due to high traffic or what it is...
Though it doesn't appear as if the Reds will be able to win this (certainly not over, but only one crack left), Mike Leake certainly has done his part keeping them in striking distance.

Ground out to 1st. 2-1 Astros after 8.
Really good start by Leake. He deserves a win tonight.
I hope Cordero blows it!!!

Cordero coming in:
Pinch hitter, Cozart and Stubbs due up
Big question for this game is what Paul would have done if he had been allowed to swing away.
Bunt with first and second is a tough play, force at any base, bunt has to be pretty good to succeed.
Ludwick up.
Ludwick up now, if you insist on PHing why not Ludwick with men on?
This is the ol Left Hander rounding third and heading for home.
Ludwick flies out to left.
