Re: 4-10-10 Reds vs. Cubs

I predict that Jay Bruce, getting frustrated with getting robbed of hits 1-3 times a game, hits it where they can't take it away. Twice.

Re: 4-10-10 Reds vs. Cubs

I just checked, and I'm in seventh heaven...game is televised on WGN again. I can't remember the last time I've watched so much Reds baseball early in the season. Opening day televised on ESPN, the first two of the Cubs on WGN, and also the Monday (or tuesday...I forget) game on MLB network versus the fish. For a displaced redlegs fan...bliss. :O)

Re: 4-10-10 Reds vs. Cubs

I'd love a win today to put us over .500

Victories against the Cubs are the best. It would make me very happy to go to Mike Leake's major league debut with a sweep of the Cubs on the line.

Agreed, let's hope that he plays some servicable D at third and gets a hit or two.

Re: 4-10-10 Reds vs. Cubs

Nice slider to get Theriot. First 2 fastballs came in at 89 and 91. I hope he's just warming up. Looks like he's only throwing at 80% or so. But he's working quickly and throwing strikes, so it's hard to complain.

Re: 4-10-10 Reds vs. Cubs

Harang throwing a lot of off-speed stuff here in the 1st. Keeping guys off balance well.

Lee reaches for a slider and K's. K, GB to P, K. I'll take it!
