5-11-10 Cincy vs. Pirates (Cueto throws 1 hit shutout)
John Fay posted the lineup so I figured I'd go ahead and get a game thread started here. We have a Paul Janish sighting tonight and Heisey is apparently our leadoff man tonight.
 Reds Chris Heisey 8 Brandon Phillips 4 Joey Votto 3 Scott Rolen 5 Jay Bruce 9 Jonny Gomes 7 Ramon Hernandez 2 Paul Janish 6 Johhny Cueto 1 vs. RHP Charlie Morton The tarp is on the field. It’s raining ever so lightly. Fay: http://cincinnati.com/blogs/reds/ No Pirates lineup yet and I really hope the rain stops for them soon. They may need a boat tonight, LOL  :

Re: 5-11-10 Cincy vs. Pirates (Ahoy Mateys!)
Oh, it's raining like crazy so they won't play. Okay, now I understand why Dusty did this lineup. Little chance of it actually taking place. *sigh*
You know, after all the petitioning I've done to get Janish a start because of his defense and his hot start with the bat...he's been off so long now, he's probably forgotten how to both hit AND field.

It poured for much of the day in Pittsburgh, but I think the worst of it is past. I think they will be able to get this one in.

The Hour-by-Hour forecast sure doesn't look good. I would love to see the Reds play with this line-up today. Just to pick nits, I sure would prefer Nix out there today after his double yesterday. I still like it and hope we can get this one in.

Forget the hour by hour, just look at the radar. It's much better than it was from Pittsburgh on west.

Re: 5-11-10 Cincy vs. Pirates (Ahoy Mateys!)
I wonder if Cabrera's two "errors" last night have anything to do with Janish starting?

It looks like the last of the rain is passing through right now. Most new stadiums dry out extremely quickly - I'd be shocked if they didn't play.

I'm not gonna lie....I think this linuep will but up 7+ runs if they get it in.

Re: 5-11-10 Cincy vs. Pirates (Ahoy Mateys!)
So...Will Chris Heisey get his first Major League hit tonight? What will it be and in what inning?
I'm going with a leadoff double in the 1st.

HEY! Heisey's first MLB base hit. Grounder to third...beats it out. Congratulations Chris!
