Re: 4-15-12 at DC

Right now, I'd like to see the Reds score more runs and cause the Nats to use three more pitchers. I want some revenge.

Bruce flies out.

Re: 4-15-12 at DC

It worked both ways. But pitching to Votto meant three runs scored whereas likely only one would've scored on Rolen's blooper...

Scott Rolen, upset by the barbs on RedsZone about his age, steals second base.

Being right or wrong is no biggie. We all swing and miss on predictions. The hyperbole has been over the top this week, though.

There was a Nicholas Cage movie where he could see only about five minutes into the future. He should have become a baseball manager.

That will happen when expectations are raised and they start off like this. Its been tough to watch this team so far this year.

Sean Marshall is closing this one out, or is supposed to. He wasn't too effective last time out. Let's hope he does this quickly and easily.

Allows a lead off single. Oy.

There's a Nicolas Cage movie for any scenario you can possibly imagine.
