Vin is now saying that it's the first time for a Dodger to hit for the cycle in Dodger Stadium. I find that amazing!

I'm really surprised the Dodgers aren't getting more attention. That's a lineup that goes 8 deep, solid defense outside of LF, and a pitching staff with a lot of talent, if not experience.
Hudson was really a great addition for them.
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.

You're absolutely correct. And I agree that it wasn't going to happen. Just another step in doo-doo by Reds management that won't really spend the money or take the risks that it takes to make this team into a legitimate, long-term contender.
There is another current thread about attendance in Cincinnati. I think that this is a perfect example of why that thread even exsists.

BTW, apparently, this is not the first time that the cycle has been hit for by a 'home team' player in Dodger Stadium. However, it was, apparently, an Angel that did it, Jim Fregosi, when the Angels actually did play in LA. I missed the year he did it. I'll try to look it up.

Go to Cincy to play for a middle of the road team or go to LA to play for a conyender. Hmmm....
Hudson would not have made a lot of difference. Our rotation is just not that good, despte RZers' overrating it. It might be good enough to contend in a year or so; it's not now.
