[OnBaseMachine]

Awful start for the Reds. Matsui singled, stole second. Bourn hit a routine groundball to Votto. He botched the grounder, then threw wildly to Harang allowing Bourn to score. Jeez.

[_Sir_Charles_]

Just out of curiosity, anybody know who's doing the play by play with Marty? Is that Kelch from last year?

[Reds Fanatic]

The first up till now:

Matsui singles, steals 2nd
Bourn reaches on a bad throwing error on Votto. 1-0 Astros
Berkman and Lee fly out to center.
Bourn steals 2nd. Astros are stealing easily against Harang
Tejada grounds out. 1-0 Astros mid 1st.

The cosmos was so thrown off by the delayed game thread that Joey Votto committed a double error that allowed Houston to take a 1-0 lead.

[membengal]

Yes, that's Kelch.

[Bob Borkowski]

Just out of curiosity, anybody know who's doing the play by play with Marty? Is that Kelch from last year?

You are correct. He was on last night also.

[OnBaseMachine]

Horrible defense that inning cost the Reds a run. Can't afford to give away runs with this offense, especially since they are facing a guy who shut them out last time.

[WMR]

Jeez what's the team BA?

The cosmos was so thrown off by the delayed game thread that Joey Votto committed a double error that allowed Houston to take a 1-0 lead.

and they give him an earned run?

[GAC]

Geez! What a starting lineup. I'm simply thrilled.

Chat is open!

[Reds Fanatic]

Taveras leads off with a walk.

[membengal]

I guess they are ruling that he would have scored from third on the next batter or two. But it was a clear bobble that let Bourn on, and a throw away on the same play that let Matsui score on the play.

[VR]

Taveras leads off with a walk.

Don't get it if WT isn't on the run early here.

[AmarilloRed]

I was hoping Rosales would get the start tonight. I hope Dusty gives him some playing time in this 3 week period.
