That lineup sucks. Everytime I like a lineup the Reds end up getting 1 or 2 runs from it. I like this lineup, therefore we are doomed to 1 or 2 runs hence that lineup sucks.

Actually, the lineup would be better with Dunn in the 2 hole, so maybe there's hope for us!

The real key to winning this game is to limit the Cardinals runs and to run up the runs the Reds scores...

Its a very fluid strategy... :p:

I do like the lineup though. EE is starting to get Narron props.

Don't forget Bennett too. If Arroyo can keep Eckstein and Duncan off base in front of Pujols and Edmonds we should be in business today.

If Arroyo gives up any homers early, which he has enjoyed doing as of late, we cannot all freak out. Faith in Cornrows, people.

The upside is that it's been the exception rather than the rule for Reyes all season.

Yup - the fact that he has a hit in 13 of the past 15 games, is hitting over .300 with an OBP of .375 or so in that time with 10 RBI screams move him down.

Ok, the ESPN announcers are ticking me off with their Dunn conversation....

"HRs, SOs, BBs, or nothing. That's what you get with Dunn. Says here he's grounded into 6 double plays this year. I can't believe that. In all the time I've been covering him, I've never seen him hit a ground ball."

Not just once, but they were dwelling on it.

Penchant for timely power or no, Ross is prone to swinging at bad pitches as much as any player I've seen. He's better than say, Rolando Roomes, I guess.

That dastardly Reyes looks like he's going to get away with the beanings, given that it's Castro, who looks completely helpless against Reyes' offspeed stuff at first before working the walk. Surprisingly good at-bat!

Of course, a couple of homers off Glendon Rusch doesn't make you a star hitter, but can Bronson help himself?

When Stone asked Hornish if he was a Reds fan (because he was wearing a Reds jersey), I swear he was disappointed when he responded "actually, yes I am".

The change-up has been absolutely nasty. Live fastball around 91 and the change-up around 78. Nice little curve too. Reyes can be really tough when he is on, and he appears to be on today.
