Here's the lineups. I hope they come out OK.

[cumberlandreds]

Game is on WGN if you get that station and live outside of the Cincy area.

[nate]

It's on FSN Ohio here in Nashville.

[LincolnparkRed]

Top o' 1st

Hairston pops up the second pitch after fouling off the first one.
Kepp pops up the fifth pitch foul and ramirez has plenty of room
Griffey walks on five curveballs
Phillips fouls the first, watches the second, fouls the third and almost gets hit by the fourth, watches the fifth and goes to 3-2 before flying out to the track

0-0 with cubs coming to bat

[cumberlandreds]

Phillips flies out to end the Reds 1st.

[LincolnparkRed]

Theriot wastes no time and singles to left on the first pitch
Fukodome watches a curve for strike three
D.Lee doubles home Theriot who was running
Ramirez flies out to right far enough for D. Lee to go to third
Soto grounds to Ede

1-0 cubbies after 1

[cumberlandreds]

I have a bad feeling Arroyo is going to be shelled today. Already 1-0 Cubs on a single by Lee.

[reds44]

Dunn is an awful fielder.

[cumberlandreds]

Where's Marty today? Did the Cubs fans finally get a hold of him?

[cumberlandreds]

EdE Homers!!!!!!!!

[LincolnparkRed]

Dunn goes full and then strikes out on a low curve
EDE jacks the first pitch 1-1 game
Votto singles to right
Ross goes full and then pops one up behind second, where Votto almost gets doubled off
Arroyo watches a curve

1-1 through 1.5

[CTA513]

10 pitch walk to DeRosa.

[OnBaseMachine]

Two out 2-run single by Theriot makes it 3-1 in the 2nd inning.

Have the Reds ever got Theriot out?

[CTA513]

3-1 Cubs

[CTA513]

Arroyo is already at 50 pitches after 2 innings.

[VR]

Ryan Theriot must have attended the Lance Berkman/ Bill Hall offseason camp on "How to hammer the Reds into submission"

[OnBaseMachine]

4-3 Reds!

Griffey RBI double followed by Phillips 2-run HR.

[VR]

4-3 Reds!

Griffey RBI double followed by Phillips 2-run HR.

His first at Wrigley. Weird.

[CTA513]

Lilly did a nice job giving up the lead right after getting it.

[LincolnparkRed]

Phillips says I spit on your 0-14

[LincolnparkRed]

Dunn strikes out on the same low curve as the first time

[LincolnparkRed]

Ede singles to left 2-2 today
Votto singles and that's it for Lilly

[OnBaseMachine]

Votto is also 2-for-2 off Lilly today.

[membengal]

Ryan Theriot must have attended the Lance Berkman/ Bill Hall offseason camp on "How to hammer the Reds into submission"

I hate that camp. Sadly, it is ridiculously popular.

[flyer85]

Lou doesn't mess around when his starter struggles, they are gone early.

[OnBaseMachine]

Arroyo walks Lee after getting ahead 0-2.

[OnBaseMachine]

Ramirez GIDP and Soto grounded out.

4-3 Reds after three.

[Degenerate39]

For the Chat goers did it just die for anyone other than me?

[Gainesville Red]

For the Chat goers did it just die for anyone other than me?

It's back.

[Gainesville Red]

Hairston singles.

[OnBaseMachine]

I think Joe Morgan and Johnny Temple are the answers to the Aflac question.

[OnBaseMachine]

Keppinger singles. First and second with nobody out for Griffey.

[LincolnparkRed]

Lou doesn't mess around when his starter struggles, they are gone early.

They have 13 pitchers today

[OnBaseMachine]

#605!

7-3 Reds!

[NC Reds]

KGJ!!

[CTA513]

These guys are getting ahead 0-2 and haven't been able to put the hitters away.

[OnBaseMachine]

Hopefully Griffey can go on a nice hot streak and some team will offer a decent prospect for him.

Phillips singles. Still no outs.

[Kc61]

I'd be inclined to let Burton go two innings today if necessary. As games go, this one is important to the Reds.

[OnBaseMachine]

Phillips steals 2nd. He's up to 15 homeruns and 19 stolen bases. He probably won't reach 30/30 but 25/30 is a real possibility.

Dunn flies out to LF. Phillips tags and heads to third.

[VR]

Offensive explosion by the Reds....we might get to page two in the game thread if this keeps up!

[OnBaseMachine]

EdE lines out to center but Phillips tags and scores. 8-3 Reds.

[CTA513]

Breaking News.... the Reds just played some little ball to add another run.

[OnBaseMachine]

Votto K's to end the inning.

8-3 Reds after 3 1/2.

[OnBaseMachine]

8-5 after a Fontenot 2-run homerun. Arroyo doesn't have it today. The Cubs patient hitters won't chase the curves.

Fontenot and Theriot kill the Reds.

[NC Reds]

Arroyo is awful. Fontenot homers.

[NC Reds]

I would knock Zambrano down just to make a point.

[Joseph]

Fontenot proves this Cubs team may just be destined for something more than normal. Gnats like him shouldn't be homering.

[CTA513]

8-5 after a Fontenot 2-run homerun. Arroyo doesn't have it today. The Cubs patient hitters won't chase the curves.

Fontenot and Theriot kill the Reds.

He still has around 25 pitches to throw before he can leave.

[flyer85]

Arroyo is awful. Fontenot homers.he has lost what little ability he had to get out LHBs. Jocketty needs to find a taker in this market that is clamoring for pitching.

[NC Reds]

I wouldn't fool around too much with Arroyo today. A quick hook would work for me.

[CTA513]

Arroyo is due up 2nd this inning.

[OnBaseMachine]

Ross homers to right. 9-5 Reds.

[NC Reds]

Ross should start more, if for no other reason to showcase him to other teams.

[Reds Fanatic]

4 Reds home runs and it is just the 5th inning. This is a classic wind blowing out game at Wrigley.

[nate]

This is amongst the slowest games I've ever watched.

[Reds Fanatic]

2 on and 2 out for the Cubs in the 5th. Arroyo is at 100 pitches.

[NC Reds]

Dusty's Dice says let him pitch to Edmonds. I hope they are right.

[Strikes Out Looking]

On a day when 3 Cubs pitchers have given up 9 runs, I'll take Arroyo's performance.

Also, I'm glad I learned that WGN is running Alf reruns!

[Reds Fanatic]

Edmonds grounds out to end the inning. 9-5 Reds after 5. That should be the end for Arroyo today.

[NC Reds]

YEAH!!!!!!!! Dunn gets a long ball.

[Reds Fanatic]

Reds 5th home run of the day. Dunn homers. 10-5 Reds.

[Strikes Out Looking]

Adam Dunn homer's -- Reds 10-5

[MrCinatit]

This just in: Adam Dunn sued by Chicago drivers after causing an eight car pileup with that blast.

[MasonBuzz3]

wow Dunn killed that one.....its a shame we can't see him in the HR Derby

[Cyclone792]

I'll be interested if that ball went 450+ feet. I'm not sure exactly where it landed, but it kicked off the building across the street out of the stadium.

We might be talking near 500 feet.

[CTA513]

wow Dunn killed that one.....its a shame we can't see him in the HR Derby

Im not sure that he wants to be in the HR Derby if he doesn't make the All-Star team.

[Buckeye33]

Brenly actually makes a good joke ...

"That is the first time I've seen people on the rooftop bleachers stand up and get ready to catch a HR ball."

HAHA

[NC Reds]

Every position player has at least one hit. Nice to see for a change.

[Buckeye33]

I'll be interested if that ball went 450+ feet. I'm not sure exactly where it landed, but it kicked off the building across the street out of the stadium.

We might be talking near 500 feet.

Someone google earth that bad boy!!

[Reds Fanatic]

10-5 Reds mid 6th.

[nate]

I think the Geneva Convention was against what Dunn did to that ball.

[Degenerate39]

That would've went into the river at Cincy.

[CTA513]

After that home run by Dunn he is now 11 for 29 with 3 doubles and 4 home runs off Lieber.

[Reds Fanatic]

Bill Bray in to pitch.

[OnBaseMachine]

Good grief. Where was that 3-2 pitch to DeRosa?

[OnBaseMachine]

The defense strikes again. A routine double play ball hit to EdE and he throws it into right field. Now 10-6 and Cubs have runners on the corners.

[CTA513]

lol... a double play ball gets thrown into right field and now its 10-6 Reds.

[Strikes Out Looking]

Ed-E throws a double play ball into RF, 10-6.
Then next play, Ed-E makes the play, dp, 2 outs, 10-7

[Reds Fanatic]

Bray comes in and gives up a single and a walk. Then Edwin commits an error. 10-6. 1st and 3rd with no outs.

[OnBaseMachine]

Now a groundball hit into the same spot and this time EdE turns the double play. The run scores to make it 10-7.

Should be 10-5 heading to the 7th.

[OnBaseMachine]

Bray K's Fukudome on a nasty slider that bounced in front of the plate. Inning over. 10-7 Reds.

[Reds Fanatic]

Gameday is all screwed up they still have the runner at 3rd.

[Cyclone792]

Someone google earth that bad boy!!

I gave it a quick look, though it's not much more than a guess since I'm not sure where exactly the ball landed. My best guess is Dunn's home run went somewhere in the neighborhood of 470 feet. Hopefully we'll get an official measurement published somewhere.

[OnBaseMachine]

The boxscore is showing both those runs as earned runs against Bray. That's gotta be wrong. The Cubs don't score at all if EdE makes that play.

[OnBaseMachine]

Nevermind. They changed them to unearned.

[CTA513]

The boxscore is showing both those runs as earned runs against Bray. That's gotta be wrong. The Cubs don't score at all if EdE makes that play.

They start out earned and then change to unearned after the inning is over.

[Buckeye33]

I gave it a quick look, though it's not much more than a guess since I'm not sure where exactly the ball landed. My best guess is Dunn's home run went somewhere in the neighborhood of 470 feet. Hopefully we'll get an official measurement published somewhere.

I just did a quick look at it to and would estimate it in the 455-470 range.

A BOMB no matter how far it really went.

[VR]

Ross should start more, if for no other reason to showcase him to other teams.

He and Griff share the same OPS.

Interesting.

[membengal]

Glad the Reds are missing Dave Bush in Milwaukee.

8 innings today against Colorado. 13 Ks. No walks. Four hits and one run. Good gravy.

[Reds Fanatic]

For those of you able to watch the game what is the on field delay gameday has on there now.

[OnBaseMachine]

Ross homers again! 11-7.

Two homers by Ross.

[Strikes Out Looking]

Ross homers (again) 11-7 Reds. I knew I should have activated him for my fantasy team today.

I hope there are some scouts at today's game as all the offensive players rumored (or hoped by some fans) to be shopped have done well.

[Reds Fanatic]

6 home runs today. Ross hits his 2nd home run of the game. Get Florida on the phone now his value will never be higher.

[OnBaseMachine]

Bruce pinch hits and singles to left.

[_Sir_Charles_]

Groundcrew work on the mound area. <---reason for the slight delay

[Reds Fanatic]

I was at a game a few years back at Great American where the Reds hit 6 homers in a game. Not sure if that is the team record or not.

[OnBaseMachine]

I was at a game a few years back at Great American where the Reds hit 6 homers in a game. Not sure if that is the team record or not.

Nah. The Reds hit seven homeruns against the Cubs back on May 7 when Votto hit three that day.

The Reds record is nine which was set back in 1999 against the Phillies. I believe that is also the NL record.

[Reds Fanatic]

Nah. The Reds hit seven homeruns against the Cubs back on May 7 when Votto hit three that day.

The Reds record is nine which was set back in 1999 against the Phillies. I believe that is also the NL record.

I forgot about the 7 home run game this year. This team always has their best games when I am stuck at work.

[RedsManRick]

This is a nice little game for Ross's trade value. I could definitely see a Ross & Weathers to FLA package happening soon.

[Kc61]

I wouldn't be so fast to trade Ross, unless somebody good is coming back in return. The Reds have no catchers. Everybody is talking up this guy Hanigan, but he's never been a highly touted prospect.

You need a catcher, right?

[Reds Fanatic]

I wouldn't be so fast to trade Ross, unless somebody good is coming back in return. The Reds have no catchers. Everybody is talking up this guy Hanigan, but he's never been a highly touted prospect.

The Reds believe you need 3 catchers.

[Reds Fanatic]

Lincoln is in. Cubs have runners on 1st and 2nd with 1 out and Edmonds up.

[Reds Fanatic]

Edmonds flies out and DeRosa strikes out. 11-7 Reds after 7.

[VR]

If you can get something significant, great.

I'd rather see Ross get back his starting position, and get 80% of the starts from here on out.

He worked his tail off this winter, only to get side tracked with an injury in spring training, and then to the end of the bench while the Paul Bako and his sub-500 ops over the last two months were overlooked because of his 900 ops over the first few ab's of the year. Bako is still getting treated like Geovany Soto by the Duster.


Ross' k rate is down quite a bit, his bb rate is up quite a bit. I really think the train wreck of the first part of 2007 was corrected at the plate by Ross over the winter.

[jojo]

Wowsers, Phillips has horrid at bats when he gets "homeritis"....

[RedsManRick]

Wowsers, Phillips has horrid at bats when he gets "homeritis"....

As opposed to his normal great at bat versus righties? Particularly ones with a nasty slider? His splits are comical:

vR: 269 PA, .246/.290/.383, 52 SO, 8 BB
vL: 116 PA, .377/.422/.717, 8 SO, 8 BB

He's our cleanup hitter for those vR at bats and people wonder why we have trouble scoring runs...

[RedsManRick]

Burton? Really Dusty? Do you want his arm to fall off right now? You really need your 2nd best reliever to hold down a 4 run lead?

If Majewski can't pitch here, get rid of him.

[OnBaseMachine]

Goundball to Votto who flips to Burton and he drops the ball. This may be the worst defensive series by a MLB team in a long time.

Yes, he needs to use Burton here. Down 0-2 in the series you don't entrust this lead to Maj. Maj is for eating innings in losses.

As far as Burton's arm falling off, he hasn't pitched since Sunday.

Right move.

[Matt700wlw]

Goundball to Votto who flips to Burton and he drops the ball. This may be the worst defensive series by a MLB team in a long time.


Just another day at the office for the Redlegs

[OnBaseMachine]

Burton retires the next three after the error.

11-7 Reds after eight innings.

[jojo]

Goundball to Votto who flips to Burton and he drops the ball. This may be the worst defensive series by a MLB team in a long time.

It's bad. I get treated to the Mariners defense too. Talk about wanting to wretch if you're into defense.

My fetish for the Rays is this seasons only saving grace from a defensive standpoint for me.....

[Strikes Out Looking]

#7 as Votto homers to left

[Matt700wlw]

I have to play catch-up

[Kc61]

Five run lead in a game Reds really need to win. Wind blowing out. Ninth inning.

Cordero or Affeldt?

[OnBaseMachine]

Votto owns the Cubs. Opposite field homerun by Votto, his 13th.

Ross singles.

[jojo]

He's our cleanup hitter for those vR at bats and people wonder why we have trouble scoring runs...

Well ya there is that too.

[LvJ]

I am a big fan of Ross, but I think he really wants to be a Marlin after a day like today.

[OldXOhio]

Five run lead in a game Reds really need to win. Wind blowing out. Ninth inning.

Cordero or Affeldt?

Cordero hasn't pitched since Sunday. And the wind is blowing out. Think you gotta go w/ FC.

[LvJ]

Five run lead in a game Reds really need to win. Wind blowing out. Ninth inning.

Cordero or Affeldt? Why not give Valentin something to do? I'm sure he can get it up to 70ish.

[BCubb2003]

I wouldn't be so fast to trade Ross, unless somebody good is coming back in return. The Reds have no catchers. Everybody is talking up this guy Hanigan, but he's never been a highly touted prospect.

You need a catcher, right?

"If you don't have a catcher, you have a lot of passed balls."

-- Casey Stengel

[Kc61]

"If you don't have a catcher, you have a lot of passed balls."

-- Casey Stengel

I thought it was "all passed balls" but you're probably right. Said when he drafted Hobie Landreth as the Mets first selection in the player draft.

Bottom of the ninth at Wrigley. Hope Cordero can hold a five run lead. I could use a win.

[OnBaseMachine]

Cordero in. Dusty not thinking ahead again.

[LvJ]

"If you don't have a catcher, you have a lot of passed balls."

http://smiliesftw.com/x/hsughr.gif

[membengal]

I don't have a real issue with this one, OBM. Wind blowing out, five runs is not that large a lead, and I would sure hate to see a few get on and then go to Cordero at that point.

Plus, the team is three days away from a three day break. Cordero would be my call here.

[Kc61]

Cordero in. Dusty not thinking ahead again.


He is doing exactly that. Cordero hasn't pitched since Sunday. If he wants him to be sharp this weekend series, he needs to use him. You can't let relievers sit around too long or it shows in their pitching.

And, of course, with the ASB next week, it's unlikely he'll have to use up Cordero. There's a built in three day holiday coming up. Except for Volquez, that is.

[LvJ]

Plus, with Parra vs. Fogg and CC vs. TBA, it's unlikely we'll need Cordero anyways

[Big Klu]

Nine-teen-oh-eight!!! (clap, clap, clap-clap-clap!!!)
Nine-teen-oh-eight!!! (clap, clap, clap-clap-clap!!!)

Let fly the BLUE flag, Cubbies!

[LvJ]

Hey St Louis, Arroyo is 7-7 with an ERA under 20, not bad eh? Hint hint

[VR]

4 innings of 2 hit/0 earned run/ 4k baseball for the bullpen. It really does get boring after awhile.

[reds44]

That was an awesome game to be it. There were a lot of fans in attendance, and when Bruce pinch hit you could clearly hear the "Bruuuuuuuuuuuuuce" chants.
