[RedsManRick]

Anybody in Chicago know if the game is on TV? CSN has the Sox and WGN isn't carrying it. (And of course it's blacked out MLB.tv -- grrr!)

[Reds Fanatic]

Phillips is hit by the first pitch of the game

[reds44]

Anybody in Chicago know if the game is on TV? CSN has the Sox and WGN isn't carrying it.
It's on CSN+. DirecTV channel 666. Wanna say it's CLTV on comcast.

[Reds Fanatic]

Wow. Late night for the Cubs last night. Did not finish until almost 1:30 AM CT after a long rain delay.

[Reds Fanatic]

Wild pitch moves Phillips to 2nd.

[Tom Servo]

Stubbs gonna Stubbs.

[reds44]

That was a ball.

[Reds Fanatic]

Stubbs does what Stubbs does and strikes out looking.

[Reds Fanatic]

Phillips attempts to steal 3rd and is out by a mile.

[RedsManRick]

It's on CSN+. DirecTV channel 666. Wanna say it's CLTV on comcast.

Yeah, found it. Didn't know there was a CSN+. 285 on Comcast.

Just in time to watch Phillips take himself out of scoring position with Votto up. Sigh.

[Tom Servo]

Running out of innings :(

[reds44]

He was safe, but that was stupid baserunning.

[Reds Fanatic]

Yes on 2nd look the throw easily beat him but the tag was missed

[reds44]

Yeah, found it. Didn't know there was a CSN+. 285 on Comcast.

Just in time to watch Phillips take himself out of scoring position with Votto up. Sigh.
You going to any game this week?

[Tom Servo]

And that would have scored BP...

[Reds Fanatic]

Votto doubles to left center. They just ran themselves out of a run.

[RedsManRick]

You going to any game this week?

No tickets yet. Open to it though.

And Phillips should get a -1 runs scored...

[reds44]

No tickets yet. Open to it though.

And Phillips should get a -1 runs scored...
I'll be there tomorrow night in the bleachers. In the unlikely scenario are magic number is 1 on Thursday, I'll be there too.

[alloverjr]

Stubbs does what Stubbs does and strikes out looking.

I was wondering why he was even playing tonight. Hits RH's well?

Maybe because he got the last out the other day. ;)

[Reds Fanatic]

Ludwick strikes out on 3 pitches.

[Tom Servo]

If the Reds are shut down for several innings by Justin Germano, I may lose all faith in their ability to score runs.

[Reds Fanatic]

I was wondering why he was even playing tonight. Hits RH's well?

Maybe because he got the last out the other day. ;)

The thing I don't get if you are going to play Stubbs why is he continuing to bat him 2nd.

[Reds Fanatic]

A few updates on the playoff races.

Brewers up 1-0 on the Pirates in the 3rd. Marlins up 1-0 on the Braves. Cards just starting.

Several rainouts tonight: Phillies - Mets, Nationals - Dodgers, Blue Jays - Yankees

[Kc61]

The thing I don't get if you are going to play Stubbs why is he continuing to bat him 2nd.

Because the other alternative is Valdez. Stubbs is probably getting the start tonight as a "thank you" for his catch ending the Marlins game.

I don't usually apologize for Stubbs, but it looked to me like he called out on ball four.

As for Phillips, I don't know who called for that steal of third, but it was ridiculous.

[Tom Servo]

Nasty pitch by Homer to strikeout The Jesus.

[Reds Fanatic]

DeJesus strikes out swinging.

[Reds Fanatic]

Valbuena walks

[Tom Servo]

I swear, Valbuena is generally awful but he gives the Reds pitchers fits.

[Kc61]

Still fuming at that attempted steal by Phillips. I don't know who called for that, but what a terrible, terrible play.

[Tom Servo]

Nice D by Votto!

[Reds Fanatic]

Rizzo hits into a 3-6-3 DP. 0-0 after 1.

[Reds Fanatic]

Bruce grounds out to 2nd.

[Reds Fanatic]

Rolen walks

[Reds Fanatic]

Another wild pitch moves Rolen to 2nd.

[Reds Fanatic]

Hanigan flies out to left.

[alloverjr]

I was wondering why he was even playing tonight. Hits RH's well?

Maybe because he got the last out the other day. ;)

I'd prefer Didi here

I also have no idea why I quoted myself :)

[Reds Fanatic]

Valdez grounds out to 3rd. 0-0 mid 2nd.

[Reds Fanatic]

Soriano strikes out swinging.

[Reds Fanatic]

Castro pops out to 2nd.

[dougdirt]

Soriano pops out to 2nd.


Soriano strikes out swinging.

Batting out of order! Batting out of order!:lol::lol:

[Reds Fanatic]

Clevenger grounds out to 1st. 0-0 after 2.

[Kc61]

Reds come up in the third. What offensive frustration awaits?

[Reds Fanatic]

Bailey strikes out swinging.

[Reds Fanatic]

Cards take a 1-0 lead on the Astros in the 2nd.

[alloverjr]

Leadoff doesn't appear to be agreeing with BP this recent go-round.

[Reds Fanatic]

Phillips flies out to right.

[Reds Fanatic]

Stubbs lines a single to left. He ends an 0 for 16 slump

[alloverjr]

:eek:

[Tom Servo]

whoa

[Tom Servo]

Of course, a deep flyout.

This is pretty depressing so far. It's one thing when it's Tyler Cloyd or Justin Turner, but this is Justin Germano.

[Reds Fanatic]

Votto just missed flies out to the wall in center. 0-0 mid 3rd.

[Reds Fanatic]

Of course, a deep flyout.

This is pretty depressing so far. It's one thing when it's Tyler Cloyd or Justin Turner, but this is Justin Germano.

Yes if this team can't hit Justin Germano what chance do they have against real pitching in a couple weeks.

[Reds Fanatic]

Jackson strikes out swinging. 3 Ks for Bailey

[Reds Fanatic]

Barney singles to left.

[Reds Fanatic]

Germano sacrifices the runner to 2nd.

[Reds Fanatic]

Long AB. DeJesus flies out to left. 0-0 after 3.

[Kc61]

Wind seems to be knocking down the long fly balls to CF. Votto, DeJesus, hit the ball well but didn't go anywhere.

[WebScorpion]

Come on...real men don't take gummy vitamins! :eek:

[Reds Fanatic]

Ludwick flies out to left.

[WVRedsFan]

Ball is going nowhere tonight.

[Reds Fanatic]

Astros left 2 runners on in the 3rd. Still 1-0 Cards mid 3rd. Brewers up 2-0 on the Pirates in the 7th.

[Reds Fanatic]

Bruce singles to right.

[Kc61]

Bruce singles to right.

Nice hitting by Bruce there. Most of these guys seem to be swinging for the 600 foot homer.

[Reds Fanatic]

Bruce steals 2nd.

[WebScorpion]

Nice hitting by Bruce there. Most of these guys seem to be swinging for the 600 foot homer.Not to mention they had three fielders between 1st & 2nd base and he managed to hit it between two of them. :eek:

[Reds Fanatic]

Rolen pops out to 1st.

[Kc61]

Bruce steals 2nd.

That may explain the Phillips caught stealing in the first.

Reds may think they can run at will on this pitcher and catcher.

Two outs now.

[Reds Fanatic]

Hanigan walks.

[Kc61]

Pitched around Hanigan.

Now Valdez with two on.

I'd use a pinch hitter. Let Xman take a shot.

[dsmith421]

Valdez is quite literally the worst hitter I've ever seen. I call him the Out Gremlin.

[Reds Fanatic]

Valdez grounds out to 2nd. 0-0 mid 4th.

[WVRedsFan]

Almost a sure out.

[Kc61]

Valdez grounds out to 2nd. 0-0 mid 4th.

It's hard to score with Stubbs, Valdez, and a pitcher in the lineup particularly when you run out of an inning with Votto up.

[WebScorpion]

Hanigan walks.with 2 pitchers behind him, he's gonna need to swing more.. ;)

[Reds Fanatic]

Hopefully if Cozart gets back this weekend we won't have to see Valdez start much more.

[Reds Fanatic]

Valbuena fouls out to short.

[alloverjr]

Hopefully if Cozart gets back this weekend we won't have to see Valdez start much more.

I thought Didi acquitted himself quite well on Sunday, and with a RH going, suprised (disappointed) he didn't get another shot.

[Reds Fanatic]

I thought Didi acquitted himself quite well on Sunday, and with a RH going, suprised (disappointed) he didn't get another shot.

Yes I was really surprised he was not starting tonight.

[Reds Fanatic]

Rizzo walks.

[Kc61]

Cannot believe this team can't score against Germano and the Cubs.

[Reds Fanatic]

Soriano flies out to the track in right

[Tom Servo]

Cannot believe this team can't score against Germano and the Cubs.
This. Milwaukee, San Francisco, and Washington all pounded him before he got Houston his last time out.

[Reds Fanatic]

Castro grounds out to Bailey. 0-0 after 4.

[Reds Fanatic]

Brewers now up 4-0 on the Pirates. May be within 2 games of the wild card tonight.

[Reds Fanatic]

Bailey grounds out to short.

[Reds Fanatic]

Phillips grounds out to 2nd.

[Tom Servo]

sigh

[Reds Fanatic]

Stubbs grounds out to 3rd. This is pretty pitiful tonight. 0-0 mid 5th.

[Reds Fanatic]

Clevenger singles to right.

[Reds Fanatic]

Jackson flies out to center.

[Reds Fanatic]

Barney flies out to right.

[traderumor]

There's a time when you give credit to the pitcher. This is not one of them. This ia pathetic hitting two weeks running.

[Reds Fanatic]

Germano flies out to right. 0-0 after 5.

[Tom Servo]

It is crazy how night and day Homer is on the road and at home.

[Kc61]

Month of September Reds team OPS is .637. And that's BEFORE tonight.

[Tom Servo]

Month of September Reds team OPS is .637. And that's BEFORE tonight.
:barf:

[WebScorpion]

I think they're going to break out this inning.
How about some runs! http://www.freesmileys.org/smileys/smiley-happy107.gif (http://www.freesmileys.org/smileys.php)

[alloverjr]

Joey said a dirty word :D

[Tom Servo]

Chris Welsh calling out the offense.

[Reds Fanatic]

Leadoff walk to Votto.

[alloverjr]

Chris Welsh calling out the offense.

As well he should. This has been putrid.

[Reds Fanatic]

Cards now up 2-0 on the Astros in the 5th.

[WVRedsFan]

This is painful to watch.

[Reds Fanatic]

Make it 3-0 Cards

[Reds Fanatic]

Ludwick walks. 1st and 2nd.

[WVRedsFan]

That was ball 4

[Reds Fanatic]

3rd straight walk. Bases loaded for Rolen.

[Red in Chicago]

Ok, we have to score this inning, right?

[WVRedsFan]

Germano lifted

[Reds Fanatic]

And that quickly Germano is gone. Corpas in to pitch

[Tom Servo]

Still should have gotten to Germano without him being lifted for a reliever.

[WVRedsFan]

Soft tossers seem to be this team's Kryptonite.

[George Foster]

Ok, we have to score this inning, right?

Well the Pirates did not score against us last week in the extra inning game...they had the bases loaded with no outs. Rolen just needs to put it in play...opposite field which he is good at.

[WebScorpion]

http://www.freesmileys.org/smileys/smiley-happy036.gif (http://www.freesmileys.org/smileys.php)http://www.freesmileys.org/smileys/smiley-happy036.gif (http://www.freesmileys.org/smileys.php)http://www.freesmileys.org/smileys/smiley-happy036.gif (http://www.freesmileys.org/smileys.php)http://www.freesmileys.org/smileys/smiley-happy036.gif (http://www.freesmileys.org/smileys.php) Rally time!

[Tom Servo]

The heck was that.

[Reds Fanatic]

Wow. They dont score on what should have been a passed ball to the wall behind home.

[George Foster]

Votto is scared to death to run hard...he should of scored.

[WVRedsFan]

Interesting. Swing and a miss to the backstop and nobody scores.

[Kc61]

The heck was that.

Cubs can't even give the Reds a run. Wild pitch no advance with bases loaded.

Now 0-2 on Rolen. C'mon.

[Tom Servo]

oh jesus

[Reds Fanatic]

Votto just won't run. Rolen flies out to center.

[WVRedsFan]

Votto is scared right now. Two chances to score.

[Plus Plus]

Votto held by Berry- the fear might be an organizational thing.

[Reds Fanatic]

Yes almost any runner would have scored on both those plays.

[Tom Servo]

The Manigan delivers!

[Reds Fanatic]

Big hit. Hanigan doubles to right center. 3-0 Reds!

[alloverjr]

OMG! Runs!

[Red in Chicago]

Now that's what I'm taking about

[WVRedsFan]

Finally, Hamigan gets them in.

[Kc61]

And Joey says - you wanted me to risk an out with Hanigan coming up?

Nice shot by Ryan.

[Tom Servo]

So in retrospect not running on the Rolen fly was smart :p

[Tadasimha]

Yes almost any runner would have scored on both those plays.

Except maybe for a guy with a gimpy leg - good hold. No need to get a second out at home with a guy who can't run full speed.

[George Foster]

Votto held by Berry- the fear might be an organizational thing.

The pass ball was not an organizational thing...that was all Votto.

Hannigan LOVES Cubs pitching...

[Tom Servo]

No more Valdez, please.

[Reds Fanatic]

Valdez grounds out to short. Hanigan to 3rd.

[WebScorpion]

Manigan!! I knew it IknewitIknewit! http://www.freesmileys.org/smileys/smiley-happy093.gif (http://www.freesmileys.org/smileys.php)

[WVRedsFan]

Valdez = outs.

[Reds Fanatic]

Bailey pops out to 2nd. 3-0 Reds mid 6th.

[WebScorpion]

Valdez does his job...moves the runner over for the pitcher. :D

[George Foster]

Valdez = outs.

I have no idea why he is starting after the great game the new kid had down in Miami....

Dusty's old school "this is the way we did it back in the day" mentality I don't understand.

You ride the hot horse..Valdez has no business starting tonight. We know exactly what he can do.

[Reds Fanatic]

DeJesus flies out to left

[Reds Fanatic]

Valbuena grounds out to 2nd.

[Reds Fanatic]

Those numbers for Bailey really do make you consider that Bailey should possibly start game 2 on the road in the playoffs.

[Reds Fanatic]

Rizzo grounds out to short. 3-0 Reds after 6.

[Tony Cloninger]

If Votto is that scared then when does he become not scared? He is going to have to run hard sometime.

[Kc61]

If Votto is that scared then when does he become not scared? He is going to have to run hard sometime.

I'm guessing it had nothing to do with his injury. He was just being conservative, didn't want to run into an out with the bases loaded no outs.

Sometimes those come back to bite you, that time it worked out.

[George Foster]

Didi Gregorius is the kids name that has played good at SS for us.

Why not start him again?

I would be open to Gregorius being the back up infielder during the playoffs....he has hit the ball hard most at bats..let's see what he can do this month. Let him have a chance. Especially this series before Cozart comes back.

However we all know he has no chance of making the post season roster...no chance. Valdez is written in stone.

[WebScorpion]

If Votto is that scared then when does he become not scared? He is going to have to run hard sometime.I heard somewhere he's not supposed to be 100% until next year. :dunno:

[Tom Servo]

I'm guessing it had nothing to do with his injury. He was just being conservative, didn't want to run into an out with the bases loaded no outs.

Sometimes those come back to bite you, that time it worked out.
But then what about the passed ball?

[Reds Fanatic]

Phillips flies out to right.

[George Foster]

Those numbers for Bailey really do make you consider that Bailey should possibly start game 2 on the road in the playoffs.

If we have a better record than the Giants, why will they have home field advantage?

[WVRedsFan]

Brandon just stinkng it up tonight. Is he slumping?

[Reds Fanatic]

If we have a better record than the Giants, why will they have home field advantage?

The stupid playoff schedule baseball is going with this one year where the 1 and 2 seeds will start with 2 road games and then have 3 home games in the first round.

[Kc61]

Didi Gregorius is the kids name that has played good at SS for us.

Why not start him again?

I would be open to Gregorius being the back up infielder during the playoffs....he has hit the ball hard most at bats..let's see what he can do this month. Let him have a chance. Especially this series before Cozart comes back.

However we all know he has no chance of making the post season roster...no chance. Valdez is written in stone.

Valdez is a pro who has played in pennant races and big games. He can't hit, but he's had a few big hits this year. Reds aren't going to replace him with a guy who played at AA and AAA this year.

To read the game thread, you'd think the rest of the club is clobbering the ball and the only problem is Wilson Valdez.

[alloverjr]

Phillips flies out to right.

1 -17 on the road trip. Ouch.

[WebScorpion]

If we have a better record than the Giants, why will they have home field advantage?This year it's 2 games at the lower seeded teams park and then 3 games at the higher seed instead of the normal 2-2-1 format.

[Reds Fanatic]

Didi Gregorius is the kids name that has played good at SS for us.

I have heard a lot of talk about Gregorious or Cingrani being on the postseason roster. In fact Hal McCoy had it in his article today.

Unless I am completely wrong I thought you had to be on the 25 man roster on August 31st to be eligible.

[George Foster]

The stupid playoff schedule baseball is going with this one year where the 1 and 2 seeds will start with 2 road games and then have 3 home games in the first round.

So the team with the best record could be down 0-2....that crazy...

God forbid we do a 2-2-1 like they have done it for years.

[Reds Fanatic]

So the team with the best record could be down 0-2....that crazy...

God forbid we do a 2-2-1 like they have done it for years.

It is insane but to save travel days they are doing it this one year and going back to 2-2-1 next year.

[Reds Fanatic]

Stubbs popped out to 2nd.

[Reds Fanatic]

Votto strikes out swinging. 3-0 Reds mid 7th

[Kc61]

Braves tied up Marlins and are in extras. Atlanta just swept Washington, playing good ball of late.

[WVRedsFan]

Hope Dusty and Price keep close watch on Homer now. He's pitching a gem, but with our bullpen, there's no reason to lift him. Three runs is not that much and he is sitting at 84 pitches.

[Reds Fanatic]

Sorinao strikes out swinging. 4 Ks .

[George Foster]

It is insane but to save travel days they are doing it this one year and going back to 2-2-1 next year.

If that is the case, I would start Latos and Bailey in San Fran...Latos has pitched good there and we all know how good Bailey pitches on the road.

Heck, I would consider Arroyo and Bailey. Arroyo would love pitching in that big ball park

[Kc61]

Bailey struck out Soriano with gas. I don't know if Homer's had a better fastball this year.

Now two outs.

[Reds Fanatic]

Castro flies out to center.

[Reds Fanatic]

Bailey is at 90 pitches.

[George Foster]

Bailey struck out Soriano with gas. I don't know if Homer's had a better fastball this year.

Now two outs.

If memory serves me correct, he pitched pretty good in Game 3 against the Phillies in 2010...we just did not show up offensively.

[WVRedsFan]

If memory serves me correct, he pitched pretty good in Game 3 against the Phillies in 2010...we just did not show up offensively.

Sounds vaguely familiar :laugh:

[Reds Fanatic]

Clevenger grounds out to short. 3-0 Reds after 7.

[Kc61]

If memory serves me correct, he pitched pretty good in Game 3 against the Phillies in 2010...we just did not show up offensively.

If Homer could pitch like this two thirds of the time, he'd be an all star. Brilliant outing tonight.

[WebScorpion]

Don't you miss Harry Carey?

http://mlb.mlb.com/video/play.jsp?content_id=24005669&c_id=mlb

http://www.freesmileys.org/smileys/smiley-cool05.gif (http://www.freesmileys.org/smileys.php)

[Tom Servo]

Great start by Homer.

[Tadasimha]

Don't you miss Harry Carey?

http://mlb.mlb.com/video/play.jsp?content_id=24005669&c_id=mlb

http://www.freesmileys.org/smileys/smiley-cool05.gif (http://www.freesmileys.org/smileys.php)

No

[Reds Fanatic]

Astros had a few runners on in the 7th and again fail to score. 3-0 Cards mid 7th.

[Kc61]

At 3-0 I leave Homer in.

At 5-0 maybe I take him out.

At 4-0 I'm undecided.

[Reds Fanatic]

Ludwick strikes out

[cincrazy]

He pitched well in that game in 2010, but he didn't start it. Not to insinuate he wouldn't have pitched well if he did, but I think there is a notable difference in starting a game and coming in when your team is already behind.

That being said, I'd feel comfortable giving Homer the ball in the postseason this year. Especially on the road.

[WebScorpion]

At 3-0 I leave Homer in.

At 5-0 maybe I take him out.

At 4-0 I'm undecided.
He's at 95 pitches and throwing harder than he was in the early innings. Unless he asks to be removed, I'd leave him in. :thumbup:

[Reds Fanatic]

Bruce strikes out swinging.

[Kc61]

Bruce strikes out swinging.

Bruce swung at ball four and ball five..

[Reds Fanatic]

Rolen flies out to right. 3-0 Reds mid 8th.

[Reds Fanatic]

Jackson grounds out to 2nd

[Kc61]

Homer squeezed, keeps his composure, gets the batter on a grounder. Nice pitching.

[George Foster]

Astros had a few runners on in the 7th and again fail to score. 3-0 Cards mid 7th.

It's pretty cool to be in a position where we don't really care in the Cards win or not...A lot of teams are in a dog fight every night...

With that being said, it is hard to turn "on" that intensity when you need it. Maybe there is an advantage of playing meaningful games in late September..I hope we can turn in "on" in October. I got faith!

[George Foster]

He's at 95 pitches and throwing harder than he was in the early innings. Unless he asks to be removed, I'd leave him in. :thumbup:

Dusty needs to think about October and not a complete game for Bailey.

[Kc61]

Base hit for Barney with one out. LeHair pinch hitting. Lefty, with DeJesus also a lefty next.

Homer needs to get this guy or he's coming out.

[Reds Fanatic]

LaHair doubles to right. 3-1 Reds.

[WVRedsFan]

Time to go to the mound

[George Foster]

Good game Bailey...:thumbup:

[Reds Fanatic]

Marshall coming in to pitch. Great start by Bailey

[George Foster]

Very good commercial....:beerme:

[Reds Fanatic]

Brewers beat the Pirates 6-0. So there are now 3 teams within 2 games of the final wild card spot.

[Kc61]

Don't blame anyone for leaving Bailey in there. Pitching a great game, one man on, have to leave him in.

In retrospect, though, I wish Marshall had pitched to LeHair. Or maybe they would have used a righty if Marshall came in.

Game is far from over.

[Kc61]

Sappelt hitting for DeJesus.

[George Foster]

Brewers beat the Pirates 6-0. So there are now 3 teams within 2 games of the final wild card spot.

I don't want the Brewers to win one of the Wild cards....they are HOT

[Reds Fanatic]

Sappelt hit by the pitch

[Reds Fanatic]

That was close. That barely hit his back foot.

[Reds Fanatic]

Vitters pinch hitting

[Kc61]

Righty hitter Vitters coming up. Hoover warming.

I guess they will leave Marshall in since Rizzo the lefty is on deck.

[George Foster]

Bring in the righty Dusty...

[Kc61]

Bring in the righty Dusty...

He won't. Lefty hitter on deck.

[Reds Fanatic]

Nice pitch. Vitters strikes out looking.

[George Foster]

back up the outfielders...no one scores from 1st base...hopefully.

[Reds Fanatic]

Rizzo grounds out to 2nd. 3-1 Reds after 8.

[Tom Servo]

Good job Marshall!

[Kc61]

Marshall good job, 3-1 after 8.

[WVRedsFan]

Good job, Marshall!

[Kc61]

Hey Reds.

Runs.

Couldn't hurt.

[George Foster]

I'm assuming the Big Boy in the 9th...or Hoover?

[Reds Fanatic]

Final numbers for Bailey tonight: 7.1 IP, 4H, 1ER, 2BB, 4K

[Kc61]

I'm assuming the Big Boy in the 9th...or Hoover?

I think Hoover was backing up the eighth inning. I expect Brox.

[WVRedsFan]

Hey Reds.

Runs.

Couldn't hurt.

Hmmm. Hanigan, Valdez, and a pinch hitter. Not so much.

[George Foster]

Final numbers for Bailey tonight: 7.1 IP, 4H, 1ER, 2BB, 4K

His splits from the road to GABP is amazing...night and day..

Bailey is my starter for game 3 of the World Series...no doubt!

[Reds Fanatic]

Hanigan grounds out to 2nd.

[RedsMan3203]

Just getting in... Looks like its a barn burner of a game tonight....

Ya'll having fun?

[Reds Fanatic]

Valdez grounds out to the pitcher

[WVRedsFan]

Paul up

[George Foster]

Valdez with a sac bunt...WTH??

[Red in Chicago]

I hear the howl

[Kc61]

Paul going deep. Solid prediction. Very confident.

[PuffyPig]

Bailey is my starter for game 3 of the World Series...no doubt!

The #3 starter also gets the #7 game at home. So likely Arroyo goes game #3 and Bailey #4.

[George Foster]

I hear the howl

u at the game??

[WVRedsFan]

Valdez with a sac bunt...WTH??

Now hitting .199

[Tadasimha]

The howl is starting in Wrigley!

[Reds Fanatic]

Paul strikes out swinging.

Broxton coming in. 3-1 Reds mid 9th

[Red in Chicago]

u at the game??

No, but I heard it a few times on Chicago broadcast.

[Reds Fanatic]

Soriano, Castro and Clevenger due up

[reds44]

Hahahahahaha you can totally hear the howl on the Cubs broadcast.

[George Foster]

Now hitting .199

FREE

DIDI

[Kc61]

Hey Brox. The long fly ball in Miami is a homer in Chicago.

Avoid it.

[WVRedsFan]

I miss Chappy.

[George Foster]

Hey Brox. The long fly ball in Miami is a homer in Chicago.

Avoid it.

that's funny...I laughed..

[Reds Fanatic]

Soriano flies out to right on the first pitch

[Reds Fanatic]

Castro flies out to right. 2 outs.
