Phillips is really getting aggressive on the basepaths!

Bulging disk that needs treatment, pressing on his spine. Happened while he was with the Brewers.

Hmm, Kershaw may have a gazillion strikeouts by the end of his pitching line today but if Bronson keeps matching him by getting the Dodgers out, then it won't matter in the end. I hope that actually happens, LOL ;)

Edit: Never mind....I'll shut up now. :eek:

Keep it up!

This is why I'm surprised nobody really pushed the Reds hard to trade Arroyo to them. He's got a well-established track record as a second-half pitcher.

Kemp with a long homer to left center. 2-1 Reds.

Oops. HR Kemp. 2-1 Reds.

Kemp didn't miss that one. He is a good looking player.

OK, thanks. I hadn't heard about this. He played well earlier this week in Milwaukee.


Has anyone else noticed that when the Reds are at home, Gomes plays RF and Nix/Wlad/McDonald play LF. But on the road, Gomes plays LF, and Nix/Wlad play RF. What's the deal?

Just like I got Big Mac fired up, I jinxed Bronson.

The broadcast is finally talking about that Ethier AB from the first game. Obviously they didn't follow the game thread which spoke at length about the incident.

Runners on 1st and 2nd for the pitcher with 2 outs.

Dang, that's just bad luck right there. :(

Not routine plays but Janish needs to make them. 2-2 games as Kershaw singles past Janish.

Janish misses two grounders up the middle and the Dodgers tie the game. First one was a very tough play, he dove and it went off his glove. Second one looked playable, but it may have taken a bad hop.

3 outs as Rolen makes the play. 2-2 game.
