We're good again!

Just like in Pilly. Win one out of three--probably what will happen all season long.

Kudos to JC on the usual wonderful effort.

A theory that probably has nothing to do with the reason. Switch Pitcher pitches to Switch Hitter. Switch pitcher choose right hand, switch hitter bats lefty. Pitcher changes hand. Switch hitter calls time and switches to righty. Switch pitcher changes hand again. Switch hitter calls time and switches again ....
The game would never end!!!!
All my posts are my opinion - just like yours are. If I forget to state it and you're too dense to see the obvious, look here!

Great outing by Cueto. But I really enjoyed how much fun the guys were having today. Lots of laughing and joking around.

I'd rather listen to Kelch read the phone book than suffer through Thom Brennaman's attempt to make every instance on the field the most important event since the discovery of manned space flight. -westofyou

Reds pitchers retired the last 15 Padres they faced today.

The older I get - the better I was
and yes - I hate the Cardinals (Reds fan since 1958)
I miss Raisor
Just arrived back home after a trip to the ballpark. I guess it is poetic justice since I've been dogging Bruce this year that he nearly hits one out of the park and doubles up to drive in all the runs. Cueto, you could just see him become unhittable after inning 2. He found his command, hit the corners, kept the ball down. The Padres, after two days of raking, barely hit a ball hard all day. My boys were a little bummed at no Batting Practice, they usually snag a few balls either from players or home runs. Not sure why no BP today.
Oh, and the game was over in under 2:30 hours. Easy win, a rare one this year.
