Griffey Homer!!!!

[cinredsfan2000]

Juinor goes yard!

[Gizmo]

E squared deep drive, but run down in RF. 2-1 after 1.

Smoltz is not missing the bats, that's for sure. He didn't look very good that inning. Reds just hit a lot of rockets that found bats. It's just a matter of if he gets settled down or keeps throwing up grapefruits

[TDHND]

Griffey smoked that ball

[Gizmo]

We're seeing the ball well off Smoltz, it seems. All 4 batters with good contact, and Lohse throwing well. I like our chances.

Agreed, we're seeing Smoltz well, just don't let Lohse throw anymore 3-2 fastballs to Andruw and we have a good chance to get the W.

[Gizmo]

Francoeur Strikes out!

[wojo1025]

FYI, Ross needs to remind Loshe that fastballs right down the middle=trouble. Another K though, breaking stuff looks very good so far, just needs to place his fastballs a little better

[Gizmo]

LaRoche with LaStrike out.

[ThornWithin81]

If Lohse can beat Smoltz, that's a hell of a big win in the long run.

Kyle looks pretty good.

[wojo1025]

Nice little backdoor slider there for strike three looking against Laroche

[SanDiegoRed]

Dude has very good stuff

[Tom Servo]

Kyle Lohse

[wojo1025]

Marty and Hal (I think) are talking about the possibility of Everyday Eddie going on the DL, that's not good
