Just please stop talking about him wearing down; it's unfounded, unjustifiable and wrong.

Sounds good. Here's hoping that Pujols tears both hamstrings some time in the next week.

Various observations from the game:
1) Freel made yet another great diving catch to save some runs. His play at the plate where he crashed into the catcher was great. He got busted trying to steel 2nd but successfuly stole 3rd at another point in the game.
2) Dunn has a pretty decent arm. He made a throw from semi-deep LF corner and from an awkard positon and using mostly his arm. The throw made it well past 3B to the cut off man.
3) Coffey pitched great tonight. 6 straight outs. Blamo.
4) Phillips hit a monster homer to straight away center. Somehow the CF jumped about 27feet in the air but didn't come up with the ball. It was a pretty amazing poke for him.
5) Clayton and Ross connected for a bang-bang play at home plate to prevent a run. Ross then picked off a runner a 2nd to the inning. I know he's weak on D but he was "in the pocket" tonight.
The Reds avoid a hundred loss season!

It would have been worse without you, friend.Judging from the Reds 2000-2005 records, my presence is more likely to inspire a walking of the plank, than a cakewalk... but thanks for the vote of confidence, VR.
I was worried that you were in the witness protection program...
We need you here, buddy. Welcome back.
