Yeah, to only win the game by 4 runs.
Oh the humanity.
Just got home from the game! It was a great ceremony--seeing all the players from the Big Red Machine made me feel like a little kid again! Sparky, Tony, Little Joe, George, Ken Sr., Johnny, and of course the guest of honor--Dave Concepcion! I thought the video congratulations from Giants SS Omar Vizquel was a nice touch, as well!
Matt Belisle pitched very well. Stanton and Saarloos--not so much. But what should we expect from the eighth inning?!
Jeff Keppinger continues to hit, and hit, and hit....

Eric Stratton, Rush Chairman. Damn glad to meet ya.
If Dunn remains a Red throughout all of next season as he should (and beyond that), then he could move as high as third place on the Reds all-time homerun list late next season. And then into second place all by himself sometime during the 2009 season.
