The Reds really ticked the league off with that protest didn't they?

Arroyo gets out of a 2nd & 3rd with 1 out jam.
0-0 after 3 innings.
Even the Giants announcers are commenting on how the Reds are getting no help from the umpires.
Rem
I am not one to question Bronson, but he throws curves on a 2-1 count and a 3-2 count to a pitcher who is 1-for-13 this year. Both are balls. Walk.
Roberts flys easily to Ellison to end another jam for Arroyo.
0-0 after 4 innings.
Easy inning for both pitchers. Keppinger gets a 2-out walk and is the only base runner for either team in the 5th inning.
0-0 after 5 innings.
Not your typical shutout after 5:
Left on base:
Reds 6
Giants 7
Pitches:
Correia 76
Arroyo 74

Nobody takes pitches in this game?

Dumatrait warming to come into a 0-0 game.

Since becoming a REDS pitcher Arroyo has walked 4 batters in a start 5 times (2 times in 2006 and 3 times in 2007). The REDS have a 0-5 record in those games.
He had never walked more than that in a start for the REDS until tonight.
You know a game is kind of boring when the biggest highlight through 6+ innings is some dummy falling out of his kayak going after a prized Javy foul ball.
Pretty funny though...
With or without Bonds I have long contended that the Giants are baseball's most boring team.
“I don’t care,” Votto said of passing his friend and former teammate. “He’s in the past. Bye-bye, Jay.”
That strike call to Hopper was 8-10 inches outside. Memo to Reds: Never protest a game again. The Reds have been blatantly screwed by the umps in every game since the protest.
Arroyo at 110 pitches.
Scoreless through 7.
