"We want to be the band to dance to when the bomb drops." - Simon Le Bon of Duran Duran
1-0 Astros after two innings.
Good swing by Votto.
Votto doubles to begin the third.
Another 400 foot flyout this time by Ross. Votto moves to third.
There's another 400 foot out to CF.
Games are won on run differential -- scoring more than your opponent. Runs are runs, scored or prevented they all count the same. Worry about scoring more and allowing fewer, not which positions contribute to which side of the equation or how "consistent" you are at your current level of performance.
According to Astros' announcers, Jolbert Cabrera is the reason the Reds can afford to carry three catchers.
In other (real) news, Twins DFA Adam Everett.
"The problem with strikeouts isn't that they hurt your team, it's that they hurt your feelings..." --Rob Neyer
"The single most important thing for a hitter is to get a good pitch to hit. A good hitter can hit a pitch that’s over the plate three times better than a great hitter with a ball in a tough spot.”
--Ted Williams
Arroyo doubles to score Votto. 1-1.
Yeah, I hate this park.
I'm cheering for Corey to break futility records this year. The next time Dusty makes a suggestion on a player, the GM just has to say, "remember what you said Corey Patterson would bring to the team."
What happened to the Juice Box and Earned Run Field?
Two out solo homerun by Tejada makes it 2-1 Astros in the third.
Tejada with a reminder.

That ball just landed in Cincinnati..
I think that ball would've been gone pretty much anywhere on the earth where there is a baseball field...Tejada with a reminder.
I'm so confused. The Astros announcers keep talking about Dunn like he's a very good player who would be an asset to any team. Don't they know he hates baseball and strikes out a lot?
