No winning home record this season.
We'll get 'em next time.
I went to the game downtown tonight and it was a good time even though the Reds couldn't pull off the win. Balentein's HR was a BOMB and the outfielders didn't even move when it went into the air. Guys made some good contact on the balls tonight but they just died midair. Jay hit one that we thought for sure was out of the park and instead it was caught at the wall. A few other guys hit the ball well but just missed getting a hit or HR (Drew and Justin Lehr both hit rockets that we caught at the wall). Joey missed out on a double in his third at bat when Milledge had to have strained his groin running and stretching out to catch it in left. He was moving around and looking gimpy for the rest of that inning, LOL Justin settled down to pitch pretty decently after looking VERY rough in the early innings. I give him props for keeping it close and only giving up the three runs. The relievers did a nice job tonight (Burton looked really good which is nice to see since I'd like to see him be part of the bullpen next year) and I'm glad none of them threw a lot of pitches so they didn't get used up too much. It was freaking FREEZING in the ballpark (we were up in the View level in the third row) so I'm glad I remembered to bring my jacket this time! We're probably going to the game again tomorrow night (and hitting the HOF for the first time all season) and we have great seats for the season finale on Sunday afternoon. I hope I get to see wins in both those games and I'm definitely looking forward to the Sunday afternoon game since it shouldn't be in the 50s temperature wise like tonight, LOL
Hope you guys behaved in the game thread tonight!

Heather, you know you can sit pretty much wherever you want, right? Just last week on a Friday night, me and a buddy bought $5 bleacher seat tickets and proceeded to sit down along the 3rd base line in the 100 level seats. Since there's about 46 people at the game, the ushers don't even bother checking anybody's tickets.
Of course, I'm not sure it'll be any warmer down there, but you will be closer to the action!
Yeah, I know we could have moved but we were having fun with the people around us so we just stayed put last night. We have seats in the sections behind the Reds dugout tonight and tomorrow night so we'll be good for the rest of the weekend. We would have moved last night but we were right behind home plate so we could see the game just fine (and my mom didn't feel like moving either, LOL). I honestly don't know if it would have been warmer down there or not because the wind was whipping through everywhere, LOL

Heather, make sure you bring the good mojo with you. I'd like to see our boys go out on a high note this year. Let's take the last 2!
Oh, and have fun!
