Come on Reds lets start a winning streak.

[The Duke]

Read in the paper that Hatte is starting today since it is a lefty. Hopefully Hopper starts in CF as CPatt is a lefty as well, and Hopper deserves some PT to show what he can do.

I like the injuries section you added. Another section you could add could be the line on the game, lets us know what Vegas thinks about it.

[Joey Votto]

Looks like the game will be delayed. Rain is supposed to be here around noon.

Paul Bako C
Johnny Cueto P

[The Duke]

I do like that the lineup is staying consistent, but why on earth are we playing Freel over Hopper? Any reason other than showcasing him for a trade is unacceptable. Freel better increase his OBP by a wide margin over last year if he has any hope of winning any allegiances back.

[JHockey14]

They're getting ready to try and play ball but it doesn't look good. start your rebound year strong freel!

[Joey Votto]

Cueto Watch:

1IP, 0 Hits 0BB 1K

[JHockey14]

Jr. with a bloop double and Phillips brings him home 1-0 reds! Phillips is off to a VERY good season

[reds08]

is there a place where i can listen to the radio without going to mlb.

[JHockey14]

Doug Davis is getting wild out there. as nice as the 2-0 lead is and all the hits, I'd like to get this game in quick so it becomes official in the 6th lol

[JHockey14]

Cueot is looking real good and smooth. He is dealing, 2 IP 0 hits 0 bbs and 3 K's. All of his pitches look to be right on the mark and he hasn't faltered at all. I am mostly interested to see how he does second time through the line up however.

[reds08]

hes just overpowering them, something we haven't seen from a red starter in a long time.

[JHockey14]

Keppinger Gonzo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 3-0 reds i didnt think he had any power lol also .... jeff keppinger is now batting close to .500 there is no way you can send this guy to the bench when alex gonzalez is back and i think Dusty knows this.

[mcwax]

He hits it on a line more often than not but his bat speed overcomes his stature and gives him a little pop if he elevates it. Play da man.
