7/26 Reds vs Astros (Ed E's been let out of the cage)

[missionhockey21]

Weathers is in. WHIPtastic.

[missionhockey21]

Wilson with a popup to Clayton.

[missionhockey21]

Lane strikesout.

[missionhockey21]

Ausmus is caught looking. Watch it Weathers, you might get your K/BB respectable if you keep doing that.

[missionhockey21]

Lidge is in.

[missionhockey21]

Hatteberg pulls a grounder into RF for a basehit.

[missionhockey21]

Ahead 1-2, Lidge plunks Freel. Two on.

[missionhockey21]

Valentin to pinch-hit. Can he come through?

[missionhockey21]

Wild pitch and the runners advance.

[missionhockey21]

Valentin is set down swinging on that nasty Lidge slider.

[missionhockey21]

Lidge is out and Miller is in for the lefty-lefty matchup. That's not too much faith in your closer with a three run lead. Interestinf decision.

[missionhockey21]

Griffey with a bloop that's caught by Biggio for the second out.

[missionhockey21]

Miller is out as Garner knows Aurilia's splits.

Wheeler is in.

[missionhockey21]

Aurilia goes chasing and the Reds lose it by the score of 8-5. 5.5 back of the Cardinals and the WC race gets even tighter.

I am out, not like I anyone was here with me, but later.

[CincyRedsFan30]

I would have been here if I didn't have work.

Anyway, not a good game. We can't have Arroyo losing too many games down the stretch and I have no clue whye Narron left him in so long. It's like he thinks just because he is usually good that he MUST pitch at least 6 or 7 IP, even if he doesn't have it one night.

Batting Clayton second is a joke of course. And Griffey's OBP is now down to .288.
