Guitar Solo, Reds 4-3

When reading the recap, I was surprised to learn that this was the first time this season that the Reds have won the first game of a series. It only took 9, nice job team. A lot of the credit has to go, of course, to my main man Dusty, but also Arroyo for not simply phoning it in tonight. I saw his fastball velocity was in the 91-92 range. That's hot, hot to the touch. But beware, outings like this result in increased expectations.

The offense still isn't all that interested in scoring runs, but the 4 was enough tonight. Eddie had one legitimate double and one which can be attributed to the Cardinals' poor night vision. If you look closely at both Duncan and Izturis' driver's licenses you will see in bold writing that they are not allowed to operate a vehicle after dusk much less try and field fly balls. The author missed seeing Skip Schumaker out there doing what he does. Maybe tomorrow. That's a nice start against a divisional opponent, keep it up tomorrow. Reds! Reds! Reds!
