Volquez has gotten ridiculous run support this year (only one game less than 8 runs), but he's also pitched excellently to go with that support. So far this year, he hasn't allowed more than one run in an outing, but I suppose it is easier to pitch when you've got a comfortable lead. He still needs to cut down his walks, but that's really the only nit to pick with him so far. At this point the Wagon just keeps on rolling.
Hudson has been solid this year for the Braves, but he's only made it through 3 innings in two different starts. As a team, the Reds have hit him decently in the past, but they have not been able to beat the Braves during a Hudson start. The main reason for that has been the three starters that opposed Hudson, namely Eric Milton, Joe Mays, and Phil Dumatrait. Hopefully Volquez will put up more of a fight.

All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
Must be Votto's night to go to the convienence store and pick up the toothpicks.
Oh Boy! Corey Patterson back in the lead off role. Farney just don’t cut it. W hen’s NoHo back ?... I’d never thought I be so looking forward to seeing Hopper play.
"I'm not a gearhead at all" Danica
And he will
stay in the leadoff role. Baker is gonna play his boy no matter what. Freel is getting hosed and so is the payroll!
I was on a flush draw?!?!?
According to the Fay
Dusty says Freel will start the next two days.

Of course, the Crew just beat United 2-1.

In the year 2000 . . .
In the future, we should have the option of selecting whether we want the advanced broadcasting crew or the remedial broadcasting crew. I hate tuning in to George and Chris and being treated like I’ve never seen a baseball game in my life.
Or we could listen to sMarty and tHonboy bitch at each whole Clownboy drools and yuks it up in the background.

He has his share of adventures in outfielding. Probably just because he was rusty. Though there was one time where I swear, the ball just changed directions in midair. Josh was camped out under it…and missed.
