Over/Under Game

Now that the Super Bowl is over, we can get back to baseball... except that for us Reds fans, we likely won't have any actual news to discuss - it'll mainly be longing for a decent SS or another good outfielder.

As such, I propose a game.  I know I'm pirating the game off an SB blog that I follow, though I'm not sure if it is this one or another one.  However, since I am no longer in school, I'm not naming my source!

It goes like this, I propose an over/under.  The first responder gives his/her opinion, and proposes his/her own over/under.  It could be anything from player production and statistics, # pitchers Dusty sends to the DL, attendence, other teams' wins, etc.  If you feel so inclined, give a little reason for your opinion.

So, batting leadoff is the following over/under:

Jay Bruce, 30 HR's.
