Ryan Howard. 1-3 with a home run, RBI, and a walk. No one was a particular standout in this game, and Howard's solo shot to open the scoring turned out to be the margin of victory.
Key Plays
- Howard leads off the second inning with a home run.
- Jay Bruce counters with one of his own to tie things in the fourth.
- Cueto lets the fifth inning get away from him, giving up a leadoff double to Pedro Feliz, and a single to Hamels. Always a bad sign when you can't retire the pitcher. A double to Rollins, single to Utley, and sac fly to Ibanez gave the Champs a 4-1 lead.
- The Reds fought back in the sixth, with Hairston's fourth homer of the year, followed by a triple from Phillips and a sac fly from Hernandez made it a one run game.
- The Phillies shaky 'pen was up to the task, and Brad Lidge closed the door as Willy Taveras and Hairston were unable to capitalize with two men on and one out.
via FanGraphs
Other Notes
- Taveras and Bruce each struck out three times. Rosales had two strikeouts.
- Cueto did not walk a batter.
- Arthur Rhodes has an ERA+ of 624. That is lower than his ERA+ for last season.
- The Reds went 0-7 with RISP.
- Johnny Cueto + Cole Hamels + the World Series Champions + $1 seats = 18,449.

So infuriating
to spoil so many damn opportunities.
Gotta get em’ tomorrow. And I mean we absolutely have to.
"Carpe Diem"
The Reds got to get Ronald McDonald
and his Corey Patterson like batting average off this team..Dude is OPSing under .500. (I know small sample size) If we aren’t going to DL Votto, then you have to bring someone up that can atleast hit. Not throw out your light hitting, 6th outfielder each day you face a lefty pitcher.

I know Im cheating but I am counting Hairston as an OF ( for those who question my 6th OF remark
1. Bruce
2. Nix
3. Dickerson
4. Taveras
5. Hairston
6. Ronald Mc F-n Donald.
Find me on MySpace- http://www.myspace.com/mixfmkyle
The rest of us have to stop blaming the 25th man on the roster
for a losing streak. It’s not McDonald and his 20 AB’s on the season’s fault
i dont think anyone is blaming McDonald for the losing streak
he just isnt a good enough baseball player to be on the team.
no one is really going to complain much when we are kicking ass, but a losing streak is surely going to bring out these kind of sentiments. so it’s not that McDonald is being blamed, just that it is easy to rail on him when we are losing than when we are winning. but the fact remains that whether we are winning or not, McDonald doesnt belong.

beautiful night for a ballgame
i still dont think cincy draws terribly well on weeknights until school is out.
i was up in the 500 section and it was pretty damn full, possibly thanks to a kid glove promotion. but the lower bowl and 2nd level were barely 1/2 full, if that. and the LF and RF seats had plenty of room for crickets.

it was a two inning wait for chow. i bought batteries for the dig cam and might have some good pics to post tomorrow if i figure out how to post an Eyewitness Report with photos. it will probably have to wait until the weekend as i have knothole games the next few nights.

Game report
Went down to the game with my wife and kid tonight. Beautiful evening to watch some baseball. PERFECT weather.
- I thought there would be more people in the stands. When we got there, it seemed like there were a lot of people going into the park. Walking around the concourses, it seemed like there were a lot of people in the park. Sitting in my seat? Not so much.
- Walked down to my seat just after Ryan Howard hit his home run. The game moves at a different pace when you are dragging a 3-year old along.
- The guy behind me called the Bruce shot just before the pitch was thrown. We immediately burned him for he was a witch. My son learned a lot about science at that game.
- I took my boy for a walk before the 5th inning. I did not see the Phillies score a run tonight.
- I did see Cherry go deep though. It was a “LASER”.
- GABP has allowed the fewest triples in the National League over the last 3 seasons combined. I’ve seen a triple at both games I’ve attended this year. In both cases, I knew it was a triple pretty much off the bat. That’s fun!
- Adam Rosales and Willy Taveras might have nightmares about Cole Hamels tonight. They seemed to be scared of him when they were batting.
- Did I mention that the weather was beautiful? Absolutely perfect. No doubt about it.
"It seems like we're not hitting because we're not getting hits." - Dusty being Dusty
Adam Rosales looks pretty overmatched against every major league pitcher
I bet he wouldn’t if he was facing minor league pitchers.
"We, as for me all seasons you are affected peculiarly in the edge of my seat and are happy concerning the fact that the Adam Dunn fan has been mixed up exactly." - Reynard-san
so by your count the reds won?

i had the worst seats ever
we were there at 545 waiting for the gates to open. the stade was empty until the first inning, then the upper bowl filled up nicely. i hate, hate, hate seats in the 500’s.

As a protest against:
1, O’Doule McFluffy being on the team
2. Alberto Gonales getting to start
3,The lack of a RH power bat on the Bench (other than Micah who is used only randomly)
4, The concept of bunting versus stealing
5. The concept of playing the game the ‘right way’
6.Unending tactical blunders
7. Gomes in AAA
8. Walt and the DL
9.The lack of using Jannish
10. You can fill in the rest
I have changed my avatar.
It is the only thing I can do to try and change the way things are going right now.

I also went down
hattip to bank of america and giving me free tickets in section 130.
I ate at rock bottom and walked down to the game at about 6:20, and like Slyde I felt like there were a lot of people walking down to the park.
White trash behind me, who had his family in tow. He loved that Rosales ran to first when he walked, and pretty much uttered non-sense all night.
I’m glad I didn’t pay to see McDonald play, he really needs to go back down to the farm.
I was a little annoyed when Cueto pitched the 6th, and really annoyed when he pitched the 7th, but his pitch count didn’t get out of control and he didn’t blow up, but still Dusty was playing with fire tonight.
Coco actually pitched a scoreless inning in a non-safe situation.
Why did Dusty let McDonald hit in the 9th, he shoulda used Nix in his spot, and used Owings in the pitchers spot.

i sat behind you?!?
love that Rosales spring to first! i think he’s a useful bench player on a good team.
McDonald does have a decent arm for a LF. Thats all i can say positive about him.

nice to see the Reds went over the 50% win ratio based on a scoreless first inning. good times.

I was at the game.
I really, really wanted to see Votto pinch hit in the 9th, especially against RHP Lidge. Even in the games he left due to dizziness, he still was crushing the ball, and he can handle 1 AB, can’t he? Taveras has been rubbish for the last 4 games now.
He sits alone...Reds are not home.
I hate you

So Gomes has 9 HRs and his OPS has topped .900
Is there any conceivable reason he doesn’t swap places with McDonald right now?

There seem to be several common sense moves
that pose very little risk to the wellbeing of the team and might net a win or two. Call up Gomes, Give Janish and Hairston the bulk of the starts at short so AGon can do some soul searching (or go on the DL), Stick with Hanigan at C /Hernandez at 1B til Votto is back

Tuesday night is not a big attendance night unless you give away 5,000 tickets.
18,000 ain’t great but,,,,

18,000 fans?
How should we expect to not loose Cueto to the Yankees, or Bruce or Votto, when we only bring in 18,000 people with $1 ticket night?

there were only 700 $1 tickets available
"It seems like we're not hitting because we're not getting hits." - Dusty being Dusty
And, what most people aren't considering
that there was one booth at the ballpark selling them, and you had to say the catchphrase to get them. Which means you had to go down to the ballpark during the day, because all reports said they were going to sell out by early afternoon. Unless you live near the ballpark and don’t have anything going on during the day, the $1 tickets were pretty useless. They put those $1 tickets online, and notify fans via email, and they put 25,000 in the park.

plan B
The $5 Outer View ducats sold only the day of the game.

they are not only sold on the day of the game
you can buy them any time now. For instance, they are available online.
