Whip me, beat me, take away my charge card, Bronson Arroyo pitched a complete game! Reds win 3-0!

I don't have time to do a whole wrap tonight, so I'll give you the quick details:
- Bronson Arroyo told us all to shut up a bit. He's got this. Personally, I only plan to shut up for a week or so. His complete game was the second for him this season. The complete game shutout was the second by a Reds pitcher this season. Aaron Harang had the other one.
- Joey Votto told us all that if you want offense, you know who to come see. His home run to lead off the fourth extended his hitting streak to 13 games.
- Brandon Phillips carries American Express. He never steals home without it. His steal of home in the 4th was the first that I can find since Adam Dunn did the deed in 2004 as part of a double steal. Surely that's not right, but I can't find another example on Baseball-Reference. Somebody correct me when you hear differently.
- Laynce Nix popped in the daynce mix and the Reds party was in full swing when he hit his 8th home run of the season in the 6th.
It wasn't a banner offensive night, but with Joe Nuxhall Memorial Honorary Star of the Game Bronson Arroyo on the mound, it was enough to take home the win. Thankfully, the Mets are struggling much more at the plate right now than the Reds.

"The key to Bronson Arroyo's season is clearly facing a team that can't hit too well."
So THAT’S how all those shitty NL pitchers keep beating us.
Eighty-five percent of the f*ckin' world is working. The other fifteen percent come out here. A f*ckin' playground for the cocks*ckers.

Yes.
David Wright and the Seven Dwarfs is about the right description of the lineup that faced Bronson.
And Adam Dunn's spirit, ranging for revenge / With Ate by his side come hot from hell, / Shall in these confines with a monarch's voice / Cry 'Havoc,' and let slip the dogs of war...

Nice work, Arroyo.
I’m glad we won this game. ‘Cause even though the Mets suck like a black hole, I’m kinda nervous about Cueto vs. Santana tomorrow.

I wanna stay at this hotel
‘Haunted’ Milwaukee hotel scares MLB teams
MILWAUKEE – First Carlos Gomez heard voices. Then he watched his iPod go haywire after he got out of the shower, sending him scrambling for the lobby without stopping to put on his pants and shoes.
After last year’s experience, the Minnesota Twins outfielder didn’t want to go back to Milwaukee’s Pfister Hotel. But Gomez had to stay there when the Twins were in town to play the Milwaukee Brewers last month, so he brought some protection: Teammate-turned-roommate Francisco Liriano and a Bible.
