Joe Nuxhall Memorial Honorary Star of the Game
Joey Votto, once again! In 5 PAs, he walked, singled, and homered. Scott Rolen did almost as well, with a single and a home run in 4 PAs. But alas, no walk.
Key Plays
- I guess I could go through some of the many runs that the Dodgers scored here, but I really don't feel like it. But check this out:
Huh. Looking back at it, it seems like we might have had a chance for much of this game.
Other Notes
- I vaguely recall the Reds leading at some point. I may have made this up.
- There was an odd play, though, when Harang came up with the bases loaded and two out and singled to right field. Ethier did a great job of selling that he actually caught it, and Harang was called out. The Dodgers then left the field, but the umps conferred, then ruled it a single. Only one run scored, though, despite that it looked like two would have scored had it been ruled a single originally. Not that this mattered in the end or anything.
- The last few innings of this one really sucked. If I didn't have to teach tomorrow, I might be as get as drunk as Madville by this point.
