I'm currently in Ohio for not so good circumstances and have had diiiiiiiiiiiaaaaaaaaaaaaaallllllll up internet access, but like I told We Heart the Reds, at least I got to watch two Reds games, two winning Reds games, on Fox Sports Ohio rather than the internet. Man, they look good. They fielded their A team, almost the Opening Day lineup, and Arroyo made his first start in a Reds uniform. He didn't do too well, giving up 5 earned runs, but it was one of those days where he was making good pitches and the batters were getting lucky, like the time when a Twins player hit a broken bat double down the line that scored a couple. Dunn hit two out, Griffey hit one out and hit the game winning single, and LaRue hit one out for a positively delightful offensive day.
I wish I could say the same for the Nationals, who continue to lose even as the regulars are starting to play, and they are losing because they are booting balls all over the field and have a case of the Chuck Knoblauchs, though Bowden doesn't seem to be too worried. But I think we've already established the fact that Bodes isn't the brightest baseball man out there.
Opening Day is in the air, even as the snow falls here in Southwest Ohio.
Commentary on baseball and society, baseball and philosophy, baseball and history, and baseball and baseball.
