  A win today makes this a highly successful roadtrip! Making up 2.5 games on a west coast trip would be huge.

  .....only if you don't follow it up by laying an egg at home versus Toronto

  Like this start time, i'll be able to watch the whole game. Gettin ready to move out to Jersey is killing me, but I should be able to be home at 3 today
  
  Anyone got an AC thingy they wanna give me? lol 100 bucks is not something I want to spend, but damnit I need air conditioning
• Ironman92

  

  If you don't have money for an air conditioner....you won't have the money to pay for the electric it uses.
  
  Sucks without air. I've not used my air conditioning unit the past 2 days here in southern Ohio....low humidity and 75 degrees....love it
• SportsAndLady

  

  I have money for it, just don't wanna spend it lol sucks when they tell you tehy have AC...but all that means is they have a window that you can put an AC thing (what the fuck are those called, I keep calling them things) in.
  
  We haven't used AC the last couple days too, here in cinci at my parents place. Very low humidity. Makes our pool cold as chit.

  Bite the bullet and shell it out to stat comfortable.
  
  That is bullshit advertising.

  1944 throwbacks today. Reds going for sweep. It has been a dream watching the reds here at dodger stadium. A sweep would be icing on the cake.

  The all-left fielder outfield!
• Midstate01

  

  This lineup is so f'd up. But the unis are pretty sweet. But With this lineup against billingsly, I see a big ole L. Hope I'm wrong.
• Ironman92

  

  Lewis in RF scares me...but Bruce looked retarded last night on that ball.....so we'll see
• Midstate01

  

  Can't decide which broadcast to watch today. Skully is awesome.
• Ironman92

  

  This construction of the lineup is probably my biggest problem with Dusty.
  
  No Stubbs? He likely does need a day off....but he just had one of his best all around games of the year yesterday....the day before he was 0-5 with an atrocious all-around game......today he sits but is 4/9 off the starting pitcher
  
  I think Phillips needs a rest.....but he is batting 4th with a 4/22 career off of Billingsley
  
  Does Janish need a day off....maybe, but how about on a day when Renteria isn't 1/12 off the starting pitcher???....and then bat him so he can get teh 2nd most at bats!
  
  You wanna sit Bruce...eh OK....but keept the top 3 in the lineup the same as everyday and have Rolen bat 4th...he hits Billingsley
  
  
  Now watch Phillips have a big day batting 4th and Dusty put him back there and keep putting Joe Schmoe batting 2nd.
  
  Players defiantely need days off....but don't schedule it a month in advance....keep them in there against guys they drill.

  Scully...not to be the police or anything...but the HOF deserves it.
• Ironman92

  

  Not a good sign for the pitchers! Jerry Davis called 3 straight outside corner strikes.....but called them all balls....then called a strike on the outside corner to Votto that wasnt close......so lefties bewarre...righties, don't chase!
• Midstate01

  

  They have the day off tomorrow. Are they all big pussies?? Or does dusty think they need multiple days off???
  Stupid!
• Ironman92

  

  Good job Dusty....Votto whiffs and Renteria gets thrown out by a mile.....
  
  Votto has looked awful the first several at bats about the whole road trip....he'll bust one in the 7th innings....but he's looked awful early in games.....but Dusty isn't going on feeling when he should.....just when he shouldn't.
• Ironman92

  

  MS....it's all Dusty
  
  
  Keepin his boys fresh....just not worried about any matchups or anything.
• Ironman92

  

  Gordon's speed may have made Renteria think a little much and an immidiate error
• Ironman92

  

  lol....they gave him a hit...unbelievable
• Ironman92

  

  next play the 12 year old gets hung out to dry...out at 2nd
• Ironman92

  

  changed it to an error on Renteria.....duh...but it would've been damn close at 1st
• Ironman92

  

  2 out double by Ethier
