Went to the game last night - it was a good time. Too bad more people don't show up. I was kinda disappointed to show up to find Dusty rolling out one of BaBoone's Sunday Special lineups, but it's understandable given the way the last few days have gone. It was good to see the bench guys contribute to the win.

With Alex Gonzalez still out but on the 25-man roster, E5 on the DL, and Phillips and Votto both in the clubhouse with the flu, Dusty didn't have many options. Thank goodness it didn't go into extra innings.

Ramon played 1B pretty well, considering he'd never done it before. He showed some flexibility with his stretches to field some throws that were wide and had that nice leaping grab to end the game.

Definitely. He dropped the one throw on the back end of an early would-be double play, but more than made up for it throughout the rest of the game.

Jason Kendall has one functioning ankle with a full range of movement, and he wasn't that fast to begin with even before the compound dislocation he suffered in '99.

I disagree with this statement. Part of Kendall's game before the injury was his ability to run. Between 1996 and 2000 he recorded stolen base totals of 18 (caught stealing 6 times), 26 (5 caught), 22 (three caught...only played in 77 games)and 22 (with 12 caught stealing...this is the year after the injury).
I'm not saying he was every Rickey Henderson, but as far as catchers went, he was considered to be fast and he did run pretty well.

Love beating the Cards with a starting infield of Hernandez, Hairston, Janish, and Rosales -- a career catcher, a marginal utility player, and two guys that probably haven't decided whether to sign leases on apartments in Cincinnati yet. Two days in a row with the entire starting infield unavailable, and they've managed to hang 6 both nights.

Was a good win but still. Weathers almost ruined it haha. But leave it to Co co to bring us a win :P

Stormy Weathers has one of those in him every month. Rhodes will do it too ... here's hoping the lead is big enough when it happens that the Reds overcome it.
