Reds win! Reds win!

The bullpen did a good job last night getting out of some hairy situations. I am glad we got Votto back. Johnny Gomes is a clutch hitter. Phillips is such a great defender.

There's some new jackass over on the cincinnati.com forums saying that Votto's injury was really another nervous breakdown. If it was another mental episode, I don't think Votto would have still been sitting in the dugout during the games that he sat out. Neck injuries are serious business, so stiffness in the neck should not be taken lightly.

Andy, now we have to wait for Adam to chime in that Stubbs sucks since he got a sacrifice fly and not a HR.

What an idiot. I bet it is pretty hard to hit a 96mph fastball with a stiff neck.

Hard to hit anything if you can't turn your head to see the ball.

Stubbs is on a hot streak, he has raised his average to ~.230 and now has the 14th best average on the team, passing Homer Bailey.

:-) :-) It is nice to see the avg rise but I would really like to see him do this for another 10-15 games before I jump on the Stubbs bandwagon.

:-) He still strikes out way too often and leaves runners on base in important situations. His fielding has also been a little more than suspect lately. I still question why he is an everyday player when he seems to have more than a few things to work on.
