Ah, great minds think alike AKW. :banana:

Updates from around the NL:

 

Cards lead the Dodgers 3-0 after 3 innings.

Houston trails the Marlins 2-0 heading to the 5th.

Brewers and D-backs tip off at 9:40 eastern time.

I wonder if there is a small part of Narron that hopes Harang's great night hits a rough spot so he can take his new bully for a spin? :lol:

I may have jinxed poor Aaron, top of the 7th, no one out, and men on first and second.

Closser bunts them over, 2nd and 3rd with 1 out. Reds still lead 3-0.

Harang is approaching 100 pitches and is having a hard time finding the strike zone.

The Rockies entire bench tonight has hit a cumulative 7 home runs this year. Just noticed that. Shocking.

Aaron battles back to strike out Sullivan. 2nd and 3rd, 2 outs, pitchers spot coming up -- Piedra will pinch hit. He is batting .158 with 2 bombs on the season.

The Rockies bench -- no one with more than 2 home runs and no one hitting over .248. That is anemic. Holy Cow.

 

Predictably........Harang strikes out Piedra looking to end the inning.

 

3-0 Reds heading to the bottom of the 7th.

Wow........I just looked at Hatteberg's season stats.......only 17 K's in almost 300 plate appearances. That's almost unheard of in this day and age.:creepy:

Does no one else find the Rockies' bench to be a joke, especially for a team squawking about the wild card?

My avatar is on to pitch in the 8th.

 

I knew Narron was itching to give this new thing a spin. Harang throws 7 shut-out innings.

Yikes, the first 2 men reach on base-hits, first and third and Helton is up as the tying run.

 

Not what Castellini / Krivsky / Narron was hoping for as a debut after the somewhat controversial trade.

Helton hits sac fly, 3-1 Reds, one out, man on first.

 

 

Holliday flies out. 2 out, man on first, Garrett Atkins coming up.

He'll be fine, it's just nerves. Almost like a rookie taking the hill for the first time.
