Top 1: The clock was up instead of the pitch count and radar gun for Ross, so I didn't see where Bronson's fastball was. Nice play by Hairston as Hermida's ball goes off Arroyo's glove, and Hiarston picked it up and made the play for the second out. The other thing you like to see with Arroyo is getting ahead of hitters, throwing first-ptich strikes. I didn't see anything above 86, but a pretty easy inning nonetheless. Redlegs 0, Teallegs 0

Bottom 1: Maybe it's just the Reds shortstop position. Hairston doubles. I still said Jay Bruce shoulda been called up and put No. 3 in the lineup playing shortstop! One thing Hairston can do that Keppinger doesn't consistently is steal bases. Not even a throw from Mr. Misty May on Hairston's steal of third. Walk for BP brings up Votto in an RBI situation. Can I tell you how much I hate the "Everybody clap your hands" song? Seriously. Ugh. That started at Shea, right? Has anything good ever started at Shea Stadium? Redlegs 0, Teallegs 0

Top 2: In the booth with Marty. Check you after this half-inning.

* Bottom 2: Heard someone in the crowd heckling Arroyo with a "JTM" chant. He really should come up to that song once. I think he'd be booed beyond belief. Redlegs 0, Teallegs 0

* Top 3: Man, did Joey Votto ever go a long, long way to try to get that foul pop up by Ross. He was over by the back end of the tarp. Not many first basemen make it there. Then Ross walks. Ruh roh. Or not. Fly out, 6-3 DP. 44 pitches for Arroyo. Redlegs 0, Teallegs 0

* Bottom 3: Our second "Everybody Clap Your Hands" of the night. Ugh. C'mon Dave. I guess maybe this is punishment for getting Rilo Kiley before the game. Redlegs 0, Teallegs 0

* Mr. Red's Race: It's Mr. Redlegs win, Rosie Red place, Mr. Red show. Why does Mr. Red wear the old uniform?

* Top 4: Nice gesture by the Reds -- between innings, they showed Tony Perez, the Hall of Famer and former Red is the Marlins Special Assistant to the President and on this trip. There was a shot of him on the scoreboard in a box and they played Happy Birthday. Happy 66th Doggie. JAYYYY-TEEEE-EMMMMMM. A walk to Uggla, but nothing else. Redlegs 0, Teallegs 0

* Bottom 4: Wow, the Aflac trivia question -- what five players have the most career RBI that never led their league? Willie Mays (wow!), Rafael Palmeiro (doesn't surprise me), Frank Thomas (kinda does), Cal Ripken Jr. (doesn't surprise me) and Tony Perez (for some reason doesn't surprise me). Redlegs 0, Teallegs 0

* Top 5: Yeah.. You don't see that every day. So, after Mr. Misty May singles, Nolasco lays down a sac bunt. Joey Votto's throw to second is off target for the first error. Then an E8 as Patterson missed the ball, Mr. May scooted around third and was thrown out at home from Patterson. Nolasco went to second on the throw home. Then two Ks. Redlegs 0, Teallegs 0

* Bottom 5: Change to the official score, no E3. They're basically saying the runner would have been safe at second with a good throw. I don't agree, but it's close enough. I think a good throw gets him. But, to quote my favorite line from my favorite movie (or one of 'em), 'who gives a ****, it's gone.' Two-out infield hit by Patterson and hten steals second. Triple for Hairston, juuuust past Hermida in right. Intentional walk to Griffey. I know everyone else yells about Griffey and says he's done. Other teams don't seem to think so. Seriously, how slow is this for a 1-0 game? Why hold Griffey on here? There's a huge hole on the right side of the field. And Nolasco goes to the outside on his first pitch. Of course, BP usually swings out of his shoes on his first swing, so maybe that's why they're giving him the other way. And he goes the other way to score Hairston. Nice piece of hitting there. Nolasco is done. Kensing gets Votto looking, but the Reds lead. Redlegs 2, Teallegs 0

* Top 6: Didn't get to it last night in the drinking game, but if the umpire makes the right call and idiots boo, drink. Ramirez doubles to left-center. It's the first extra base hit of the night for the Fish. Some people thought Patterson's throw to second got him. It didn't. Patterson did get him at third as he tried to tag up. The ol' 8-5 DP. This time the umpire got wrong, it looked like he got the foot in there. The ball beat him, that's for sure. And Uggla follows with a double. 96 pitches for Bronson. Redlegs 2, Teallegs 0

* Bottom 6: Speaking of Major League -- that one was "too high" and "too hard" -- Holy crap, Dunn hit it a mile high. They call it 364 feet, but it was higher. That's 245, putting him in fifth alone on the Reds all-time list ahead of George Foster. Only fitting, my friend Josh was wearing his George Foster jersey today. Bako singles and it looks like Arroyo's going to go out for hte seventh. I thought they may pull him with 96 pitches and on short rest. Redlegs 2 + 1 'useless run', Teallegs 0

* Top 7: Wow, goes to show what I know, Bronson strikes out the side. 111 pitches. JAYYYYY-TEEE-EMMMMM! Redlegs 3, Teallegs 0

* Bottom 7: Justin Miller in for the Marlins. Nice night for Hairston. Another hit. He's 3-for-4 with an RBI. RBI double for Griffey. Basehit and E5 for Phillips, No RBI. Really, really nice baserunning on EE's groundout. Great baserunning. The Marlins are just terrible defensively. That's why they may be playing well now, but their defense and starting pitching aren't going to last and make them a serious contender. Their bats, though, they can hit. Redlegs 6, Teallegs 0

Top 8: Mike Lincoln in for the Reds. Janish to short, Hairston to left and Lincoln in Dunn's spot. Janish will bat second in the bottom of the 8th. Just like that, the first ball in play for Janish as a big leaguer is right to him. A groundout by Ross. The second is also to him and a nice play to his right. Redlegs 6, Teallegs 0

Bottom 8: Why Dave Storm played 'Mother' for Janish, I don't know. But I will say, I do love that song. Big ovation for him after flying out to deep left. He shook his head right after hitting it. Maybe Dave read on my blog that Janish's mom, Debbie, was in the house. Maybe. 1-2-3 inning for Miller. Redlegs 6, Teallegs 0

Top 9: Lincoln back out. Two singles and a double by Gonzalez breaks up the shutout, making it 6-1. Cordero and Bray warming up. Lincoln then hits Helms to load them and he's done. Boos for Lincoln. Cordero in. Might as well. Single by Treanor. 6-3. Jacobs, pinch hitting, Ks. Ross looks at ball 2 on a 1-2 count. The crowd boos, but it was the right call by Larry Vanover. Wow. And then he hits a bomb to tie it up. 6-6. Ugh. Just as I had finished up my postgame quicktake. That's the first blown save of the season for the Reds. Marlins bat around. Cordero gets booed for the first time as a Red. Redlegs 6, Teallegs 6, seriously.

Bottom 9: Lefty Renyel Pinto in. Hairston walks. Good time for 598? It would have been. A fielder's choice wasn't what anyone had in mind. Griffey's out and Ryan Freel at first. 6-4-3 DP, Phillips' fifth of the season. Redlegs 6, Teallegs 6

Top 10: Jared Burton in. 1-2-3. But I wouldn't be happy with the nonchalance by Phillips on the last out if I were Dusty, not when your team just blew a 6-run lead in the ninth. Redlegs 6, Teallegs 6

Bottom 10: Just the other day, I was talking about how Hey Ya may be the best pop song of the last... well, I couldn't pick a time period. But Dave Storm just reminded me. It may have been since Song 2 by Blur. And now it's raining. Perfect. Wow, what does it say about Dusty Baker's confidence in Javy Valentin that he sends David Ross up to pinch hit for Burton. Ross walks on four straight. Bako up next. Not that you want to put the winning run on second, but I'd rather face a guy in his second big-league at-bat than Bako right now. Ball five, ball six, ball seven, ball eight. Perhaps they agreed with me. How perfect would this story be? Johnny Cueto running for Ross. OK. Janish wins it! And this one belongs to the Reds
