Boxscore
We’re re-watching all the Harry Potter movies leading up to the final chapter coming out in a couple weeks, so we didn’t catch the game tonight. No big deal. It was a rerun anyway.
If you missed it, they’ll be playing this episode again tomorrow at 8:15 p.m. EDT.

This here’s a picture of the Reds who actually lined up for the national anthem at the Tweet Up game on Friday:
Back in the depths of the Reds crapitude, maybe in the Miley era, I remember someone making a big stink about how the troops were defending our country and how the least the team could do was be out there for the anthem, and then suddenly everyone was out there every day.
Clearly, that’s worn off (the degree to which the crapitude has worn off is up for debate).
Not sure if you can tell from the photo, but one of the few who did show up is Joey Votto. It’s not even his flag. His country doesn’t even have an Independence Day, for crying out loud. I realize it’s not the home flag for many of the players, but none of the others showed up on Friday, so they don’t get props. I bet we’ll be seeing more of them today, though.
Happy birthday, America!

Lots of Brewers among the starters and lot of Reds among the reserves, considering that they can’t see to even stay consistently in the top half of the NLC. But that’s the Reds isn’t it? Lots of good pieces, that just aren’t coming together.
I am kind of surprised not to see Johnny Cueto among the pitchers, but that’s typical of the team as well: the good pitchers can’t get any respect.

So far, it’s not looking good.
The Cleveland Indians swept the Cincinnati Reds in Cleveland earlier this season. The best the Reds could hope for was a share of the Ohio Cup. Alas, that was not to be, as even the Reds TweetUp wasn’t enough to overcome the appearance of Bronson Bad-rroyo.
The TweetUp itself made for a great time, and I’ll have some pictures up later. The game, not so much.
The Reds lost 8-2, dooming them to a losing record against Cleveland in 2011. The Reds’ next chance to win their first game of the year against the Indians is this afternoon. Homer Bailey takes the mound at 4:10pm. This time, the Reds will be looking to the totem that is Dusty Baker’s toothpick holding bobble head to provide them with the power to vanquish the Indians. We’ll see if that’s enough.
