The Reds announced the lineup for Thursday’s opener vs. Milwaukee (2:10 pm at GABP):

Drew Stubbs cf

Brandon Phillips 2b

Joey Votto 1b

Scott Rolen 3b

Jay Bruce rf

Jonny Gomes lf

Ramon Hernandez c

Paul Janish ss

Edinson Volquez p

* It snowed earlier this afternoon here at Great American Ball Park, with temperatures in the 30s. Milwaukee was to work out between 12-2, came out and long-tossed briefly, then went back inside to hit.

* The Reds’ workout was set for 2-4 p.m., but the team hit inside before coming onto the field for long-toss and some running. The team was on the field for maybe 15-20 minutes, with cold winds whipping. Everyone went back inside again, and more players headed back to the cage.

* Just before 2 p.m., the snow was gone. No accumulation, but it was coming down hard earlier.

“Ain’t nothing you can do about the weather,” Reds manager Dusty Baker said. “(Milwaukee) has got to deal with the elements too.”





Ready to see Votto and Bruce tear shit up!

Why am I working on a holiday?

Sadly, here in NC, it's not a holiday.

This is one of the times I MOST miss living in Cincinnati.

Does anybody no a website the game is going to be live on line to watch.

You can watch all the reds games on MLB.com but it's like 100 bucks a year.

Has Homeland Security classified them as terrorists yet?

my one concern is giving Edison Volquez the start. Opening Days a big day, full of emotion, and Volquez has been a guy who's struggled getting too amped up. You saw that in game 1 of the playoffs.

Volquez is in playoff form. Unfortunately.

Take him out now. Then cut him.

WTF?

Over react much?

Back-to-back jacks for the Brewers to lead off the game.
Their 1st out came on a sac fly. Vloquez also had a wild pitch in the 1st.

Thankfully, the Reds got out of the inning trailing 3-0.

So much for that "gem" from Volquez. I am just hoping for a walk off win now ...

I am sorry. I thought my sarcasm font was working.

You know, I do say stuff sometimes that isn't to be taking literal and/or serious.

It's called joking.

Stubbs with a lead off Double!


*puts rally cap on*

Well after that 2nd Homer and then walk, I was ready for them to take him out.
He looked like he did in the Playoff game. Horrible. I have no confidence in him, at all.


Stubs scores on a sac fly. Votto put a charge into one. But it was to the wrong part of the ballpark.
