The Reds are quite terrible, but fortunately the Giants are also terrible. 6-3 for the Redlegs. Random observations:

  • I go to a game with Barry Bonds, Ken Griffey Jr., and Adam Dunn, and it’s Bronson Arroyo that hits a home run?
  • Josh Hamilton is really a great reclamation for the Reds, just as Brandon Phillips was last year.
  • At .249/.308/.357, Ryan Freel is running the risk of no longer being the best Scrappy White Guy(TM) in baseball. Then again, since the primary characteristic of a Scrappy White Guy is the combination of suckitude with inexplicable popularity, maybe he’s doing just fine. Also, I don’t know that having “Tom’s Diner” as your intro song really strikes fear into the hearts of opposing pitchers.
  • People always said that Seattle had bad weather for baseball, but in my limited experience with the Reds I’ve had a couple thunderstorm related rain delays, a painful 30 degree gametime temp in April, and a nasty, sweltering 95 with high humidity. Acknowledging that the roof is necessary in Seattle, I’d still say that it has the best baseball weather possible in July and August.
  • Is the Alex Gonzalez playing for the Reds the “good” Alex Gonzalez, or the “bad” Alex Gonzalez? Does that question even make sense to non-fantasy baseball enthusiasts?
  • Jeff Conine is still in the Majors?
  • It must have been tough growing up as Jon Coutlangus.

That is all.
