another extra inning game. no runs have been scored thru 11 complete innings.

trot is up. trot does not look comfortable at the plate. since a double back in game one of the series, i cannot recall him putting a ball in play. lots of half swings and weak foul balls. but he walks to start the 12th. jhonny is up. he has yet to collect a hit so far today. wow, a scarafice bunt. holy cow. now it is up to the defensive hero from last night's game, franklyn gutierrez. michaels to third on a wild pitch! the rook has been in some pretty tough, late game AB's lately. thrown out at the plate! inning ending double play. what a game! still no score.

i will give cincy major props for their D. not just today, but all series. that was josh hamilton's second nice play in center today. he made a diving catch on a liner off the bat of pinch hitter travis hafner, extending pronk's hard luck series at the plate.

now the defensive hero is up to bat, with runners at first and second, one out. wow. a deep fly to our defensive hero, franklyn. and the runners did not tag. but there are two out. and matt miller is making his '07 debut.

it is not a good debut. first pitch, single. game over. we loose the series, being shut out by the reds in 12 innings. and no off day. instead, we are off back up to cleveland to make up game #2 against the mariners. then we get to go down to florida to play the marlins.

sigh.
