GDT 4/19/12-Reds (Arroyo) @ Cardinals (Wainwright) 12:45 CDT

[BW23]

Nice to jump all over our main "competition" within the division early in the year and put them in their place. Plus no quality starts from Carp or Waino? Whodathunkit?

Not only that, they've played well against this competition, and they have 12 of their next 15 against the Astros, Pirates and Cubs. The other 3 are home games against Milwaukee.

Really time to set up the entire season if they handle business against the bottom half of the division.

That should also be in the Thler sliding thread.

[Freed Roger]

Freese needs another day off?

Yeah, I'm not liking that. He'll go soft.

[tlombard]

I can only listen through the MLB At Bat app and it sure sounded like they were going to get him at first with how calm Mike Shannon was.

[cpebbles]

Get some runs, because Wainwright's location sucks again.

Furcal has got pixie dust coming out of every pore. The number of little dinks that have been falling in this series...
