Great game...

Right, so my fantasy team didn't get any help from either Troy Glaus or Shawn Green last night - or from David Weathers, though Brandon Clausson did pick up the win for me - but I had a blast at the game last night. The Reds won 17-3, but it wasn't just the fact that the home team beat the holy snot out of the visitors. What was cool was the seats we were in. First row over the outfield wall bordering on the Reds bullpen. Great seats, leaning on the outfield wall, hearing the bullpen phone ring before the players did.

But the best parts...Austin Kearns popped one over the wall about four seats to the right of us, just barely over the wall. The fan there caught it in his hat, and a boy in our group got to be on ESPN's Sportscenter last night when they showed the highlights.

Then, the Reds' bullpen coach - Tommy Hume - chucked a ball up to the little girl in our group as well.

And the Reds beat the holy crap out of the D-Backs. Twenty runs scored in a 3:14 game - loads of offense and a game that moved right along. Good times...good times...
