Although the outcome was pretty much what I expected – the Reds losing yet another nationally-televised game – the way it played out was a much more intriguing than the pitching matchup would...
And, of course, it had to be Molina. In what was essentially a rematch of last Saturday’s faceoff between Johnny Cueto and Michael Wacha, the game played out quite similarly. An early Reds le...

It was the first home weekend series of the season, which meant (with my upgraded season ticket package) I got to spend two afternoons at the ballpark. And both Saturday and Sunday were beautif...
