Zenith: Reds 6, Dodgers 5
Top 8th B:4 S: 0 O: 0And thus the opportunity to get some insurance runs -- and a win -- was lost today, by Izzy's GIDP. Afterwards, the bullpen melted down like a slice of gouda in a microwave, and the final result, a cheese omelet. Yolk's on you, boys.

Pitcher Change: Gabe White replaces John Riedling, batting 2nd.Top 8th B:0 S: 0 O: 1
Defensive Substitution: Barry Larkin replaces shortstop Felipe Lopez, batting 7th.Top 8th B:0 S: 0 O: 3
Cesar Izturis grounds into double play, shortstop Barry Larkin to second baseman D'Angelo Jimenez to first baseman Sean Casey. Robin Ventura out at 2nd.
And, thus the end, for a while, of the weak opponents. The rest of the month, we face the Cubs, Marlins, and Braves -- ten straight games against postseason contenders. Following that, an interlude with the Expos, then the Mets, and the Snakes for one game. Between now and the 30th, no days off. It's gonna be a grind, and that seven game lead is gonna start taking a beating.
