Two errors and wild pitch in 3rd bring home two runs for Cincy. Astros score one on a Ka-Bong shot to left.  Through 3: CIN 2, HOU 1

Sexy, sexy bitch (he plays for the Reds now?) hits one off the fowl pole in left (FSHouston calling it one of the shortest HRs in MMPUS history), and the crowd cheers (really).  T4: Reds up 3-1.

KaBong barely misses his 2nd HR of the night, hitting high off the wall in left center. B4, 1 out, runner at 2B.

Sexy, sexy bitch scores on a single up the middle (Cannot wait 'til that fool hangs 'em up for good).

Arroyo over at the plate and Villar balks the runners over to 2B and 3B. 1 out.

Shit, Arroyo with a shot to left that looked like it'd go over Carlos' head for a second... Runner tags up at 3B and scores. 7-1 Cincy.

Villar hits the next batter (Phillips) in the back. Runners at 1B and 2B. 

Villar done: walk, walk, single (RBI), balk, sac fly (RBI), HBP.  UGLY!

If you'll squint a little bit, cover your right eye, and sit well to the side of your television set he just may look like he has something.

Don't forget the adult beverages.  You have to drink a lot of 'em to make the above suggestion work correctly!

Hernandez looked like crap in that AB. Not sure why Mills pulled Bogusevic back to hit for him (then again, I'm a bit biased, didn't like the Hernandez call-up in the first place).

Wallace takes a page from the Spaz swinging at crappy low and away slider for strike 3.  CJ lines a single into right.

Nice to see. Brian Esposito PH for Castro for his first MLB at bat. Caught an inning years before, but did not get an AB.

Esposito takes a big swing at the first pitch fastball for strike one. Takes the next pitch almost to the track in RF for the second out of the inning. Just got under it a little bit.

Downs grounds into FC at SS.  End 7: CIN 8, HOU 1.
