I must have missed the decision to start Westbrook. I thought this was Carp/Cueto, round 2. I suppose this was done in anticipation of the Pirates series?

Here's a shocker: Jake Westbrook isn't anywhere close to the plate.

Only 15 months until Westbrook is a free agent.

Holy crap, that's Al? I just started watching and have been wondering for the last 5 minutes who that was.

Brantley was trying to explain how LaRussa likes a hitter with power in the 2-hole.
"When they acquired Larry Walker, he hit in front of Mark McGwire those years they went to the World Series ..."

They needed to get to Cueto early in this game, when he was hanging that nickel curve.

Didn't Brantley work for a while on Cardinal post-game shows? Or am I just remembering him on Baseball Tonight?

Brennaman (shouting, as always): NOT MANY TEAMS CAN SAY THEY HAVE FOUR ALL-STARS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ORDER ..."
Artie: "... and still be under .500."

I know he used to work for ESPN. Consider how many former players are on their payroll and determine how bad you have to be to get fired.

I've got the FSO feed on mlb.com. Nice to hear them ragging on the reds.
Dang this inning is ugly, but effective.

It was a 2-3 combo that rivaled the old Mantle-Ruth combo the Yankees had in the 40's.

No actually, Walker hit behind McGwire . . . about five years behind him.

Nice to see Trever Miller earn his salary against Votto.

Looked to me like Pujols had a bit extra giddyup in his home run trot. I think he's having fun.

Cueto looked just a bit peeved with Chapman.
