Day 9 - Game 7, Reds v. Astros






After the SOX v. SOX game ended we drove halfway to Cincy and grabbed about 6 hours sleep somewhere in Indiana. We hit the road early this morning and arrived at Great American Ballpark right as the national anthem was starting, impressive considering were both tired and our GPS was being sassy the entire time. It was impressive to see a big crowd considering the Reds are one of the worst teams in baseball this
year.

A really nice day and a mellow crowd, this game was a nice relief from the previous days craziness. Not a great game to watch, the Reds are a mess right now and a mediocre Houston team really put it to them for a final of 13-4. Aaron Harang gave up 8 runs in the first 2 innings, not one of his finer efforts. Lots of nice home run action early on, then we made a move out of the burning sunshine and checked into the legendary "Cincy" chili situation... After the game we headed right out of town and headed north - Tigers monday night in Detroit!



















UPDATE: Adam Dunn, the 6'-6" Cincinnati home run machine, was traded today to the Arizona Diamondbacks. Here's a photo of his last inning in a Reds uniform. Boo.
