Used to be the Reds made a good showing opening day,  even in not so hot years.   I was about to say,  “Maybe the Reds offense can come alive and make a game of it yet,  just before Adam Dunn grounded out to the pitcher after jumping ahead 3 balls and no strikes.  I thought that was usually a hitter’s count.  There goes Casey for out number two.  This is not starting out good at all.  All of this from walkking the opposing pitcher.  I say,  the quicker the Reds can get rid of Bob Boone,  the quicker they’re team can strat winning.  Boone has never won anything (has he even had a team that finsihed over .500?)  Reds go quietly,  1-2-3.  Still 6-0 after two complete.

I never liked the idea of bringing him in.  The word was,  players who have had hime don’t like him.  So,  that’s reason enough to bring him right in.  The Reds are heading in the wrong direction.
