Still no "Arod vs. Ken Griffey Jr" - as we didn't bring Arod to the
Reds park.

Well, today's game falls into the "great game, not a lot to talk
about" department - at least for me.  Games like this are great to
watch (and not too bad to listen to), but there isn't a whole lot to
report about when it comes time to talk baout the game.

The pitching on both sides was great - we only had two runs, and they
had one.  Ryan Glynn went three innings, with 3 strikeouts, and more
importantly, no walks.  Mark Petkovsek went two, giving up nothing,
Mike Venafro pitched two scoreless as well.  Jeff Brantley gave up our
only run (quite frankly, I don't expect him to make the club, so I
don't care).  Aaron Meyette got the save in the ninth, I guess Tim
Crabtree didn't make the trip - I would imagine he would be tested in
a true save situation would he have been here.

On the offensive side, the only thing we had going was a big two run
home run by Pudge, but it turned out that's all we needed.

The only other news is bad - being from the injury front.  Ricky Ledee
who got hurt yesterday has a torn hamstring tendon in his left leg.
He'll be out a minimum of two weeks, and may need surgery.  He's
unlikely for opening day; longer if surgery is needed.

Gabe Kapler was hit in the hand with a pitched ball - was sent back to
Port Charlotte immediately, more will be known later.

Chad Curtis, from a purely selfish standpoint, must like this, it
increases his chances for playing time.
