Off-day in Cincinnati

If I lost you at the headline, don’t worry, I understand. This place is the exact opposite of that old saying, “It’s a great place to visit, but I wouldn’t want to live there.” I lived here for four years, and it was GREAT. Made a lot of great friends, had a great time, all that. But to come here for four days and stay in a hotel downtown, well, that isn’t so great. As for the Dodgers, they really need to win this series, because they haven’t won one since sweeping the Reds at Dodger Stadium May 19-21. Wow, that was almost a month ago. They do have one split since then, at home against the Cubs last weekend. But the Dodgers need momentum to take into that all American League homestand they have coming up. … I’m not expecting any update on Brad Penny until tomorrow. The MRI results probably won’t come until this evening, by which time it will be really late out here.
