The Reds are a bad team with a dangerous lineup--that was a gritty win.

Saying that Jon Gray worked "slow and deliberate" is like saying that molten lava is a bit warm to the touch.  For only the second time all year I got to watch an entire Rockies game uninterrupted, but that's almost four hours of my life that I won't be able to get back!  A game that long should at least have more than eight total runs or 8 1/2 innings.

Final thought: I wish the Rockies weren't pushing quite so hard for Mark Reynolds to get that final All-Star vote for two reasons.  One, they are being obnoxious about it and two, if Reynolds actually makes it that would give them five All-Stars which is a heck of a lot for a team that won't win the NL West.
