Game Thread: Reds at Wrigleyville — 2009.07.24

Reds and Cubs today in an afternoon affair in Chicago. Aaron Harang will be leading the charge for the good guys. Today is the first day of a ten-game winning streak that is going to get the Reds back in the race. Bet the ranch on it. Discuss the game here. Lineup (and snide comments) below the fold: Dickerson RF Taveras CF (Worst #2 hitter in baseball? Find me a worse one.) Votto 1B Phillips 2B Encarnacion 3B Nix LF (No Gomes again?) Hanigan C Gonzalez SS (Well, this just sucks; at least he isn’t second in the order) Harang P
