Game Thread: Reds, Royals, Cavalier, Tigers — 2009.06.13

Bronson Arroyo vs. Kyle Davies in game two of this ever-so-compelling series against the juggernaut that is the Kansas City Royals. Can either of those pitchers get their ERAs under 5.00 tonight? My money is on Davies. The College World Series has gotten under way, and this year’s Team of Destiny (TM) is the Virginia Cavaliers. UVa plays at 7pm tonight against LSU, and I’m not afraid to admit that I will be flipping back and forth between the games. Yes, I’ll probably spend more time on the Virginia game; it’s the first time my alma mater has ever played in the College World Series. I will be keeping an eye on the Reds, though, and hoping tonight is the night that the offense wakes up. Discuss both game here…. UPDATE: After looking at tonight’s lineup (see below), I’m not sure I want to watch a single pitch of tonight’s Reds game after all. Terrible….
