Gomes and Company

Yesterday's game was a total beat down of the Houston Astros. Their starter only lasted 2 and a third innings, the Reds scored 15 runs, Gomes almost hit for the cycle (he only needed a double),

You can really see the intensity in Gomes's eyes when he is batting. It looks like he is really focusing and trying to get a hit or drive in a run. This is probably why is one of the teams leaders in RBIs and has a great average with runners in scoring position.

I don't really enjoy watching blowout games though they get pretty boring because the tension/excitement is gone so I stopped watching after the grand slam.

On another note it's nice to see the Reds in first place, they haven't held first place in a long time. I'm hoping they continue to win, because it's a fun team to watch.
