Another win. This time it was Alex Gonzalez and Jay Bruce who provided the side show to the main acts: Aaron Harang and Joey Votto. Votto goes 4-5 against the Cubs today and Harang goes seven and allows just one, unearned run.
Reds now a game and a half out of first with a weekend series at GABP against the Braves. If the Reds don't draw at least 90,000 for the three games there are serious problems with the way that team is being marketed. Even back in bad old generic Riverfront Stadium, a weekend series with the Braves was usually good for 100,000.
Just posted on my web site www.kenbroo.com is an interview I did for my Sunday Morning Sports Talk show on 700 WLW with Michael Abromowitz of The Football Expert. It's all about the upcoming draft this weekend. You might be surprised to see who he thinks the Bengals will take.
By the way, among my guests this Sunday will be NFL player agent, Jack Bechta, as well as former NFL offensive lineman, Ross Tucker. Sunday Morning Sports Talk airs from 9am-Noon EDT.

Now Chad Johnson wants to race a horse. And he'll do it, for charity, one week from this Saturday at River Downs in Cincinnati. Johnson will race a thorobread, with the money raised from betting going to one of Marvin Lewis' Foundation charities.
It's not the first time a Cincinnati Bengal has raced a horse. It's not even the second time. In 1983, a young Cris Collinsworth raced against a horse that was winless. The horse left CC in the dust. Collinsworth repeated the effort ten years later....he lost again, badly.
Johnson will certainly meet the same fate on Saturday June 9th. You just hope he doesn't pull a hamstring in the process.
Watching the Cubs Carlos Zambrano and Michael Barrett rumble in their dugout this afternoon made for great theatre. The fact that Lou Piniella now manages the Cubs made it even better. Piniella had an infamous club house dust up with his relief pitcher, Rob Dibble that was caught on tape. Piniella took awhile to explode over the situation. When he did, he said that team mates should fight the opponent, if they have to, not each other.
And they say people don't learn things when they get older.
Have a great weekend. If you live in the greater Cincinnati area, I'll see you Sunday night on "Sports Rock", at 11:35pm on channel 5 WLWT. Among our guests, UFC's Rich Franklin.
And I'm hosting "Sunday Morning Sportstalk" on 700 WLW from 9am-Noon EDT. If you live outside the greater Cincinnati area, it's on XM channel 173.
