I almost forgot to post this.  D'oh!

Some quick points as I'm in a rush to get out the door:

• Micah Owings has a 3.53 ERA in his last 6 starts, going just under 6 innings a start in that span.
• He was rocked in his last start against the Phillies back in May, going just 3 innings and allowing 5 runs.
• Jamie Moyer has a 3.83 ERA over his last 7 starts.  He's gone at least 6 innings in 8 of his last 9 starts.
• The Reds beat him back on May 20th, but only managed 3 runs over 6 innings.  Thankfully, Aaron Harang was on that night.
• Jay Bruce has the night off tonight with Chris Dickerson playing in right field in his stead.  That's a good thing. Time to take it easy on Bruce and try to work him back into a successful rhythm.  Maybe it will help to watch the game from another angle for a bit.

A win tonight splits the series.  Not a great outcome, but not bad given the atrocities of Monday night.
