Six are in

Despite a valiant effort, the Buccos are trailing 4-3 to the Reds at Ed Smith Stadium as we enter the seventh inning.

Pittsburgh drew even in the sixth, when Shelby Ford tripled and scored on a single from Brian Bixler. After a run scored on an error, Craig Monroe's sac fly plated Nyjer Morgan and drew the game even.

But the Reds took the lead on a home run by - who else? - THE Kevin Parker, whose long shot to right off Jeff Karstens has the score where it is now.

Nice crowd at the ballyard, but I am not going to miss Ed Smith Stadium a whole lot. I hate the idea of ballpark sitting empty, but this place is a bit antiquated.

But that's one man's opinion. Yes, it's MY opinion, which carries some more weight...but still...
