Hopefully Arroyo’s first win ISN’T a sign of the apocalypse but it did seem like it would never come.  I’m sure when Arroyo was pulled in the 8th, he said to Narron, “Surely even THESE bit#$es can’t blow a 10-run league.  Can they?  Jerry? I’m asking you a question here…”  Arroyo threw 65 strikes out of his 95 pitches and threw a three-hitter. 

• The team is hitting on all cylinders right now.  Dunn is hitting homers at a great clip.  Griffey actually played today and hit a home run with three total hits.  Alex Gonzalez is playing out of his mind right now at the plate.
• Josh Hamilton should win April Rookie Of The Month hands down.  We’ll find out tomorrow.
• Davey Concepcion will have his number 13 jersey retired July 28th in Great American Ballpark.  He played from 1970-1988 and was part of The Big Red Machine.  I always remember his one-hop throws to first off the astroturf.
• The Reds are third in the National League in ERA (3.55) behind the Giants and Mets.
