Wow!!! Awesome way to start the year! I was in my car listening on the radio, and the Brewers had just gone up 6-2 in the 7th when my feed completely cut out. The way things had been going, I just figured they had lost. Boy was I surprised when i got home and saw what had happened!

I admit I am a little concerned about Volquez. 5 runs in 6 innings is not getting it done, although with the way he started I suppose it could've been worse. At least he went 6 and saved the bullpen undue work. He had a short spring due to issues with his work visa, and sounds like he was a little rusty to start off. Hopefully he will do better the next time.

As for Gomes, I fully expect to see Chris Heisey in left field either Saturday or Sunday. That kid has a bright future and may overtake Gomes for the starting job later this season.

Go Reds!!!
