[More Cowbell]

Well, Jay Bruce was indeed in the starting lineup tonight, and he had about as good a debut as one could hope for. His line from the game:

5 plate appearances, 3 hits including a double, 2 walks, 2 RBI, 2 runs scored, 1 stolen base. Very impressive.

Side note, I was apparently wrong about the buzz I expected his call-up to generate. The Reds played in front of a pitiful crowd of under 18,000 tonight. So much for Cincy being a baseball city.
