1st Game at Great American Ballpark
I knew that balls carried well out of Great American. I was shocked when I saw Kaz Matsui poke one off the end of the bat and land in the first row. I couldn't believe it. We saw a combined 5 home runs in this game. Carlos Lee doubled in 2 runs in extra innings. Hunter Pence then followed with a two run shot to blow the game wide open. After the game Reds fans were treated to a spectacular fireworks display.

2nd Game at Great American Ballpark
We decided we would drive to the ballpark to see how traffic was. Traffic wasn't that bad plus driving over the rivers was pretty cool. We parked in a parking lot next to the river. When walking to the stadium tons and tons of homeless people we all over us for some extra change. Cincinnati is still a good town. We ordered this pizza place from our seats during the game. The pizza was very good! Brian Moehler out pitched Bronson Arroyo to win 3-1. Miguel Tejada went deep for the Astros while Carlos Lee got nailed on the finger. Lee found out he was going to be out for the rest of the season!
