Just back from the Phillies v Reds game in Cincinnati. Phils won 3-2 with Hamels pitching 6 innings but not getting the decision. Madsen got the save.
Great ballpark but on a beautiful summer night at 80 degrees with the best team in baseball visiting they could only get 20,000 or so fans to come out. The stadium is nice, the fans friendly (although not as friendly as St Louis), and the food great. Had two chilli cheese dogs which were very tasty, although the chilli dog at the Rokies was the best I've had at a ballpark, or perhaps ever. They also have a BBQ shack in the outfield serving brisket. They have a different speciality sandwich depending on the team visiting. Tonight was the Philly Cheesesteak. Brisket on a roll covered with cheese wiz. The brisket was tender but not especially flavorful, the wiz was gooey but the roll was just average. Worth trying once but that was it. All up a fun night with the good guys winning.
