Game notes

I was at the game (well, 6 innings of it) and I left impressed with Guillon. Joey Votto ran like he was scared (I know, since that is how I have ran for the last 8 years). My guess, Votto takes off at least another week before coming back. I will try to write up something for Guillon next week with video.The game tonight is available online to watch for free.
