obviously this won't happen but volquez has a no-no thru three innings. wouldn't it be great if he pitched a no-hitter the same day griffey hit 600 ?

volquez is a stud

The reds future is looking great. I hate to say this on his big night, but we need to get rid of Griff and Dunn.

i think the reds had hoped that patterson would progress and that they could unload griffey and use bruce. But patterson has been so bad that particular plan lost legs.

Its amazing to me that Volquez can walk so many batters and stay out of trouble. I guess that is what happens when you can throw 96 with your fastball and 80 w/ your changeup. If he could cut down on the walks he would be going 8ip every start instead of 6
