There was a time - a long time, frankly - where the preview for a game in which Joey Votto was both a) active and b) not playing would lead with that note, giving all seven of the active fans of the Cincinnati Reds the news that the game to be played that evening would lake most all of its intrigue.
Joey Votto is sitting to start this one, what with a lefty on the mound for the Baltimore Orioles and his right foot probably still ouching from that foul ball he nailed it with yesterday. These days, though, that’s not nearly enough to turn you away from the red-hot Reds lineup.
