I’m heading to Cincinnati Thursday for the Reds vs. Mets game. I’ve had this trip planned for a few months, but I’ve discovered that there’s a special attraction at Thursday’s game. Is is the NL East-leading Mets? Nope. The Wild Card-leading Reds? Nope. Home Run Derby runner-up and “Wright Now” blogger David Wright? Nope. A stellar pitching matchup between All-Stars Bronson Arroyo and potential Hall of Famer Tom Glavine? Nope.

Two words: Meat Loaf.
