Reds get help from Dickerson and jet stream in 13-11 win

The Reds and the Yankees engaged in an offensive explosion at the "TOE" (Tired Old Ed Smith Stadium) today thanks to the jet stream. The Reds came out on top 13-11. Chris Dickerson hit two of Cincinnati's five homers and continues to make his case to become the Reds starting left fielder.

As I've said before, I want Dickerson to be the Reds starting left fielder and I'd like to see Jonny Gomes backing him up. Jerry Hairston Jr. works best as an infielder and an overall utility guy (a Ryan Freel type). Jacque Jones scares me. I hope his role as a Red is nothing more than a pinch hitter, however, considering Dusty Baker is involved in the decision making process I wouldn't be surprise if he takes a lot of deserving playing time away from Dickerson.
