It will end at some point. Jamie Moyer certainly can't pitch forever. The very fact that he was able to recover enough from Tommy John surgery at the age of 48 to be a full-time starting pitcher again at the age of 49 is amazing enough.

As a fan of the Minnesota Twins, I get a kick out of other fans' reactions when a former Twins player does something good. When former Twins pitcher Phil Humber threw a perfect game on April 21, fans of the Twins were quick to remember Humber was once a Twin and one with a lot of perceived talent.

The Reds are looking forward to the upcoming home stand after a tough first road trip of the 2012 season. Even though their club comes home with a losing record, Cincinnati fans should be somewhat optimistic about these three series at Great American Ball Park.
