Reds Lead The Lucky Life (For Once)
Everybody knows that one guy in life that just has a bad break day after day, and it never seems to change. Well for this guy, this group of guys, they finally got their luck to change tonight. They trailed 2-0, 4-2, and 5-3 as late as the eighth inning. The Reds (47-61), fought back all night against the
“The Real McCoy” Stepping Down After 37 Years
The economy has hit baseball already this season, smaller contracts, lower attendance, etc. But now, Reds reporter Hal McCoy is having to step down after 37 years of writing for the home town Redlegs, he said in a blog post mid evening last night. I started to get hooked on Cincinnati in the late 90s, especially with Griffey Jr, and that gang. But I really enjoyed reading Hal’s column. He always told it
Just Call Him King Lehr
Alright, I have to celebrate. The Reds just beat the Cubs 4-0, behind Justin Lehr’s 4-hit shutout, a complete game. This was the first complete game since July 10th, when Bronson went the distance right before the All-Star break against the Mets. Since then, Reds pitchers have averaged giving up
Volquez To Have TJ Surgery
His one inning start against the Cardinals on June the 1st is going to be his last start of 2009, and he won’t start for some time in 2010. Edinson Volquez is going to undergo season-ending Tommy John surgery, guaranteeing that he will be out for up to
Another Name (Possibly) On The List: Bronson "Andro" Arroyo
In addition to Zach’s post earlier about the Red Sox possibly being tainted, another person thinks his name may show up on the list. Bronson Arroyo, who said that he would “not be surprised” if his name showed up on the list of the 104 MLB players that tested positive in 2003. Two other names, David Ortiz, and Manny Ramirez were released yesterday. “But guys like
Reds of Late Make Titanic Look Like Its Floating
It’s pitiful. It truly is a joke to turn the TV on to Fox Sports Ohio anymore. Today is just another punch line in the comedy joke that is the month of July for the slumping Cincinnati Nationals, i mean… um, Reds. I luckily was spared having to think about them today. I only recieved my daily game update that read bluntly: “Reds lost.” With the score afterwords. I got to read about the
Boston Acquires Brian Anderson For Kotsay
New trade of the day news comes out of the Windy City, with Boston and the White Sox trading players. Boston gave up Mark Kotsay, who batted .257 with one HR and 5 RBI in 27 games. Chicago dealt away cash considerations, and outfielder Brian Anderson, who had been asked to be traded since the beginning of the season. He is currently batting .238 with 2 HR and 13 RBI. However, Anderson’s wish of starting regularly probably
No Place Like Home For Slumping Reds
Losing six straight is never fun, at all. But losing those six games by a combined 43-20 is just adding salt to the wound. Oh, did I forget to mention the face that two players were placed on the DL? (Micah Owings, and Chris Dickerson) However, with all that, the Reds jumped on the Padres in the first inning, and carried the early 3 run lead into a 6-4 victory at the expense of the crumbling
Pete Rose In The Hall Soon?
Yes, you read that right. Bud Selig continues to review Pete’s application for reinstatement into Major League Baseball. He has been banned for 20 years since he accepted the banishment by Bart Giamatti, in 1989. To get into the Hall Of Fame, the Veterans Committee, the living members in the Hall. They would have to vote
Do The Reds Still Play Baseball?
Sometimes, I wonder. Today is another case of that question popping up in a 5-3 loss today to the Cubbies. Johnny Cueto (8-7) had another semi-rough first inning, giving up three runs, one of them a long ball by Aramis Ramirez, his 7th of the year, but second in the last two days. In total, the Reds hurler surrendered 5 hits in the first inning alone, and survived only because of a Kevin Hart strikeout. Speaking of the Cubs (50-45) pitcher, who had a good day on the mound, giving up only
