Mientkiewicz leads by example
Although "Dirty" Doug Mientkiewicz is batting .237 and only makes the occasional start, he is a valuable member of the 2008 Pittsburgh Pirates. Yesterday was a perfect example of how Mientkiewicz continues to battle and do the little things that keeps the Buccos in games. "Doug was the catalyst,"... Read more...

Blue Collar teams are winning the right way
Pitching, Defense, and Timely hitting: Cleveland Indians.The Tribes starting pitchers have been dominant, pitching 34 consecutive scoreless innings (Tom Hamilton said 39 on the radio broadcast last night but I'll take Anthony Castrovince's word for it, since I can link to it.) Cliff Lee and... Read more...

GABP does Reds more harm than good
GABP's homer-friendly atmosphere does more harm than good for the Reds. Craig Barnes, writing for the South Florida Sun Sentinel, reveals the stats: In the five-plus years since Great American opened, opponents have hit 633 homers and the Reds have hit 581. Last July, I proposed moving back the... Read more...

My two cents on Joba
Pumping your fist, yelling, et cetera... take that to the NFL or NBA. There is no place for such antics in baseball. Someone who finds that entertaining (Flip Bondy) is not a true baseball fan. Unfortunately Joba is an American League pitcher and won't have to face any retribution from an... Read more...

Two dominant performances lead Reds to win
Sometimes all the pieces align for a great win (or to form a Voltron). Yesterday was one of those days for the Reds. After losing 0-3 to the Cubs on Tuesday (a rare game at GABP with no homeruns) the Redlegs put together some day game dominance for a 9-0 victory on Wednesday. Edinson Volquez... Read more...

Tribe will try to torch Yanks

His latest post discusses, among other things, David Dellucci's 3-run pinch hit homer to lead the Fighting Braves of the Cuyahoga to a 5-3 victory over the New York Yankees. Tonight's game will be nationally televised on ESPN... Read more...

Reds vs. Cubs: Reds fan's wishlist for the series

First of all, we shouldn't get caught up in all this win/loss stuff. Here's some things that I am hoping for. Some are more likely to happen than others... you... Read more...

Okay... It's not McLoooth!
One would think with the nice season the Nate McLouth is having for the Pittsburgh Pirates people would start pronouncing his name correctly. Wrong. While listening to the Nationals/Pirates radio broadcast on XM, I heard once of the Washington announcers say "McLoooth." I heard Joe Buck say the... Read more...

Josh Hamilton deserves your All-Star vote
Paying deep in the heart of Texas and for the dead-last place Rangers, Josh Hamilton isn't getting a lot of publicity. The former Cincinnati Red is currently leading the world with 32 RBI. Add his .330 BA and the rest of his stats and he's a legitimate All-Star. So keep him in mind when you're... Read more...

Another slap in the face for Pirates fans
Tom Gorzelanny and the Pirates will face former Bucco Oliver Perez today at Shea Stadium today. Ollie will probably throw a no-hitter. Wouldn't that just be a fit punishment? Just like an Aramis Ramirez RBI or HR. I still like Oliver Perez... he was one of my favorite Buccos. I just think he had... Read more...

Do things seem weird to anyone else?
Right now I am trying to stomach a 0-7 Cardinals lead in the third and the early removal of one of this season's bright points, Johnny Cueto... I can't help but think that things seem weird with the Reds right now. Not necessarily tonight's thumping and the 2 errors or Bronson's win yesterday,... Read more...

With Krivsky overboard Jocketty takes the wheel of the S.S. Redleg
The Cincinnati Reds have fired GM Wayne Krivsky and hired Walt Jocketty to take his place. It's not like I didn't see this coming but it is surprising that he happened this early in the season. Bill at Redleg Nation has the same question.Basically the Reds aren't winning and as Hal McCoy points... Read more...
