Clutch Hitting Cure to Beating Good Teams
We're now into the second month of the season and if you were told the Reds would be without it's top starter, left fielder, and catcher for much of the season and still be 3 games over 500 and three games out of first place, would you take it? My gu...

Reds Enjoying Fruits of Offseason Labor
I try not to read fan comments when it comes to moves the Reds should make. Fans are so in the "what have you done for me this instant" mode, which, I guess, is why they call them fans. Thankfully, Reds General Manager Walt Jocketty is a wise and exp...

Reds 5-4 win the recipe for success
While unfortunately I had to work and couldn't watch last night's 5-4 Reds win, after watching the highlights and reading the game stories, what was most comforting about the victory was your best players stepped up and were your best players. Mat La...

Reds 2013 Preview
Happy Easter everyone. And happy Opening Day Eve! Now that the major questions have been answered -- Aroldis Chapman will close, Joey Votto's knee is healthy and Shin Soo Choo has proven more than capable in center field -- the grind of the 162-game ...

Moving Chapman from Bullpen is Risky Business
As comic book icon Stan Lee would say, "Greetings True Believers!" It has been almost two months since my last post. The end to the 2012 season for the Reds was painful to watch and even more painful to write about. Which is why I didn't. Bottom line

In Face of Adversity, Reds Keep Rising to the Challenge
It had to be just before 10 o'clock Saturday night. The Reds Johnny Cueto was in pain. My eyes started to well up with tears. My phone rang. It was a family member. I said, "What do you want me to say?" Just like Brandon Phillips admitted after Game ...

Reds Take the NL Central
It may not have been as dramatic as 2010 when Jay Bruce swatted a 9th inning homer on the first pitch to clinch the Reds first division crown since 1995, but Saturday's 6-0 win versus the Dodgers was just as satisfying. Once again, Bruce provided the
