Redleg Nation — Oops, sorry gang. Forgot to put up a game thread. Only fifteen minutes late. Better late than never.
8 hours agoTrade Deadline Open Thread
Redleg Nation — Well, today’s the non-waiver trade deadline. Will GM Walt Jocketty and the Reds make a deal? Will they do something? Anything? I don’t anticipate any moves, but we’ve been surprised by Jocketty before. It’s just wait and see at this point. I know two guys I’d like to see the Reds get: Stephen [...]

Redleg Nation — July 31, 1935: Billy Sullivan hit a run-scoring pinch single in the bottom of the 10th inning to give the Reds a 4-3 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals in a night game played at Crosley Field.

Redleg Nation — I really want to beat the Braves tonight (and tomorrow, and Sunday). I mean, I really want to beat that team. You see, I have three younger brothers. Two of them are reasonable and smart, big-time Reds fans, and all-around good guys. The other brother is smart and a good guy, too…but something [...]
July 30, 2010Selling tickets
Redleg Nation — The games this weekend against Atlanta are virtually sold out; the Enquirer has a couple of stories, here and here, about that fact. I have a question, though: why does Milwaukee get better crowds than Cincinnati? I have my opinions on the matter, but I was interested in your thoughts. Reds fans are [...]

This game featured two Redlegs grand slams, one by Burgess and one by Bob Thurman. Burgess homered with one on in the first and fourth innings and hit [...]
July 29, 2010Reds Spitting Rhymes Like Fire, Reds 10-2
The Reds Rocket — The Reds radio broadcast was ready to start choking the offense today as they, through 5 innings, were pretty poor against Chris Narveson. And who can blame them, don't you think I'd like to choke someone too, but I don't have time for that. And it turned out that Mary was a bit premature as the offense eventually got to Narveson and then turned on the afterburners against the Brewers' bullpen, running away with things. All of the offense presented Travis Wood, looking very pleased with himself, with his first Major League win. He probably got to take a beer shower afterwards. Good for you Tra...

Church of Baseball — • Ranks 1st in NL in BA (.322) • Ranks 1st in NL in HR (26)• Ranks 2nd in NL in RBI (70) • Ranks 2nd in NL in R (72)• Ranks 3rd in NL in BB (60) • Ranks 1st in NL in OBP (.423)• Ranks 1st in NL in SLG (.599) • Ranks 1st in NL in OPS (1.023)They're gonna have to change it to Most Vottomatic Player. If Crusty would stop batting Cabrera second, Votto would have more RBI. Holy crap - there's a guy going for the Triple Crown and he plays for the Cincinnati Reds!(HT: Jake)
July 28, 2010Reds Answer Call for Consistency With Huge Offensive Explosion, 12-4
The Reds Rocket — The night after struggling with Randy Wolf for 7 innings, the Reds offense lit up Yovani Gallardo, one of the better arms in the National League. By the 4th, the offense had already scored 7 and were dealing with Big Frucking Nasty in a mop up role. Not too bad guys. The top of the order exploded, Phillips, Votto and Rolen all had four hits. Cabrera had three. No one left the yard but they did knock out 5 doubles, including two by Ramon Hernandez from the bottom of the order. The troubling aspect of the dominating victory was the performance by lionesque starting pitcher Volquez. He had troub...
