Regular season ends
10/3/2010 - Reds 3 Brewers 2 - Bruce's solo homer in the 4th proved to be the difference in the game as the Reds win their final regular season game. After a couple days rest they make an appearance in Philadelphia to begin the playoffs for the National League crown. Final season record is 91-71 (.562). And the foregone conclusion is that Ken wins the battle of the Bro's for the second year in a row.
10/2/2010 - Reds 7 Brewers 4 - Miller caps a three run 7th with a two run homer to help the Reds take the middle game in the final series of the year. With one more game in the regular season the overall record is now 90-71.
10/1/2010 - Brewers 4 Reds 3 - The Reds lose the opener of the final series of the regular season. September was a so-so month at 12-15 (.444). Season record is now 89-71.
9/30/2010 - Reds 9 Astros 1 - The Reds take two of three from the Astros and outscore them 12-5 in the home set. Season record now 19 games over .500 89-70. Looks like a Philly roadee for the Reds.
9/29/2010 - Astros 2 Reds 0 - One couldn't blame the Reds for a little let down after clinching the Central last night. Astros shutout the Reds 2-0. Season record is now 88-70.
Reds Win The NL Central
9/28/2010 - Reds 3 Astros 2 - On the first pitch in the bottom of the 9th Jay Bruce put the Reds in the playoffs with a walk-off homerun to win the game against the Astros 3-2. The win puts the Reds in the playoffs for the first time since 1995. Their opponent is yet to be determined from the Phillies, Braves, Giants, or Padres. Season record is now 88-69. Oh yeah, the e-number is "0"
9/27/2010 - No game today. Play the Astros at home tomorrow and finish the season in the friendly confines of GABP later in a series against the Brewers.
9/26/2010 - Reds 12 Padres 2 - With 4 RBI's by Heisey and 3 more by Votto the Reds powered themselves into at least a tie for the National League West pennant. St. Louis prolonged the inevitable by besting the Cubs but can back out of it with a loss to the Pirates tomorrow. The Reds are off until Tuesday when they play the Astros. Season record is now 87-69 and the e-number is at 1.
9/25/2010 - Padres 4 Reds 3 - The Padres score the winning run off Chapman with two out in the bottom of the ninth to get the win. The Cards lose so the e-game lowers to 2. Season record in now 86-69. A paltry .391 for September and the .555 season record is the lowest since July 31st.
9/24/2010 - Padres 4 Reds 3 - Stubbs got the Reds rolling with a solo shot in the 2nd inning, and they lead the Pads 3-2 after 7 1/2 innings. However, the playoff anxious team from San Diego fought back with two runs in their half of the 7th to go ahead and finish the game at the final score of 4-3. The elimination number remains at 3 with this loss and the victory earlier by the Cards. Season record is now 86-68. The won/loss record for September is an unimpressive 9-13 (.409).
Ken said - A terrible thing is also this: if the season ended today, the Reds would have to play at Philadelphia in the first round. NOBODY wants to do that. They have to beat up on SD and root against Atlanta, the way I see it, to have home field advantage. If Atlanta winds up with a better record than the Reds and wins the wild card, they would have to go West because Philadelphia cannot, by rule, play a wild card from its own division.
Oh well, I suppose I'm premature with this speculation, but with the elimination number for the Reds at three, I think they'll make it. What in hell happened to the Cards? They folded like paper at an origami convention.
9/22/2010 - Brewers 13 Reds 1 - Not wanting to close the season out too fast the Reds scored one run in the first inning just to show the Brewers who's boss and then coasted the rest of the way while allowing the Suds to score 13. They knew that the Cards had lost already and are tying to hold off on clinching until they get back to GABP. NOT!! The Cards lose again so the elimination number is reduced to 3 and the season record is now 86-67.
9/21/2010 - Reds 4 Brewers 3 - CoCo scared everybody again allowing two runs to score in the bottom of the ninth inning. It wasn't completely his fault as two errors were committed on one play for the runs. However sloppy the Reds get the elimination number down to 4 as the Cards lose again. Season record is now 86-66
9/20/2010 - Reds 5 Brewers 2 - Homeruns by Votto and Rolen in the 8th when the Reds scored three runs was the difference in the ballgame. CoCo also quiets his critics, at least temporarily with a great closeout of the game. The shutout loss of the Cards to the Marlins lowered the elimination number for the Cards to 6. Season record is now 85-66.
9/19/2010 - Astros 4 Reds 3 - Trying to come back, the Reds score three runs in the eight but to no avail as the Astros hold on for the 4-3 victory. Season record is now 84-66, 18 games over .500 from a season high of 23 on September 4th. The magic number holds at 8.
9/18/2010 - Reds 11 Astros 1 - The Reds scored runs in the game like they vote in Chicago, early and often. The 11 runs are the most scored since the 12-11 victory against the Giants on August 25. Combined with the St. Louis loss to San Diego the magic number is down to 8. Season record is now 84-65.
9/17/2010 - Astros 5 Reds 3 - The Reds took the lead in the 6th inning 3-2 but wouldn't score again in the game. The Astros got to the Reds phenom Chapman handing him his first loss as an MLB'er. Season record is now 83-65 and the magic number holds at 10. September record is currently an unimpressive 6-10 (.375).
9/16/2010 - Diamond Backs 3 Reds 1 - The Reds scored first but could only manage the one run for the game while the D'Backs bunched three together in the fifth for the final 3-1 score. Season record is now 83-64 and the magic number holds at 10.
9/15/2010 - Reds 7 Diamond Backs 5 - The Reds jumped out to a 5-0 lead after two innings and held on as the Diamond Backs chip away at that lead to get it close at 5-4. In the 8th the Reds get two additional runs for the final score of 7-5. True to form as of late CoCo makes things very uncomfortable allowing the potential tying run to the plate. Bruce saved the day with a catch of an apparent homerun destined ball to end the game. Season record is now 83-63 and the magic number is now 11 pending the outcome of the Cards vs Cubs game.
9/14/2010 - Diamond Backs 3 Reds 1 - The Reds had the winning run at the plate and only and outstanding catch in the outfield kept this game under control for the Diamond Backs. The win is the first of the year for the D'Backs against the Reds. Season record is now 82-63.
9/13/2010 - Reds 6 Diamond Backs 2 - Five home runs, including two by Bruce's return to the line-up, powered the Reds to the 7-2 win. Season record is now 82-62. Magic number is reduced to 13 with the loss of the Cards at the hands of the Cubs in St. Louis.
9/12/2010 - Pirates 3 Reds 1 - Leading 1 to zip in the top of the ninth the Reds and Cordero allow 3 Pirate runs to let it slip away. The heart of the line-up came up in the bottom of the ninth to load the bases but could not get the runs across to tie or go ahead. Season record is now 81-62.
9/11/2010 - Reds 5 Pirates 4 - Another extra inning game against the Pirates and the outcome is the same, the Reds are victorious. After leading by three and then trialing by one the Reds tie it up in the ninth and win it in the 10th on a walk off homer by Votto. The magic number drops to 15 and the season record improves to 81-61. The win means the Reds will not have a losing season for the first time since 2000.
9/10/2010 - Reds 4 Pirates 3 - It took 12 innings and a play at the plate but the home cooking was what it took to get the Reds back in the win column. It was even more sweet because the Cards lost to the Braves to lower the magic number to 17. Season record is now 80-61 and a 6 game lead over the Cards.
9/9/2010 - Rockies 6 Reds 5 - Very disappointing to carry a 5-0 lead into the bottom of the 4th only to lose 6-5 in the later innings on a steal of home plate. The defeat completed the 4 game sweep of the Reds by the Rockies in Denver. It also marked the 5th straight loss overall. Pending the outcome of the Cardinal game later tonight the Magic Number remains at 19 and the season record is 79-61. The winning percentage for September is a paltry .250 and the O/U record of 18 is the worst since August 24th. The .564 winning percentage is the lowest since August 14th.
9/8/2010 - Rockies 9 Reds 2 - Four losses in a row and five out of six and counting. The Rockies are proving to be a handful for the Reds on this road trip. Again the Reds reduce their Magic number to 19 by virtue of a St. Louis loss to the Brewers. Season record is now 79-60.
9/7/2010 - Rockies 4 Reds 3 - Another Rocky Mountain low. The Reds lose their third straight game and second to the Rockies on this current trip. The pain is eased somewhat by the loss of the Cards to the Brewers. Magic number is now 20 and the season record is 79-59.
9/6/2010 - Rockies 10 Reds 5 - With the Cards winning their game against the Brewers the magic number remains at 21. The Reds begin the 4 gamer at Denver on the wrong foot but can make up for it in the next three games or so. Season record is now 79-58.
9/5/2010 - Cards 4 Reds 2 - The Reds jumped out to a 2 run lead in the 5th inning but that would be all the scoring they get while the Cards score 4 straight. Getting one of three in St. Louis might be all one could ask for. The Cards have beaten the Reds seven more games than any other club this year. Season record in now 79-57 and the magic number remains at 21. Off to the Rockies to play the Rockies for the fourth time this season.
9/4/2010 - Reds 6 Cards 1 - The Reds score more runs in the first inning today than they could muster in 9 innings yesterday. Even though they left 18 runners on base the effort was more than enough to send the Cards packing in their own stadium. Season record is now 79-56 and the magic number is down to 21.
9/3/2010 - Cards 3 Reds 2 - Lackluster performance by the Reds tonight in St. Louis. Breaks the 4 games win streak and starts off the road trip on a sour note. The Cardinals have now beat the Reds 11 out of 16 games this year. Season record is now 78-56. Magic number remains at 23.
Ken said:
"An oddity that may have escaped you (Skip): Brandon Phillips has not batted or fielded for five games, yet has scored three runs. He was a pinch-runner in three straight games and scored every time.
Newly-arrived Cuban defector Aroldis Chapman hit the radar for 104 mph twice last night (fastest ever, they say).
Thanks Ken, that is some great information and thanks for the correction. That was a test. I didn't know that about either Phillips or Chapman. I saw where the sports pundits were giving Chapman all kinds of kudos but I did not see that stat, awesome.
9/1/2010 - Reds 6 Brewers 1 - The Reds make another sweep of their opponent taking three from the Brewers. The 7th inning proved to be the pivotal one when the Reds dropped a six spot on the Suds. The Cards lost again and now the lead is a robust 8 games in the Central. The Reds go to St. Louis for three games starting Friday to see if they can put this thing away. Season record is now 78-55 and the magic number is 23.
8/31/2010 - Reds 8 Brewers 4 - The Reds make the most of their 10 hits scoring 8 runs with Votto producing three of those runs on two hits. The win along win the Cards loss to the Astros give the Reds a 7 game lead and the magic number is reduced to 25. Season record is now 77-55.
8/30/2010 - Reds 5 Brewers 4 - Bruce drives in the winning run in the bottom of the 10th to give the Reds the 5-4 final score. The Reds move to 6 games ahead of the Cardinals that were shutout by the Astros lowering the Magic Number to 27. Season record is now 76-55.
8/29/2010 - Reds 7 Cubs 5 - The Cubs leave 21 runners stranded and the Reds maintain their mastery over the Cubs at 12 and 4 for the season. Season record is now 75-55.
8/28/2010 - Cubs 3 Reds 2 - The Reds outhit the Cubs but leave 15 men on base and lose by one run. The lead in the Central remains at 4 due to the loss by St. Louis to the Nationals. Season record is now 74-55.
8/27/2010 - Reds 7 Cubs 1 - Bruce batted 3 for 3 with a walk and 5 RBI's to lead the Reds on a 7-1 win over the Cubs. The victory pushes the Reds dominance over the Cubs to 11 of 14 games for the season. The Reds maintain a 4 game lead over the Cards with three fewer losses in the defeat column. Season record is now 74-54.
8/26/2010 - No game today. Face Cubs tomorrow at GABP.
8/25/2010 - Reds 12 Giants 11 - Season record is now 73-54.
Ken said -
Wow, on Thursday when two teams overcame 10-1 deficits (Colorado against Atlanta, San Francisco against Cincinnati), the Reds were fortunate enough to rally to tie then defeat the Giants in 12 innings A 6-3 road trip sure sounds better than a 5-4 one and made for a happier flight home, I'm sure.
Hey, I'm not a superstitious guy, but now that Joey Votto is on this week's Sports Illustrated's cover, I get a little twitchy thinking about the so-called SI cover jinx. He's been riding high. I'll be curious to see how he does this weekend against Chicago.
At this writing, the Cardinals are losing to the Nationals, who are still batting in the bottom of the seventh, 8-5. Go Nats!
8/24/2010 - Giants 16 Reds 5 - The night of the long ball as the Giants take the second straight from the Reds. Guess the Giants have longer balls than the Reds. Season record is now 72-54.
8/23/2010 - Giants 11 Reds 2 - The first inning five run display by the Giants would have been more than enough for victory but they added 4 more in the 8th to add insult to injury. August is still looking good at 14-6 (.700). Season record is now 72-53.
8/22/2010 - Reds 5 Dodgers 2 - With some timely hitting by Votto the Reds get the rubber match game against the Dodgers. The win puts the Reds back to 20 games over .500 at 72-52, a 38 game improvement versus the 124 game mark last year. The Reds travel to San Francisco tomorrow for the start of a three games series. The win today assured a successful road trip as they are 5-1 so far for the 9 game trip.
8/21/2010 - Dodgers 8 Reds 5 - Cueto gave up 5 runs in three innings and the Reds could not recover from the early deficit. The Reds score twice in the 6th and 7th to make it close but couldn't quite get there. Season record is 71-52.
8/20/2010 - Reds 3 Dodgers 1 - Phillips drove in all three runs in the game for the Reds as they take their fourth straight road game and seventh win in this current streak. The win also enabled them to push the lead to 4.5 games ahead of the Cardinals. Season record is 71-51 and another season high 20 games over .500.
8/19/2010 - Reds 9 D-Backs 5 - Another series sweep for the Reds and a season high 6 game winning streak. The win pushes the Central lead to 3.5 games and a Magic Number of 40. Both teams scored in bunches, especially in the 8th when a total of 9 runs were pushed across the plate. Season record is 70-51 and another season high 19 games over .500.
8/18/2010 - Reds 11 D-Backs 7 - Scoring 8 runs total in the last two innings the Reds come from behind to take the second straight game from the D Backs. The Reds bats were rocking with 18 hits and the win is the 5th straight. Season record is 69-51 and another season high 18 games over .500.
8/17/2010 - Reds 6 D-Backs 2 - Ten strikeouts didn't keep the Reds from scoring runs late in the game for the 6-2 victory. The Reds draw first blood in the initial meeting of the teams this season. The Reds are riding a 4 game winning streak and recorded their highest over .500 mark at 17. August has been a good month so far with a 10-4 (.714) record. think what it could have been without the sweep at the hands of the Cards. Season record in now 68-51.
8/16/2010 - No games today - Visit Diamondbacks tomorrow for the start of a crucial 9 game road trip.
Ken said.
They call Cincinnati Reds closer Francisco Codero "Coco" because of the repetition of the syllable in his names. Well, Coco is driving me loco! I can't remember how many saves he has nearly blown this year by giving walks, hits and runs. I do know he has actually blown six saves and lost four games outright.
Well after sweeping Florida, the Reds (with the help of Chicago's taking two pout of three from the Cards) are back in first place. The Cubs did try to cough it up today, almost blowing a seven run lead in the ninth inning.
8/14/2010 - Reds 5 Marlins 4 - The Reds were outhit 8-7 but underscored 5-4. The win puts the Reds in a virtual tie with the Cards for 1st place . Season record now 66-51.
8/13/2010 - Reds 7 Marlins 2 - Right out of the chute the Reds jumped on the Marlins with 3 runs in their half of the 1st. The Reds made the most of their 12 hits while the Marlins only got 2 runs for their 11 hits. Total LOB's was a high 34 for the teams collectively. The Cards look good to keep the lead with a victory over the Cubs. Season record is now 65-51.
8/12/2010 - No game today. Host the Marlins tomorrow.
8/11/2010 - Cards 6 Reds 1 - Maybe the Reds aren't demoralized but I certainly am. A sweep at home at the hands of your arch rival? With a golden opportunity to show the Cards who's boss in a three game home series and to put some distance between them, the Reds failed miserably. Instead of the best case scenario of being up 5 games they got tagged with the worst case scenario of being down 1 game. The Cards outscored the Reds 21-8 in the three game debacle of a series. If one guys bat was as prolific as his mouth in this series things may have been a little different. Season record is now 64-51 one game behind the Cards. Marlins are in town on Friday.
8/10/2010 - Cards 8 Reds 4 - I went to a prize fight and a baseball game broke out. Well not quite but almost. The fireworks got started early with both managers being ejected. The game was close until the 7th when the Cards scored 3 unanswered runs for the final score. Season record is now 64-50 and the Cards lead the series 9-5 no other team has beat the Reds more than 5 times this year. The Cards are now in first by a few percentage points and face the Reds in a day game tomorrow.
8/9/2010 - Cards 7 Reds 3 - Yikes! Let's go back and remove the top of the 4th inning. Reds win 3-0, not quite. OK, let's forget about this one and get ready for the one tomorrow to get that two game advantage back over the Cards. The 4 game winning streak is halted. Season record is now 64-49.
What's lost in the mix is the total domination of Ken over his poor handicapping brothers. Ken has been in first place (best guess) for 84 games in a row and for the 95th time this year. I think he would trade all that for a Reds victory!
8/8/2010 - Reds 11 Cubs 4 - Only a sloppy 7th inning by the Reds when the Cubs scored their 4 runs kept this from being a total laugher. The victory, and sweep of the Cubs assure the Reds will at least maintain their 1 1/2 game lead over the Cards. The cushion could be crucial as the Reds host the Cards tomorrow in a three game series at GABP. Season record is now 64-48 (.571) the highest winning percentage since July 5th and a season high 16 games over .500.
Ken said -
With their arms and their clubs,
the Reds swept the Cubs.
The offense had Stubbs, the defense, few flubs.
Reds fans are cheering in taverns and pubs.
Seriously, five out of six on the road trip, with three at home starting tomorrow night against the Cards, the Reds can make a move. Win one and fall into a tie; win two and go up three; win three and go up five.
The games that I'm dreading are the those in the nine day road stretch when they play Arizona, LA and SF from the 18th through the 26th. They usually fade out out West. Later on, they have four in Colorado Well, like they say, one game at a time.
8/7/2010 - Reds 4 Cubs 3 - Even with 4 walks and one HBP all in the bottom of the ninth wasn't enough for the Cubs to overcome the Reds 3 run lead. Fortunately, those walks and HBP were interspersed around 2 strikeouts and a pop foul to thwart the Cubbies. The Reds have won 2/3's of their last 21 games (14-7). Season record is now 63-48 (.564) the highest winning percentage since July 7th and a season high 15 games over .500.
8/6/2010 - Reds 3 Cubs 0 - The Reds maintain their slim 1/2 game lead over the Cards with the 3-0 victory over the Cubs. This was the 8th win versus 3 losses to the Chicago rival. The Reds also reached a season high 14 games over .500 at the 110 game mark. Season record is now 62-48 (.564) the highest winning percentage since July 7th.
8/5/2010 - No game today, visit the Cubs tomorrow.
8/4/2010 - Reds 9 Pirates 4 - Combined, the two teams score 8 runs in the 7th inning, but fortunately the Reds garnered 6 of those runs to win the game handily. Janish had 3 hits and 4RB's to lead the charge. If you want to find fault with the overall effort there were 13 LOB's for the game. Season record is now 61-48 and a tenuous lead on 1st place.
Dumb stat of the week - The Reds have taken advantage of the Astros, Cubs, and Pirates by securing 22 of their 61 victories from those three teams for 36% of their wins. Conversely, they have lost 10 of 48 to those same teams for a 21% loss ratio. The winning percentage against those three teams is 69%.
8/3/2010 - Pirates 7 Reds 6 - Almost got there from a 7-1 deficit only to come up a little short leaving 23 runners on base. Season record is now 60-48. Thanks to an 18-4 drubbing of the Cards by the Astros the Reds hold onto the slim half game lead in the Central.
8/2/2010 - Reds 4 Pirates 0 - Shutout pitching and a rare inside the park homerun by Heisey highlighted the 7th victory in 11 games against the Pirates this year. As of this writing the Cards were leading the Astros to keep the slim lead in the Central. Season record is now 60-47 and the first time to reach the 13 over .500 mark.
After writing the above the Astros rally big to defeat the Cards and the Reds take over first place.
8/1/2010 - Reds 2 Braves 1 - Only 9 hits between the two teams but the Reds get the unearned run to supplement the one RBI by Phillips to give the rival Braves their second loss in as many days. The Reds still trail the Cards by one-half game due to one extra game in the loss column. Season record is now 59-47.
7/31/2010 - Reds 5 Braves 2 - Scoring 4 runs in the 7th inning the Reds overcome an early deficit to defeat the Braves 5-2. The win gives the Reds a 14-12 record for July and the first victory over the Braves this year. April record 12-11, May 18-11, and June 14-13. May is the month that the Reds were really hot and the others were good but not spectacular. Season record is now 58-47.
7/30/2010 - Braves 6 Reds 4 - In extra innings the Braves beat the Reds 6-4. The game was even in runs and close in hits after 9 innings. The Braves score two in the 10th to ice the game and take a 3 zip lead in heads-up for the season. Season record is now 57-47.
7/29/2010 - No game today. Host the Braves tomorrow.
7/28/2010 - Reds 10 Brewers 2 - After losing the opener to the Brewers the Reds come back strongly in the next two by getting an 8 run victory in both games. Phillips with the grand slam and Votto with the solo shot were two of the reasons for the lopsided victory. The Reds will take a days rest and host the Braves on Friday, whom they haven't beaten in the two outing so far this season. Season record is now 57-46.
7/27/2010 - Reds 12 Brewers 4 - The bats came alive again today19 hits but no homeruns. The Reds are virtually tied with the Cards for first place. Due to other teams in the west and east at the top of the heap the Reds would not qualify for the wildcard if the season were to end today. Season record is now 56-46.
7/26/2010 - Brewers 3 Reds 2 - Homeruns by the Brewers were the difference as the Reds had twice as many hits. The Reds drew first blood but could not hold on as the Brewers score one run late to seal the deal. The Cards are two games up in the loss column pending tonight's game against the Mets. Season record is now 55-46.
7/25/2010 - Astros 4 Reds 0 - OK, tell you what, you shut me out today and I'll shut you out tomorrow. Is that the pact the Reds and the Astros agreed to? Seems like it as the Reds only get thee hits off Astro pitching to relinquish there hold on first place pending the outcome of the Card and Cub game later today. Season record is now 55-45.
7/24/2010 - Reds 7 Astros 0 - Now we're talking. The Reds shutout the Astros to make the season series 7-1 on the plus side for the Reds. The bats were working today as well collecting 14 hits including 3 round trippers. Season record is now 55-44.
Note from Ken - You say tomato and I say tomahto
you go with Cueto and I'll go with Votto,
either way they were all the Reds needed to move back into first place tonight (well, with a little help from the Cardinals' loss to the Cubs). Votto hit a first inning home ruin and Cueto went eight scoreless innings in a 7-0 victory over the Astros.
The Reds beat Roy Oswalt for the second time in a row, something they'd never accomplished before.
7/23/2010 - Reds 6 Astros 4 - Two runs in the 8th by the Reds was the difference in the game. The win enabled the Reds to pick up a full game on the Cards after their loss to the Cubs earlier in the day. Season record is now 54-44.
7/22/2010 - Nationals 7 Reds 1 - After taking the first two games in the four game series the Reds let the last two get away. Pending the results of the St. Louis game (currently in progress) the Reds are 2 games behind, thanks to an eight game win strike by the Cards. The Reds go to Houston start a three game series. The Reds have a five to one edge on the Astros this season. Season record is now 53-44.
7/21/2010 - Nationals 8 Reds 5 - The National's made the most of their 9 hits to score 8 runs versus the Reds 10 hits and 5 runs. Season record is now 53-43.
Note from Ken - Skip, were you aware that the Reds sold out GABP last night due to Strasburg pitching? A sellout on a Wednesday for a last place team when the Reds have been in first place so much of the year and they're barely averaging 22.000 a game otherwise! Go figure. He got the win, which is all that matters, I suppose, but he didn't pitch well in his 5 and 2/3 innings.
7/20/2010 - Reds 8 Nationals 7 - Cruising along at 8-1 the Reds get a wake-up call in the 6th when the Nat's pushed 6 runs across the plate to make it an interesting game down to the final out. A two hour plus rain delay made for a very long evening. Season record is now 53-42.
7/19/2010 - Reds 7 Nationals 2 - In the 4th inning the Reds pushed 4 runs cross the plate as the Reds cruise to the 7-2 victory. Gomes and Cairo provided most of the pop by getting homeruns. Season record is now 52-42.

"Hey guys, not that I just jumped on their bandwagon, but how 'bout them Reds? Last night's game (4/30/2010) was a doozy. Skip, I know you were gone and Jim, you were probably asleep due to the two hour and 32 minute rain delay between the top and bottom of the sixth, but with the Reds leading 3-2 in the bottom of the eighth, the relief pitcher loaded the bases with nobody out. He then struck out the next batter and induced an inning-ending DP out of the next guy. Cordero came on in the ninth to save it for Cueto. I'm surprised they played as long as they did with the rain pouring down almost from the start and lightning flashing, too. The forecast for today's day game is for more of the same in St Louis. I can't understand how the Reds have won five in a row. If you look at the box score, you'll see only one guy batting over .250. I guess the starting pitching is starting to come around.

REDS BEAT AVATAR ROY OSWALT!
Why? Because if you look closely, you can see the winning pitcher for the Reds imbedded therein. I know I'm "different" due to some of the things I think up, but indulge a brother, won't you?
While I'm ranting (being anal?), why do announcers and publications refer to a team as being X games over or under .500? For instance, if its record is 14-10, they say the team is four games over .500, but in reality, since .500 for 24 games is 12, the record is two games over. This is not due to senility, guys, this occurred to me years ago.
I'm out (of it)! Later.

4/13/2010 - Reds 10 Marlins 8 - More extra innings heroics as the Reds get the the 10-8 win in eleven against the Marlins. Votto and Phillips are the late innings stars. Reds now 5-3.
4/12/2010 - Reds 6 Marlins 5 - Scott Rolen was the hero today with 2 homers and an RBI in the tenth to propel the Reds to a 6-5 victory today to take the series first game against the Marlins. The Reds are now 4-3 for the season. Of course Ken is the leader of the Bro's.
4/11/2010 - Reds 3 Cubs 1 - The Reds even up the season record at 3-3 by defeating the Cubs today 3-1. Leaf pitched well in his debut but Masset got the win. The Reds are now off on a 7 game road trip. Ken is right on again with his break even prediction.
4/10/2010 - Cubs 4 Reds 3 - The Reds had a 3-0 lead going into the 4th but couldn't hold the lead. Lose to the Cubs today 4-3. The Reds are now 2-3 for the early season. Jim takes the early lead in the battle of the Bro's. Ken really has the advantage though. If the Reds can some how finish above .500 he is a shoe-in for winner circle of the BOTB's.
4/9/2010 - Reds 5 Cubs 4 - Drew Stubbs hit a grand slam in the 8th with no outs to give the Reds the eventual victory today 5-4. The blast to straight away center came after two walks and a bunt setup the slammy. The Reds are now 2-2 and Ken is right on the money ( here we go again).

Reds perfect season (on the winning side) has ended after the first game. St. Louis takes the opener 11-6. Pujols and Molina doing the damage with 2 home runs and a grand slam respectively. Harang is beat-up as the all time Reds opening series starter. Fans question Dusty Baker's strategy.
