Votto is Canadian Athlete of the Year
Posted on 16 Dec 2010 by Dave Allen.
Here's something even Joey Votto didn't anticipate. On December 14, it was announced that Votto was the winner of the 2010 Lou Marsh Award as Canada's Athlete of the Year. In a year where Canada won Olympic Hockey Gold, this was huge. “It almost would have been better if you'd given it to the national hockey team,” Votto told the Toronto Star. “I'm really honored to win this c...

Big Red Machine on MLB Network
Posted on 29 Nov 2010 by Dave Allen.
I just got word that MLB Network's fine Studio 42 program will be featuring three members of the Big Red Machine on Friday night at 8:00. Johnny Bench, Tony Perez and Joe Morgan will be Bob Costas's guest on the hour-long show. I find it interesting that the program is set to air during the first night of Redsfest in Cincinnati, but DVR's are wonderful inventions. Head to the Convention Center ...

Game One Thoughts
Posted on 6 Oct 2010 by Dave Allen.
The date was July 30, 2010. The teams were the Phillies and the Reds. The pitching matchup was Roy Halladay (9-6, 2.29) vs. Aaron Harang (6-7, 5.07). Who do you think won? If you said the Reds, you are right! Trailing 3-0 entering the bottom of the 6th, the Reds got a leadoff homer from Joey Votto to make it 3-1. Orlando Cabrera got a 1-out single to score Ramon Hernandez in the 7th to cut it ...

Memories of 4,192
Posted on 11 Sep 2010 by Dave Allen.
It was one of those records that they said would never be broken. The 4,191 hits in the career of Ty Cobb. But then came along Peter Edward Rose, breaking into the major leagues in 1963. He was young and brash with a flattop haircut, like he'd just gotten out of the army. And there was the hustle. The thing that most endeared him to the Cincinnati fans was his hustle. It didn't matter what the ...

Reds TV Schedule
Posted on 9 Sep 2010 by Dave Allen.
Every Reds game will be televised for the rest of the 2010 season. Today's afternoon game at Colorado will be aired nationally on MLB Network at 3 PM, Cincinnati time. The rest of the schedule will air on Fox Sports Ohio, except for the 9/25 game at San Diego. That game has been changed to a 4:10 start to air nationally on FOX. In addition, George Grande makes his return to the Reds broadcast b...

Positive News
Posted on 30 Aug 2010 by Dave Allen.
It seems like every time I post something about the Reds, it's negative. Maybe my blood gets to boiling after a disappointing loss or series and I just have to write something. But not today. Not after the Reds finished off the Cubs to win yet another series, and improve their record to 20-games over .500. Can you believe it? I've been covering this team since spring training began in Arizona. ...

Reds Not Ready For The Spotlight
Posted on 10 Aug 2010 by Dave Allen.
The Cardinals have come to Cincinnati and have shown the Reds how far they truly have to go to be ready for the national spotlight. The Reds came into the series brashly behind their trash-talking, Chad Ochocinco-esque, second baseman, Brandon Phillips. Phillips went on an I-hate-the-Cardinals rant before Monday’s game to Hall of Fame writer Hal McCoy that was worthy of legend. Off-color lang...

Reds-Nationals on MLB Network 7/22 at 12:30
Posted on 21 Jul 2010 by Dave Allen.
Just a few quick hits today as Stephen Strasburg-mania comes to Great American Ball Park. I've seen on StubHub where many fans have listed their tickets for resale at $1,000 a pop. I was incredulous when I saw that yesterday afternoon. Did you know that Strasburg and Mike Leake were once little league teammates in San Diego. They played on an 11U team called the San Diego Sting. Strasburg was t...

Philly One-Ups The Reds… Again!
Posted on 11 Jul 2010 by Dave Allen.
That’s three in a row down to defeat, all in extra innings, and all at Philadelphia. The Reds haven’t had the success in the win column this weekend, but they have shown a continued ability to battle. And they’ve shown it at the home of the defending NL Champions. Truthfully, I don’t think this weekend has been as much of a negative as most fans might think. The Phillies are a pretty go...

Reds Pass Test in Cleveland
Posted on 23 May 2010 by Dave Allen.
The season is a marathon, not a sprint, and it contains many twists and turns. Certainly, the week just ended had a few of those for Cincinnati. It was nice to see the Reds bounce back from their nightmare on Peachtree Street to take two of three from the Indians. It allowed Reds fans to exhale a bit, even if the team made it into first place again on Saturday, but then dropped back down to 2nd...

Reds Fall Back To 2nd In Spectacular Fashion
Posted on 21 May 2010 by Dave Allen.
Well, that was certainly unbelievable. It was one of those miracle comebacks that happen once or twice a year. And the nation got to watch it. Normally, I would write a bit of a recap, framed in the thoughts of a player. But this is my blog, so I decided to share my own thoughts here. In case you missed it, the Reds had an 8-0 lead over the Braves in the 3rd inning. Joey Votto had clubbed his f...

Heyward Shines vs. Reds
Posted on 20 May 2010 by Dave Allen.
Some losses are tougher to take than others. I don’t exactly know where Wednesday night’s 5-4 loss at Atlanta ranks, but I’d say at least an 8 on a scale of 1-10. The Reds had a few chances to score runs before they did some actual damage in the 8th. Their best chance came in the 5th when Aaron Harang began things with a lead-off double. Orlando Cabrera got him to 3rd on a ground out, but...
