Redleg Nation would like to congratulate our Player of the Month for July: Joey Votto.
Votto is the first two-time winner of the award in 2009, and his July was outstanding. Votto played in 27 games, hitting .324/.352/.598, with 5 doubles, 1 triple, 7 HR, and 13 RBI. Although he has slowed down a bit lately, he’s still the most productive Red by far.
Keep up the great work...

Before the Aaron Harang took the mound against the Cubs tonight, Thom Brennaman was heard to say on the pre-game show that this game is a “must-win” for the Reds. This got me to thinking: do the Reds need to win tonight’s game? It’s only the grace of the Pirates’ loss last night that the [...]

You know how every team has that day when the kids come on the field to greet the players as they take their position? The players usually greet them with a high five, ask them a couple questions, sign a baseball, and point them towards the exit.

On one hand, for two reasons I'm hoping the Reds get crushed. First, Cincinnati is on a downward spiral and the Cubs need to take advantage of their collapsing opponent. Second, I don't hate the...

Extra! Extra! Read all about it: The Cincinnati Reds are now in the cellar.
It took them all year to do it, but by God they did it! Move over Bucs.
Six losses in a row—that ties our season high. But hey, the Cubbies are in town tonight so it could get worse.
Six losses in a row...is that so bad? It could be worse, but when you look back beyond that last win you...

Aaron Harang looked as sharp as ever Tuesday, but a fat pitch to Mike Fontenot in the second inning resulted in a three-run homer and proved to be the game-winner in a 4-2 Cubs win.
Randy Wells is awesome. And I don't say that because of his talent, or the hot winning streak that he's on right now.
I say it because he's a great reminder that for all of the scouting reports...
