Reds and Cubs again today at Wrigley. After a couple of hot weeks, it appears we’re going to have to go back to wondering if the Redlegs are ever going to win again.
Will they?
Discuss it here.

First and foremost, I want to thank everyone who was able to make it to one of my games (at any level) or followed my outings or stats throughout the course of this season. I cannot explain how beneficial the support of friends, family, and fans has been, especially down the stretch...

The Reds play the second of four consecutive day games today, with Justin Lehr returning to the mound after missing a start. He will face Rich Harden and the stinky Cubbies.
What do you guys think of the Cubs? More importantly, what do you think of Cubs fans?

Some Numbers for Marty Brennaman

I had the pleasure of listening to Marty Brennaman and Jeff Brantley do the Reds vs. Rockies post-game show on the drive home from work Thursday. Towards the end of another long, unsuccessful season, and yet another losing road series this season, I wasn’t surprised to hear a...

Frustrating

Yeah, I know the Reds have been out of the race for weeks (months?) and these games don’t mean anything. I understand that. But still…
…the series that ended today against the Rockies was as frustrating as any I’ve watched this season. With just a tiny bit of...
Game Thread: Reds at Rockies — 2009.09.10
September 10, 2009 by
Redleg Nation
| Comments
The Reds finish up a frustrating four-game series in a late afternoon affair against the Rockies. By all rights, the Reds should have won at least two games in the series, and could very well have been going for the sweep themselves.
Unfortunately the lack of offense has killed the...
How good has Bronson Arroyo been?
September 10, 2009 by
Redleg Nation
| Comments
I know we were all clamoring for Bronson Arroyo to be traded a couple of months ago, but he’s been pretty darn good (forgive the strong language) since the All-Star break. How good? OMGReds has some numbers.
I definitely thought trading Arroyo was the right move at the time,...

Mark Sheldon loves the 6:40 game times we’ve seen in Colorado (and Arizona). He suggests that the Reds should consider starting the games a little earlier.
I agree wholeheartedly. What do you think?

Derek Jeter’s hits
September 09, 2009 by
Redleg Nation
| Comments
Congratulations to Derek Jeter for breaking the Yankees’ hit record with 2722. If he were a Red, he would now only be about 635 away from breaking the Reds’ team record held by Pete Rose. And think, he’s only 1534 away from Rose’s career record. So, if he averages...

Today is 09/09/09. I don’t know what that means, but I’m taking it as some sorta weird omen that says the Reds are getting ready to run off a 10 or 15 game winning streak.
Note that I’m not actually predicting that; my predictions never work out so well. I’m...
Will Jonny Gomes be back in 2010?
September 09, 2009 by
Redleg Nation
| Comments
John Fay spoke with Jonny Gomes about whether he’d be back in 2010. That seems to depend on a couple of things.
First, and most importantly, will the Reds offer Gomes arbitration? If they do, Gomes says he would accept.
If the Reds don’t offer arbitration to the big guy...

It’s Matt Maloney vs. Jason Marquis tonight in Colorado. The Reds are looking to get back to their winning ways after having a streak snapped in a heartbreaking loss yesterday.

Sorry for the late game thread; I found myself away from a computer for longer than I thought I would, and evidently none of the other editors check their email very often.
Anyway, discuss what’s left of the game here.
