March 7, 200718 yr The Reds say it's another creative way to get new revenue out of the ballpark. ^What ever happened to actually putting together a good ball team to make money? I must be old fashioned.

March 7, 200718 yr i sure as hell hope it doesnt look like a riverboat deck...the existance of the "power stacks" is already overboard...hahaha
March 14, 200718 yr Rose to attend Opening Day All-time hit king calls exhibit at Reds Hall 'overwhelming' BY JOHN KIESEWETTER | [email protected] March 14, 2007 CINCINNATI - Reds fans who tour the new Pete Rose exhibit on Opening Day might also see the all-time hit king at the game. Rose, banned from baseball in 1989, is planning to attend his first Opening Day and see his first game at Great American Ball Park. Rose bought two tickets for the April 2 opener, Bob Castellini Jr., Reds Hall of Fame and Museum president, said late Tuesday. Rose, who lives in Los Angeles, had announced that he would be back for Opening Day during a private party Tuesday night for the new "Pete: The Exhibit" in the Reds Hall of Fame and Museum lobby gallery. With Cooperstown still far out of reach, Rose said he's thrilled to be showcased in his hometown Reds Hall. "It's overwhelming, to say the least," he said at a late-afternoon news conference for the new 11-month display, opening Saturday. "To be part of the Hall of Fame - I don't know if (the Reds) will get in trouble or not - but I'm glad they're doing it." (They're not. Major League Baseball officials approved the display) Full story at http://news.enquirer.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20070314/SPT04/703140347

March 29, 200718 yr SI has consistently craped all over Cincinnati sports for as long I can remember. I quit paying SI any attention a LOOOONG time ago.
March 30, 200718 yr so who is going to opening day/being downtown/doing the parade? the one and only pope will be downtown (unfortunately doing work)
March 30, 200718 yr so who is going to opening day/being downtown/doing the parade? I will most definitely be there. I will also be rooting for my hometown team. Go cubbies! 8-)
March 31, 200718 yr I'm probably going to be down there for the parade and at a bar for some drinks and to watch the game (since I don't have tix). If someone wants to possibly meet up PM me and we can discuss it.
March 31, 200718 yr Here is a cool little slide show of the Reds players for the '07 season. Pretty enjoyable...Brandon Phillips is awesome! SLIDESHOW: Reds Double Takes
April 2, 200718 yr BTW...in case I haven't said it before. I LOVE the new uniforms!!! The classic look is something the Reds have been missing. Fantastic move by the front office!
April 2, 200718 yr We looked solid today...good pitching, timely hitting and beautiful uniforms!!! Oh, I also love the look of that new party deck thing out in center field...awesome!
April 2, 200718 yr Adam Dunn started off the season pretty strong, and Harang looked pretty good too.
April 3, 200718 yr Dunn is on pace to hit 324 homers this year and drive in nearly 500. I'm pretty sure he'll fall short of that, though.
April 3, 200718 yr Dunn is on pace to hit 324 homers this year and drive in nearly 500. I'm pretty sure he'll fall short of that, though. so negative...thats the problem with this city!
April 3, 200718 yr Was the mayor's pitch discussed already? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rx6zsub-neU Watch Eric Davis's reaction.
April 3, 200718 yr ^lol....that was quite possibly the worst 'first pitch' that I have EVER seen! Come on Mark; get it together! :laugh:
April 3, 200718 yr I find this kinda funny! Mallory pitches 10 excuses BY JANE PRENDERGAST | [email protected] April 3, 2007 CINCINNATI - Mayor Mark Mallory today released a Top Ten list of reasons why his now-infamous Opening Day first pitch went so wrong: 10. I have a shoulder injury from cracking the whip too hard on council. 9. I got some last-minute tips from Lou Piniella. 8. I was protesting Ken Griffey’s move to right. 7. I didn’t want to show up President Bush. He might put a wiretap on me. 6. I am saving my best stuff for my Bengals tryout. 5. First pitch? I thought I was throwing out the first bowling ball. 4. I grew up in the West End playing on concrete. Throwing on an actual field with grass and dirt threw me off. 3. Eric Davis’ red shoes blinded me. 2. My best sport is Putt-Putt. 1. Eric Davis missed the sign. I called for a pitchout. More at http://news.enquirer.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20070403/SPT04/304030038
April 3, 200718 yr I didn’t want to show up President Bush. He might put a wiretap on me. LMAO! I'm probably going to the game Friday, so expect the Reds to lose.
April 3, 200718 yr ^Well I was planning on going to the game Friday night...maybe now I'll have to reconsider knowing that you're going and all. :wink:
April 4, 200718 yr Ink - stay home!!!!!!!! Grasscat - absolutely hilarious! And Randy, yeah, at least Mallory had a sense of humor about it!
April 4, 200718 yr Was the mayor's pitch discussed already? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rx6zsub-neU Watch Eric Davis's reaction. Juuuust a bit outside.
April 4, 200718 yr ^Jimmy Kimmel said he will have Mark Mallory on his show tonight (weds nite, thursday 1am) to throw some more balls.
April 4, 200718 yr That's fantastic...it is embarrassing, but the best way to dull that edge is to show that he's got a sense of humor about it...
April 4, 200718 yr From www.journal-news.com: Cincinnati mayor to recreate pitch on Jimmy Kimmel Live CINCINNATI — Mayor Mark Mallory, currently surrounded by media buzz because of his Opening Day pitch at the Cincinnati Reds game Monday, is expected to be on Jimmy Kimmel Live tonight. Mallory has been able to laugh and make light of the pitch amidst criticism. He will do a "demo" on JKL, recreating the scene. The Cincinnati mayor appeared on ESPN's "Cold Pizza" and also talked on Q102 this morning about the pitch and how he feels it is bringing some attention to the city.
April 4, 200718 yr Wow...this is kinda cool. Sure it is embarrassing for him, but it is bringing publicity to the city...I'm sure he is getting some plugs in! He has done a wonderful job at turning this into a positive...maybe the whole thing was planned!
April 4, 200718 yr I always like when people can laugh at themselves. As you can imagine, I've become quite good at that myself! :lol:
April 4, 200718 yr I'm a little concerned about the Kimmel appearance. His attempts at humor thus far have not been very funny.
April 4, 200718 yr I've become quite good at laughing at you too! :laugh: Well, you do need something to laugh at, I'm sure DAAP is just a barrel of laughs! ;)
April 5, 200718 yr The Mayor was excellent on his appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live last night...very funny!
April 5, 200718 yr Today's win gets me a free lunch tomorrow from our company's resident Cubs fan - woo hoo!
April 7, 200718 yr I know it's only a few games, but the Reds pitching is doing very well. They won 6-1 tonight. Maybe spring training was not a fluke.
April 7, 200718 yr The four starters thus far had a combined ERA of 2.39...WOW...obviously, we won't keep that up, but that is all the measure you need of how astonishingly well we've pitched so far. Throw in the relievers and it drops to 1.94...again, WOW...
April 7, 200718 yr Any win predictions? I say 90, 2nd in the nl central, losing the wildcard by a game and a half
April 8, 200718 yr Hmmm Maybe 91 wins and the wild card.I think we need a trade for a #3 starter though.
April 10, 200718 yr We had a flat tire on Friday and never made it to the game. You'll notice they won. By the way, Homemade now has a Reds ice cream flavor.
April 10, 200718 yr We had a flat tire on Friday and never made it to the game. You'll notice they won. LOL - that's hilarious...sorry for your luck, though...
