Did the Reds do enough during the offseason to make one think they have the personnel to win the division for the second straight season?

Let us begin by expressing how sexy we think Joey Votto is. Moving on. The Cincinnati Reds have agreed to give the reigning National League MVP a three-year contract worth $38 million, buying out his final arbitration years. This is pretty great news for Joey, considering the first baseman made just $525,000 last season. Votto made [...]

The Cincinnati Reds made some news this week when they signed Edgar Renteria to a one-year, $2.1 million contract. The deal also allows Renteria to make another $900,000 in incentives.

Monday was a big day for “Joey’s” across the world. After years of having Joey Harrington, Joey Buttafuoco, and even failed NBC sitcom “Joey” as their standard-bearers over the years, they needed a hero.

Roy Halladay pitched the second no-hitter in MLB postseason history today, as the Philadelphia Phillies beat the Cincinnati Reds 4-0 in Game 1 of the National League Division Series. The only other pitcher to ever throw a no-hitter was former New York Yankees Don Larsen, who threw a perfect game in the 1956 World Series [...]

“It ain’t over ‘til it’s over.” Who said that? Was it Yogi Berra?

There is so much truth in those six words.

Ask Mike Weaver who knocked out Heavyweight champion John Tate (may he rest in peace) with seconds to go in the fight after trailing badly on all score cards.

By the grace of God, the Reds won the series against the Pittsburgh Pirates, instead of losing it 2-1.
