March 31, 201115 yr I really hope the Reds trade Brandon Phillips and do not give him a contract extension. Can't stand the guy. And he needs to pull his pants down. He looks stupid. You can't argue the fact that he is a top 5 2nd baseman every year when all is said and done!
March 31, 201115 yr You can't argue the fact that he is a top 5 2nd baseman every year when all is said and done! That may be the case, but a team like the Reds can't afford to spend 12 million a year for him. If he takes a big pay cut, then I'd be fine with them resigning him...but there's now way his ego will accept a pay cut unless he hits FA and realizes no one will give him that kind of money.
March 31, 201115 yr It's not ideal for me since I'm also a UK fan. But I have the Saturday package for the Reds. I figure I can just listen to the second half of the UK game on my way back from Cincy. That's good enough for me. Something that hasn't happened in 13 years takes a backseat to just another baseball game? I have tickets to Saturday's game as well, as do about 20-30 other people I know. You're the first person I've heard say they're actually going.

You're the first person I've heard say they're actually going. I'm a much bigger Reds fan than UK fan. Plus I've already spent the money on the ticket. If I spend money on something then I'm going to be using it. I'm completely fine listening to the second half on my way home from the game. I'm not a huge UK fan like I am a huge Reds fan. I've a very casual UK fan. If it fits into my schedule, i'll watch the game. If it doesn't, I don't go out of my way to try and see it. As you can probably tell by how I spend most of my posts on here.

I personally think BP will have no problem getting a nice deal somewhere should the Reds not be willing to give it to him..Off the top of my head Dodgers, Mets, Tigers, Cardinals are all teams that would've willing to pay BP
March 31, 201115 yr Way to start the season off with beating a Milwaukee team that should be better than last season. Hernandez was absolutely clutch today and showed why I consider him one of the key players on the team. Some of my relatives, friends, and others complained about him a lot early on last season and I considered him one of the main players of the team. Offensively, things look good as long as they don't keep on leaving the guys on base that they did and if the bullpen can improve.
March 31, 201115 yr Man, what a great win!!! Love it baby! I love this team because we always have a different hero it seems!
March 31, 201115 yr So I was reading the ESPN recap of the game and they mentioned that the Reds had only met the Brewers twice on opening day. Their other meeting was in 2000, which was also Ken Griffey Jr.'s first game as a red. That was also my first ever trip to opening day, I was 15 and took the tank bus down to Covington from Independence. ESPN also went on to talk about that game ending in a 3-3 tie because the game was rained out. Which was also the only tie either team has ever had on opening day, I never realized my first opening day was so relevant other than the start of Ken Griffey's sad stay in Cinci.
