What does closing a foundation have to do with baseball or Cincinnati? Could Votto not simply keep his foundation running in any other city he went to if he didn't like Cincinnati? Believe it or not it is completely possible that Votto just made a business decision that worked best for him. And to say it makes him look bad is a little much. You have no idea what may have been going on with the foundation.

Seriously.. This is the first year I can remember actually enjoying watching the Bengals play. Probably the most complete team in the NFL right now and people still find something to complain about. Enjoy it.

Don't go down the hole. I appreciate these conversations. Makes things interesting. And I appreciate/respect it even more when someone has the intestinal fortitude I admit they're wrong.

^^ which Holmberg started by the way..

Holmberg came in for Axelrod against the cards 1 game and the reds lost. Came in for Latos another game and lost. Only win Holmberg has is against the Brewers just recently

As a matter of fact I'm reading a blog post right now that is speaking directly about the reds bullpen being 0-16 which you have told everyone on here is wrong. So again enlighten me

Literally went through every win since the break and every one is won by the starter so please enlighten me

What's more funny than all of this is where your getting your information. What game did the bullpen win? They most definitely have not won a game since the break. Go through their wins one by one (trust me it won't take too long

Well clearly you didnt as you had to explain to me what 0-16 meant and if you cant laugh or atleast not take the Reds seriously by now then I think its time to turn the computer and tv off.

It was a joke...

ya 16 of them for the other team

You just repeated what I said. We are in agreement. My point was goodell, the fans, media, etc etc all knew what happened from the very start. Rice told them what he did and the video did nothing but confirm what he said. So like I said, everybody knew what happened and he should have been punished from the beginning not given a suspension and then when the video comes out confirming what we already knew cut him and suspend indefinitely.

What a backwards world we live in. I think this is all ridiculous. Issue number 1- what did this video change? Rice was suspended for "knocking a woman out". Rice publicly said "i knocked my fiance out". Now a video of Rice "knocking a woman out" goes public and everyone is in a craze. The video did nothing but confirm what everyone already knew. Rice should have been cut and suspended indefinitely from the very beginning if he is being suspended now for the video. I do not condone anything that Rice did and I think its disgusting but does nobody else see how ridiculous the media makes things? Issue number 2- I have said this once in an earlier thread already. Why in the world is everybody in uproar now? Do some research. DV is and has been one of the most prevelant crimes for a very long time. And now that a person of celebrity status is caught doing it, its a huge issue. This is all a slap in the face to every person who has been a victim of DV in their life. Was their experience not worth this coverage? Sad that it has to take a celebrity doing something ridiculous to get people to change.

St Henry was in the 33rd district with Ryle, Conner, Boone, and previously Simon Kenton until 2007. They had some very good and talented teams in the early 00's (01-03) and mid 00's (06-07). I gotta believe if they played in the district they do now with some of those teams they would have won a lot more championships.

So JJ Hoover was optioned to Louisville today.. So we let Hoover work out his "confidence" issues while still in the race and now when we are pretty much down and out and a perfect time to take care of "confidence issues" we send him down?

Tends to happen when the assistant AD is the track/cc coach and the head AD is his best friend...

Someone's sensitive. And why no names? This is a thread about St. Henry with no doubt people from St. Henry in it. If they don't know their principal, assistant principal, and athletic directors then they're a little of base with bashing the administration. And I only brought them up to prove a point that they did attend games when I attended St. Henry. Nothing wrong about that

Well that's completely different from what you said before. You said nothing about banquets or games. No doubt they're aren't leaving because of that. When I played there Otte, Gish, Grau, and Harden came to games.

Agree to an extent but the administration did have something to do with Bieger, Terrell, and Mullins leaving. The administration is also responsible for the Collins hire. Anybody that knew Collins track record knew he wasn't in it for the long haul. Only until something better came around. And the administration is also responsible for finding a coach who is committed to the program. So in a way, it does fall on the administration.

It's not all on the coach to do fundraising. It's on the coach to organize the fundraising. It falls on the parents and players to participate and make something of the fundraising.

There is never anybody stopping you from using a good old fashioned rake and edger. Pull some some weeds, level things out, take care of your dirt and grass, clean things up, etc etc.. You'd be surprised how far that will go. As far as moving a fence and things of that nature, while it may be wanted, it certainly has no bearing on having a good looking field.

The argument of St. Henry only giving money and caring about certain sports is a tired one. I went to St.Henry. I played both baseball, basketball, and soccer. St. Henry has never been and never will be a "baseball school". If you want the field to look like it did then I suggest you take after the coaches and kids that built the field into one of the best in te region. Even before Walts money, Bieger was there and he is who built that field into what it was. Let's just say I doubt he had the money that Walt did. So, if you want the field to go back to what it was then get your butts out on the field and work on it because I can guarantee you, your not going to get any help from the administration.

Any rumors or thoughts on who would be a good fit at St. Henry?

I find that hard to believe but numbers don't lie. What are the numbers with runners in scoring position and less thAn 2?

Reds have got to be the worst team in baseball hitting with runners at third and less than 2 outs.
