In 13 baseball seasons, the Reds have finished last in their division 4 times. In the NL, only the Marlins have had fewer winning seasons. Of the 13 baseball seasons, Castellini has owned the Reds, the team has had only 3 winning seasons. How about bringing a winning tradition? The numbers are bleak: So how has Castellini’s ownership done? Well, they haven’t won a championship. It may or may not happen overnight, but we will remain focused on bringing a winning tradition and success to the organization." What would he say? What kind of tone would he set? When new Reds CEO Bob Castellini stepped up to a bouquet of microphones, he said, “As life-long fans of the Cincinnati Reds, we bought this team because we want to bring championship baseball to Cincinnati. The press room at Great American Ballpark was filled with journalists eagerly awaiting the man who had just purchased the controlling interest in the Cincinnati Reds. Let’s go back in time and see what we were promised: Man, I hope we’re not halfway through another lost decade. This is the fifth straight season the Reds have missed the playoffs. I don’t know about you but watching these Redsless baseball playoffs gives me the melancholy. If last night’s 8:37 pm start wasn’t late enough, tonight the game doesn’t start until 9:37 pm. Since the Dodgers smacked three homers, the radio audience was treated to 15 “backs” and 3 “gones”. Meanwhile on the radio side, it was Chris Berman. It sure was nice to hear Bob Costas call the game on TV.
In the nightcap, the Dodgers shut out Atlanta 6 to 0.
Remember how Jerry Seinfeld used to say “Newman!” with disdain? That’s how opposing teams are saying “Yellich!”. In baseball, the Brewers walked off the Rockies 3-2 in ten innings with Reds nemesis Christian Yellich involved in all three runs including a two-run homer. It was basically an aerial duel with Brady coming out on top despite two interceptions.
The Pats methodically dismantled the Colts 38-24. Let’s not trash the place, OK?īut first, a quick recap of last night’s games: Doc has given me the keys to this virtual sports bar so a round of virtual Pappy Van Winkle on me.
