Dennis Dixon
Monday, November 30th, 2009
If you happen to be watching the Sunday Night Football game tonight, you might have heard them talk about Pittsburgh’s third string QB Dennis Dixon. Dixon, who is getting the start tonight because of injuries, just happend to be a highly recruited baseball player who was drafted in the 20th round by the Cincinnati Reds in the 2003 draft. He never signed with the Reds and went on to attend Oregon.
It only took 19 years
Tuesday, September 22nd, 2009*UPDATERY*
Sorry for my inept attempt at writing an obscure sports fact. While the Reds and Bengals have won 11 times on the same day since 1990, the stat I heard was it was the first time since 1990 either time had won by 7 or more points. The Reds beat San Diego 9-2 on September 23, 1990. Weak, yes I know. I’m sure you’re booing me through the computer right now. Trust me I can hear it. Thanks for the heads up by the few peeps who pointed it out.
Can you believe it was 1990 since the last time the Reds and Bengals won on the same day? Yikes, right?
Reds Interested in Halladay?
Friday, July 24th, 2009According to mlb.fanhouse.com the Cincinnati Reds have an attractive package for Halladay but his no trade clause could make him becoming a Red a problem.
Also thanks to mlbtraderumors for the link to fanhouse.

Thursday, February 12th, 2009Gonzalez 100%
Monday, January 26th, 2009
Looks like Alex Gonzalez will be ready to “participate at 100 percent” on Day 1 of spring training. According to reds.com, Dr. Tim Kremchek examined Gonzalez in Miami, FL putting him through a series of test and agility drills.
This is some surprising news considering a few months ago it didn’t sound like he was anywhere close to being ready for spring training. In 2007, Gonzalez batted .272 with 16 home runs and 55 rbis in 110 games. In comparison, Keppinger batted .266 with 3 home runs and 43 rbis in 121 games last year.
Bench and Morgan on Ellen UPDATE
Tuesday, January 20th, 2009I really hate bumping down Mr. Brett and his diarrhea water story, but to follow up a previous post, heres a clip from today’s Ellen Show with Bench and Morgan. I’m assuming there’s more to it but have yet to find the next clip yet.
Okay here we go, to see more clips from today’s show check out Ellen’s site.
Morgan + Bench + Ellen = Clooney
Friday, January 16th, 2009
Looks like our good friend Ellen had a little help recruiting George Clooney to be on her show by tag teaming with a couple of Big Red Machiners. Apparently Joe Morgan and Johnny Bench somehow lured Clooney onto her daytime show. I’m not quite sure what to make of this story but if you would like to read all about it, click the link below.
