Homer Returns

The Reds are calling up Homer Bailey for this week's road trip to Philly and Florida. The Bats pulled him in the third inning of his start today to give him the news and the rest. He'll take the mound on Thursday against the Phils, replacing Fogg Hat as the 5th starter in the rotation. Reds are looking to call up the rest of the Bats over the next month or so, replacing all the dipsticks they picked up in the off season.

Let's hope Homer's stuff gets cranked up a notch Thursday... he hasn't exactly been lights out in Louisville during his past few starts. He'll be facing a Phillies team that can absolutely rake... in a ballpark made just for rakers.

Goodyear is Go

This ugly little guy has a lot to cheer about - the Reds are moving out to his turf in Arizona for Spring Training activites. He's stoked. He's said in the past that he is excited about the Indians moving out there, but deep inside he's a Reds fanatic. Apparently dude is a big fan of Jeff Keppinger. Who knew?

Anyways, the news it out... Goodyear, Arizona has approved the chish cash to build the stadium and the Reds are heading out there for the 2010 season warm-ups games.

Sorry, Sarasota... ya had ya chance.

You know you love Javy in the lineup, you do! Admit it. He's going to break out the whooping stick tomorrow.

So, two OMGreds.com staffers scored Opening Day tickets and will be tossing up some photos on the OMGreds.com Photo Blog during the game. Nothing exciting, really... or maybe it will be? Tune in, yo.

Music to my ears...

Pitchers and catchers report. It's the four words we've been longing to hear since the end of the Reds regular season.


And this is a a nice sight, Homer Bailey and Jay Bruce working out on what looks to be a beautiful day in Sarasota. Hopefully we see a lot more of these two this year up here in Cincinnati. Photos by Jeff Swinger/Cincinnati Enquirer.
