06/01/13- Redlegs vs. Pirates

[scott91575]

Tonight's unis are based on the Cincinnati Tigers from the Negro Leagues, about whom wiki has this interesting note:
"Using Cincinnati Reds hand-me-down uniforms, the Tigers played at Crosley Field, often outdrawing the Reds."

I found that interesting too, and I was hoping for a citation on that. I can't find any attendance numbers on the team, but the Reds only averaged 5000 a game that year and the Pirates didn't play many games. I suppose it could be possible, but I am not sure there is any reputable info on attendance.

Cozart gets the first hit for the Reds; Liriano unable to field the ball.

[Reds Fanatic]

Finally a hit by Cozart

[redsfaninbsg]

A hit!

[dsmith421]

Crushed that one.

[foxfire123]

Cards with a run in bot 3 and still hitting, 1-0 STL over SF

UPDATE....Cards with 3 runs in the 3rd and still hitting, 3-0 over SF

Are these %$#%&(*'s ever going to go away?

[50YrRedsFan]

Cardinals settle for 3 in the 3rd, 3-0 over SF, top 4.

[ProfessorTofty]

Votto just thrown out, but the runner advances to second.

[Red Raindog]

I wonder what was on Votto's mind.....

[scott91575]

Did he have control of that ball?

[dsmith421]

Cardinals settle for 3 in the 3rd, 3-0 over SF, top 4.

Make sure to keep us updated on all possible bad news for the Reds. You're doing a fantastic job.

Liraino only 29 in Dominican years, which I believe means he is about to get his AARP card.

[New York Red]

Was the site down for awhile or was it just me?

[New York Red]

OK, just noticed the gap in posts. Must have been the site down.

[ProfessorTofty]

Yep, site's been down. I only just got access back myself Reds have 1-0 in the sixth.

Two-out hit just now by Phillips to keep things going for Jay Bruce.


The Reds scored their run not long after the site went down on a couple of odd infield hits. The announcers were just noting that before that Phillips one just now, the Reds had only had one other hit out of the infield.
