    According to the team press notes Freel and the Reds have agreed to a contract extension through 2009. No word on dollar amounts yet.

    Didn't he just sign one last season? Not that I'm complaining much, hopefully it's a good deal and makes him more trade able if it comes to that.

    Championships for MY teams in my lifetime:
    Cincinnati Reds - 75, 76, 90
    Chicago Blackhawks - 10, 13, 15
    University of Kentucky - 78, 96, 98, 12
    Chicago Bulls - 91, 92, 93, 96, 97, 98

    Considering the Reds current depth in the upper minors this isn't bad move if the money is fair.
    School's out. What did you expect?

    As long as he doesn't block Bruce, Hamilton, whomever when they are ready, sounds fine as long as the dollars are not crazy.

    This has to signal a return to the role of super sub does it not? In coming seasons that is.

    So does this mean his Hall of Fame plaque will be featured with a Reds cap?

    I didn't see this one coming. Kind of shocking, actually.
    ...the 2-2 to Woodsen and here it comes...and it is swung on and missed! And Tom Browning has pitched a perfect game! Twenty-seven outs in a row, and he is being mobbed by his teammates, just to the thirdbase side of the mound.
