January 6th. The Epiphany, the day the Baseball Writers of America may or may not have an epiphany and do the right thing.

Look, I have to do something I don't normally do, because I think it's important.

Yep, he did.  Homer Bailey won NL Player of the Week for kicking ass.  Actually, if you think about it, the fact that Homer won 8 games this year and wasn't up with the Reds all year is pretty darn awesome. And to think he was also the victim of a couple of blown saves.

I'll never forget that Major League debut, when I stayed home on a Friday night just to watch the game, only to lose electricity after the fifth inning due to a storm. I got out a transistor radio and dialed up 700 WLW all the way here in Washington, DC.

Oh, if I had the time, I'd go through and post all of those comments saying Homer would never be a Major League pitcher and we should trade him and blah, blah, blah, but I don't have the time, and really, what's the point? I'm just reveling in the sweet Homer goodness that was promised to us all of those losses ago.

To those who were calling to trade Homer in the spring - Ha!  What do you think now?

(So we got two POW's in a row? Next year's not looking so bad...)

Ok, I know Joey isn't back yet, but I'm quite certain he's gonna be back on Tuesday.  He wants to play, he's been fine in two rehab stints (three I guess - I don't know what happened today), and it is his hometown.  So let's watch together (and Gray's in town so we'll want to treat him to a good old fashioned DC gathering of Reds fans.)

It's a real shame that we can't get together to see the Reds for at least one game this week.  Or maybe no one saw the announcement.  Come on!  Solidarity!  (We're the Reds, after all.)

What do you think of him now?

Game times this week Reds at Nationals Park - Tuesday and Wednesday @ 7pm, Thursday @ 4:30.  Let's all sit together and form a massive red block.

Last time we had five people gather at Momo's on U Street.  It would have been more, but we had to move from Solly's because they got rid of their Extra Innings package, and several people told me they showed up at Solly's after the second inning, when we moved.

Anyway, come and watch the first place (hopefully still) Reds with fellow fans on Wednesday, May 20 at Momo's on U Street (the address is 1300 something).  They take on the World Champion Phillies at 7:10pm. 

Next month's gathering?  At Nationals Park!  To see the Reds live!  The Reds from Cincinnati!  Three days in a row!  The game on Thursday, June 11 oddly starts at 4:35, so we'll have to get together for post-game drinks.

Hi guys, trying to organize a game watching together meeting in the nation's capital.

The details:

Wednesday, April 29 @ Solly's on U Street.  Game time is 7pm.  Wednesdays are the day when the guy from Ohio works there.  Bar is located near U Street Cardoza Metro Station on the Green Line.  They had a car drive through the building last year but they still opened up that day despite the fact that they had no wall.  Gotta love a place like that.

Trying to make this a monthly thing because it's always better to watch a game together than alone.  Would like to fill up the downstairs part of the bar with Reds fans.  It's about time we have a Reds bar in this city since there are enough of us here.  Also, I have two cans of Skyline if anyone wants me to bring them.  Ha ha.

Ignore the fact that is was me who posted this and just come and watch a game with Reds fans!  Woo!
