Cincinnati Reds (2026 Season Thread)

He’s going to strike out 200 times and his OBP will probably be sub-.300. I’ll live with that if he hits 45 homers again.

Too bad he’s going to get eaten by a pack rabid possums before the season even starts.

Semantics but I file "rabid opossum attack" under "bizarre gardening accident".

Dead is dead though.

How's the weather?

Received almost 13 inches snow in Oak Island, NC…
Got an honest foot here in Mooresville.

Moving to NC we were told that we wouldn't need a snow shovel. They lied. We needed two.

After 2-inches of ice last weekend and basically destroying a flat head shovel clearing 250-ft worth of drive way, at least this week the snow was pure powder and a combination of snow shovel, push broom and leaf blower and we're good to go.

It's beautiful, but damn...

2025-2026 Ohio State Men's Basketball

10 games left...6 wins to get to 20 on the season.

Wins I see: Maryland, USC, Iowa, Ped State

Toss-ups: Virginia, Indiana, Wisconsin

Unlikely to win: TCUN, Purdue

Not winning: @Sparty

I think if they can get to 20 wins against what they have left, and maybe win a game or two in the Big Ten tournament, they get in. We'll see - they could easily blow any of the 4 games they "should" win at the top too...
Must win: Maryland, USC, Wisconsin, Iowa, Ped State, IU
Steal one of these: TCUN, Virginia, MSU, Purdue

Without a fully healthy Tilly, I just don't see it happening.

Ohio State @ Wisconsin, Saturday Jan. 31, 2pm EST, FOX

Don't really believe that the Buckeyes were playing bad defense - against the 3's. They WERE playing bad defense when the ally oops were going over our smallish team for lay-ups. Wiscy was raining three's from all over the court, and our 3 machines weren't answering. PS, to the above opinion that we have a brutish 5, who has the attitude 'get the ball', believe he's sitting on the bench right now, nursing an injury. (Xfer from Baylor). Have no clue what the injury is, but hope he's doing his cardio, so if he can get ready for the Dance or ? he's ready. "Puff" doesn't seem to be cutting it when he's in. Not really certain what he does, but haven't seen any of it....
Ojianwuna tore his acl a year ago and is still recovering from surgery. He's pretty much been ruled out for the season. Puff looks like a guy that doesn't know the system but is out there doing what he can. To be expected since he hasn't practiced with the team and I'm sure what practices they have now are not focused on learning the system. Just not a good situation when it comes to depth.

Ohio State @ Wisconsin, Saturday Jan. 31, 2pm EST, FOX

Will say in Dieb's defense, that his 'one-and-done' transfers in are heads and shoulders above last year's. Injuries have derailed the front court, and the backcourt has been better than OK. Tilly is gone, and not certain about Noel, and the xfer from Baylor. Thornton is also gone, and who knows who else transfers out. tOSU does get in a couple of superior freshmen, and Bynum is going to be a sophomore. Optimism abounds, however.
At this point, not certain Diebs has what it takes to get the Buckeyes 'over the top', but/and not certain what sort of NIL Bjork is willing to spend on the basketball bucks (or WBB).

Ohio State Women's Basketball (2023-24 B1G CHAMPS)

Both wife and I thought the same thing. There were/are a number of players, that for whatever McDuff's reason, haven't cleared the pine most of the year, even in the run-aways. Well, they played yesterday. Had the booklet they give away at games (from games we went to), and looked up their number/stats. Couple of transfers, and several freshwomen that really hadn't gotten any court time. Hey, does anyone know what Kitt is suffering from, and when will she return? She takes rebounding pressure off of Elsa, who by the way, is looking better and better. And don't know of any center that runs the court the way she does.....

What song are you listening to right now

Most of the above, I still have some dim knowledge about. Some of which you mentioned, do not. Still have a modicum of vinyl, and daughter has a turntable! Brother has most of my 60's albums, from Psychadelic Pop, to the White Album (have that in three mediums). Bet when you go on a bender, your neighbors wonder at the sounds emanating from your house.....enjoy!

How's the weather?

I'm in Miami FL and it is fricken cold, i.e. 40°......and it is only suppose to get up in the 50s today.

Take a look at how Miami (and its iguanas) fared on a record-cold January day

MIA_3_Frozen_Iguanas_MJO.JPG
An iguana is seen laying on the ground in a neighborhood as temperatures dip into the 30s as a cold front makes its way across South Florida on Sunday, Feb. 1, 2026, in Pembroke Pines, Fla.

Miami woke up to temperatures in the 30s Sunday — enough to break a 117-year-old record. The temperature at Miami International Airport at 6:53 a.m., which registered as 35.1 degrees with a wind chill of 27, beat the previous Feb. 1 record low of 36, set in 1909.

While South Florida didn’t get any snow, there were flurries in other parts of the state, including Jacksonville, Tampa and Bradenton. In Miami, it’ll get cold again in the overnight hours from Sunday to Monday, with a low of about 36 degrees and wind chill bringing it down to about 31.

OC Arthur Smith (Official Thread)

Day basically said "anyone who knows football said it was a homerun hire." Looking forward to what he brings to the table.
Reminds me the time my son’s school principal sent out an email to tell parents not to teach their children math. I truly admired his courage considering that it was in Hong Kong and most of the parents were Chinese.
