Hopefully, we will see more small ball as Spring training goes on. And Homer Bailey enjoys hurting himself in the off-season:

Bailey dodged serious injury in off-season

SARASOTA, Fla. — It's always strange how baseball injuries happen in the most unexpected of ways — and times.
Homer Bailey, Exhibit A. Two off-season incidents were, uh, scary.
First, while fooling with a hunting bow in October, a string snapped between the index and middle fingers of his pitching hand.
"Seven stitches," he said. "I put the last stitch in myself and took them all out two weeks later.
"Fortunately I missed the tendon and I was thinking two things — a real serious injury or I'm going to be able to throw one hell of a split-finger."
Then came December and while lifting Bailey dropped an 84-pound weight on his LEFT hand — fortunately the left hand.
"Hurt like hell," he said. "I couldn't even stick my hand in my glove. It's OK, though."
Had it been his right hand, well, that No. 5 spot in the rotation might not be in his future.

Hopefully we just see more runs scored than allowed.

Maybe if it had been on his head instead of his hand a number better than 5 would be in his future.

Yeah, it's that song, with shots of red and white paint being thrown together, interspersed with clips of Reds players getting picked off at second base and misjuding fly balls and stuff. It's bad.

They should add clips of Dusty filling in the lineup card to that.

I have contended for a long time now that the only music that needs to be played when the Reds take the field, come to the plate or are advertised on TV is circus music. It should be their theme song untill they can break .500.

Nick Lachey to throw out 1st pitch opening day!!!!!! This could be the best move all off-season by the Reds if he brings his lady friend Vanessa Minnillo along.
