The Week Ahead
Welcome to the week of November 28, where you can relieve any food guilt or post-Thanksgiving/pre-Christmas torpor with the realization that Redsfest looms on the horizon. Barring a blockbuster trade, the annual Reds-apalooza at the Duke Energy Convention Center will probably be the most significant event in Reds Country at least until the Winter Meetings. It starts this Friday (December 2) and, just like the Mangrove and Sons Septic Tank Servicing Red Reposter, now has a titular corporate sponsor: Fox Sports Ohio.
According to our Red Reporter calendar, you can probably stay in that food-induced coma until friday. Did anyone stop by the Moeller card show?
- Monday: That's today. And if a major league front office is anything like a regular office after a holiday weekend, very little work will get done. Some work might actually get un-done. If someone accidentally gets sent through waivers, I have my own personal opinion on who it should be.
- Tuesday: Chad Reineke will not be going around signing with a bunch of major league clubs because, among other reasons, he just re-signed a minor league contract with the Reds. Reineke pitched earlier this month in the Venezuelan Winter League.
- Wednesday: Will this be the day Yonder Alonso is traded? I can't help but think it won't be.
- Thursday: Deadline to request outright waivers in advance of Rule 5 draft. Unless this too has changed under the new CBA, the Reds are going to have to outright someone from their recently filled-up 40 man if they want to think about taking anyone in the December Draft.
- Friday: Redsfest gets underway in downtown Cincinnati at the Duke Energy Convention Center at 4pm.
Anything to add to the calendar. Drop a line in the thread.

Hey! So did I. I got the turkey burger.

Did you see an awkward overweight guy eating a cheeseburger with a cute girl who ate some sorta non-burger sandwich?
While they both ranted about how their 6 figure private school education got them nowhere in life?

That could have been anyone.
Did you see a lady in a Carmina Miranda-style fruit hat, a man with a Savannah breed house cat on a leash, and two children in matching tweed suits?

It's humpday on the island
And the lines have all gone dead
All the juicy news is history
I guess everything’s been said
If Redsfest is sponsored by FSO, it'd damn well better be on TV.
That was a disgraceful performance, in my opinion. We threw that game, we gave it away. We gave them the fucking game. In my opinion, that sucked. What's that? Playoffs? Don't talk about--playoffs? You kidding me? Playoffs?! I just hope we can win a game!

At least a "cute girls posing with Joey Votto" cam.
by Cuetotally Amazing on Nov 28, 2011 10:49 AM EST up reply actions
or "anyone posing with Joey Votto" cam or just "Joey Votto" cam.
I don't know why my kids call me that. I think I'm a pretty nice mom.
There should be a "Being Joey Votto" movie
which would just be all the members of RR running around going “Weeeeeee! I’m Joey Votto! Watch me hit another homer! Weeeeeee!”

Yeay Guy on a Buffalo!
I don’t think anybody got my joke about him in the last Names of Cincy post.
"You said 'walks' twice."
"I like walks."
I wish I'd known of him sooner.
Dude on a buffalo rocks!

I went to the Moeller Card Show
Met Tony Perez. Very pleasant guy. Of course, we were paying for our autographs so he couldn’t be a big curmudgeon that day.
Respect my authoritah!
Anyone else notice Phillips is yet to confirm for Redsfest?
He’s taking this contract thing out on the fans. Nothing wrong with him wanting top dollar (which the Reds probably can’t and probably shouldn’t pay him), but taking this out on the fans by skipping Redsfest (what’s he trying to do, get us to be pissed at management?) and crying on Twitter is stooping to Ochocino level. Dude needs to grow up.
Respect my authoritah!
his twitter feed has certainly been something to read, that's for sure....
