Tonight kicks off our series of Game Threads on the classic Reds games FSN Ohio is running from now until spring training starts.
The Reds need a big win tonight to keep in the division race. They'll take on the Padres tonight in a game to at least split the series. They take on Eric Show, who has been pitching well lately. Good thing we have the young Tom Browning on the mound, who's put up quality starts in 8 of his last 9 starts. Any other storylines happening in this game tonight?
Oh yeah, Cincinnati's favorite son, Pete Rose, is one hit away from breaking Ty Cobb's record. Will tonight be the night? Let's cheer on Charlie Hustle! He's the best!
