Going Out With a Bang

On Sunday, the 2014 Major League Baseball season officially came to an end for the Cincinnati Reds. Even though the second half of the season for the Redlegs was quite awful, the last two games of the season gave Reds Country something to celebrate.

On Saturday during the second game of the three game series with the Pirates, the Reds' bats awoke from their slumber. They got nine hits and were able to move runners across the plate. The Pirates were also swinging the lumber well and got eight hits off Reds pitching. After nine innings, the Reds and Pirates were in a 6-6 tie.

The Reds held the Pirates scoreless in the top of the 10th and were in prime position for a walk-off win after they loaded the bases in the bottom half of the inning with only one out. However, Brayan Peña hit a popup for the second out of the inning, and it looked like the Reds would squander a golden opportunity.

Enter Ramon Santiago. All the Redlegs needed was a hit, and Santiago delivered in a huge way. He blasted the ball to the left field stands for a walk-off grand slam to give the Reds a 10-6 victory over the Pirates. You can see Santiago’s grand slam here.

Sunday was a different type of ballgame. Instead of both teams scoring runs at will, the game was deadlocked at a 1-1 tie. With a runner on third and one away in the bottom of the eighth inning, Reds pitcher Johnny Cueto hit a ground ball single up the middle of the field to score the go-ahead run. Kristopher Negron added some insurance runs with a 2 run homer before Chapman came in and slammed the door on the Pirates, giving Cueto his 20th win of the season. You can see Cueto’s rbi single here.

The Reds looked good during these two games, and the back-to-back wins over the Pirates this weekend helped cushion the blow of a losing season coming to an end. Even though the Reds are not going to be playing October baseball, the last images of the 2014 season definitely give Reds Country something to look forward to in 2015.

Go Redlegs!

WWE Night of Champions 2014 Thoughts

Ryan of Cincy Fan Zone shares his thoughts on WWE Night of Champions 2014 and the potential aftermath.

Meet Marvin

If you are a fan of Marvin Lewis, then this is the week for you. Fans of the head coach of the Cincinnati Bengals will have the opportunity to see Marvin Lewis in person on Tuesday at Moerlein Lager House and on Wednesday at the Holy Grail Tavern & Grille.

On Tuesday during “Beyond the Stripes” presented by Enquirer Sports at Moerlein Lager House, Marvin Lewis will be the special guest for the football discussion show. Fans usually have the opportunity to attain an autograph from the special guest, so if you do not have the head coach’s signature, you might want to check out this event.

On Wednesday during Local 12’s taping of “Bengals Nation” at the Holy Grail Tavern & Grille, members of Who Dey country will have the opportunity to again see the coach as well as safety George Iloka. Usually the guest player will sign autographs at “Bengals Nation,” but with Marvin Lewis also being scheduled to appear at the event, fans might be able to get both Iloka’s and the coach’s autograph.

Both of these events are great for fans of the Bengals, and I highly recommend going to at least one of them. Even though I got the coach’s autograph on a football at training camp this year, I plan on going to one of these events this week to try to get his signature on my Marvin Lewis bobblehead.

Who Dey!

Bruskies with the Bengals

Ever wanted to knock back a few beers with your favorite Bengals players? Well you won't be able to drink with them, but you can drink and meet them on Tuesdays and Wednesdays during football season.

On Tuesdays at Moerlein Lager House at 7 p.m., Enquirer Sports presents "Beyond the Stripes," a weekly talk show featuring Enquirer Sports reporters discussing football. Aside from the discussion, the show also features a guest in the form of a bengals player. Sometimes the featured player will show off a talent or partake in a trivia game before signing a few autographs for the fans. If you can't make it, you can catch the live online stream of the event at cincinnati.com or on the free Enquirer Sports football app.

On Wednesdays at Holy Grail Tavern and Grille, Local 12 tapes Bengals Nation, a television show focusing on the Bengals that features Marvin Lewis and a guest player each week. Fans in attendance have the opportunity to play games for prizes, attain an autograph from the guest player, and enter a raffle for a chance to win tickets to a Bengals game. In case you are not able to go, you can watch Bengals Nation on Local 12 when it airs on Saturdays at 11:35 p.m.

Both of these events are great opportunities for Bengals fans to meet some of their favorite players as well as get some autographs. I have been to a few of these events and have gotten autographs every time. I was even picked to play a game during the Bengals Nation taping and won a $25 gift card to the Bengals Pro Shop. If you haven't attended to any of these events, I highly recommend you go.

Who-Dey!

Green's Great Grabs

If you watched the Bengals game on Sunday, then you saw the cardiac cats blow a 15-0 lead to the Ravens only to come back and win when Andy Dalton threw a 77-yard bomb to A.J. Green who juggled the ball before securing it and taking it into the end zone. It was an incredible catch and reminiscent of what Green did in Baltimore last year.

The Bengals were down by a touchdown with seconds left in the game. The ball was on their own 49-yard line, and Dalton threw up a prayer. The ball sailed toward the end zone and bounced around twice before landing into the waiting hands of A.J. Green for the touchdown. Unfortunately, the Bengals lost the game in overtime, but what is most remembered from this game is Green’s Hail Mary grab. The catch can be seen here.

On Sunday, Green was once again able to dazzle fans of Who-Dey nation with another incredible catch. He has said multiple times that he was trained in the art of juggling as a kid, and he inadvertently showed off his juggling ability during the game. The Bengals offense had not scored a touchdown all day as they built their 15-0 lead with five field goals. The Ravens climbed back into the game and grabbed a 16-15 lead. With a little over 5 minutes left in the game and the ball on their own 23-yard line, Dalton threw the ball to Green who caught it, juggled it, and caught it again before taking it in for the score. It was the most exciting play of the game, and it gave the Bengals the win. The juggling catch can be seen here.

Green is one of the best wide receivers in the NFL, and these two catches are prime examples of why he is one of the best offensive weapons for the Bengals. I jumped up and cheered like crazy when he made the two phenomenal grabs. The catches were exciting to watch, and they will definitely be featured in the Bengals highlight reel for years to come. Hopefully Green continues to make more phenomenal catches for the Bengals and help lead them to more victories.

Who-Dey!
