Mr. Redlegs has some competition...

The new Rosie Red mascot was revealed to the Reds faithful during last night's thrashing by Oswalt and the Houston Astros. Hot! I feel...confused. Is that wrong? Looks like the fans in the stands that night had a similar reaction (check the dude in the yellow shirt...)

Yeeouch.

The omgreds mascot took a spill before yesterday's homerfest. Check it out here. No worries, he's fine. Mr. Redlegs has a head of steel...um, even though it fell off.

OK, what's the deal, Griff? I don't know if you've noticed, but you've been homerless for, like, two weeks now. Your hitting's up a little bit (of course, anything is better than that freakin' .238 batting average) but I put you on my team for some power. The rest of my team mostly picks up hits and caught stealings. Oh, and speaking of that - why did you try to steal a base yesterday? That was crazy.

Remember that one week when you hit two home runs? I really liked that. My advice is to do something like that again.

Oh, and what's this crap about being traded? You're the only representative from the Reds I have on my team! I felt the need to represent Cincinnati with the only player I remember from when I last followed baseball (that said, I'm glad I didn't pick my other "veteran" options - Sheffield or Thomas). Maybe I shoulda picked up a fancy new Red like Keppinger or Volquez instead. Hey, I didn't want to say it, but these are dire times...

I know the Reds are already off to a rough start, but maybe now you can focus on the people who pretend to own you on their fake teams. OK, that's my pep talk. Thanks for hearing me out.

Remember, keep repeating to yourself...

It's just a game.
