The Cincinnati
Reds finished the 2006 season at 80-82. The Reds have the potential
to make a run at the NL Central division championship with some big
seasons from key players on the team. The Reds will need career years
from Aaron Harang, Bronson Arroyo, Brandon Phillips, Adam Dunn, and
most importantly Ken Griffey Jr to make a playoff push. The Reds last
played in the playoffs in 1995, sweeping the LA
Dodgers then being swept by the Atlanta Braves
in the NL Championship. The Reds built Great American Ball Park in
2003 and tearing down Riverfront Stadium. The Reds do have a chance
to make a postseason run in 2007, unlikely, but possible. The Reds
last won the world series in 1990
sweeping Mark McGwire
and the Oakland Athletics. Choose from

Information
- In the first ever
professional baseball game the Cincinnati Red Stockings defeated
the Mansfield Independents 48-14 with a total payroll of $11,000.
The star shortstop was George Wright who made $2,000 per year.
- The Red Stockings
along with being the first professional baseball team also hold
the record for the longest winning streak at 130 games. Their
streak ended in 1870 as the Brooklyn Atlantics defeated them 8-7
in 11 innings.
- Since the formation
of the National League the Reds have won 5 World Championships
in their 9 trips to the World Series including their first in
1919 which was tarnished by the Black Sox scandal.
- The Reds hosted the
first Major League night game on May 24, 1935 as they defeat the
Philadelphia Phillies 2-1 in front of 20,422 fans. In their seven
night games that year the Reds attracted an average of 18,000
fans, 13,400 more than the average that day games brought into
the stadium.
- The Reds welcomed
fans to the first game played at the Great American Ballpark on
opening day of 2003. The home of the Reds had been Riverfront
Stadium, also known as CINergy field, since 1970. Buy Reds Tickets
2002 was the final season at CINergy field and started off as
it would be very successful. Despite losing Ken Griffey Jr. to
an early knee surgery the Reds were dominating and held on to
first place when Griffey returned. However, the return of Griffey
seemed to drag the Reds down as he hit only 8 HRs and 23 RBIs
in 70 games. The Reds struggled in the 2nd half and finish below
.500 with a 78-84 record. Fans hoped with the opening of their
new stadium the Great American Ballpark would bring the Reds a
winning season to rebound from the struggles of the year before.
Unfortunately the opening day 10-1 loss to the Pirates was a prediction
of the unsuccessful season. The Reds would lose 14 of their first
20 games as Ken Griffey Jr. was injured early once again. April
showers must bring May flowers because as May came the reds won
15 of their next 21 games to climb back over .500. July brought
the return of Griffey as he hit 5 homers in his first 5 games
back. After playing a total of 55 games in 2003, Griffey was forced
to sit out again due to an ankle injury. The Reds finished the
season in 5th place with a record of 69-93.

Reds Team Report (Yahoo! Sports)<p><p>The Reds are suffering through a rash of torn labrums. Danny Richar became the second Cincinnati infielder in 11 days to go on the disabled list with that specific injury, joining Wilkin Castillo.</p>

<p>"He got on me big-time," Baker said. "He said, 'Guys like Johnny Bench and Mike Scioscia and Jerry Grote—they'll hurt you.' Well, they won't hurt you, but you'll hurt...
