In today's Cincinnati Fast Break I tackle the Stanley Cup Finals, the shameful rioting that took place in downtown Vancouver, and the Reds playing much better ball in completing a sweep of Los Angeles in SoCal.

Jim Tressel Out at Ohio State
In today's Cincinnati Fast Break, I discuss the end of the Jim Tressel era at Ohio State, how his negligence will be felt for years to come in Columbus, and the Reds opening a long home stand with a solid victory over the Milwaukee Brewers.
This may be the way Jim Tressel's impact will be felt at Ohio State for a long time.

Reds End Losing Streak and Miami Heat Fans FAIL
Today in the Fast Break, I talk about the Reds snapping their six-game losing streak, continuing to fine tune some of the bigger problems for this club, and how the fans of the Miami Heat only show up for the postseason, just like the team.

Yes, I know I'm a couple days late on this, but it's still awesome.
And there's this bit of awesomeness from Tosh.0.
Follow me on Twitter. Enjoy some more fake movie trailer action. Although I'd buy a ticket to see this one.

Reds Swept by Indians
The Break is back! Today's Cincinnati Fast Break tackles the Reds five game losing steak, more awful pitching from Edinson Volquez, and the possibilities of a really long week as the road trip shifts to Philadelphia.

Reds Sweep Cardinals
In today's Cincinnati Fast Break, I cover the Reds sweep of the St. Louis Cardinals, how these current Cardinals might be disappointing those who have gone before them, and the spark for this current turnaround for the Reds.

Reds 9 - Brewers 5
Today's Cincinnati Fast Break gives plenty of credit to Dusty Baker for mixing up the lineup as the changes produced plenty of positive results. Also, love for Nick Masset, who has really turned things around after his terrible start to the season.

Nice to see the Enquirer giving some love to our local college baseball teams.
Apparently, I'm supposed to be excited by this. Sorry, wake me when there's a final solution.
This year's NHL Playoffs have been incredible so far and my Chicago Blackhawks just might be the biggest story so far. Down 3-0, now forcing a Game 7 in Vancouver. Should be a great game. Gives me an excuse to post this.
Oh Canada and your wacky commercials. Check out the accent on this kid, what's he talking aboot?
Follow me on Twitter. Here's hoping Monsoon Season in the Tri-State is over soon.

Miserable Weekend in St. Louis
In today's Cincinnati Fast Break, I discuss the lousy weekend of baseball we saw from the Reds, why the hitting may continue to struggle, and why Edinson Volquez doesn't deserve the blame for last night's loss on Sunday Night Baseball.

Pirates 9 - Reds 3
Sorry for the lack of the podcast today. Blame the storm.
The Reds are in big trouble if their starting pitching can't get off to better starts. In what was yet another rocky start, this time by Travis Wood, the Reds found themselves in a 3-0 hole before they ever came to bat. The starting pitching has been nothing if not disappointing over the past week and a half. Sure, Johnny Cueto and Homer Bailey returning to the rotation will help, but right now something is just not right with this pitching staff. I don't claim to be too much more than just a fan, so I can't speak to what may be going on with mechanics, pre-game rituals, or warm up techniques. But I do know that the starting pitchers can't keep digging themselves holes and making the margin of error for the bullpen razor thin. Add to that an offense that has looked less than inspired as the Pirates had one of their best pitching performances over the course of a series in decades, and it equals the Reds losing 3 of 4 to Pittsburgh and seeing their lead in the division shrink to 1 game. Sam LeCure takes the hill tonight and looks to stop the bleeding. Certainly, the Reds need to right the ship against Arizona before heading to St. Louis and Milwaukee later in the week.
Right-hander Kevin Correia had another complete game for the Pirates, their second of the series.

Then there was this little gem...

Here's the Enquirer's take on it.
Here's your official statements from Leake and the Reds.
Look, I've heard all kinds of people talk about the psychological aspects of this supposed theft. While there is never any good reason to steal something, there is even less room for acceptance here. $60 of shirts? Yes, Mike Leake can afford that quite easily. I don't know what he was thinking, or what he wasn't thinking, but this is just unacceptable. Mr. Castellini can't be pleased with his team's good image being dragged through the mud. We'll see what action the Reds take once the legal system runs its course, but while this will probably just end up being a slap on the wrist legally, it just adds insult to the Reds play on the field as of late.
A girl playing on the offensive line? Somehow, I think this is really cool...

Nothing like making friends in NYC.
This might get their scholarship offers pulled.
Follow me on Twitter. Hopefully the rain holds off so the Reds can get their game in tonight. See you at the ballpark. Enjoy a this news report gone awry.

Reds Weekend Leaves Fans Disappointed.
In today's Cincinnati Fast Break I discuss the disappointing weekend of Reds baseball down at GABP and the frustration over the mistakes made that led to yesterday's loss.
Jonny Gomes has been a very pleasant surprise with his new found ability to have more patience at the plate.
Not much is certain after Saturday's Bearcat Bowl V, but there are some reasons to feel good.
I have a feeling this won't address many issues and we'll still be scratching our heads over why a young man is dead.
Everyone gets a statue now!
Follow me on Twitter. Enjoy this brawl that happened at Rutgers over the weekend. You stay classy New Jersey.

2010 Reds Memories
Today's Cincinnati Fast Break is a chance to get nostalgic about last year's outstanding Reds season.
Mo Egger on what he's going to be looking for out of this year's Reds club.
No offense to these folks, but I'm not a fan of Opening Day streaks. If you can make it every year, outstanding, but how many of these people come back to lots of games throughout the year? Some do, but many do not. Come back for the baseball, not for just the pomp and circumstance of Opening Day.
This is why Brandon Phillips is my favorite player on the Reds roster.
Hopefully Zach Collaros and the rest of the 2011 Cincinnati Bearcats have this same attitude as they begin spring practice.
Follow me on Twitter. Listen to me tonight on GoBearcats.com for live baseball action at 6:30. UC's taking on UD, should be a great battle. Make it a great day folks.
