Welcome to Chris Sabo’s Goggles: one of hundreds of unofficial Cincinnati Reds blogs on the Internets. The goal of Chris Sabo’s Goggles is to inform baseball fans about the Cincinnati Reds, without all of that geeky baseball stuff like stats, game results and roster moves.
My name is chatchi, I’m 33-years-old, and I’ve been a fan of the Cincinnati Reds my whole life. I lived in Cincinnati from 1984-2000, and for the last eight years I’ve lived in Chicago, where I point and laugh at Cubs fans every chance I get.
-
I believe that Pete Rose should be in the Hall of Fame.
-
I believe that Sean Casey was the best thing that’s happened to the Reds in quite some time.
-
I believe that Great American Ball Park is nice, but could be better.
-
I believe the designated hitter rule is just plain silly.
-
But above all, I believe that my beloved Cincinnati Reds will soon be contenders in the National League Central.
If you’re a Chicago Cubs fan and you’ve found this site by mistake, please return from whence you came.

As a life long Reds fan, I have a lot of disdain for Cubs fans. They don’t love baseball. They love to party. Great American Ball Park is too small and thus, a disaster for the Reds. I don’t believe the Reds will contend in the Central as long as Griffey and Dunn fail to hustle. The question that all of the reporters failed to ask Dusty is, “What are you going to do when they dog it running the bases?”
Comment by Bill Farro March 7, 2008 @ 2:35 pmI am gonna go ahead and disagree with the first comment. It is possible to win in a hitter’s park but you need pitcher’s who can pitch in it. Harang and Arroyo have both demonstrated that they can and will pitch consistently good at home despite the bandbox dimensions. In fact with Dunn and Griffey (below average range) as our corner outfielders we are better served playing in a small park.
The Reds primary problem the last few years has been an atrocious (and I mean just horrible) bullpen coupled with a bad back end of the rotation. You can’t win a division with only 2 quality starters and a mish-mash of washed-up or never-was talent in the bullpen. Fortunately these glaring weaknesses are being addressed and we now stand at the threshold of better things to come. Stay tuned.
