As first reported over at Home Run Derby, Pete Rose is now selling autographed baseballs on his website that include the line “I’m sorry I bet on baseball” inscribed by Rose himself. They sell (or are trying to sell) for $250.20 each, which must be a deal because they’re marked down from $279.99. Now if I could only get Chipper Jones to sign balls with an apology for sleeping with my ex-wife.
Home sweet home is anything but when the Reds are playing the Astros at Great American Ball Park. The Reds have lost 17 of 19 games to the Astros at home, a shocking figure considering the Astros hold no such advantage over the Reds at Minute Maid Park.
The Reds are coming off an 11-inning win over the Indians on Sunday. It was one of three MLB games that went 11 innings yesterday. For the sake of our bullpen, lets hope today’s game only goes the standard 9 innings.
