CINCINNATI SPORTS LAST WEEK

The first three days of this week gave a break for all the Reds except Edinson Volquez who had to be in Yankee Stadium for the All-Star game. That didn't turn out too well.

The Mets came to town on Thursday for four games and were touting a nine game winning streak. We had them beat in the opener until Coco, our stopper, gave them four in the ninth. On Friday, Bronson Arroyo was brilliant, Jay Bruce homered and we held on for a 5-2 win. On Saturday, Josh Fogg did well again for a 7-2 win. On Sunday, Edinson Volquez was hittable and even with three home runs, the Reds lost 7-5 in 10 innings. The Reds finished the week at 48 wins and 52 defeats. They are 11 games behind the Cubs in their division.

Under the title of strange occurrences, the Bengals are reported as interested in resigning Chris Henry now that he has been cleared of all the charges that got him suspended.

My buddy, Steve Sheehan, has been named head football coach at Clark Montessori. Clark is a new school just entering varsity Ohio High School competition. Years ago, Steve led CAPE (Cincinnati Academy of Physical Education) to three state titles.
