The Cincinnati Reds 2005 season has started off just like every other season for the past few years. They are currently tied for second place in the National League Central with the Chicago Cubs, both holding a 9-9 record and 3.5 games back of the St. Louis Cardinals. So far, pitching hasn’t been the Red’s main problem, with the staff holding an overall ranking of 15th in the majors this year.
It is their bats which have given up on them. Their cumulative batting average is .248, ranking 22nd overall.
They also are in the cellar in runs, hits, and runs batted in (RBIs). All of these woes aren’t new to those from Cincinnati who grew up with the Reds.
So why not go out and check them out this weekend? UC is offering Reds tickets to students for this Friday, May 6, versus the L.A. Dodgers.
The tickets cost $7.50 each, with a limit of five tickets per student. They are available for pickup in the Flory Center, Room 8, with a current college ID and spring quarter schedule.
