Reds baseball game #4.
The last time we saw Johnny Cueto pitch at Great American Ball Park was the day we got engaged all the way back last summer in July. He got traded to the Kansas City Royals, got his ring and then was traded to the San Francisco Giants. The Giants were in town for three games and guess who was pitching the first game of the series… our boy Johnny Beisbol.
We picked up seats in the new Cincinnati Bell Fioptics District Rooftop on Saturday before we left for the FC Cincinnati match against Wilmington Hammerheads FC. Let’s go…
Johnny Beisbol…
Cueto versus Votto…
And Cueto got was better than Votto in the first. Cueto versus BP?
After Cueto go through the first, we headed up to Cincinnati Bell’s The Fioptics District…
We moved down to the terrace to watch some more of the game…
The Giants jumped out to a 3-0 lead in second… BARGE!
Cueto versus Votto round two…
And Votto took Cueto yard!
The storm clouds were looking pretty ominous. But the rain stayed away. For once.
The Reds roughed up Cueto for six runs in the third…
Back up to The Fioptics District Rooftop…
Genifer got a hot dog, and I got some chicken fingers. I offered to share my chicky fingers with her but she wasn’t impressed. She was pretty adamant that chicken fingers aren’t baseball food. Baseball food or not, they were pretty delicious…
The Reds bullpen imploded. Again. And gave up five runs in the top of the seventh…
And the Reds ended up losing 9-6. It’s going to be a long season. But The Fioptics District is a really fun area to hang out in. It offers a really different perspective of the game. Good stuff. 🙂

Five years ago today.
Today is the five year anniversary of our first date. We went to a Reds game, and then went to hear a couple of our favorite bands play. Tonight, we going to celebrate by watching our FC Cincinnati take on Wilmington Hammerheads FC at Nippert Stadium. I couldn’t imagine a better way to celebrate. It’s been five wonderful years full of amazing dates and fun adventures. And we can’t wait to see what the next five years bring. 🙂

#TBT Pause for paws.
I miss my bud dog so much. It’s hard to believe he passed away six months ago today…
I’m so happy that I took a bunch of photos of him, and that almost everyday a photo of Milan pops up in my Timehop. I miss you bud. I wish you were still here with us. 😔

It was a pretty grey and rainy day in downtown Cincinnati. But it was brightened by seeing these two hanging out in the back window of a car on my walk to work…
And then it poured…
Later, we went out for some 65¢ chicken wings…
It was another Tuesday. Taken with Instagram. 🙂

It’s what’s for dinner.
For dinner tonight, Genifer made these amazing lasagna roll-ups…
And they were pretty darn delicious! Especially when it’s with garlic bread. I love me some garlic bread. It’s really incredible to be blessed with a beautiful wife who’s also such a terrific cook! 🙂

Reds baseball game #3.
It was really pretty out this afternoon. So we walked down to GABP to see the Reds take on those Chicago Cubbies for Reds game #3 of the season…
We got some walk-up tickets to the game for just $6 using our PNC Reds card. We had no idea what was going on at the front gates to GABP. But there were incredibly long lines waiting to get into the ballpark, and this was right as the game was about to start…
It was worse than trying to get into last summer’s All-Star Game or one of the Reds postseason games…
It was a surprisingly full house for Sunday baseball despite the Reds being walloped 16-0 and no-hit by the Cubs Jake Arrieta back on Thursday…
I wonder how many of the people at the game were Cubs fans though. There was an awful lot of Cubbie blue in the stands this afternoon…
There was the Sunday live edition of the Reds Mascot race…
And this one belongs to Mr. Redlegs…
One of favorite Reds, Tucker Barnhart made an appearance…
We got some dogs…
Then we moved up to the view level out in left field…
It’s hard to take a selfie with your sunglasses on…
This one was better…
Boom! Pow! Cubs win! Cubs win! Holy cow…
Oh well. It was beautiful Sunday for baseball, and it’s always fun to be at the ballpark regardless if Reds win or lose. And I can only imagine that they’ll be doing more than their fair share of losing this season.
