The Reds are playing the Cubs, and thanks to the Cubs being in a nasty slump, the series is tied 1-1. Seems like a fun time to get out the old Whack-a-Cub game and blow the dust off the Zambrano mallet. The Reds could have used this earlier tonight.

A couple years ago, me and my good buddy Joel put together a demotivational poster for each of the teams in the majors. Since then, Joel's given up blogging in favor of a real life and the half of the posters that he hosted was lost to the caches of Google.

Even though they're dated, I'm posting the lost posters here. After all, I'm a Reds fan, and if there's one thing we Reds fans know how to do, it's bask in our previous glory.

As we said before, all photographs copyright of their respective owners. Their respective owners also get a great big thank you from Red Hot Mama for taking such lovely photos and making them available online. If you are the owner of one of these photographs, drop me a line and I will make sure you get proper attribution.

Don't see your team? It's probably here.

The Cubs have spent a zillion dollars this off-season, and armed with a multitude of overpaid free-agents, they're ready to go into Opening Day battle with our Reds. Now you can do your part to help knock the Cubs down. Whack Carlos Zambrano as many times as you can for a higher score! But don't hit the Reds--they've already got eight guys on the DL for crying out loud!

We here at Red Hot Mama were lucky enough to intercept one of Wayne “Kriv-dawg” Krivsky's electronic Christmas cards.

Not really, of course, but definitely click. This will totally make your day.

It took two nights of paying more attention to his development server than to his wife, but the Crack Technical Staff has managed to put together an impressive poll feature. And it's only fitting that we try it out with the Dick Pole Limerick Contest.
