The blog platform is currently hit-or-miss in allowing photos…so here it goes.  Photos from yesterday…

Today is indeed Tuesday, which means it’s time for Reds Tattoosday!!

Jonny Gomes, is a huge fan of Tattoosdays. He was worried that you folks stopped sending in photos of your ink…Way to not let him down! 

Here ya go, Jonny….

I’ve been a Reds fan ever since I can remember. I got this done as a high school graduation present in 2006. Work was done by Kevin Combs of Silkworm Tattoo. - Jesse Hensley

Hi Jamie,  Not sure if this qualifies, but here’s a tattoo of Bronson Arroyo’s autograph – Melissa Bernard

This is my Reds tattoo. Its in honor of my 4 years of service in the U.S. Navy, the entire military, and of course the NL Central Division Champion Cincinnati Reds.

Hey Jamie,
 
Mine isn’t as great as the others posted today, but I went simple for my first one.  Love the C and had to have it somewhere so went with the ankle!  Had this done in Panama City on vacation this past October. 
 
Thanks!

The Redlegs are playing split-squad games today.  Half the club will be in Tempe taking on the Angels while the other half travels to Phoenix to battle the Athletics. 

The Reds/Angels game will be broadcast on MLB Network at 3:05pm ET.  You can follow the Reds/A’s game via my Tweets (Jamieblog) and MLB.com’s Gameday.

Here are the lineups for both games…

If you always thought Dawson’s Creek would’ve been better with a Sci-Fi element, go see I am Number Four.  I saw it last night with Reds staffer Zach Bonkowski, who loved it.  He also wore a Hannah Montana t-shirt to the theater, so take that for what it’s worth

Aroldis Chapman appears in today’s USA Today.  Check it out HERE.

I’m considering a haircut this afternoon after the game.  It would mark my second haircut since last Spring Training.  If you think I might look like a hobo, you’d be correct.

Here are some Reds News Network video links to interviews I conducted yesterday with Jay Bruce and Ryan Hanigan…

And finally, the best vehicle (real or fictional) in the entire world isn’t the Batmobile, it isn’t KIT from Knight Rider, not even the DeLorean from Back to the Future.

It’s this…

Mr. Softee is staple from my childhood.  It truly is “the Very Best.”

That’s all for now.  I’ll have more later.

I appreciate you folks logging on.  You are all the greatest.

Expect good news,
