  I remember reading about that place. Is it good?? What kind of food?
• wildcats20

  

  I've actually never had food there, but it's a good time.

  I haven't been down there since November, but other than Holy Grail there is a new Toby Keith bar, Johnny Rockets, maybe 1 other place with food. There is nothing wrong with the Machine Room but you are already going to be in the park 3+ hrs so that's why I prefer to go somewhere else before. I've heard the Toby Keith place is really fun, here's the link http://countrybaroh.com/

  Menu looks nice!

  There is also the Lager House which is really cool but kind of expensive. We dropped $60 on 4 beers and 2 sandwiches.

  VOtta has gotten alot better defensively, no doubt. I am not worried about his defense in 10 years. Unless he totallly lets himself go and doesnt work at it he can still be a good fielder at 38. May lose a little range but what he would lose there I think he would gain in experience in being in the right spot at the right time.
  
  And by then he should be able to pick bad throws in his sleep

• Midstate01

  

  Hawaii. But I'll be home early may. Going to the reds game may 11th.

  I thought for sure he was going at some point in the next season and a half.
  
  12 years and $251 million (the 10 year extension plus the 2 years left on this deal) is the kind of money only the Yankees have ever thrown around. I didn't think any small market could extend themselves like that, so it is an impressive commitment to say the least.
  
  I think even most Reds fans (much less jaded Tribe fans) would be hard pressed to say with a straight face they saw the team ponying up a quarter of a billion dollars to keep Votto over the next 12 years.

  No you do it, you're the one making the claim. I'd be curious to see who said this, because I think you're full of shit. You make the claim, you back it up. That's how it works turdo. Hope this helps.

  Great now the reds thread is ruined. Never fucking fails...
• dave

  Didn't know Miami played tonight. That's a huge advantage for the Reds this series.

  Votto gets base salaries of $9.5 million this year and $17 million in 2013 under his previous agreement. The new deal includes salaries of $12 million in 2014, $14 million in 2015, $20 million in 2016, $22 million in 2017 and $25 million in each of the following six seasons. The Reds have a $20 million option for 2024 with a $7 million buyout.
