OMG: For Immediate Release



CINCINNATI - Finally, a blog with chocolate and caramel topping!

omgHelmetSundae is your Great American Ballpark tour guide this season for the one topic that's underserved by Reds blogs: Ballpark food.

Because you can read about trades and games and scores anywhere, but you can only read about hotdogs, nachos, brats, lemon chills, pretzels, coneys and peanuts at omgHelmetSundae.

"It is the only blog in Greater Cincinnati with sprinkles," said creator and ballpark food eater Gina Blogs. "We'll tackle important, hard-hitting issues like, Should fans follow up a coney with a Lemon Chill? Or get a pretzel first? And during what inning should they go for the helmet sundae? There are no other blogs answering these questions, but certainly the fans are eager to know."

Indeed they are. According to Sitemeter reports, omgHelmetSundae is already racking up 3 visitors a day, and the first helmet sundae of the season is still 36 hours away.

"I had no idea it would be these huge," Gina Blogs admitted.

But omgHelmetSundae has not started without some controversy. Its first few posts takes no prisoners in admitting it's a rival blog to omgReds.com, an irreverent, "balls out" blog with Mr. Redlegs as its mascot.

When asked to comment on why she'd take-on an already established, much bigger Reds blog, Gina Blogs said, "My logo is cooler."

omgReds.com founder, Dan, released this statement: "Ummm... we blogrolled that shiznit. Whatevs."

Hold on to your mini baseball helmets people, because tomorrow is Opening Day and omgHelmetSundae will be photo blogging the first bites of the season!
