August 29, 200620 yr It matters because they made a major improvement under new management. Were you like this about the Bengals after Marvin's first year when they had a shot and blew it??? No I wasn't, but that's because I am and always have been a Bengals fan, I wish I could say the same about the Reds, but such is not the case.
August 29, 200620 yr The Padres I don't see anywhere on paper that shows the Pads are better than the reds. Its all about who gets hot at the right time.
August 29, 200620 yr No I wasn't, but that's because I am and always have been a Bengals fan, I wish I could say the same about the Reds, but such is not the case. In case you missed it, the Reds have actually WON something in their history. The Bengals were the laughingstock of pro sports for a decade. That stance is as swiss cheese as it gets...

August 29, 200620 yr In case you missed it, the Reds have actually WON something in their history. The Bengals were the laughingstock of pro sports for a decade. That stance is as swiss cheese as it gets... I couldn't care less about the history of the Reds...I am a fan of a team regardless of how well they do. The Reds have never been one of those teams, the Bengals always have.

And because of that we have to listen to the doom and gloom from someone not following that close at all???
August 29, 200620 yr And because of that we have to listen to the doom and gloom from someone not following that close at all??? Actually no I follow closer than 95% of the people on this website, and from what I've seen this team is not making the playoffs.
August 29, 200620 yr I could go for a homerun right now David Ross!!! Nevermind. Duh, what was I thinking.
August 29, 200620 yr You may be right, but one of those other teams is going to be the team that takes the WC. The Reds are going to do what they always do, watch the postseason from there couches. Wow, words from a fair weather fan. I wonder what you'd be saying if the Reds were winning this game? I promise you that if many were told that this Reds team would finish close to 0.500 that they would be happy.
August 29, 200620 yr See, ............ the hitters are watching until they get 2 strikes, the are hitting defensively.

I promise you that if many were told that this Reds team would finish close to 0.500 that they would be happy. I'd be saying the same thing. I've said all year long that the Reds won't win more than 75 games this season, and while that may be a little off, it's going to be pretty accurate. Don't get me wrong, I love when the hometown team wins and all, but at the same time if they don't win I don't lose any sleep over it, because realistically there are about 5 or 6 teams I root for more so than the Reds. I just don't believe this team has what it takes to make the playoffs.
