98NCCalum Posted June 7, 2007 Share Posted June 7, 2007 These were the preseason rankings according to: Yahoo, ESPN, SI, CBS Sportsline, and Fox Sports. Are we unrealistic? What do these national sites know that we don't? Maybe these Reds are playing up to potential and there just flat out not that good? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AverageJoesGym Posted June 7, 2007 Share Posted June 7, 2007 You can go back here and find out what everyone thought and how realistic they were. I said I couldn't see them winning more than 75 games and in a better division it would be more like 65. http://www.bluegrasspreps.com/showthread.php?t=116597 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HOMELESS CAMEL Posted June 8, 2007 Share Posted June 8, 2007 I can't remember if I voted, but I would have thought going in, 81-85. Oh well, the Reds will play 700 ball after the All Star Break, I'm SURE of it. :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Scribe Posted June 8, 2007 Share Posted June 8, 2007 I think the only ones who can't see this every year are Reds fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Scribe Posted June 8, 2007 Share Posted June 8, 2007 Once again, someone else brings the Cubs in when it has nothing to do with the topic. Show me where I predicted any type of sucess for this year's Cubs. Show me where I said it last year. You can't. I stand by what I said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cubs fans for 98 years have been predicting BIG THINGS next year. It's a joke. Just like the franchise. So when you poke fun expect it back...

So when you poke fun expect it back... Not this one. Just like I'm sure you wouldn't want to be lumped in as someone who supports a football team of criminals or a college basketball team of troublemakers that don't graduate. Since we're talking history and all.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Scribe Posted June 8, 2007 Share Posted June 8, 2007 I never took a shot at you directly. NCCalum asked a legitimate question whether or not Reds fans are unrealistic. I answered yes. I also think 80% of the MLB fan base is unrealitic, including Cubs fans, who think their team will make the playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
