May 4, 200818 yr With the Reds riding another 5 game losing streak, they back home to play the Cubs in a 3 game homestand. My question is will the Reds fans show up for support,cause the Reds sure do need it.

My question is will the Reds fans show up for support,cause the Reds sure do need it. They haven't all year, I don't know why that would change now. I'd say the attendance will in fact be up a little for the series. However, I think most of the additional fans will be wearing Cubs paraphernalia--good chance they'll be louder than the home town fans.

May 4, 200818 yr No, we're not looking at that kind of support. Wait until the Red Sox series, it'll be really bad then.
May 4, 200818 yr Wait until the Red Sox series, it'll be really bad then. Yep, 3 straight sellouts and only 10,000 at each game will be Reds fans. :lol:

May 5, 200818 yr Author OK, after sleeping on it, here is what I would do if I were Jocketty. I would trade both Dunn and Griffey, and get whatever I could from them. It's not going to be much, but you get rid of their salaries. I would try to get someone with speed, and a good OBP if at all possible. It would probably have to be a minor leaguer, but that would be what I shoot for. I would get rid of Patterson, and activate Hopper, and I would call up Jay Bruce, and let him learn on the job. This is the lineup Dusty should go with. Hopper-CF Keppy-SS Votto-LF Phillips-2B Hatteberg-1B Encarnacion-3B Bruce-RF Bako-C
May 5, 200818 yr Chicago (18-13) got off to one of baseball’s best start on the heels of winning the NL Central title last season, winning 15 of its first 21 games. But the Cubs are just 3-7 since despite having outscored opponents 56-43. The problem seems to be offensive consistency. Chicago averages a major league-best 6.1 runs, but it also has been on the winning end of some extremely lopsided scores. The Cubs have averaged 8.6 runs and outscored their opponents by nearly five runs in their 18 wins, but they’ve put up just 2.7 runs per game in their 13 losses. Reds right fielder Ken Griffey Jr. remains three homers shy of 600 for his career, and he’s been stuck on 597 for the last nine games. He’s hitting .167 with one RBI in that stretch. http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/preview?gid=280505117

This will be the slowest team in history!
