February 25, 200917 yr Well, it's that time of year again. The Reds won today 7-0 over the Tampa Bay Rays. Grand-slam by Jerry Hairston. Edinson Volquez struck out 3 in 3 innings. Next up: The Reds host the Twins on Thursday. Micah Owings will get the nod...

February 25, 200917 yr If Hariston keeps the pace up during the regular season he will hit 162 HR's and knock in 648 RBI's. How's that for production? :dancingpa:dancingpa:dancingpa
February 26, 200917 yr Author I realize it doesn't mean a whole lot, but I'm still pumped. I think this Reds team has a chance to be really good this year. Depends on how far Harang-atang, Volquez and the rest of them can take us.

Depends on how far Harang-atang, Volquez and the rest of them can take us. Well since basketball season will probably be over in about 3 weeks, I'm getting more and more excited. I love me some Reds baseball.
February 26, 200917 yr Author The thing that excites me the most is I think the Reds have a legitimate shot to win their division. The Cubs will be tough again, but I think they have a lot of question marks surrounding their pitching staff. Ryan Dumpster is coming off of a career year, and a year in which he threw over 200 innings. I look for him to drop off significantly this year. Big Z is one of the best in the business, but he had some arm issues (rotator cuff, I believe) at the end of last season. Rich Harden is a stud when he gets to take the mound. Problem is that's not even half of the season. Ted Lilly is not good enough to carry this team on his back. Add that to the fact that the Cubbies lose Wood & DeRosa & added Milton Bradley, and I think they're going to make it 101 straight!

But the Brewers are going to win the division
February 26, 200917 yr All very good arguments. But the Brewers are going to win the division While I think the Brewers offense will be good, I do not think they have the pitching to run away with it. The Reds can compete.
February 26, 200917 yr Please, please, please, win more than 75 games.. :ohbrother:Yep. They will not win the division.
