(life long reds fan, born in cincy til age 12, lived in beantown, now in texas.)
can't believe it took me this long to find this thread.
i guess i'm not in sports that often.
i'd like to publicly state "fuck the reds bullpen"
WTF.
tonight was yet another quality start wasted by the 'pen.
2 of the last four losses the red legs were 3 outs away from the win.
oh but tonight was even better,
'cause it happened twice in the same game.
the reds have some decent starting pitcher,
but the team doesn't stand a chance unless there's a CG
or maybe a 7 run lead...
and with this O, it's possible.
weighing in on some of the threads earlier topics,
i must say i was happy to see wily mo go in exchange for an arm.
i expected him to do more in boston.
o-brien sucked.
i was glad to see him axed.
sean casey for dave williams???
was that some kind of joke?
krivsky has done well.
ross, arroyo, hatterberg... all nice additions.
glad he got an extension.
he'll be a saint if he can get some help in the 'pen.
i think the reds can make the playoffs.
the NL is down a bit this year,
the cards are not as strong as they seem,
and the wild card is truly wild.
i'd say no less than 6 teams have a legit shot.
would a paul wilson return
or bringing up homer bailey help the cause??
