Total inexplicable implosion. In all my years of watching baseball I've never seen a team do a 180 like this. The numbers are staggering. Funny thing is almost half of the games lost lately are 1 and 2 run games.
I loyally stand by them each game, but it is certainly heart-breaking. Edwin the coach has stepped down even though everyone knows it couldn't ...[text shortened]... ne were a fluke. They don't deserve to be on the field with real players.. come on, say it.
Besides, now they may have the best 80 year old manager in baseball.
Of course, he is the ONLY 80 year old manager in baseball.
Let's see if Trader Jack can right the ship.

I always find it interesting that when the team you root for is leading,
they are the leaders and someone else must catch them.
However, if your team is trailing they are in a good position to
overtake the leader.
You are not the only one guilty of looking at things this way, but since you said it,
I figured I would mention it at this time.
...[text shortened]... n fact....you are agreeing with whodey on something.
You both [b]hope the Reds can win it.[/b]
Some people can hold two equally true things in their brain at the same time.
"Hope" would be if someone was saying the Astros would win the NL Central. My analysis tells me the Reds will most probably win the Central because they have the best team (as shown last year).

Originally posted by shortcircuitI'm just feeding into your belief that the might Cincinnati Reds will not win a World Series this year. It will just add that much more shock to your system, and embarassment, when they do!! 😠
Your prediction got shot to hell. So what else is new?? 😕

Originally posted by shortcircuitYeah, smokin' cigars and cantankerous at 80... still kickin'! Oldest manager I think was with the Philadephia A's in 1950, at 87.
Nah Smooks, just jerking your chain.

Jacko already had a pissing match with HanRam yesterday, told him he wasn't running hard enough. Maybe just what the Fish need.
Lost 20 out of 22 (unbelievable to me anywayze) but still only 8 games under 500, not as bad as SOME teams.
Rationalizing, I know 😕
