Re: Groundhog Day. I can't. Seem. To wake up from this bad dream.

We are the Milwaukee Brewers (without the young talent). We are the Baltimore Orioles, Colorado Rockies, and Pittsburgh Pirates (without the beautiful stadiums). We were the Detroit Tigers (until they got really good). Dare I say?
Actually the Reds are better off (so far then the aforementioned teams)

The Pirates and Brewers are on their 14th straight losing season, that's legendary. Only the Phillies (1918-1931 & 1933 to 1948) the Cubs (1947-1962) Browns (1946-1949) A's (1953-1967) and Red Sox (1919-1934) have equaled it or topped that run of futility.

That's the laundry list of losers in the history of the game, and now it includes Buds team and two teams with new parks.

Meanwhile the Tigers are ending a 12 year run that is still more then twice as long as the current Reds run of futility.
