Thought I would bump this to see how my Christmas list for last year fared...
12 - hits per game
(sometimes)
11 - series sweeps
(not quite)
10 - game lead by late September
(not even close)
9 - defensive players
(not really)
8 - solid hitters
(I believe so)
7 - inning pitchers
(two of them HARANG and ARROYO)
6 - World Series Rings (1919, 1940, 1975, 1976, 1990 & 2006)
(NOT!!!)
5 - MORE YEARS FOR DUNN!!!
(only 2)
4 - stolen bases (per game)
(getting there)
3 - outs an inning (for defense)
(better as the year progressed)
2 - more starting pitchers
(should have asked for two more QUALITY starting pitchers)
and...
1 - VERY HEAL-THY GRI-FFEY!!!
(oh well...)
If I would have just received HALF of this list, I believe the REDS would be playing in the NLCS (IMO).
I will try to be better this year, so Santa will give me what I want...although I am afraid my fate is already sealed
