Last time I felt this good about a Reds team at the beginning of the season was 1990. We know how that worked out.
Wear gaudy colors, or avoid display. Lay a million eggs or give birth to one. The fittest shall survive, yet the unfit may live. Be like your ancestors or be different. We must repeat!
This is awesome.
“I don’t care,” Votto said of passing his friend and former teammate. “He’s in the past. Bye-bye, Jay.”
"He'll be the first one to tell you, this ballpark is made out of some HARD cement." Chris Welsh on Bryce Harper's experience last year when he slammed his bat and it came back into his face
Think Jeff Brantley might be drunk.
There is no such thing as a pitching prospect.
Good old-fashioned butt-whoopin'

I don't know, with Choo on board this season, I'm not worrying as much about that as I did with Stubbs.
Regardless, thus far, this team is looking really good. I know it's only 4 games, and I'm curious as to how Leake ends up looking, but I'm feeling good right now
You're about to see nothing but home run swings this time up.
