No, actually the Reds are the Texas Rangers North.
I wish I had known this in my 20's, I used to laugh at Father Time and spit in his face. I hope he doesn't hold a grudge.
I am mid-30s, by all accounts I remain pretty mobile and only a step slower than I used to be. Can the more "experienced" Redszoners give me some kind of sliding scale on the slope of descent from 25-30, 30-35, 35-40 etc.
20-25, lost 1/4 step
25-30, not quite a razor sharp as I used to be, lost another 1/4 step
30-35, became senile and curmudgeonly
35-40, pending

Oh man. Are you in for a surprise. He holds a grudge.
At 35, I was still pretty competitive playing tennis, and could hold my own against a lot of college players I used to hit with, but instead of running them around like I used to do, they were running me around like a yo-yo on a string.
I had a seasons pass at Vail that winter, and we started every day jumping off a 20 foot cliff on the back bowls. I skiied with ski patrol buddies all day, every day.
I'm 51 now, and those are bygone memories. Advil is now my friend.
No more cliff jumps.

Weird. My dad just turned 52.

The Texas Rangers had a winning season last year....I'll take that
I'd have much perfered to let Claussen and Hudson cut their teeth in the bullpen. Loading up on veteran relievers is the last thing I would have done. I would have dangled a guaranteed rotation spot to some FA pitchers trying to (re)establish themselves as starters and gone with a young bullpen.
