I look forward to watching Volquez, Cueto, Votto, Bailey and Bruce. Assuming Bailey and Bruce get called up. That's about it. The rest is pretty hard to watch. I love the Reds, but it's painful to watch what's going on right now.

The JTM commercials add to the pain, too.
But watching Kepp hit is fun. There is a nucleas here that is easy to root for. Is it wrong to hope they dismantle the club (ie shed the vets, except for Harang and Cordero, of course) and make it the Central version of the Baby-backs? I could root for "young with growing pains" right now MUCH easier than this version of the club.
I have a love-hate relationship with Albert Pujols. Mostly hate.
"My reasons for still watching the Reds on TV"?
Uh.......it helps put you to sleep?
Yeah, I still like a lot of the current Reds, but it's not enough to keep me watching regularly with everything I have going on (kids, etc.).Originally Posted by I(heart)Freel
There's nothing else on TV and I love the Reds. Those reasons come to mind for me.
I'd add Harang, Phillips and EE to this as well. Harang is one of the best in baseball (Top 10) and I enjoy watching him pitch.
Watching Edwin is still fun to me because he still has leaps and bounds of potential at 25

Watching Edwin is fun for me because he looks like he is playing Little League 47.2% of the time.
SECOND PLACE DOESN'T CONCERN ME
I may go to the game on Wednesday because....Volquez is pitching. If he weren't I probably wouldn't be thinking about it. lol
Edit: I bought the tickets online surprisingly. I figured the student discount would only be applicable at the stadium, but that's not the case. Three rows behind Dunn in LF for $9.50. That's pretty good.

Only game I've been to, Volquez pitched.......and pitched well. I believe we won 8-1 or something like that. It was on a Tuesday night.
I paid 250.00 for the right to watch the Reds this year.
“The crows seem to be calling my name,” thought Caw.
Wow. I guess the big question is, would you rather pay that money to watch them lose regularly or a one time shot, at GAPB in the Diamond seats, where you can watch them lose in person?
I watch just to see how Amy and Erin are doing. I feel like I've watched those two grow up.
Not at all. This is just brutal. This team has no confidence, chemistry or energy. It's only the first week of May and I've already lost almost all interest.
I only paid $150.00. I have hesitatted to do it in the past because I knew if I did the team would play terribly and what could have been a joy would become a miserable experience. Guess what-- I was right!:
