I thought Sir Charles' 102 game prediction was ridiculous. The Reds are on pace to win 98 games. It might not have been as ridiculous as I thought.

Shame on you. I nailed it spot on last year...and you doubt me? Just admit it...I'm flawless.Originally Posted by Homer Bailey

Well, except for every other post. *grin*
I hope my wife doesn't read this one...she may actually go into a seizure from laughing too hard.
Looking back on some posts from earlier in the year, I was wrong about Jeff Francis. I knew he couldn't strike anybody out and all that but I thought he would be servicable (ie: 4.80 or so ERA) in the back of our or somebody else's rotation. Well he's been pretty horrific back in Colorado, but then again so have most of their pitchers.
“I don’t care,” Votto said of passing his friend and former teammate. “He’s in the past. Bye-bye, Jay.”
Rolen. I was hoping he would go home for good at the All Star break.
Go back some years were we got Billy Hatcher, Benito Santiago and Fernandez during spring training.
That's great way to get players. They're motivated, experienced and know what's expected of them. The key is to not fall in love with them and give them $$ with a multiyear deal. When the year's over you thank them very much and wish them well in cashing that effort into a big payday with someone else. I'm fine with picking up Ludwick's option but if he declines you say "bye" and move on
Frazier. I had him pegged as a .750 OPS guy with no defense.
All my posts are my opinion - just like yours are. If I forget to state it and you're too dense to see the obvious, look here!
I once thought I was wrong. I was wrong about that though.
Same, but I didn't think he would hit even that.
Billy Hatcher was acquired only a few days before Opening Day in 1990, and was immediately installed as the starting LF. Before they traded for him, the Reds were going to go with a platoon of Hal Morris and Rolando Roomes in LF.
I'm not sure, but I think the Pirates traded Hatcher partly because he wasn't going to make the team coming out of Spring Training.
Eric Stratton, Rush Chairman. Damn glad to meet ya.
You should have said, "Raisor once thought he was wrong. But Raisor was wrong about that though." (third person)
I'm not alone in admitting I was wrong about Frazier. I thought he'd be a utility guy.
His minor league numbers did not predict how well he is doing.
I love how hard he hits the ball nearly everytime. Even a grounder is a bullet.
Wrong is not the word I would use about me being wrong about Frazier. I'd use something much stronger than that.
Frazier, and Chapman being able to handle the multiple outings per week as a closer.
I made fun of Jeff Passan (whom I love) for picking the Nationals to the World Series before the season.
