Still holding out hope for Chad Mattola.
Long long time ago...Ok, not so long
I was wrong about drafting a high school pitcher...Homer Bailey. I didn't think we'd ever see him pitch in the majors except as a publicity stunt. But in my defense I had just read "MoneyBall"
Not so long ago....I was wrong about Homer Bailey again! I thought he would suck this season and should have been traded away to make room for Chapman. Now I still think Chapman should be starting, but Bailey has made me eat crow more than a few times this year. Hope he keeps it up.

Heck, I expected the Champ Summers for Sheldon Burnside deal to work out in the Reds favor.
The Willie Greene Kool-Aid tasted pretty good at the time.
Whatever you do, do your best to not allow the struggles of life to interfere with the pleasures of living.
I was wrong about Rolen. Thought he'd only play 50 games and bat .150.
Next Reds manager, second shooter. --Confirmed on Redszone.
Onions.
As a kid, I hated onions. So much so that I'd ask if they were on everything. My uncle used to tease me saying we were going to be having "desert onions" after a meal.
Sorry to the onions, I misjudged you.
Not to derail the thread but on a serious note, there's a biologic explanation for that. Your taste buds degrade worse than your eyesight in later years...
Kids' tastebuds are much more acute than ours. That's why they don't do Tabasko or Mexican. As a kid I can remember hating Hunts Ketchup and loving Heinz. Today in a blind taste test I'm sure I couldn't tell you the difference...
Socks... I thought I had my work socks with me when I rode to work today, alas I did not.
Now I have on bike socks.
I was wrong... and olives, hated them in my younger years love them to death now.
Oh and Willie Greene... way wrong on that
I thought Herm Winningham was gonna be a left handed Eric Davis.
I've lived with the shame for decades.

I believed in Wladimir Balentien and Ruben Mateo.
Go BLUE!!!
Wrigley Field..when I was younger, I imagined it was Valhalla.
When I finally got there, I realized it was just a dump.
Paul Householder was going to be the next Ken Griffey.
School's out. What did you expect?
