Just a partial list of things we talk a lot about that also get a lot of push back over the fact that we talk about them.
In fact there are posters who seem to only post about not wanting to post about those things (that just made me dizzy)
The question is, if not that stuff, what should we be talking about?
What are the things we are missing out of?
When your team is 80-52 there are all kind of pleasant surprises along the way.
Do you remember when we were worried that Brosnon Arroyo was going to put up another ERA north of 5.00? Man, the dude produced.
What kind of credit does Walt get for picking up Alfredo Simon, JJ Hover, Todd Redmond, Dioner Navarro and Xavier Paul? In years past it seems like the reds got very attached to the last couple of slots on the 40 man roster. He's regularly turning those slots over to try and find gems.
How about that Mat Latos trade now? 11-4 with a 3.79 era and signs that he can pitch even better than he has? Hard to say that wasn't worth the cost.
Is this the best fielding reds team you've ever seen?
"Even a bad day at the ballpark beats the snot out of most other good days. I'll take my scorecard and pencil and beer and hot dog and rage at the dips and cheer at the highs, but I'm not ever going to stop loving this game and this team and nobody will ever take that away from me." Roy Tucker October 2010
Hey Phil, you wearing a shirt?
School's out. What did you expect?
I'm at work, so yes. However, as usual, I'm not wearing pants. They've learned not to try to change me.Originally Posted by pedro
Couldn't find a better thread to post this in. This is pretty cool.
Cincinnati Reds- My City - YouTube
I just had a pizza the other night for dinner that I got free from attending the one Cubs game we lost on that doubleheader day.
*gasp* You caught me.Nice try Heather, but I've decoded your message to see what you REALLY are wanting to talk about.I'm in massive Joey withdrawal right now and REALLY need him to rejoin the Reds again, even if it's just to come out and wave to everyone. Lineups? Stats? Manager bashing? Screw all that....I NEED MY JOEY FIX, DARN IT!
"I tried to play golf, but I found out I wasn't very good." -Joey Votto on his offseason hobby search
An MLB.com reporter asked what one thing Votto couldn’t do. “I can’t skate or play hockey,” Votto said. “Well, I can skate ... but I can’t stop.”
Oh, that made my day.
There are so many good things going on with the team right now that of course people are going to rant over and over again about the few things that could be improved somehow. That's how discussion boards work most of the time.
I'll admit I was slightly apprehensive about Mat when he first got here and had such a slow start, but I've seen the guy pitch in person a lot this season and what a turnaround he made after he finally let go of expectation and just pitched his game. He's a fantastic competitor and watching his complete game versus the Brewers in person earlier this season was an absolute treat. He's must see for me now and I cannot wait to watch him improve and get even better for the next few years.

Baseball is like church. Many attend, few understand
ROFLMAO!!! Excellent.Nice try Heather, but I've decoded your message to see what you REALLY are wanting to talk about.
If you find 3 or 4 post on the first page of a thread questing why such a thread was even started it's likely that thread will go on to be a very popular.Dusty

I'd like to talk about biology. It's completely overshadowed by chemistry on this board.
How do we know he's not Mel Torme?
What happened to the Reds cheerleaders?
There are supposed to be statues similar to the Bench one of Rose, Morgan and Perez outside the stadium, where are they going and when?
When did the helmet full of nachos show up on the menu? They looked good.
Anyone got a Reds tattoo? I just got one so I am cool.
Who will throw out the first pitch of Game 1 at the WS? Not Sean Casey please.
What Red would be the funnest to have a drink with? I am picking Phillips.
Who would win a fist fight between Chapman and Ludwick? I think if Chapman can avoid the knock out punch he would wear Ludwick down.

I bet Hannigan does.
He is Irish like me.
