And they didn't finish first. But i still have some hope. I think they could still go on a hot streak.

redsfan30 · 09-05-2006, 03:08 PM

Great insight.....

klw · 09-05-2006, 03:08 PM

With as streaky every team in this race has been, including the Reds, I disagree that it is over. Still have 3 at GABP with the Padres too.

redsmetz · 09-05-2006, 03:10 PM

Well, she'll just have to wait because no self-respecting diva would think of going on stage without the proper make-up on. Heaven knows she doesn't want to look washed out under all of those lights. Send her down to make up and then down to wardrobe before she comes on stage!

Tom Servo · 09-05-2006, 03:12 PM

But we got Sun-Woo Kim.

I don't get how some people can get away with calling themselves fans sometimes.

fan /fæn/ Pronunciation Key - Show Spelled Pronunciation[fan] Pronunciation Key - Show IPA Pronunciation

–noun an enthusiastic devotee

What ever happened to just laying it out there and having a little hope or faith... enthusiasm for your team rather than calling in the proverbial fat lady during hard times.

This team will go on a tear soon. The offense is not this bad. The pitching may be, but they have to win the Harang/Arroyo games, and lately the Milton ones! I haven't given up hope, but last night did put a dent in the armor.
