Time to Rally behind The Rally Onion
I noticed Chip's sig this morning and saw he was looking to have 100 folks connected to the Rally Onion's Facebook page. I noticed it stands now at 95. Independent move on my part, but thought I'd start a thread and put it over here on "Non-Sports Chatter" to give everyone a chance to comment and we'll pretend it's more about Facebook than baseball.
The Rally Onion has been good to us this season, so lets be good to The Rally Onion. ![]() http://www.facebook.com/pages/Rally-...24872650873160

"If the Rally Onion was a person, it would want to be Joey Votto."
That deserves 100,000,000 fans alone

Re: Time to Rally behind The Rally Onion
I realize I'm biased, but I do firmly give the Rally Onion superstitious credit for this season. At the time it was born, the Reds were a long shot among long shots. They had recently been swept by the Pirates and had gotten destroyed by the hapless Cubs hours before. Everything changed the minute it was found in a garbage can. We're all caught up in playoff fever now, but it's worth noting that at that time the playoffs were all but a dream.
Long live that ridiculous onion.

Re: Time to Rally behind The Rally Onion
Rally Onion is now up to 97 - lets aim higher. Magic number is going down, Rally Onion's # should be rising.

Re: Time to Rally behind The Rally Onion
Did the thread that started the "rally onion" phenomenon get archived? If not, it needs to be.

Re: Time to Rally behind The Rally Onion
Should the game thread that VP discovered the Rally Onion be archived as well?

Re: Time to Rally behind The Rally Onion
*bump*
Not only does the Rally Onion help the Reds, but he/she/it also provides useful advice to everyday folks like you and me. Just yesterday, the Rally Onion advised me to change my furnace filters.
