I kept expecting one of them to work out. Just one. None did. Literally. None. How Bowden kept his job so long is a complete mystery.

Re: I was wrong about....
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.

Re: I was wrong about....
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.

I was wrong about Rolen. Thought he'd only play 50 games and bat .150.

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.

Re: I was wrong about....
I thought Herm Winningham was gonna be a left handed Eric Davis.
I've lived with the shame for decades.

Wrigley Field..when I was younger, I imagined it was Valhalla.
When I finally got there, I realized it was just a dump. |
