Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries....just knew they were meant to be.
The Marshall trade. I thought it was unlikely the Reds would be able to give him a extension.
More things than I can remember. I was mostly wrong about Arroyo this year. He's been solid, which is far more than I expected from him. So glad I was wrong (so far).
How do we know he's not Mel Torme?
I was wrong. I thought the reds should keep Stillwell and trade Larkin.
Our planet is a lonely speck in the great enveloping cosmic dark. In our obscurity, in all this vastness, there is no hint that help will come from elsewhere to save us from ourselves. -- Carl Sagan (Pale Blue Dot)
I thought the Reds should have dumped Bailey for just about anything in the offseason. I was clearly wrong about that.
Ryan Leaf over Peyton Manning
Votto for Bedard
Ludwick would be a bum
Winter wasn't coming
Jon Snow knew something
WJ was one step into retirement
Homer Bailey would have a better career than johnny cueto
Dusty Baker was a horrible manager
Joey Votto would not end his career as a Red.

I find that a majority of the times I have been wrong it was simply because I listened to, and allowed myself, to be taken in by YOU PEOPLE!
I now do just the opposite....

There have been so many. The high low?) lights include:
--Brian Reith (Remember that guy? Convinced by a couple hot streaks in the lower minors.)
--That moving Danny Graves to starter was a stroke of genius. Ditto Scott Williamson.
--John Reidling as a more than capable set-up man/ possible closer for a decade. Sigh.
--Moving Dmitri Young and/or Austin Kearns to the hot corner made sense. (I still don't know if I'm wrong about that. It was certainly outside the box thinking.)
--Dealing Wily Mo Pena was stupid. Especially after his first year in Boston.
--Dealing Josh Hamilton was a good idea as evidenced by Volquez's first season.
Yeah, I'll stop there and go hang my head in shame. Maybe find a cylindrical hat to wear while I peruse a spider web in the spot where two walls meet.
I was wrong about Brandon Claussen.
I was wrong about Ricardo Aramboles.
I was wrong about Johnny Ruffin.
I was wrong about Ty Howington.
Those damn pitching prospects we kept acquiring in the JimBo years! (Technically Claussen was acquired the same day JimBo was fired)
