    I've been critical of management at times for failing to get a cleanup hitter to protect our highest paid player in the lineup, and a leadoff hitter to give our highest paid player someone to knock in.

    But for today.......I'll say I was wrong.

    But I reserve the right to come back and say I was right.
    Who knew the solution was to get the highest paid player out of the lineup and let them win ten in a row!

    George Takei. I thought Chekov was the gay one.

    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.

    Ok, I was wrong again!

    PS- I WAS totally wrong about Paul Householder- I really did drink the kool aid and thought he would be the next Mickey Mantle.

    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....

    Re: I was wrong about....

    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)
    Go BLUE!!!
