I’m not trying to downplay anything about the hurricanes. But even though Olney is human being, not just a baseball guy, I wish he would tone down the reports on the weather. I guess there’s no way I can say this without sounding like an arse.
(I don’t even know if you were speaking of the hurricaine tweets or the Reds stinking - the latter obviously is correct)

On pace for 68-94.
Reds show no improvement from last season, finishing with an identical 68-94 record.
This is third consecutive last place finish for the Reds. Only two other times have the Reds ever had consecutive last place finishes: 1931-34 and 1982-83.
It is also the third consecutive season of 90+ losses by the Reds. The only other time the Reds have ever had consecutive seasons of 90+ losses was 1930-34.

Even though this was another bad season I will still miss it. I miss the every dayness of it and looking forward to another game. Although I didn't look forward as much this season as I had in a long time. It's another mark in time too. I have seen 46 seasons now and that just means I am getting much older myself. I hope I can still be around when the Reds do turn it around someday.
There was some promise in the younger starting pitching at the end of the season. Maybe a couple of them will blossom next year. If the ownership will go out get a decent veteran starter to go with Bailey and the other young starters next year should be better. Probably not a contender but maybe approach .500 baseball. Hope springs eternal by March and I hope we will have a reason to be more hopeful in 2018. See you back in the game threads in April of 2018.
