I really wasn't expecting a 11-8 game when I saw that Cueto was facing Carpenter.
Nice to see the kids slamming the ball!!!!!

Notice that they've just produced 4 homegrown starters now 25 and under: Bailey, Leake, Wood, Cueto.Notice there isn't one exciting arm coming up now, or probably next year. Just a bunch of blah.
Take a look around other rotations. You won't see many bearing the fruits of their farm systems like the Reds is.
Geez. After a season of watching older guys struggle at the plate, since when is it shortsighted to celebrate some rookies mashing?We still only interested in bats in Reds country eh?
And yes -- it's a franchise with a proud history of fielding some offensive juggernauts. They have a chance to field another team like that in the next few years. Good by me. Doesn't mean they can't also win.
I don't know about you guys but I would love to see a team that can pitch AND mash.. Oh, and play defense.

Some folks only look at the shiny side of the car, the other side of the car has dents on it.
These folks know who they are, as do I.
The game starts on the bump in the middle of the field, this is fact that i'm convinced is lost on the majority of Reds fans out there (and in these game threads) that's my opinion and I'm sticking to it. 10 years on this board tell me nothing else matters.
