2nd 3 game winning streak this year? Can that be right?
2nd 3 game winning streak this year? Can that be right?
Baseball is like church. Many attend, few understand
They mean something for the players and loyal fans who still follow the Reds. I have to say it, but Rolen really makes a difference in this team. Too bad we don't have a few more like him. It's almost if he brought a different attitude to the team with his heads up play. Or maybe it's my imagination.

I don't at all think it's your imagination. But why do you hate to say it? It's not a bad thing the Reds managed to make a move that upgraded their club. I realize not everyone is crazy about what it took to make the move, but the Reds did help themselves with that move. He's a good ball player and he has the intangibles. It's a good situation.

I agree with the Rolen factor.

I don't know if Rolen's making anybody else play better, but he's a really good ballplayer and one I'm damn glad to have on the team.
“I don’t care,” Votto said of passing his friend and former teammate. “He’s in the past. Bye-bye, Jay.”

Winning games is never counterproductive. The future is always now. The game is played today.
The guy can really play. Love the defense, and his baserunning has been tremendous. The young guys better be watching.I don't know if Rolen's making anybody else play better, but he's a really good ballplayer and one I'm damn glad to have on the team.
