And found something priceless for us Cincy fans that have been suffering. I give credit to the poster who goes by the handle of membengal.......... Hello darkness my old friend I’ve come to talk with you again Another 90+ loss season is here And the lack of plans remains quite clear And the memories, of an ownership that cares, fade away Within the sound of silence. In restless dreams I walked to the fray at 100 Joe Nuxhall Way Neath the halo of the Reds’ hall of fame lamps I turned my collar to the cold and damp, When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of another opposing home run, that yet again marred the fun and touched the sound of silence. And in the naked light I saw 2000 people give or take People sitting without cheering People flinching to “golly day” bleating People voicing concerns that ownership thinks not fair And John Fay dared not disturb the sound of silence. Fools, said I, you do not know, Silence like a cancer grows. The incompetence should teach you The losing should reach you But the losses, like silent raindrops fell, and echoed in the wells of silence. And the people bowed and prayed, to the memories in the Reds’ hall of fame And the memories flashed out this warning, And the words the memories were forming, Said the way forward lies in a front office overhaul Or the Reds will continue to cast a pall In the sounds of silence. I use to go to the message board on Reds.com but I can't find away to get on that message board any longer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stlboiler23 Posted September 28, 2018 Report Share Posted September 28, 2018 Cardinals would’ve been eliminated weeks ago with Matheny still at the helm. Glad they at least got in position to make the playoffs but they need a lot of changes before next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's between Yelich and Baez. Yelich will win batting title and Baez RBI title. I think Yelich's batting #'s are slightly better than Baez'. Baez is the better fielder at his position than Yelich at his. I think the team that wins the NL Central will determine who wins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheWatShot Posted September 29, 2018 Report Share Posted September 29, 2018 Hilarious watching the Cardinals fall apart this week. ESPN gave them an 86% chance of making the playoffs Sunday evening. A team that so often prospered off the late-season misfortunes of others finally got a taste of its own medicine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seeking6 Posted September 30, 2018 Report Share Posted September 30, 2018 Usually my angst for Sunday's is for the Bears only.....guess today we get to add the Cubs to the list too. Both Cubs and Brewers starting just after 3pm today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
