Another uncompetitive loss to the flippn’ Pirates????…12-2??? TWELVE TO TWO!?!?!?….We lost to the GAWD damn Pirates!…12-2????? …Holy $12.00 Hot Dog Batman!!!.Have we REALLY slipped that far down the slope of mediocrity?…..Can it be that bad? I ran across an old newspaper today. One from July 4th, 2009. The Reds were 39-39, and limping towards the All-Star break, after flirting with competing for the division! One player from Cincinnati represented the team in that All-Star game, and he was (still is) the man we refer to as Coco Codero. The Reds have 49 million wrapped up in this guy, and despite his good work this year, he’s way over-paid by this team and a drag on our future. The Reds were unable to deal him, and now look like they’re gonna be limited in 2010 by his stupid ass FAT contract.

Meanwhile, the team will finish a ninth straight season under .500, and this year a horrible fall of near epically embarrassing proportion. By the end of June they were in the race, but since the All-Star break they are, like, 6-25? Six wins, and twenty-five losses! ?!?!? Me and 9 guys on this web site would have gone 6 and 25!! There is simply NO ACCOUNTABILITY in this town…Losing is just too easy! Its accepted as a birthright, and its freakin’ time to make it stop! Sell the team!…move the freakin’ team to a city that will demand they play ONE freakin’ season out of ten as a contender! SAVE the franchise! The current philosophy is NOT WORKING! SET the team free, and let them compete!

I’d take my kids to more Reds games but the last 10 we went to, they left thinking winning wasn’t a reachable goal. That’s all nice in those patsy-time leagues they play for “funzies” these days, but the ones we pay $191.92 a game to watch, NOT!! This town enjoys losing, its really the only way to explain the YEARS of sucking and the little change that follows. We take “it” like a New York Hooker takes to Linkin logs! The odd thing is you could HAVE the New York Hooker for the same price, if you ditch the beers at the game!…and, of course, YOU’D be “winning” with the hook!….OK, so maybe either way, its a loss!…still, losing is losing! At least here its close to disease free!

Still, can you name another town is such dire straights than this one, from a Sports perspective?…..Thank gawd for the cyclones, huh !?!?!? We make the Sacramento Kings look like Ohio State Football!….at least THEY get to the post-season!
