another Reds fan?

i'm watching this Yanks/Reds game right now...first game on TV this year.

Yea I couldn't leave you in here alone. I'm only 18 but I've been a diehard Reds fan my whooooole life. Too bad I'm too young to even rememberus being in the World Series. I think my best Reds memories that I'm old enough to have are when Griffey came home and when Greg Vaughn was a monster andhe had the little game with the Mets to decide who made the playoffs. I'm excited about this year I think we can make some noise finally. Jocketty andKrivsky working together gives me confidence, along with Castinelli not being afraid to spend money if he has to.

Cards fans wont be making too much noise in this thread for another 10 years.............We are being cheap because of that damn stadium............looks likeits back to the 90`s for us, a couple few years of luck with no payoff............and mediocre baseball the other 8 years.

Honestly, i dont know who half the players on our team is anymore.

[arog27]

^^^^ I'm ready for some baseball wildKY.......especially with no Illinois team in the NCAA's and no professional basketball team this season.

 

[theotherai9]

Damn I can't wait to smash the Nationals April 4th (No Soriano)

 

[pacmagic2002]

^^^^^^^^^
Haha......Smash the nationals huh......Thats about the only team we`re gonna smash this year.

 

[arog27]

I'm not a vindictive person, but I'm going to thoroughly enjoy seeing the Cardinals lose a lot of games. I know what it's like to have a crappybaseball team, so i kinda sorta feel bad for their fans..........but that feeling doesn't last too long.

[h1]Cubs coach punk'd by pitchers[/h1]

http://blogs.chicagosports.chicagotribune.com/photos/uncategorized/2008/03/19/car_2.jpg By Paul Sullivan, 4:30 p.m. MESA, Ariz. -- The Cubs were heading out to practice Tuesday morning at HoHoKam Park when Aramis Ramirez went up to strength and conditioning coach Tim Buss. "Hey Bussy, what's your car doing on the ramp?" Ramirez asked, pointing to a wrecked '95 Nissan sitting on a ramp near the Cubs bullpen. Buss looked over at the wreck and replied: "That's not my car." But then Buss did a double-take. "Dude," he said to Ramirez. "That's my car!" Buss, who had just driven the car to work, soon discovered that it had been demolished beyond recognition by some unknown perpetrators and brought to the ramp for him to see. He was aware that the pitchers liked to pull pranks, like a couple years ago in Mesa when they stole Will Ohman's tires and left his car on cinder blocks. But this was no ordinary prank. The car windows had all been smashed in, the front, back and sides were all severely dented, and the smoking guns -- a couple baseball bats and balls -- were strategically placed in the windshield in case Buss wanted to get some fingerprints for the Mesa Police. http://blogs.chicagosports.chicagotribune.com/photos/uncategorized/2008/03/19/car_4.jpg But it didn't take a CSI team to figure out the perpetrators. Buss figured it was the "usual suspects" all along. "I figured (Jon) Lieber, (Kerry) Wood immediately, (Ryan) Dempster," he said. "Then I realized it was every pitcher we have." The Cubs players went on about their business and continued the workout while Buss silently fumed and wondered how he was going to tell his wife, who was the owner of the car. "It's a shame," Lieber said with a straight face. "What kind of person would do something like that? It really just shocks me. I'm sure she'll understand." After the workout ended, Buss was talking about the incident to reporters in the Cubs clubhouse when Dempster told him to "quit pouting" and come with him to the weight room to "see something." From there, Buss and several pitchers walked out a back door and found a 2008 Nissan Xterra parked in the walkway. The prank was complete. Buss was presented with a new SUV valued at around $25,000. While he sat in the driver's seat in a daze, Carlos Zambrano got in on the passenger's side and cranked the stereo, bobbing his head to the music. "I thought they lost their mind," Buss said. "I thought, 'I'm going to have to call Dr. Phil and have a team meeting. I couldn't figure out what they were doing." Buss was nearly moved to tears by the players' generosity. "They're great guys," he said.

That's great man, hilarious story. You know Demp was the main dude behind this, that guy is a fool.
