Cincinnati Reds 2019 season (Black Hole)

I’m torn.

I like baseball. The Reds are my team.

————————————————————

I hate baseball. The Reds suck. Baseball has no salary cap, making it a joke. As much as I’d like to see the Reds do well, I’m not an idiot. The odds are slim. It takes a perfect, stacked farm system to win in Cincinnati. The Reds are awful and what awaits them in return? Best case? A number 1 pick and a surefire stud sitting there. What’s that gonna get them? A few years of rooting for the stud before he bolts for money the Reds can’t offer. Yippee. Or the Reds pay that guy and can’t afford to pay anyone else giving us pretty much a team like we have now, plus that one good player.

No sport is perfect but football is far closer than baseball or the laughingstock that is the NBA when it comes to a level playing field.

The dissertation on the difference between causation, correlation and random stupid fucking once in a lifetime luck has been moved to room 301 at 9 am tomorrow.

Hey, just trying to give you guys some hope. I have to go back to the 70s to find any for the Pirates.

At this point it’s pretty much all the same.

I’m 35. Whatever happened in ‘90 is no different to me than what happened in the 70’s.

Yeah, they've both done plenty of sucking. But the Pirates' streak of 21 straight losing seasons may never be broken, so there's that. :lol:

Never fear, the Pirates relievers are here. :bonk:

Anything you can do, we can do better.

Glad to see David Bell is another in the line of fucktard managers. In what world does sending Iglesias out for a 3rd inning sounds like a good idea, you goddamn halfwit? Maybe if you hadn't burned through half the fucking bullpen in the 6th inning, you might have had someone else available.
