Reds the best team in baseball. Discuss

[chitwood]

OK, not really, but as a displaced Reds fan living in Austin, the fact that they are above .500 on May 14th, let alone tied for first in the Central is shocking. I've usually tuned out of baseball by now.

I was a fan of Frank Robinson and Vada Pinson when they played for the Reds. I was less of a fan of the Big Red Machine.

Boy, you are an Old Hippie.

 

[cochamps]

By the way, how did that Milt Pappas for Frank Robinson trade work out?

 

[OldHippie]

Luckily I became a fan of Frank and Brooks Robinson at Baltimore and that worked out pretty well.

Nah, it seems like every year the Reds are in 1st place in May. By mid-June, that is but a memory...

 

[scharnell]

Sorry, but the best team is easily the Rangers...above .500, in first place, and its May!

Better than a championship for the worst team in baseball which the Astros are definitely in the hunt for. But you're definitely in the position to ridicule Rangers fans.

^Unfortunately for the Rangers, no awards are given for "hot starts". If they did, your trophy case might not be completely empty.

 

[Redbandito]

Yeah but yours would. Enjoy fighting for last place this year. It must be miserable looking up at one of the worst franchises in all of pro sports.
