OK, the Mets and O's are good examples, but what about the '90 Reds? Do you
really think that anyone expected them to sweep the A's? I know people who
didn't even think they'd win a game, let alone win the Series. We proved
them wrong, though, didn't we?
As for this year, ignore their record now. They've had a rocky start, and
that has nothing to do with Colorado. They shall rise again. The hunt for
a Reds' October continues. (with all due respect to WLW) Bye.
