The Reds...any questions

Oh boy,

  This was the first year that my Pirates could actually beat the Reds. I feel for you. I really do. The Pirates won't spend money to upgrade the team through free-agency. What is the problem with the Reds? I'm old enough to remember the Pirates losing the playoffs in 1972 to the Reds by a wild pitch by Bob Moose. The Pirates and Reds had some battles, even in the 1990 playoffs. At least the Pirates won 2 games against them...Then the Reds swept the A's in the World series.

The A's will strike down upon on thee Yankees tonight with Great Vengeance. For they who walk thru the dirty Stadium shall fear no evil. We are with thee, your bat and ball they comfort us. For thy is the Kingdom. the ALDS winners! Amen!   

Here are my three favorite teams

1.  Giants
2.  Whoever is playing the Dodgers
3.  Whoever is playing the Yankees

You sound almost exactly like my husband, @Morty426 ! Here's his list of favorite teams:

1. Mariners
2. Whoever is playing the Yankees
3. Whoever is playing the Dodgers

What a season for the Reds @Mixup7071 ... being last in your division sucks. Cheer's to next year...

A couple of my brothers and I went to Game 2 of that 1972 NLCS, remember sneakng down to the box seats Late in the game at Three Rivers.
Yeah , that Moose WP was sickening! Worse was that was still my favorite players last game ever, Roberto Clemente 21 !
Always did like watching Pete Rose , Johnny Bench play, when not playing the Buccos !

@MEK-Dangerous do you remember the item in the attached photo ?
I bought an actual yellow plaid w/ purpleand white polka dot lined jacket made especially for Bob Prince years ago, one of my brothers has it

didn't quite have the staying power of the "terrible towel"

@Topcat  he's referring to the '90 sweep by the Reds

Ah, The Jenkins Arcade, been there many times till it was torn down.
Photo is Jenkins Arcade and Empire Bldg demolition Feb 1984
Your right , don't think The Terrible Towel will ever end, carry one with me when I fly , if the plane is going down I will be flying it , so they can at least know that's my right hand in the wreckage clutching The Terrible Towel.

Sorry,

jumped the  gun when I saw 72.

The best team in Baseball in the 70's. A's.

Oh we are very much alike, I'm just better looking 

[Bills Auto Works]

 My Indians are still in it, but they need to play a whole lot better than last night!

[Mixup7071]

Two to three years ago the Reds traded off almost all there good players except for a couple for younger players, Reds went down hill fast

[Morty426]

OK - I need the Brewers to step it up

[Topcat]

Boston takes it in 6 games.
