1. WTF? You would watch Kerrigan/Harding before the Reds/Natinals.
Now maybe Michelle Kwan...

:wow:

3. You know,
I remember going to Reds/Pirates games in the 70's when they were actually relevant. Intestingly, the Reds also won the attendance wars during those years, doing much better than even the Skankees. The Pirates had shitty attendance in those years also, but at least they were able to bring championships home for their city during those years.

4. Now that Reds team I'd watch.
75 is still one of the best series ever.

5. Funny you mention that.
I always hated the Reds and especially Pete Rose, and now I think he should be allowed in the HoF. I grew up in Ohio as a Pirates fan hating the Reds.

Guess that says something. Cowboys fan moves to lower fairfield county in CT (ginats territory) and then moves to the DC area..

Hmmm.

Dedicated?? Crazy!!

:rofl:

10. Yeah but it's still only baseball.
Even good baseball isn't exactly Excitement City for me. ;)

11. Reds are actually a pretty good team
And Strasburg is ALWAYS a great show....I'll remember this when you tell me how exciting a 0-0 Hockey game going into OT is....;)

13. I won't have time to tell you how exciting it is....
...because in hockey they don't spend half the game standing there spitting out tobacco while the pitcher adjusts his jock.

:yoiks:

16. Almost, but I watched a movie called The Order instead.
Heath Ledger. Shannyn Sossamon. Peter Weller.

Not bad.

Should've been called The Sin Eater.
