My boss took me to a Reds game after work today and the pitching was atrocious. No wonder the Reds are in dead last.

Man, I don't think I've ever watched a Reds game. I generally don't watch the NL, but I still manage to catch a game or two from most of the NL teams... Yet for some reason it's never the Reds. I don't know why. It's not like I avoid them or anything... It's just one of those weird things.

I'd like to say "Yeah, well they've got some good young arms and some promising bats in the system" or "Sucks, man, their future looks pretty bleak"... But I simply haveno idea/I] what their situation is.

From what I gather, the pitching staff has had a lot of injuries for the past couple years. There were also pitchers tonight that weren't finding the strike zone. I think the Reds went through 3 pitchers in 2 innings. It was ridiculous.

The pitching staff is mediocre, to say the least.

Benson is the ONLY thing that worries me about the Bears.
they added Archuleta, and Mike Brown is back. Which will probably mean that people wont run on them like last year.

Can/should we make an NFL 2007 season thread where we make picks and discuss stuff, or do you think it is unnecessary and will get locked since we have this thread?

 

[Ender Rises]

We have this thread. Methinks keep it all in here.

I have Baltimore as my defense on fantasy league, but this post is still equal to double fail.

Actually I like all four teams in that division, and I love Chad Johnson. But I gained a lot of respect for the Ravens last year, especially as one of only two teams that beat the Chargers (I don't count N.E. since the Chargers beat themselves that game). I got no hate for the Bengals.

Not to be a troll but I find baseball the stupidest sport in existance. Its boring to watch because good players hit the ball 1/4 of the time. The same stuff pretty much happens, its usually strike, or ball, or hit, run, catch, home run. Its really boring. I don't watch sports, they are more fun to play, but baseball is boring because its boring to wait to bat or to be in the out field waiting for someone to hit.

I don't understand how people can start fights over baseball teams. Its just gay.
