MLB 2008 Season

[Jimbo]

I can't believe it's been 18 years since the Reds were in the series last. Man time flys.

I prefered the '70's championships !!!

Thank you. I do like to post here, it just seems so much different than where we were before. And at that forum Detroit fans were no more vocal than anyone else, it just seems here there are a few Detroit fans here that like to post, which is great.

Sarcasm? Did the Wings even make the playoffs? I don't even know...

Sandra,
The Red Wings won the Presidents Trophy again this year, (most points in the league)...
They finished off Nashville the other night, waiting for the next round, either Colorado or Calgary.

Yeah but is anyone at the games to witness this early success?

Careful there, they have three championships since the 70's, much more recient than a millinium , Tigers last Championship was '84.

This millenium began in 2001, and it hasn't been good for the Reds.

You didn't say this millenium, as in the last several years, so I was looking farther back

And it still upsets me that they beat the Pirates to get in.

The Reds have always tried to outshine the Bucs. If not for them, the Pirates would've been the best team in baseball in the 70's. Now they seem to be trying to keep the Pirates from being the worst team in baseball, or at least in the NL Central. I'm pulling for the Red Legs in that competition!

early in the season, but your st louis cardinals are atop of the division. not bad for a 5th place team. young guys are steping up, starting pitching has been solid, and we are missing our top two. bullpen has been great, though our closer has been shakey the past few weeks, might be his bad hip. and oh yeah, we have albert!!

in a fun strange game last night we bet the cubs in bottom of 11th with a HR!!! and i was there!! lol sports are alot more fun when your team can compete

 

[mccoyrj]

... lol sports are alot more fun when your team can compete

[dantheman77]
