Around SBN: NFL Players Ready To Welcome Gay Teammate

How much will it take for the Reds to make you happy this year?


Someone posted a poll similar to this a long time ago.  It will be interesting to see how expectations have changed.  Of course we all hope that the Reds will do well in the playoffs, but plenty of us will be satisfied with these season as is.  Do they need to put up a fight? Or is a divisional title enough for you? Is it World Series or bust?  Or somewhere in between.  Vote and discuss.

I'm not gonna smile all starry-eyed at a Phillies sweep (I have tickets to Game 4 doncha know)..

..but I said in April that 82 wins would probably validate the managerial moves and also indicate that many young players were progressing nicely. And then Mike Leake and Travis Wood came along and got this team into the playoffs.

And a Joey Votto MVP two or three years ahead of schedule?

I’m happy.

I predicted the central division win in April

At the time I also predicted a loss in the WS to the
Yanks……recently I’ve been say Reds will win the WS…and I stand by that.

though to your credit

you were one of only two people to put the Reds in first place in the division. Kudos Mads, you crazy old coot!

That's classic Madville.

To put forth something crazy that we all want to say but can’t bring ourselves to. While simultaneously coming up with some shit that makes no damn sense at all.

When It was asked, I think I said I'd be satisfied with the Reds winning one game in the post season.

But frankly, I’m already pleased. It will suck if they fall apart now, but it won’t crush me. They’ve fallen apart many times during the season, and they got this far!

I thought about this last night on the way home

Knowing today was the beginning of the playoffs, I asked myself, “What would make jch happy?”. After stopping for beer, smokes, and a nudie mag I realized I’m already happy with this season. Don’t get me wrong, I think that while the Reds got the worst draw in the NL, I also think they’re the one team that can match up well with the Phillies.

All I’ve really wanted the last five years was to BELIEVE. Well, I’m there. The rest is gravy, folks. Enjoy the hell out of it.

It's more efficient, as it acts as a receptacle
