Is there any better Opening Day game?

[johnson85]

Out of all the teams does anyteam have a better opening day tradition than the Cincinnati reds.

I don't think so.

[AGrizzlyBaer]

awsome display in the first so far a walk a single a double and a triple and still no outs... SHEEZE

*edit* they just hit for the cycle in the first... awsome

[cincy9275]

if this is how the reds are going to play all season then there in some serious trouble . i know it is only the first game but there defense is horrible today pitching is terrible harang gave up 9 runs. and it is still the 6th inning.

[Stripes]

I don't think Harang was responsible for all those runs... Hammond came on in relief and sucked hard.

[AGrizzlyBaer]

and three infield hits in that sixth... i mean come on...

[Stripes]

Yeah the Reds look terrible right now, specifically the pitching. This is about the start to the season everyone feared, and hopes of a surprisingly good year are being crushed very quickly.

[Whur CHad At?]

I left early...wow that was pathetic. Waste of money...

ADAM DUNN SUCKS!!!!!! Put him at first, he is the worst OF I have ever seen.

I think Wubya prob. slept threw that disaster of a game...I don't blame him.

[Stripes]

Well, look at the bright side... If we can give up 16 runs EVERY game, then we'll shatter that record easily!

[Whur CHad At?]

Here is my prediction...

we win 63 games and loose 100...that is just what I think

If we don't move Dunn to first base, It is over for us. Every team will just hit the ball at him and he will continue to drop them. And on top of that his batting average won't stay the same and will go down , and his strike outs might go up.

Unfortunately, a baseball season is 162 games, so your prediction is impossible

I know what you mean though

[ArmyBengal]

That was pathetic... I'm almost bored with baseball already...

God I hope they get better...

WHODEY !!!

s**t thanks BB...I should know better.

Too pissed to think

[CBin2k7]

They won't move Dunn to first. Just think if they move him to first he has to handle the ball on almost every play.

Plus Narron says Dunn is a better OF than 1st Baseman, take that for what it's worth.

[PMThor]

I know Dunn had a terrible game, but the winds were incredibly bad today too, for what that is worth. Cubs would just hit it up into the jet stream, and then let the wind play with it, then the hilarity would ensue.

I expect nothing out of the Reds this year. New ownership needs time to work things out, and I expect them to do that, just not this year.

I love Opening Day though.

But man, The Reds, my Reds, well they are horrific. As in an ugly, fat girl whose name you can't remember in the morning and who won't leave horrific. Eeegawds.

[johnson85]

ha maybe we can just clone 4 more Bronson Arroyos, the way he played yesterday was awesome, he definatey makes the rest of our pitchers suck.

[Whur CHad At?]

Arroyo will struggle, just watch. Milton did good his first game as Red as well.

[Stripes]

Whaddya know? The Reds are starting the season pretty well. Again.

Not too optimistic about that, but hey... Better than starting 0-4 like the Pirates.

[bengalboomer7]

Yup, I checked the box score last night, saw Milton have a two hitter through 4 innings, and I thought it was just the drugs kicking in. Found the game on TV, and it wasn't the drugs. I was delighted about Milton, but dissapointed I didn't have a better buzz

[Whur CHad At?]

First week they play like a playoff caliber team. Then they realize that there is 162 games, and they don't want to try that long so they start sucking ass
