OK, I am starting to get excited about this team. I know I shouldn’t but I can’t help it.

[...] Game Thread: Astros at Reds — 2209.05.26 Redleg Nation – PeopleRank: 0 – 5 hours ago …Lance Berkman. Those guys kill me. I’d love to have either of them playing for the Redlegs, but I’m so sick of looking at them in Astros jerseys, I could scream. All they do is excel against the good guys. One note: Nick Masset is back. Wilkin Castillo… Cited people : Darnell McDonald Roy Oswalt + vote [...]

Maybe it’s just the Cubs he kills! But it seems like he is a feared hitter all around the league right now. It’s nice to have a guy like that in the Reds lineup. Man if Jay Bruce figures out some things the Reds middle of the lineup could be a terror!

I can’t believe Scott Sloan does extra innings…lol

Votto’s been relatively mortal against the Astros and Brewers, actually.

Reds are about to be 1.5 games back in the NL Central…that’s exciting – especially since this team doesn’t seem to be doing it with smoke and mirrors like the team a couple of years ago did.

I thought we didn’t have anyone to play centerfield without McDonald on the team

The thing I love most about Votto is that he seems to kill all the teams in the NL Central, especially the Cubs. We finally have a Berkman, a Pujols, a Derek Lee in his prime 3-4 years ago…I hated seeing those guys at the plate.

I think all the other fans in the Central are probably starting to think of Votto in that way. They get a sickly feeling in their stomach when he comes up with the game on the line.

I wonder how much longer Cecil Cooper has left in Houston.

That was fun! I love me some smiling side of the scoreboard!! I want to see that stadium getting full after our trip to Milwaukee and St. Louis puts us in 1st place, and no I dont mean with STUPID CUB FANS on that very short homestand. Ugh, that though alone really gets my goat. Go Redlegs!
