I know most won't care, BUT....

....as a LOOOOONG suffering Reds fan, with a 61-99 record ....would you take a bet that the Reds could avoid 100 losses, if the odds were like...oh...10-1?

And I realize they have stunk MOST of the year, but at one point, they were 58-80...which means 3-19 down the stretch....nice.

The owner should sell to someone who wants to win....

You were just in the playoffs in 2020, stop complaining!

2020 didn't count though that was the Covid exhibition year. As a Cubs fan 8 might have watched 6 innings of baseball all year. Really hope they start spending like the large market club they are next season

Didn’t they start 3-22 as well? Not only is that some amazing symmetry but it means they were like 56 and 59 in between.

At least you get the 3d or 4th pick in the draft!

I swear all my teams other than the Heat are mirror images of each other. Nebraska, Washington and the Reds have made my weekends shit for years. 🤦🏽‍♂️

I wish Chris Sabo, Barry Larkin and Eric Davis were still on the team!

Could be worse. Could be a Pirates fan like me. Even the Reds have hope sometimes.

you have OWNED us down the stretch....playing young TALENTED guys...

Baseball has to be so boring once you know you are out of it, which for some teams is 30 games into the season...you still have 130 games to play and you know the season is over.

I work with a guy who is a long time Pirates fan. He says he grew up listening to them on AM radio in the 60s. He doesn't even talk about them anymore, he's more interested in listening to me blather on and on about the Royals young talent.

Well, interested might be a strong word...

And if any of those "talented young guys" get good they'll be traded for a Gatorade cooler and a few bags of sunflower seeds because the owner is a total cheap ass. That is the way of the Pirate... lol

Same situation, different colors😂
I watched the pirates play two in Cincy… their tall SS is awesome!

One of the reasons MLB blows. Own a team and don't give two shits about winning because you are printing money by simply existing as a MLB team.

And they do it while looking their fans in the eyes and saying that they're losing money.

SALARY CAP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

They might have negative cash flow but they at the same time could have capital appreciation.

Loss 100….15-2…. Perfect….🙄🙄🙄

Long suffering Cardinals fan here. 😁
Used to be a fun rivalry with the reds. Miss the almost fights. Yadi and Waino retiring will definitely shift things. Reds fans had some fun hatred of Yadi.
There was still some entertainment in Cincy this year. Joey Votto’s interactions with the crowd are legendary. His miked up stuff is even better!
