I love the Cincinnati #Reds . I love them.
What is happening now, and what has happened for my entire life (27 years) has been just about the most pathetic showing a professional sports franchise could give.
Credit to the Owners and management. You failed a city.
Putting losing in perspective....
The #Reds have not finished better than 3rd place in the NL Central for 13 consecutive seasons:
3rd-4th-3rd-4th-3rd-3rd-4th-5th-5th-5th-5th-4th-3rd.
They have finished better than 3rd place just three times over the last 26 seasons: 1st 2012, 1st 2010, 2nd 2000.
NL Central division finishes since 2000:
1st place: 2 (2010, 2012)
2nd place: 1 (2000)
3rd place: 8
4th place: 8
5th place: 7
They have gone 12 consecutive seasons without winning more than 83 games.
They have just eight winning seasons over the last 26 years.
Forget winning a World Series, forget winning a playoff series, forget a winning season, forget making the playoffs....the Reds can't even compete in their own division. A division with markets like Pittsburgh, St. Louis and Milwaukee.
Just spotted what looks like an Otter swimming in the Ohio River! It was right under the Taylor Southgate Bridge near Newport.
Their return to the region is a really fascinating story. @greatparks

The Indianapolis Motor Speedway pylon is lit up in memory of Kyle Busch, who tragically died at 41 today. Busch won the Brickyard 400 twice in his career.
