Okay, this is coming from a place of pure honor-less spite after last night’s drubbing. But it’s also true:

We get on batters for pimping home runs. “Act like you’ve been there before,” we tell them.

If we hold batters to that standard, how about teams?

I’m talking to you, Cincinnati “fireworks-in-the-middle-of-an-inning” Reds.

I live in a minor league city. Turns out Reds fans do too.

Good stuff, William. I put this turkey to bed after Heisey’s second home run which made it 4-1 Reds. It wasn’t because I felt the onslaught coming. It looked to me like Cueto was going to have the Yankees off-balance, and readjusting their jocks all night.
He was the only reason to stay awake, and I opted against it, as did the Yankees.
