Is Fox Sports writing off the Deadbirds with this article today? Not a chance. Although seeing a suggestion that the Reds could make it all the way is wonderful, this is Rosenthal's employer, and he still keeps blabbering about every team but the Reds, especially the Asstros. As it is, if you look at this screenshot, you see beneath it an article on the Asstros, like they are still in the race. (Ok, so it's actually about Rancid Berkman moving up the power rankings, but they could have picked anyone else on that list to feature, like Pujols, for example.)
Without Griffey on the team, the itsy, bitsy, teeny, weeny, tiny, minute amount of respect the Reds get would dwindle to nothing, zero, zilch, nada, nil. I mean, Fox actually does an article on the Reds being in contention, and it's all about Griffey, who's been mired in what is probably the longest, lengthiest, expanded, extended, prolonged, sustained slump of his career. I'd look it up, but I don't really care about obscure, irrelevant, frivolous, immaterial, inconsequential, trifling stats like that, and I'd rather waste time rambling about how the Reds get no respect.
So I have a Curveball Beer in my Reds jersey coolie, have changed into my shorts with baseballs all over them, have seen that both McClayton AND LaWhiff are in the lineup (at least Bank of America Presents National League Player of the Week© EdE's playing), and am impatiently awaiting the start of the biggest series of the year. And maybe the collective metaphysical presence of Reds fans will rob St. Louis of its homefield advantage. Come on, use that other 90% of your brain to push the Reds to victory!
