The Cincinnati Reds. Certainly an enigma this year. I find myself, given the '97 strike which I will always have clearly burned into my memory, along with the gratuitous corporate whoring going on with advertising in baseball lately, wanting to hate what was formerly my favorite sport. However, this year, the Reds, which until the afforementioned complete screwjobs on the fans by baseball had been my favorite team in all of pro sports, are poised to have their best year in quite some time. This, despite the GM stating clearly the Cincinnati fans should have low expectations, because we are a "small market" after all. So I guess, in summary, I find myself reluctantly cheering on the Reds.
