Yeah youre right since we've won a division title more recently then the reds.
its ok theyve won a world series more recently than the cubs have as well
Sounds like Cub fans are still a little sore about Steve Bartman. Recent central division championships don't equate to World Champs.
Yeah, because he has been brought up so much this thread right? I hope you guys enjoy a season of success, then sink right back to mediocrity again. I was rooting for the reds to overtake the cards, but I really don't care who wins the division.
Yeah, may have been a low blow, but there is a big Cubs superiority complex going on here. For the record I have nothing against the Cubs...more against the Cardinals. But I am relieved that the Cubs/Cards talk has went down a little this year.
Whatever though...you can be bitter about losing a season of being legitimate in baseball. I understand it is not too much fun when your teams aren't doing well in the sports void of summer.
C'mon, now. That's a little harsh. The Reds were good for half a season a few years ago, too.
I don't see the Reds falling off, their pitching is just too good and they have depth to add to it in the second half. They also have a good enough farm system to make some moves if they need it even though a RH bullpen guy is about the only hole I can see.
FYI, the Mexican-Canadian will likely win the MVP, so everyone will know who he is soon.
He's actually Italian-Canadian, but yes... he is having a great year. The addition of Volquez to the rotation will be great. I'm hoping they bring Chapman up to pitch out of the bullpen fairly soon as well.

You're forgetting one key fact in your analysis here and that fact is Dusty Baker. Hey may take you far, but he will find a way to **** it all up and tear out your heart...
Much better than the usual circle-jerk from Cub fans about how cool it is to be a Cub fan.
Sports is fun with villains and rivals. Byrd said that they were friendly over the course of the break. Seems like Votto's having some fun and rile up the fans.
The irony for Votto is that he probably loves the Cubs. He has 15 career HR's and an OPS over 1.00 career against us. OPS is even higher than that at Wrigley.
