Reds need to go 32-7 over the remaining games to get to 92 wins.

This is important because: http://www.ohiochatter.com/forum/threads/24398-Reds-vs-Astros...Game-1?p=733367&viewfull=1#post733367



I figured it be something fun to keep an eye on for the remaining games in the season.

If the Reds do this I'll buy you a fancy steak dinner. But I won't ever call you again.

This thread reminds me of the trash talk some Reds fans were doing leading up to our first series before we swept them. Things like "The Indians don't have staying power" etc, etc.. And how good the Reds are/would be.

Link? Not calling you a liar, but most of the noise was coming from the Cleveland side if I remember correctly

That was definitely me. lol

I hope no one finds that thread becuase I probably had some wrong ass shit on there lol

Something to the tune of "the reds are for real, they return basically everyone from a 90 win team, it's not like they're just gonna be bad all of a sudden"

Ehh I mean you really weren't that far off base imo, I don't particularly like the Reds but I certainly thought they would be contending for the NL Central this year.

That's the life of small market teams. I have a feeling hoops post was in honor of our resident tribe troll riders.

I do know the first reds/tribe thread there was a lot of crying, especially from you. It was very funny and ironic because you once claimed Cleveland fans need to grow thicker skin. Lolfail

I thought the Tribe was going to be one of the worst teams in baseball this season, I expected to be 100 loss season.

I would have taken the Reds at the beginning of the season no doubt.

Sure.

You can start with this post, which summarizes everything up to that point with the quotes. There is where you were being a hypocrite QQing idiot. http://www.ohiochatter.com/forum/threads/25454-Official-Battle-of-Ohio-thread-(Series-1-Cle)...?p=777255&viewfull=1#post777255

Here is a post about reds fans wouldn't get their panties in a bunch, including yourself.... lolfail: http://www.ohiochatter.com/forum/threads/15392-LeBron-has-some-not-nice-words-regarding-Gilbert-Cleveland-in-GQ?p=457991&viewfull=1#post457991

And here is the post where you bring up thicker skin:http://www.ohiochatter.com/forum/threads/15392-LeBron-has-some-not-nice-words-regarding-Gilbert-Cleveland-in-GQ?p=458324&viewfull=1#post458324


Funny how that thread was almost a year ago today, and not much as changed. You still have no idea what the hell you are talking when it comes to sports, and you still look like an idiot every time you post.

I don't see any crying from me. I was just basically pointing out how funny it was that at the beginning of the year, me and one or two of the Indians fans were talking about how the team was going to be solid and that they had some nice young talent while everybody else was talking about how they werent going to support the team and that the team was terrible. Then poof, the team started winning and all of those who abandoned ship started puffing out their chests and talking a bunch of noise about beating the Reds in a meaningless May series.

That was the extent of what I was saying. I could care less though really. I'm able to take the emotion out of things.
