Washed Away

Last night, about 10:02, something happened. With a downpour of rain, I watched the Reds entire season turn around. Yes sir. Following a triple of the wall over Grif's head with 2 outs and a one run lead, the rain came. During this 43 minute delay, David Weathers and Eddie Guardado developed a strategy for Chase Utley and Ryan Howard...don't pitch to them. Well, Stormy didn't, but even when your pitching around someone you can throw strikes. He did. After Utley walked, Howard watched strike three go by. Then in the top of the 9th Adam Dunn went opposite field. The team that came out from the rain delay was not the same team that went in. This team has luck on its side. So count me in. I'm starting the bandwagon. Not only am I driving the train, I'm building it. Today around the office was the most upbeat day since I started working for the team. I don't care how bad this bullpen is, and how bad these starters can be. This team is going into the all star break in fourth place, and charging hard. Write it down.

The NBA draft is tonight, and with Portland apparently making the decision that they would take Oden, and then leaking it, has totally taken the drama out of the first 20 mins. From the third pick on out, it should be pretty good. Who do I think will be the Brady Quinn of the NBA draft? I'm praying its Joakim Noah. For the pain hes put this state through the fast few years, he deserves to lose some money.

This is a short entry. but only because there are a lot of good columns who said what I was thinking way better than I ever possibly could. I think I might blog my first reactions of the NBA draft first round live tonight. Check back tomorrow for some seriously delusional thoughts.
