A New Place to Talk Reds

If you've gotten tired of reading the same posts from the same people on your the message boards that you visit right now, there's a new one trying to make a place on the scene. I registered for Reds Talk today and am user #5.
Might be a good opportunity to get in on the ground floor and dominate the conversation someplace new. Maybe you can copy all of your RHM comments there.
(Gasp!) Post on another blog? And cheat on you, RHM? Nebber! 😎
Welcome back to the information superhighway, and now that you and yours are all moved into your new home, I wish the best for all of you. Packing up and moving sucks the big caramel stick, but afterward I’ve always enjoyed unpacking and actually turning a new place into a home.
Sounds like getting a bigger TV might be one of the first things you might do towards that end, even if you just grab a bigger portable from somebody’s yard sale. I had one of those tiny little TVs some time back. In fact, I think it’s still around somewhere, but I found that trying to watch a sporting event on it was an exercise in futility. Baseball, I couldn’t even tell who was pitching. Football was a little better, the numbers on the uniforms are a lot bigger and I could at least tell who the QB was, but is that the ball or just a fruit fly that landed on the screen? And I once watched a full period of hockey on it without ever quite knowing where the puck was.
Worse yet, it was a black-and-white TV, so depending on what teams were playing and what color patterns were on their uniforms, I couldn’t necessarily even tell which grey blobs on the screen belonged to what team. Sometimes during a football game it would look like the QB threw the ball and a guy caught it (or did he just pump fake and that was the fruit fly the guy caught?), but I had to wait to see which way the guy who caught it started running before I knew if it was a completed pass or an interception.
Fortunately, the sound worked great. If I watched a Reds game and at the end the announcers said the Reds won, I took their word for it.
The day I spotted a 13″ color portable at a yard sale and paid $10 for it and brought it home, I got some idea of how the folks must have felt who attended the first sneak-preview screening of The Sound Of Music.
Speaking of music – “This one belongs to the Reds” at the end of the game? Three times in a row now? Music to my ears!
GO REDS!
It’s not a blog, it’s a message board. Geez, learn the difference. :laugh:
I am user #8, although I will give the cautionary note that things like this I sign up for tend not to get off the ground.
I am user #24. Drat! I shoulda picked “Jack Bauer” as a user name. 😀
last thing i needed was to join another reds site….
Oh! I’ll have to go over there to talk to you guys. It’s like texting a person sitting across the room from you!
they traded dunn and now maybe dunn. people want to see home runs win or lose. to help the team-trade the bull pen
