I took my family to the Civil Rights Game between the Reds and the White Sox last night. We had a great time. The game was pretty good until the Reds blew a 5-0 lead. It was interesting looking at the body languages of MLB teams and comparing it to NFL players and coaches. Baseball is a much more laid back sport. NFL sidelines go nuts when they are down a few scores. The White Sox were getting their butts kicked and made tons of throwing errors during the game, but they stayed calm. I kept waiting for White Sox manager Ozzie Guillen to go off and start cussing out his players, but he just sat there spitting out his sunflower seeds. And with one swing of the bat, the White Sox were back in the game. They ended up winning by two runs. The Reds on the other hand were winning the game in every area, and things were going well. Then once the White Sox came back, the Reds couldn’t stop the bleeding. But I think the Reds are a good team. They just have to start winning these games that they have control of. The NL Central will go to the wire and these kind of games will keep teams out of the playoffs. Like I said back in April, I think having Adam Dunn on this team would really help. I know he strikes out a lot, but so does everyone else on this team. But Dunn will finish with 40+ HR’s every year, and that would help this team get over the top and take pressure off of Jay Bruce and Brandon Phillips.

Happy Fathers Day to all. I’m going through some emails and people keep asking when I will get back to posting. I will start serious football blogging once training camps open. Nothing to really write about now. Most teams feel pretty good at this point of the off season. Every team says that their chemistry is much better than it was the year before. Every team says that they are in better shape. Every team says that they are going to be more aggressive than in year past. Just think, have you ever heard of a defense saying that they were going to be less aggressive??? Nope lol. All is well in all 32 NFL cities. The adversity will begin once the pads come on in August. Only then will coaches see the real improvement of their teams. And then there will be another phase once preseason games start. When the regular season starts, it all counts. The off season won’t mean a thing at that point. So I’m getting very excited for training camp to start. Should be a very exciting NFL season in 2009.
