This game is starting to remind me of the 1990 A's-Reds World Series. We were never given much of a chance in that game. The A's had the Bash Brothers, Rickey Henderson, Dave Stewart and Dennis Eckersley and the Reds were really just lucky to be there. I was starting to believe the National media as well. Then we kicked their ass!
They can put Ramsey on Jamarr which will leave their 5'9" CB to cover our 6'4" Tee Higgins I think Joe Burrow will take that match up. They can also rush their 4 man front and LB Von Miller and we will see if Burrow can feast on their LB's in coverage of Boyd/Uzomah or a possible screen to Mixon/Perine. This will be the first time seeing Burrow have 2 weeks time to prepare for an opponent. I like our chances with number 9 better known as Jackpot Joey!

I vividly remember the cameras panning through the As dugout in game 3 or 4 and just showing all the dejected looks on everyone’s face….especially mark McGwire. Will be we forget that

The Reds were much, much bigger underdogs than the Bengals are. Most felt the A's were probably gonna sweep that series. As it turned out, the Reds were CLEARLY the better team. Sometimes the favorite is really not the better team after all.

We have a coach Lou as well even though they call em managers in baseball...No clue why that is..
I always wondered how the A's were such heavy favorites considering the Reds had been in first place all year... I guess popularity really doesn't determine the outcome of most games..unless it's of course rigged..

Remember that 1990 was before cell phones an internet.
I had a camping trip planned that weekend with some friends for "Bridge Day" in West Virginia. Reds won the firat two game at home and were up 2-0 when I left on Friday. I hated to miss the games on Friday and Saturday, but they were playing in Oakland and I didn't think there was any way we would win 2 straight there and sweep them. First thing I did when we came out of the woods was buy a paper and read the sports section. Not only had the Reds won the series but my UT Vols who were ranked #3 in the country had been upset by an unranked Alabama team with a losing record (2-3).
Hard to imagine how it was without cell phones and internet.
