It's real tough losing to the clear worst team in the MLB who only had 21 wins prior to yesterday when the next closest team had 10 more.
While everyone expects the Reds to win the series against the team that bad, I think we all really expected them to sweep this series.

I'll give it another month or so before I consider not watching the team anymore, as that's when the NFL preseason gets going, but it's frustrating when we as fans feel like the team could accomplish so much if the team would throw $20-40 more mill into the team but they won't/can't, greatly relying on the success of their young homegrown talent year after year.

Rumor from this week though is Manfred is actually pushing for a salary cap.

That could really help level the playing field for the smaller/cheaper market teams.
