bclion Posted April 6, 2005 Report Share Posted April 6, 2005 I saw a prediction from Peter Gammons today that makes very little sense to me. He picks the Reds 5th in the NL Central. He picks, St. Louis (not much problem there - but anything can happen), Cubs 2nd (potential doesn't cut it, Lots of holes and rotation not as good as others), Astros 3rd (Lost a lot, they're old and definitely fragile), THE BREWERS 4th (what - out of his mind) and then the Reds 5th, followed by Pittsburgh 6th. If he didn't talk about Boston too much before, he'll certainly do that now. I would love to check and see his analysis on the Reds and A's in 1990 - I'd bet that he didn't give the Reds a chance then either. I remember that Joe Morgan was one of the few that said the Reds would give them all that they would want because of team speed that year. I'd guess that Gammons predicted a sweep by Oakland, or at the least a 4-1 advantage for the A's. I'd love for the Reds to shut up some of the these guys like Gammons. Generally, I like him and by all accounts, he is a very good guy in the game of baseball - but, the Brewers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nati Ice Posted April 6, 2005 Report Share Posted April 6, 2005 gammons is a crackhead reds will fight for contention and mark my words the pirates will be tough every game, now for what that means in terms of w's and l's... i dunno Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Dan_Bengals_FL- Posted April 6, 2005 Report Share Posted April 6, 2005 Gammons is knowledgable but sometimes makes shaky predictions. I think this is one of them. While I am not a Reds fan, and don't see them going that far, this year, I don't see how in the world the Brewers will beat them out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BengalBacker Posted April 6, 2005 Report Share Posted April 6, 2005 Peter Gammons is an asshole. Not because of this prediction. He's just an asshole. Never has known what the hell he's talking about. I wonder how some of these guys get to the positions they hold. Assholes promoting them is my guess.

Pdub#1 Posted April 6, 2005 Report Share Posted April 6, 2005 I like it. No one will expect us to be any good, they wouln't know what hit them after playing the Reds. With our offense alone how can Gammons rank the Reds 5th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VonBlade Posted June 10, 2005 Report Share Posted June 10, 2005 Wow. Fifth. He definitely was high. We are almost bottom of AAA let alone the freaking Majors. Although with runners at the corners and one out, 4-1 up, who knows right now VB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BengalBacker Posted June 10, 2005 Report Share Posted June 10, 2005 Gammons is still an asshole though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
