Exactly, Cincinnati needs to get over our losing mind set.

I'm loving it.

Reds winning, Bengals having a productive offseason, city development is moving along.

How you feel about the Streetcar DMX?

 

[dmxfury]

Any public transportation I'm in favor for, I hate that you have to drive (or cab if I'm at bars) everywhere, so stupid. How great would it be to ride something down to a game? I'm still not sold on the Banks until it is finally completed though, just have seen it delayed too many times

The Banks will hopefully finally go through as plan without a hitch. Thing has been planned for too long to stop now. The streetcar will also finally put the transit center downtown to use, finally. I never realized how sucky it is to just have buses and cabs until recently when I noticed the bus timing sucks. Metro some how has designed so many buses that go in the same areas, but they have similar time points which is stupid. The street car can hopefully feel that void plus make it easier to get to popular destinations without scheduling and packing up on buses.

Also I see them as a end to the Tank shuttle buses too. If these streetcars are going to go through Newport and Convington eventually, they'll be no need for the shuttles.

But a MAJOR problem we need to fix along the way is our homeless and crime issues. Too many mentally ill people are walking around stopping everyone they see for money. Crime is another issue, especially since Mardy was robbed across the street from UC. Our main college 

. We need to beef up the police like a few years back.

I love this city

.

Edit: I want a NBA team again for the record. Tear US Bank arena down or turn it into a giant parking garage. I want a NBA team. Atl has the big three so why can't we? Cleveland too.

That was a great win. Homer with a strong outing.

It's still May that's why people are still being hesitant.

 

[wildkycat]

Homer, again.

  this team is fun.  Jonny Gomes is my guy.


the Brewers have lost 8 in a row.

 

[wildkycat]

It landed?

Jonny Gomes is my guy.
Him and Scott Rolen have been playing GREAT lately

 

[dmxfury]

No doubt the city still has many things to work out, there are tons of homoess walking around stopping people, just makes people uncomfortable and hesitant to go back down. I personally don't like going out DT as much as other areas any way

 

[dacomeup]

This team just doesn't give up.

 

[airmaxbuckeye]

Nick Masset misses his mark, and Jason Heyward makes him pay. Another great comeback, though...tough way to lose it.

Cubs, 4 game win streak. Thats a positive blip on otherwise all negative radar.

Here we are just sitting around, waiting for the other shoe to drop. That makes for a fun season.

 

[arstyle27]

^^

It's sad, but it's true...

 

[franchise 55]

This dude, Joey Votto is on fire.

 

[eentegra]

oh the cubs. glad they got the win last night. one of the few times i get to watch em play (where im at, its all phillies. sux). marmol is like wild thing over there. i was nervous as hell he's going to blow it. smh....

anyway, is it me or does it seem that lou wants to just get this season over with and retire? haha

 

[wildkycat]

Un @@!$!%+ believable.

 

[airmaxbuckeye]

There's the Reds I know and love...

 

[wildkycat]

4 errors. Mike Leake should be 5-0.

I was gonna put out a Suicide Watch for you. Good to see you're ok.

 

[wildkycat]

Losing games like that is gay.

4 ERRORS? How do you not get someone to hit into 3 cheap outs

? This is what the 3rd, 4th blown save?

A Brooks Conrad grand slam in the bottom of the ninth inning put Atlanta past Cincinnati 10-9. The Reds gave up seven runs total in the ninth.

Rookie Mike Leake was outstanding again. He went six innings, allowing three runs (one earned) on five hits. He walked one and struck six. He also singled and doubled.

The Reds jumped all over Atlanta ace Tommy Hanson, scoring eight runs all with two outs in the second.

Those responsible for such a meltdown deserve...

 

[tylerdub]

Mike Leake was starting for me today, plus the Cubs lost. NL central letting me down all over the place.

 

[jdcurt2]

Craziest loss that I can remeber. Unreal.
