Tonight the Reds (22-38) begin a three-game series against the Athletics (25-24). We could call this a rematch of the 1990 World Series, only it’s June and both teams are terrible and we don’t have Rickey Henderson to kick around anymore. I’ll try to hold it to one Jose Canseco reference per game.
In any case, welcome back to a world in which two losses in a three-game series to the Cardinals is fairly universally described as “not as bad as I thought it was going to be.”
