The rain came down in buckets as we made the drive to Cincinnati on Sunday morning, but I still held out hope that we’d be able to see the Reds play one final time before we flew home. After witnessing Thursday’s slaughter and Friday’s anemic offensive showing (we took a side trip on Saturday), I also hoped that the Reds might send us off with a win.
A few minutes before we arrived at Great American Ball Park – and just after we navigated a detour around the I-71 North, the left lane of which was closed due to flooding – the Reds’ Twitter feed finally announced that the game would not start on time, but the team was still “optimistic” that the game would indeed be played.
