It's October 27th, 2015, and we live in a world where Edinson Volquez and Johnny Cueto play for the same team, and that team is playing in the World Series.
Before your fragile 2010 heart gets aflutter, snap back to reality and realize that this isn't a World Series game featuring the once young-and-promising Reds starters, but rather the well-traveled veteran version of Volquez and the deadline trade prize Cueto, both pitching instead for the Kansas City Royals. Oh, and they're joined in that Kauffman clubhouse by former Reds fan favorite Johnny Gomes, but you knew that already.
