The Cavs have to surround Lebron with better talent or he's going to bolt. And it would definitely help if they'd can Mike Brown too.

We own Zambrano. Over the past 3 years, his ERA is close to 5 against the Reds including 13 homers in 84 innings. I'm going to say we chase him after 3.1 innings and win the game 11-6. I'm really not a Zambrano fan, so I hope you're right. I'd love for the offense to explode for double digit runs tonight. |

Plus he isn't on any of my fantasy teams, so that's always a bonus too. |

Well then, someone lied to me along the way. My understanding was that the Reds moved to Boston when the NL banned alcohol from the stadiums or something like that.
Sorry for the confusion.

Here's a piece on it from Wikipedia. The best players of the Cincinnati Red Stockings relocated to Boston after the 1870 season, taking the nickname along with them and becoming the Boston Red Stockings, a team later dubbed the "Beaneaters" and eventually the "Braves", who are now based in Atlanta. A new Cincinnati Red Stockings team became a charter member of the National League in 1876, five years after the first Red Stockings team. The second Red Stockings team was expelled from the league after the 1880 season, in part for violating league rules by serving beer to fans at games, and for their refusal to stop renting out their ballpark, the Bank Street Grounds, on Sundays. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cincinnati_Reds |

No.
You're right. The Reds have always been in Cincinnati.
The Braves were in Boston at one point, maybe that's what he was remembering.

Some of our traitorous players are responsible for the pestilence that is the Braves. |
