YAY!!! The message board wars spill over to the newspaper's editorial page!!! Just a few observations:
It was 1999 when the Reds lost the wild card tiebreaker to the Mets. I guess someone WAS kidding you when they said 1997.
The Reds and Bengals have done their job every year since 1990, except the Reds in late '94 and early '95, when they were on strike with the rest of Major League Baseball. Other than that, both teams played full schedules every year, which is their job.
The Cyclones suspended operations for two years, therefore if they've only missed the playoffs 3 times since 1990 while playing, that means they've only missed the playoffs 5 times if you include suspending operations.
How many extra points should be given to the Cyclones for winning a championship in the city limits, and where can I find the standings for all the points that are being given to these teams, and the scoring system? |

that's the most cyclones coverage i've seen in the enquirer in weeks. all great points, but the average enquirer reader doesn't care. it might be a safe guess that the majority of people in cincinnati don't even know there is a hockey team.
cincinnati is traditional, and by that i mean people stick with traditions. reds fans are more prone to remember the days of the big red machine than the 1990 team. people "bleed blue" just because. people who follow the bengals are waiting for then to turn it around and be successful again, like they were in the 80s (why else would people still wear bengals' gear or think the ickey shuffle is one of the best celebration dances ever?).
reporting news is about what the people want to know about. have you noticed the enquirer doesn't write much about the freedom or the kings either? |

| Yeah the reds won in 1990... but i believe he is referring to the reds winning in Oakland instead of at home... |
