Ten Reasons to Still Watch the Reds



We at Power Rankings Central have suspended the usual listings to give you "The Top 10 reasons to come out to see the Reds after all the trades." With apologies to David Letterman, here goes:

10. Get to watch hilarious antics of Gapper, the odd mascot.

9. Three words: Fried bologna sandwich.

8. Can turn to the kids and say: "I remember when the Mr. Reds race wasn't animated."

7. It's fun to say Great American Ball - 3-second pause - Park.

6. Formula for making money: Match "Kiss Cam" participants with America's Most Wanted and collect reward.

5. The sound system is better than your car stereo.

4. There's a 1-in-5,000 chance you'll catch a T-shirt shot in the air by the Pepsi Funatics.

3. No longer any confusion about whether the fans are booing or chanting "Booooooooooone."

2. Sneak down to the Diamond Club and say, "Dude, you paid $175 to watch this? Nice investment."

And the No. 1 reason to come out to see the Reds after all the trades: Where else can you get a lukewarm beer in a plastic cup for $5.25?
