Reds have a winning record despite scoring few runs overall than their opponents. The young team needs to grow up quick and figure out how to hit. They don't have a real number four hitter, but I don't know how you get a power with trading away the strength of team - pitching.

In about a week the Bengals will be ruining the football careers of another fresh crop of players. Poor guys will come in all smiles and full of vim and vinegar. Then they will leave discouraged and bitter after being dashed against the rocks of futility that line Paul Brown Stadium. Is it any wonder the Bengals bring out the worst in a player. Carl Pickens, Corey Dillon, and now Chad Johnson.

Seriously the team needs to draft offensive linemen high in the draft. Palmer will get reamed next fall without a halfway decent line.
