Well, my Cincinnati Reds finished the 2007 campaign nearly 20 games under .500.

Ken Griffey Jr. and Adam Dunn both were not playing at the end of the year.

Bronson Arroyo did not pitch like he did last year.

All I can say is, thank God the season is over.

The Reds have not played well for nearly 20 years.

I've been a Cincinnati fan for as long as I can remember, but it's getting more and more difficult to root for a team that just doesn't add up with other squads in the National League.

Football season, by the way, is only four games in, with 12 more to go. And my Minnesota Vikings just lost their third game of the year. They're 1-3 now.

It could be a very long season for this sports fan.

The National Basketball Association will be going full-steam here in about one month as well. I'm not impressed by the way with the Pacers, my other favorite team.

Things don't look good.
