Hope In Cincinnati

I'm about ready to give up on my two favorite sports franchises. Neither the Cincinnati Bengals nor the Cincinnati Reds have enjoyed much success lately.

What, with the Bengals suffering a decade of losing seasons and the Reds trying to match that record, I admit I was losing faith. But, that's what sports are supposed to be about, right? You stick with your team, even when they, uh, aren't very good.

Well, I know a lot about that.

But today there was some good news out of Cincinnati. The team's going to keep Adam Dunn, one of the only bright spots in the entire Reds' lineup.

Could this be a start of a turn around?

Probably not, but I'm hopeful.
