Since OOTPXX, I've usually been playing as the Reds. I'm not so sure about this now in 23 because I'm angry at ownership.

Had to laugh at a headline I saw this morning, that said Cincinnati FC in the MLS(I call it the Mickey Mouse League), has more wins than the Reds. Played a nice game last night, losing 18-4 to the Brewers. I grew up in the 60's and it's sad for me to see once fine organizations like the Reds, Orioles, and Pirates fielding nothing more than AAA squads.
The issue that irked me about the latest CBA, is that the union should have followed in the tracks of the NHL and had a minimum salary spend for all teams. That would force the bottom feeders of the league to actually spend some money, and at least put a semi-competitive team on the field for their fans to watch. Instead, the knuckleheads were only worried about the top half of the league teams being able to spend more before the luxury tax kicked in.
