Because the Reds haven't had a winning season since 2000. I'd think
that's pretty obvious.

Wait until the end of the year before you continue bleating
about how great Votto is, compared to Pujols!
As for Molina, Hernandez/Hannigan can out-hit him by 40
points, and Molina will still be able to make the case he is at least their
equal per his shutting down the opponents running game, and picking-off
runners!

Pujols and Molina are untouchable in MLB for their great
skills, offensively and defensively, respectively.
And Molina can hit a little bit, too (below his average so far
in 2010) and is a tough out, and one of the hardest to strike out. Don't
even mention Pujols has won 1 GG already, and may win his 2nd this year.
Even if he doesn't win, he is still one of the best fielders at his
position. Need I mention he also has STOLEN 11 bases against only 3 CS, and
is a great baserunner? Compare him on that to Votto (8 SB, 4 CS) and the
scale tips toward Pujols.

First, you have to win the DIVISION (unless you want to be the WC)
before you can win the pennant!

Good point. In fact, it was so good that I will writ part of my post
with CAPITAL LETTERS.

Yeah, but you notice it's only a few trolls who've showed up here. Which I
suppose is the way of things...but I'm not feeding 'em.
