Doc's Morning Line: Praising athletes for trying is akin to thanking Earth for rotating

Wrong side o’ bed this AM, Mobsters. The pollen’s blowin’ up my head. It’s thick enough to serve on a plate, with a side of mold. Claritin is a wonder drug, but somedays, it’s no match for the chewy stuff floating through my open windows.

The all-timer occurred again Sunday. The Reds radio guys declared, again, the greatness of the Reds effort. The club doesn’t give in to the losing, the guys keep battling.

They try hard.

Big %$&#@-in’ deal.

As stated many, many times in This Space, teams that are praised for trying are teams that lose.
