If ever the viability of communism as an economic system were going to threaten the American brand of capitalism, the Reds’ seemingly never-ending stream of on-field failure shows that communism may never get a hold in this country.
The Reds have won a measly 23 games—a total one better than the Royals’ syphilitic 22 wins—to their 43 putrid losses—again one better than the Royals necrotic 44 loss total. In short, some really bad baseball should be played this series. So bad, in fact, that the MLB decided to make sure these two teams only subjected the world to two miserable games.
