Concession Speech: 2012 Cincinnati Reds (Big League Stew)

With the regular season over, teams are facing an offseason filled with golf rounds and hot-stove strategy.
But we're not going to let them get off that easy. No sir. No way. In an attempt to bring some closure between franchise and follower, we're giving a blogger from each team the opportunity to give a concession speech for this year's squad. Up next is our friend Mo Egger of ESPN 1530 in Cincinnati. He wrote the 10 best things about being a Reds fan for us earlier this year.
My fellow Reds fan: This is not the speech I thought I'd be giving and this is certainly not when I thought I'd be giving it. Like you, I'm heartbroken, filled with disappointment, and still a little hungover . If only the Reds hammered back booze the way I did in the aftermath of the NLDS meltdown, perhaps they would've washed away whatever it was they were choking on.
Let me first say congratulations to the San Francisco Giants. I know, I know, those words are as hard for you to hear as it was for me to say, but they were worthy opponents, deserving victors, and who among isn't a little excited that we could be spending the rest of the month seeing random crowd shots featuring grown men wearing wool panda hats?Celine Dion Kobe Bryant Michael Jordan Johnny Depp Jerry Seinfeld Simon Cowell Michael Schumacher Tom Hanks Rush Limbaugh Denzel Washington
