As both the Reds and Mets are National League teams I get at least one shot to see my Cincy team live each season.  This year both have similar records (translation: terrible), so it is something of an even match.  I went to the Tuesday night game and was treated to a National Anthem sung by one of my favorites – Marc Kudisch! and a less than marvelous hour and forty minute rain delay.  Still we won the game I attended but lost the series as the other two were taken by the Mets.  Wait till next year.
