I don't even know how this is possible.

The Reds have lost ten consecutive games in Cleveland.

The home team has won the last eleven games in the Ohio Cup*

That's pretty neat, but a little, well, big for a season series, no?

The players don't seem to give a $hit about it. Most fans of either team don't seem to care much either. The Indians have controlled it since 2011 and I've never heard a Reds player talk about returning it to Cincinnati. When the Reds did win it the players didn't celebrate or lift it or anything.

I think the idea was to generate a college football-esque rivalry trophy, but I don't think it's inspired the same sort of passion. Probably because it has Ohio Lottery logos all over it.

The Sox and Cubs have a rivalry trophy. The fact that BP purchased sponsorship a few months before the huge oil spill didn't help things. No players or fans care about the trophy. Other than Sox fans facetiously saying "We brought the cup back home!" after winning the season series again, nobody gives it a second of thought.

I'll be heading to St. Louis to see Cards/Red Sox tonight. Don't worry - I'm wearing an anti-cardinals shirt and Cubs hat just to do my part.

Let´s all hope you don´t get hit with a foul ball, and/or a bat slips out of a player´s hands right as he swings for a 450 foot homer.....that would be terrible................And Go Cards btw :-)

Just deck-on a 'Hawks sweater. Simpler, and you'll invoke more St. Louis envy.
Oh yeah that sounds like fun. Let's wear a hockey sweater to a baseball game in August in St. Louis.

Maybe I should wear a snow suit to the next D Backs game I go to.

As I've surely said before, I like the idea of interleague trophies, but you have to be really serious about not taking them seriously. It has to be obviously light-hearted, like an oversized novelty hat. That someone is taking the BP Crosstown Cup at face value irreparably ruins the whole thing.

♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫

Jesus Jays, dropping three of four against the Houston-freaking-Astros? Can we please just get Lind/Lawrie/Edwin back; I'm sick of fielding a lineup full of fringe players while we're fighting for a playoff spot.

Well it would help you from feeling the ball thrown at you!
