If the Olympic Games were to come to Ohio for 2020, which would be most likely as a host city?
a) Cincinnati
b) Columbus
c) Cleveland

		<description><![CDATA[The great pile of dirt could be affecting the Reds&#8217; performance.  Local legend says that the Reds will win the pennant when they have a space adjacent to the Ballpark worthy of the massive celebration that would bring.
