Remember what I said about t-shirts? Well here's an idea...

Happy Sunday, y'all.

So I saw Dark Knight last night. Great movie blah blah blah. That's not the point. The point is, after seeing these a few days ago, I decided that the Reds fans need shirts to support our players. Something fun, cheeky, yet good for the whole family. And then I saw Dark Knight. And I was introduced to the white knight, the best of the best, the valiant hero who would protect Gotham. I saw Harvey Dent:

How is this relevant to our situation as Reds fans? Well, who is the one man that we need, as a team? The one man who is saving our offense from absolute shittiness, and is still, somehow, villified by everyone in the media and too many yokels in the seats. Well, that would be none other than #44:

It is, if you can't tell, a work in progress. Delete all the background, add in Dunn's face instead of Eckharts, etc. But it's a start. Or, if not that, then we could just go with these:

on the front of the shirt, with a #44 in the Reds' font on the back.

So let me know what you think. I figure that this is something that we can get behind. At Reds games, show our support. While visiting other stadiums, let folks know that not all Reds fans are represented by John Frickin' Fay. And we can throw this on cafepress and really get it going. As I said, let me know, y'all. Balls in your court. But I know I'm making one for myself. Preferably by the Reds-Nats series.

Now that the images are up

That’s a pretty sweet idea, and I’d probably buy one considering he doesn’t get traded.

My T-shirt will say:

Dunn – YES om the front
Masterbunter – in a circle with a line through it on the back.

Worst Idea Ever:

really?

Seriously, suppose you could.
Would you rather have Boone back?
Or Ray Knight?

Bad as Dusty is, (if you aren’t keen on Narron either) he might not even be in the top 3 worst Reds managers of the last 15 years.

And that’s saying something.

stupid braves

Hey, Dusty’s better than Bobby Cox! Bobby Cox is the worst manager the Braves have had in the last 15 years!

Of course, he’s also the best…. :)

are you really defending Dusty?

do you even have a soul?

by jacob brumfield on Jul 21, 2008 8:52 AM EDT up reply actions

It's a matter of relativity

I don’t like Dusty, I never thought he was the right pick to be manager, but bbjones is right in that we’ve had some REALLY shitty managers over the last few years. Dusty’s not good, but the Reds are better this year with him then they were last year with Narron. Now imagine how good we’d be this year if we had a decent manager.
