Good analysis

I’m more a hello man and a welcome man than a good-bye man. And to me Adam Dunn was more a person than a player.

I agree.

I think we overmeet as a society.

Two of your players aren't even on the team

Also, since you don’t specify a year, I’m gonna assume you’re talking about 2000-never.

This is your fantasy team ?

You can tell your uncle stuff that you could not tell your dad. That is kind of the role of an uncle. I feel very much like a father sometimes but sometimes I feel like a teammate.

Masset

is not in your grand plan?

i love that mesoraco is the starting catcher

but frazier has apparently been on the team for such a short amount of time that he hasnt yet earned a starting role. over keppinger.

What do you mean, "blank slate"?

Get a clue

Not going to happen, our market is too small, our fans are too fairweather, and our owner is too small town. It looks like we try, but in reality the Reds are only a slight step ahead of the Pirates as an organization. A joke of a franchise, with a stadium that has a boat in center field instead of getting a good showing of the river, and just enough ’attempt" at having a respectable team to trick enough fans into staying around so we dont become the Las Vegas Reds.

Vegas?

I don’t believe the oldest professional team will ever move, but if it did it sure as hell wouldn’t be to Las Vegas. A league that still refuses to reinstate Pete Rose would never allow that.

weak

there is a lil bit of power in that lineup, but that’s about it

by bobestes on Aug 14, 2008 4:51 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

Well

thanks for correcting the sarcasm…and I said just enough effort to NOT send us to Las Vegas, meaning we stay in Cincinnati, for the simple fact that torturing Reds fans is the only fad from the 90`s that has succeeded into the new millenium

by Reynard on Aug 14, 2008 6:22 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

I understood the sarcasm

but thought that the example was faulty.

by ctnyc on Aug 14, 2008 7:47 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

Oh yeah I forgot one addition

C.C. Sabathia

Brent Jonathan Beck

by Brent Beck on Aug 14, 2008 6:25 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

yeah

Were totally going to get him, we just took Griffey and Dunn off the books and the rumors are already pointing to us being a major player taking a run at C.C… Im not joking, I honestly think we will have Sabathia on the Reds next year.

Brent Jonathan Beck

by Brent Beck on Aug 14, 2008 6:28 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

Nope

C.C. plays for the Yankees next year

If you want your posts to be properly understood

It would behoove you to use the reply button.

Oh, and I think you’re right on this one. The Evil Empire will break the bank for CC.

How can such a good looking man be so bad at getting to first base?

Coming soon:

A midget transvestite will emerge from Brent Beck’s ass while singing Crystal Gayle’s classic hit “Don’t it Make Your Brown Eye Blue.”

Overserved and underwhelmed.

Um...

Keppinger at SS?

I love Kepp as much as anyone, but he’s not a starting SS.

Cordero isn’t an ideal closer. The guy blows to many games, plus i believe his career save rate is around 55-65%.

by jason12 on Aug 20, 2008 6:02 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

79%
