"Eight members of the Chicago franchise were banned from baseball for throwing (intentionally losing) games, giving the victory to the Cincinnati Reds."
They gave us a free World Series
We also took the name of the stadium that housed the Big Red Machine, and named it after an energy corp.
"The term Red Scare has been retroactively applied to two distinct periods of strong anti-Communism in United States history: first from 1917 to 1920, and second from the late 1940s through the late 1950s. These periods were characterized by heightened suspicion of Communists and other radicals, and the fear of widespread infiltration of Communists in U.S. government."

The communist comment...........
for people who have to have things explained to them step by step is just pointing out the fact our team name is the Reds, another term for communists, and our country (America) is against them…..perhaps it is the man keeping us down? Judging by what this franchise has put me through, I wouldn`t be surprised if we were actually owned by North Korea.
Different thread, different tip
We have plenty of smart people here, so talking down to us as a group will get you embarrassed quick as shit.
How can such a good looking man be so bad at getting to first base?
Exactly
How quick is shit? I’ve heard that term all my life and never have been able to figure that out.
i would give you an example that would answer your question

The banhammer isn't quick here
At least as far as I’ve seen. A little courtesy goes a LONG way. You can be a contrarian without being pretentious about it.
Oh, and “quick as shit” refers to the morning after a bender, after soda #2. The fit hits the proverbial shan and it feels like your water broke when it happens. That quick. :)

Im at the point now where I dont care what gets said, EXCEPT I would like people to acknowledge the fact I am not a her…..I am a man, and I am confused why all of the sudden Reynard gets so confused with the name of a woman, it isnt Michelle, it is my last name…….and I think I listed more than one way why we “deserve this” not a curse, and not just 1919, but statistically they should have beat us, our only curse is baseball not having a salary cap

I don't know why I bother
but since this is the best thread ever…
Is the contention that because the Reds won the World Series in 1919 that we’re somehow cursed? It seems to me that the team that lost on purpose would get the bad karma. I now understand that “throwing” the games means to intentionally lose, but I’m still trying to get my head around this whole crazy deal.
Did anyone else just watch Nastia and Shawn dominate? USA!
Yes, we've been cursed since then
The curse was evident from 1929-1937, as well as from 1945-1955. The curse poked its head out every once in a while after that just to remind us it was there, but it’s really been laying into us for the last decade. Curses are crafty like that.
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 would like to be the Redreporter's Communist expert
seeing that I have traveled to two Communist country’s, including spending 10 weeks in Havana. Then I can talk down to all of you about Communism. It is a form of government which does not allow individuals to own property, and everything is run by the state. Kinda like the Montreal Expo’s for a while.

I GOT IT!
Dusty Baker is actually from Cuba, and he is the only player from his era that came from Latin America and mastered the English language in only 3 decades! He wants to infriltrate Cincinnati through the Reds organization, and Bobby C. hired him, because he is actually an Italian mob boss that has made all of his money from racketeering, and he wants to change the mind of the U.S. government pertaining to Cuba`s embargo and severed ties so that he can open his string of casino`s back up in Cuba. They started in Cincinnati (because obviously its the most important city in America) and eventually they will change the U.S. government to a state of communism, so it can become a mob controlled nation, like Russia. They chose the Reds because the plan is just so obvious that people brush the connection between Dusty-Bob-The Reds-Cuba-and communism right off their shoulders and think “nobody would be dumb enough to do something that can be sniffed out so easily”. Wow thank God that is over.
Oh I forgot
Bowden is actually trying to stop all of this from happening from his headquarters in Washington by blocking trades, it just SEEMS like he is a salty asshole that is trying to get revenge on the Reds for firing him, but he is really just converting average skilled, communist , ex-Reds into horrible, borderline-club baseball players for the Nationals….but they sure are Patriotic

I hear Cruise is pretty funny..
Ben Stiller and Downey Jr. seem a likely combo for this kind of farce. Was there any fucking new age shit in the movie?
