Not too shabby

Right? I had hair the last time the Reds won one...

Johnny gets 6 years, 130 million from Giants.  That's a relatively low number, right?  At least for a pitcher of his caliber.

Homer Bailey thinks that sounds a little low.

Just traded Frazier and sounds like we didn't get much back.

If we didn't get a boatload back then this trade is as dumb as Frank Robinson and Tony Perez. 

We ended up with

2B Jose Peraza
INF Brandon Dixon
OF Scott Schebler

Any of those guys even close to being the prospect Todd was?

Peraza was a guy that was in the deal with Chap I believe. They really wanted him. Supposedly a big time speedster with poor OBP (whose that sound like!!!). Everything I've seen so far say Dodgers got a better haul than us. L oh fucking L. Going to be padding the bottom for awhile. He was literally the only guy at this point that could command a really nice haul.

The reds are gonna suck so bad not even Pete Rose will bet on them.

Yeah, fuck baseball.

Yeah, fuck baseball.

I haven't watched a game not involving the reds for 2 or 3 years now, but still watched the reds pretty steady until halfway through last year when I didn't recognize anybody. And it's not looking like there will be any reason to watch them next year.

Even regardless of their success, I am giving less and less of a shit about them. And somehow they are the superior franchise in Cincinnati. There are no reds fans calling for Castellini's head, but wait a month and  the villagers will be screaming for Mike's.

Good lord, have y'all considered putting a AAA team on the field instead, because that is what is about left at this point.

Not much left, it's true. We've got an injured Mesoraco, Votto aka Buzz Killington, Bruce who is pretty good defensively but whose primary contribution is having a name that carries well if you feel like yelling something, & Hamilton who is possibly the fastest in the league which comes in real handy when walking back to the dugout after striking out again.

There went the last of the air from my balloon. 

Goddamit. Thank you Brandon for being one of the most enjoyable 2B I've ever had the pleasure of watching. He made the highlight plays look routine.

 

 

I do think it's the right move to get out from his contract and to let him go play for a ring. He was just so fun to watch though.

I really hope opening day doesn't sell out this year. I was a big fan of selling it all this year, but it really sucks. The team is going to be absolutely miserable. 

So Cincinnati won't be fielding a Major League team this year. Got it.

This could be on par with the misery that was 1982...

If Castellini's son is really taking over as GM this is the kind of misery that could go on for awhile.  Not being Carl Lindner isn't good enough anymore.

Hey, we've still got Joey Votto and Homer Bailey and their $300M dollars worth of contracts!!
