Lot of frustration. You watch this team, and it's hard to reconcile the talent level with the sub-.500 record.
Do they like that dull-shitted wit?
I haven't seen a gesture like that to the press box since Juan Gonzalez was mad at the Texas score keeper.
I will refrain from my comment as my opinion of the general Cincy fanbase is less than flattering.
Go ahead Harveys, I can take it, and probably chime in. And to think, I was pulling a bit for the Brewers as the Reds are out of it. Pshaw.
And yes, I realize that the Reds are frustrating. And I don't think the announcers should whitewash it, either. There's a difference between telling it like it is and going after guys, however, and the Reds broadcast team is far too often engaging in the latter.
I will only comment that even with the change in ownership it appears that the marketing team is working to appeal to the lowest common denominator of fan. Fans who need heroes, bums and a simple story line.
Over the past few seasons I have witnessed the broadcasters go after Austin Kearns, Adam Dunn [repeatedly], Encarnacion, Lopez and Dave Ross. I only watch 4 or 5 Reds broadcasts a season. Now they're bad-mouthing Griffey too?
Gee, if only they had a roster full of Sean Caseys.
I think it's like Fox News. Marty determines the story line and then everyone pounds that theme whatever the facts may show.
Hence the infamous "Edwin stinks in the clutch" by Brantley followed by a game-winning homer.......
