Love it when he talks about himself in the 3rd person, Steve. :-)

There is nothing more infuriating then listening to Joe Joe talk... "Well... when I played, this is how it was done".... "Joe Morgan wouldn't have let that ball through"... "Joe Morgan would have ridden that bomb a la Slim Pickens because thats the kind of team player Joe Morgan was."

And for the youngsters....

I would almost like to hear his radio show to hear him talk about how what he did in baseball would translate to other sports, in the third person of course. :-)

"When Joe Morgan was playing the Cubs in '74, I would have played a pop-up with the sun in my eyes just like DeSean should have fielded that punt."

"When Joe had a sore ankle, he rubbed dirt on it and didn't miss a ground ball, players these days could take a page from old Joe's book. " :-)


Whom ever came up with the idea of allowing him to not only talk about baseball, but all sports must have been losing their job anyway. I am sure his discussion on the US Open or Ryder Cup will be just riveting. :-)

He also works with the Reds too, in some sort of PR position (or at least he did at the beginning of the season).

Happens ALL the time, but you're not supposed to get caught. When you do, you or someone on the team pays the price.:-)


BTW, there are a couple of recent studies that have come out saying that corked bats don't really help at all. When that study came out, I bet Albert Bell shed a tear or two.:-)

Homer put one high and tight on Victorino. :-)

Last I had heard, Sports Science or someone concluded that it gives you about a 2-3% improvement on distance, about 10-12 feet on a homerun. But you still have to hit the baseball. :-)

Halladay owns the Reds. That was just plain dominating (again). :-)

reds suck...

I can't wait to see our call-ups. I am excited to see Devin Mesorraco. Although I have heard that he is pretty fatigued at this point because he has played 100+ games so far.

Another over-hyped prospect on his way to the majors, lets see if he can be better than Stubbs and Janish. :-)
[Reply]

Insert "Cliff Lee"....Watching the series and what shocks me is all the EMPTY seats!....Nice new ballpark, good team, and playing the best team in the majors, why no support?...
[Reply]

Because the Reds aren't winning.

I will be at the game this afternoon with the boss and his son. Watching the Reds > working :-)
[Reply]

Because most of Cincinnati (read: Homers) only care about the team if they are winning. :-)
[Reply]

Really?..its baseball....I say get out and enjoy the experience!...btw, the Reds are only a couple games south of .500 right?...Not like they're the Mets!....



And enjoy the game Dan!!

If only it were that easy in Cincinnati. There are so many teams for people to claim are their favorites in this area. Everyone is a UC/XU/Ohio/Bengals/Louisville/UK/Reds fan when they are winning, if said team is not winning, they can move to a different team. Fans here, in general, are fickle and don't know/care much about sports other than if you are winning. :-)
[Reply]

Opposite here...we'll still come out to the game if they're losing...just to boo!!
[Reply]

I blame it squarely on the likes of one Mike Brown... when he openly admitted he makes just as much money when he loses than when he wins, fans just had enough... however, there is a certain homerism to be had... but I think its that way with all cities where there aren't the diehards who had it bred into them that they live with the team and die with the team...

However, I do agree, its a great time to get out to the game and watch... people don't realize what theyre missing until its gone.
