To those who are up in arms now and also have money invested in the stock market in some fashion.
What do you do during a correction in the market, panic and sell everything?
Big picture guys.
They'll be fine.
I just hate watching Dusty watch the wheels fall off and do nothing. Drives me crazy. It reminds me of that Braves game a few years back, where the dude hit the HR or was it a grand slam over the RF fence as our RFer jumped and couldn't get it. Was that Lance Nix? Anyway. I always get memories of that game when the wheels fall off.
Dusty just can't think outside the box. He locks guys into roles and won't adjust when it's needed. Hence, Broxton not getting enough work.
But they'll be fine. Lots of venting and ranting in this thread. Only because we all care and love our Reds.
I was not trying to make this a super personal matter and hopefully we can just move on, but no, it's not "crap" and I don't know it. You literally made a thread last year on 4/06/12 saying this season would be great...only to say on 4/14/12, in the same thread, that you were wrong and this team was DOA. If that's not a "sky is falling" proclamation, I don't know what is.

“I don’t care,” Votto said of passing his friend and former teammate. “He’s in the past. Bye-bye, Jay.”

5-7 after 12.
Last year they were 4-8.
Let's not freak out yet. Oh wait, too late....
There was bad stuff going on early last season.
The Reds had signed Madson to be the Closer and he had a season ending injury. Masset began his season long stint on the DL. Chapman had to assume the role of Closer eventually, although they tried Marshall first.
It seems like Ludwick and Rolen struggled mightily at the plate early on.
Latos had a terrible April. Cueto was out until May, wasn't he?
...the 2-2 to Woodsen and here it comes...and it is swung on and missed! And Tom Browning has pitched a perfect game! Twenty-seven outs in a row, and he is being mobbed by his teammates, just to the thirdbase side of the mound.
