[CrackerJack]

That was a great camera shot of Jr gazing and the pitcher clenching fists without even bothering to look where the ball went

[VR]

Griffey is good.
That is all.

Now Dunn is hit, and he gives Owings the eye....I wouldn't want to be give the eye by that large species....

The hit parade continues after Dunn is hit by the pitch Hatteberg singles.

A good brawl would be a great ignitor for the pennant run

[Always Red]

He said yesterday he likes Adam Dunn...he said he's a good kid, a nice kid.... I just don't think he likes the way he plays the game....Marty's old school. Home Runs are great, but he would prefer Dunn have the other tools...ESPECIALLY defense.

His comments aren't meant to be personal to Dunn the guy, just how he feels about the baseball player.

Dunn Hater fans are more personal than Marty - and sometimes on the air as callers

I heard what Marty had to say yesterday about Dunn in the first inning, and I turned the radio off. Here's what I wrote about it this morning: http://www.redszone.com/forums/showp...&postcount=124

Now, I have always like Marty, I really do, Matt. I've listened to him since I was 12 years old, and on my deathbed someday, I hope to hear the faint sounds again of him and Joe calling a game on a hot, still summer night. That's how deeply ingrained it is for me.

But what he's been saying the last year or so about Dunn borders on the personal. I'm not sure what Dunn did to piss him off (banana phone last year?) but last night's comments were ridiculous.

Fired? No, I don't think Marty should be or ever will be fired. But it was very unprofessional of him. Thom was defending Dunn, and Marty was attacking. I turned it off because the stuff Marty was saying was simply untrue. Apparently I missed when he said Adam was a good kid, at the end. So for you to say that Marty was calling him a good kid- well yeah, apparently he did that, but you left out all of the other stuff he said prior to that.

Plus it'd be fun

[Red in Chicago]

The dude just tied Frank Robinson and Cincy fans don't applaud long enough for a curtain call?

Opinions are opinions...some people don't like a radio broadcaster for a club to voice them....I don't mind it. Never have, never will

To me, being critical of Dunn the baseball player isn't personal.

That's what this team needs right now; when was the last Reds brawl? I can't remember the last time I've seen this team show that much emotion.
