Wasn't it Marge who refused to pay for Eric Davis' airplane ticket back from Oakland after the World Series after he was laid up for a lacerated kidney after making a diving catch?
Not exactly a generous and thoughtful act.

I look at the whole ST move to Arizona as a sign of the Reds' lack of a brand name. Is there any doubt that the Reds would have stayed in Florida if they could have found a good deal there? Is there any doubt the majority of Reds fans would have preferred the team do its spring training in Florida instead of Arizona? Of course not.
Yet what municipality wants to spend beaucoup bucks on a facility for the Reds? The answer is Goodyear, AZ, which I'm sure is a perfectly fine, sleepy little town, but it's only getting ST tenants because it's throwing money at them.
The Reds took what they could get because that's what the franchise has become: an enterprise that has to take what it can get.

Wear gaudy colors, or avoid display. Lay a million eggs or give birth to one. The fittest shall survive, yet the unfit may live. Be like your ancestors or be different. We must repeat!
Would you change your answer today based on the BCast's comments?
Here's what I said two days ago: Castellini may be turning into a poor man's Lindner himself.
Replace that now with Castellini is a poor man's Lindner.
The only positive that I can say about Castellini is he's a lesser of the evils when compared to Schott and Lindner. Unfortunately, considering how low those two are, that's not a whole lot of endorsement for Bob.
The Lost Decade Average Season: 74-88
2014-22 Average Season: 71-91
Castellini's pretty obviously cut from the same cloth as the other small-minded owners of this franchise.
