Dusty's WAR

[Roy Tucker]

Did we ever figure out Dusty's WAR?

Coming to a theater this summer...DUSTY'S WAR. Starring Danny Glover as Dusty Baker. Jon Hamm as Joseph Votto. Christian Bale as Homey Bailey. And Bronson Arroyo 10 years ago as Mike Leake.

...and Wesley Snipes as Brandon Phillips, Arsenio Hall as Aroldis Chapman, and Kevin Bacon as Ryan Hanigan.

If RZ got rid if every type of personality some of you want to throw out, this would be the most boring message board on the internet. I'm all for just letting people be themselves.

Who said anything about throwing people out? I did not.

I am sorry New York Red, but the defensive claim of "banning" or "censorship" does not apply here.

Using a simple, and I believe an apt analogy... If you are called out for constantly talking during the movie at a theater, why not just adjust? Is this really a time for an "I gotta be me" declaration?

Are you saying that using negative hyperbole about the Reds on a Reds message board is so ingrained in you that you cannot adjust? I certainly hope not.

All of us, myself more than most, have committed social faux pas... The sign of maturity is how you react.

I am not, in any way, claiming to be holier than thou... I have thought many of the same negative hyperbole about the teams I root for... But experience has taught me that voicing those knee jerk reactions to the crowd is being just that... a Jerk. I have been that Jerk and not realized it until someone had the guts to point it out to me.

you say silly, i say track record.

The man has won over 20 games in the postseason and three separate series, including an NLCS.

I urge you to go through baseball's history and see how many managers can claim that. You'll find it's not a ton.

Regardless, it's still silly. There's no logic as to a manager being any more or less capable of managing in the postseason. It's the same game. Same strategy. Same goal. Same rules.
