6/11/2014 Reds vs Trolley-Dodgers

[VR]

Good start for Cueto

[Big Klu]

Military Appreciation night.

I guess the Dodgers don't appreciate the military.

Commies....

[Mutaman]

But I can play the same catcher every game on the PS4!

Same thing with APBA.

If they truly wanted to "appreciate" the military they'd donate the night's gate to the Wounded Warrior Project or, perhaps, some other organization that contributes to providing employment retraining or mental health treatment for returning veterans. But that would be hard. Much easier to just wear camo and put a big USA sign on the nearest highway overpass. Stuff like this is a joke. It's a cynical attempt to sell merchandise under the auspices of patriotism.

So the fact that discount tickets are available for military members and the fact that the franchise player started his own foundation to help soldiers returning with PTSD are just cynical attempts to sell merchandise? Got it, the Reds are bad at everything they ever attempt to do.

RT @MannyRsports: #Dodgers SS Hanley Ramirez a late scratch from lineup due to right AC joint irritation. Figgins at 3B, Rojas at SS

America and our soldiers will be incredibly proud to see us wear such ugly uniforms.

We shouldn't half-ass it. Camo pants, undershirts, helmets, and catching gear should also be worn.

[Big Klu]

This is going to be an every Wednesday occurance?!

The hats and jerseys are a joke, and are cynical attempts to sell merchandise. By MLB. Not just the Reds. Paul Lukas at Uni-Watch did a study on how much money actually was donated from the sale of the "stars and stripes" hats and it was an absolute joke.

Votto's foundation has nothing to do with the team. That's his philanthropy and is PRECISELY the kind of charity I'm talking about as a non-cynical, honest, reasonable attempt to help. And by a Canadian, no less.

why can´t they do all of those things (if they want to) without wearing ugly jerseys? I don´t like patriotism => I don´t like those "events"

Kemp thrown out arguing after strikeout.

Interesting decision by FSOH to leave the cameras and audio on Kemp while he hurled F bombs at the ump...

I just look at it as a way of raising awareness. The military is being talked about in the broadcast and on Twitter in a way that I doubt it would be without the team making the statement it is with the jerseys. I can't imagine this is to make money. There can't be that many people that would buy that stuff.

No Kemp, no Ramirez.....must capitalize.

Should be no Puig if the ump did his job.
