Ludwick: I'm calling fans out

[kaldaniels]

He has a hole in his bat; I don't feel its the time of year to bring your fan base into it; on a day when we set an attendance record. That doesn't have a good look to it.

Man up, go out and beat someone. You just got shut out by Dice-K Matsuzaka and a bunch of guys who had nothing to play for. "Great teams" (Ludwick's words) don't do that.

Actually they are not. He was quoting someone.

Why do bad things happen to good teams? Because it is baseball.

Something like 15 games not on weekends since 1938 they have had 30k plus

That's weak

That's not a baseball town

He was insinuating that they're a great team.

Where's the playing for pride? You need fans to get you up for games like today and yesterday and this time of year something is sorely lacking. Just my opinion.

I have never been in Cincinnati during a playoff stretch, no I admit, I can't compare.

But I was in STL for a week during the playoffs (which the Cards were in) and it was amazing.

It isn't a baseball town. It's a football town with the aberration of the 70s. Get over it and win a world title. Players should be seen, paid, and not heard.

[bob jones]

do you know he left ten men on base in one game on mOnday, that is not easy

I'm sorry, why do we want to be more like Pittsburgh Pirate Fans?

He said they were a "good team". You made an extra effort to attribute "great team" to him. Needed a correction, no rebuttal necessary.

I believe you said the Mets had nothing to play for. Yet you talk about playing for pride for the Reds. It is a two way street.

The Phillies won a championship with the worst fans on earth bar none.

Cincinnati? Thaaaaaat sounds off to me, I really wanna see that list before I believe that.

Either way, I don't believe Cincinnati isn't a baseball town, attendance numbers aside. The city supports the team.

Santa Claus agrees with you.

[Larry Schuler]

HOW. DARE. HE.

I devote countless HOURS to criticizing, insulting, and being an overall pessimist toward this club and he has the NERVE to question my fandom???

Yeah that has to be wrong. Opening Day anyone?

Eradi wrote an article about it last week

[PuffyPig]

Because it came after a 1-0 bedwetting against the Mets. Worry about your production on the field before you worry about the production around it.

Ludwick didn't play today.
