I'm not feeling any good vibrations.
Eric Stratton, Rush Chairman. Damn glad to meet ya.
Reds fans don't go after Reds for being annoying.
They go after certain types.
If you are a Reds prospect, you can do almost anything and will be supported. Youth and a Reds organization pedigree -- priceless.
After awhile, if you are a Reds prospect having some problems, you may become the subject of debate. But fans should be careful not to be too tough
If you are a veteran from another organization, acquired by the Reds, you are more likely to be hit hard if you don't do well.
If you are a LIGHT HITTING veteran from another organization, or if you are a SOFT TOSSING pitcher from another organization, watch out.

Reds fans also seem especially annoyed by "cocky, self-promoting" players (Brian Wilson).
Something about a blue-collar fanbase, maybe.

Gritty Cardinal infielders would dominate my roster.
Punto
Miles
Descalso
Theriot
Kozma (so irritating that he actually played OK after a very mediocre minor league career)
And many others of the past decade, expunged from memory
I would not include Molina. The guy has earned my respect.
Either Hairston brother for starters, McCutchen

Humor is so subjective. I personally think he's pretty funny -- I like his non-standard comedic sensibilities. It's refreshing for a ballplayer to have a sense of humor that I can relate to.
I view his act as pretty tongue-in-cheek, like Will Ferrell's man-child persona.

I like Brian Wilson
I hate his shoe black beard
