This place is nothing compared to a certain Red Sox board. Not only do they overreact twice as bad as this place, they're a zillion times more superstitious. During their losing streak to start the season last year, they were unbanning everyone from the forums they previously banned and forcing them to start game threads, posting crazy pictures and other insanity trying to break the "curse". An absolute meltdown.

It was fun to watch.

I wasn't trashing Dusty. He legitimately looked confused. I thought it was funny.

I will say I have seen enough of Dusty's moments over the years to draw a negative conclusion.

There is often a reason teams cut players loose.

Alfredo Simon faces two batters...a triple and a two run homer. 8-2 Marlins.

Re: Reds vs. Marlins Saturday 4/7

At least were using a scrub pitcher and not wasting a good pitcher because no way this offense is coming back and winning

Re: Reds vs. Marlins Saturday 4/7

We haven't really fooled many hitters tonight. Pitchers are either tipping pitches or extremely predictable, I'd go more with the latter.

But this isn't the place.

No, I was just saying that what I have seen from Dusty has not been good. I am ready to move on.
