If there were a Redszone Hall of Fame, responses to the "do you want to be humiliated?" line could trigger dozens of entries all by itself. Gold, Jerry. Gold.

RedsZone.com: Do You Want To Be Humiliated?
The site tagline has been long overdue for an update.

That's so many kinds of awesome...we don't even know how awesome it is yet.

I've been a Red's and Brown's fan for almost 50 years now. So yeah, I'm old. I'm also waaaay past the stage of humiliation, and have moved into my comatose phase.
I remember the days when OB% didn't translate into big money contracts. Organizations got wiser. They get it now (other then the Reds), and those days are long gone.

Who SHOULD he have done it with? Just curious.
IMO, Homer was the PERFECT target. Latos & Cueto were both coming off injuries. Homer had just finished his 2013 season where we saw him improve in every season for .....
6 straight years in WHIP
3 straight years in FIP
3 straight years in HR/9
3 straight years in K/9
7 straight years in SO/K ratio
6 straight years in K's
4 straight years in IP
6 straight years in ERA
I certainly haven't seen anybody else doing that. He was the perfect target. Unfortunately, the injury bug hit him too.
