bottoms up, and the devil laughs

[Dugs @yuggs513]

Very long rant, sorry, again.

The son of the owner, CEO, and president of the Reds stood in front of Reds fans piss drunk on Opening Day 2022 just weeks after selling off the best players on a team that just missed the playoffs and said “Well, where ya gonna go?” In response to a prominent Cincinnati radio host (@MoEgger) asking him why Reds fans should have faith in this ownership group. Seriously, that’s not made up. That happened. On opening day, in front of 100s of thousands of people, live on Cincinnati’s #1 radio station, he said that and felt zero shame. He later appeared on a local news channel after the game (looking absolutely buckled) and doubled down on the quote.

Our president of baseball operations got up in front of everyone and said their goal is to “eliminate PEAKS and valleys.” That’s real! He said that!

What they are doing is intentional. Winning 78-84 games is intentional. So intentional they have mastered how to do it. They have mastered how to hang around in the hunt, never truly in it to be buyers. Never truly out of it to be sellers. Just in it enough to where no national attention or scrutiny will ever come of it.

So this is me begging the national media. A father of 2. Im pleading at 10:40 on a Tuesday. When you talk about the worst front offices and ownership groups in baseball, please please please acknowledge the Cincinnati Reds in the conversation. In fact, please lead with them.

I’m 30 years old (almost), I have 2 kids. I have never seen the Reds advance in the playoffs. I have never seen the Reds win a home playoff game. They have made the playoffs 5 times (im counting game 163 in ‘99 and whatever 2020 was) in my life and have played 12 playoff games. They have been shutout in 5 of them.

This is a bottom 5 organization in all of American sports. Please talk about them in that fashion. I’m begging.

In the 2 min I spent on Wikipedia, I found 2 things of note. 1. His bday is on the anniversary of D-Day (can’t get more American soldier than that) and 2. He cheated on his wife and had a child w/ a Fox exec while he worked there (also can’t get more American soldier than that)

Trump has named Pete Hegseth--TV host, author and veteran--to be his Secretary of Defense.

Confirmation hearings should be interesting.
