The Reds are just an embarrassment. I know there’s a lot of reds fans here, but I don’t call them the Louisville Reds for nothing. Since I’ve been alive, they’ve been nothing but classless. They’ve got the most on field fights since 2,000. They constantly take unlikable players like Puig or Brandon Phillips and make excuses for their behavior. They never win, but try and turn everything into a **** talking mess or a fight. The entire organization should move. Nothing good comes from it.

Sometimes, you're so full of garbage you can smell it through the keyboard. Do yourself a favor and get a hobby that involves you being alone for very long stretches of time.

No I’m 33.

I don’t care if they’ve played since Mobey’s Dick, they should disband. All I care about when the Cards play the Reds is everyone making it out alive so we can move on and play baseball while the Louisville Reds lose and play for next season.

Ahhh, there's the problem, you don't know much about the Reds then. When the Cardinals couldn't beat a high school team in the 70's the Reds owned that decade. Were pretty good from mid 80's to mid 90's and have had a few years now and then.
Maybe go back further than 10 years ago for your baseball history millennial boy.

You're the one who sounds like a UofL fan. Lots of mouth and nothing else.

There’s only 3 decades the Cardinals didn’t win a World Series since the 20’s.

That’s pretty impressive Cawood!!

Baseball has a long history. The fortunes of a given team ebbs and flows. Baseball begins with the 1869 Red Stockings - a distinction no other franchise will ever have: The birthplace of the professional sport.

The first professional league was the National League in 1876. And in that long history of the National League one team was the greatest: The 1975-1976 Big Red Machine. No serious baseball scholar even challenges them as the best National League team ever assembled-- the last National League team to repeat as champions.

Every team has its heroes and villains. The Reds "villain" I suppose is Pete Rose -- the greatest hits producer in the game's history. Betting on his team to win games AND AGAINST THE REDS was wrong, and has kept him out of the Hall of Fame.

But I'd rather have a tough local kid who topped all other players in history in doing a singular thing -- base hits -- as my villain than a steroid-addled crybaby who disgraced the game, then boo-hoo-hooed on National Television. Yeah, Mark McGwire is a pretty sorry guy to have worn a team's uniform.

My grandfather was a young guy just home from France when he attended the 1919 World Series. He was a scholarship baseball player and had gotten a hit off Grover Cleveland Alexander in an Army All Star vs. Barnstorming Big League team, so he knew the game. He talked about Shoeless Joe's swing til the day he died -- but always added that the 1919 Reds were a great team and the scandal merely cheated them out of proving it. A close examination proves him right.

My father and I sat through many games in Crosley Field, then eventually got to glory in the Greatest National League team ever between 1970 and 1976. My son and I will have our day as well. Baseball requires and rewards patience.

I've been a baseball fan as long as most anyone on this board, I'd guess, and have a legacy as part of a baseball family stretching back into the 19th Century. Anyone who acts like being a Reds fan isn't a proud distinction is full of ****.

Not trying to derail this thread, but there, I fixed it for you. LOL
