Sean Casey Out Of Retirement???

**Colonels_Wear_Blue** · Jul 17, 12, 01:28 PM

...to play while Votto is out??

**Colonels_Wear_Blue** · Jul 17, 12, 01:29 PM

I saw two guys post this on their Facebook feeds. Allegedly he's taking a physical at 3:45. I'm having a hard time believing it. Anyone else heard anything that sounds remotely reliable about this?

700 started this. I'm pretty sure it's a joke. I didn't listen to any of it so I have no idea.

**Colonels_Wear_Blue** · Jul 17, 12, 01:33 PM

One of the guys said it was reported by 700 WLW as an "official rumor". Can anyone confirm?

I can't imagine it's true...

He may be only be a year older than Rolen, but he hasn't swung a bat in 4 years.

They also said Marty was suspended. Sounds like a typical 700 WLW fake controversy.

I don't know I didn't hear any of it. Just some guy came in after lunch going crazy because Casey was coming out of retirement.

@WLSNRADIO: WLSN just spoke to Reds Hall of Famer Sean Casey who says he "hasn't spoken to the reds" but would welcome the idea.

What's Dan Driessen up to these days? Hal Morris?

Ahhhhhh, good old Slap Morris. One of my favorites.

Tony Perez for that matter.

Man I hope so...I cannot stand to listen to the second most negative team announcer. Of course, Thom is THE most negative!!!

Unless we consider Wayne Krenchicki, I question how serious we are about making an October run.

He tells it like it is. That's why I love Marty.

Might as well give Brad Gulden a call too.

I think he definitely tells it like it is, but I also think sometimes he's a crotchety old man who needs to cheer up and change his Depends.

NKU 23 started this to make Derek Lee seem like a better idea.

**sportsfan41** · Jul 17, 12, 03:28 PM

I used to play first base as well and I already have plans to attend the game tomorrow....... any thing I can do to help my Redlegs. Wish Casey was a realistic option but I just don't think that's the case.
