February 27, 201412 yr He probably had reason to be a jerk, I would too if I could never beat my wife on the golf course. Imagine his cross to bear. :lol2: Good one!
February 27, 201412 yr I was told a long time ago the real reason that Robinson was traded was that he was screwing around with Perez's wife. Then Tony should have traded in his wife!
February 27, 201412 yr Why all the hate for the Gravy Train(Danny Graves)? He had some pretty decent years as a Red didn't he? Was he a jerk?
February 28, 201412 yr He probably had reason to be a jerk, I would too if I could never beat my wife on the golf course. Imagine his cross to bear. Well then, where can you beat your wife?
February 28, 201412 yr Well then, where can you beat your wife? He beats her in the saving money for shampoo department.
February 28, 201412 yr How could I have left out Eric Milton? I met Dave Dombrowski (GM of the Tigers) several years ago and actually tried to trade Milton to the Tigers during our conversation. I told Dave that there was a "well kept secret in Cincinnati by the name of Eric Milton". He responded, "With that contract, he's going to be well kept in Cincinnati for quite some time."
February 28, 201412 yr Several names come to mind, but Nick Esasky - Went to a double header against the Dodgers at old Riverfront many years back with my mom - Dude went to the plate 8 times that day and struck out all 8 times! This was several years before the vertigo problems so can not blame that. Second one would be Rob Dibble. Snuck down the tunnel to get autographs after a game back in 92. Got a lot of the players, and even Pinella to sign the ball. Dibble would not even look at me when I asked for his. Just walked by like we were not even there. My buddy and I both said the same thing as he walked away - and he did not even acknowledge us calling him a butt hole.
March 2, 201412 yr Just to help justify your feelings about Dante Bichette I had some dealings with him outside of him playing with the Reds and he might go down as one of the biggest jerks of all time regardless what he is doing. He was actually quite lucky that day that DM didn't lay him out that day...What an idiot that guy is..
March 5, 201412 yr Joey Votto. Selfish,pompous, and little to no interest in interacting with fans, and parlayed a couple decent seasons into numbers that this town can't afford. Not his fault on the later, but IMO he will be the cause this franchise loses over the next 10 years because of what it does to roster composition. Great case of analytics gone bad. He is a cyber metric all star, but those don't take into account the rest of the team around him.
