BP Tidbit on Reds, Griffey, and Cubs

[Sammy Sofa]

I was at the Cincinnati airport after the game, taking a dump in the bathroom. All of a sudden, this big burly guy pokes his head in the stall, and wouldn't ya know, its Adam Dunn. He says, "You a Cubs fan?" I tell him that I am, and he says, "Watch the news tonight, kid. Looks like the northside is getting a new LF'er." And then he winks at me.

 

I don't care if you guys believe me, but we did trade for Dunn. It might be a few days before he can start for us though because I did file charges.

 

Are you taking a dump in the airport with the door unlocked or open? How the hell does he take a peak in, and why would he do that. Does he not see your feet?

 

Adam Dunn goes wherever the hell he wants, when he wants. It's his world, and we just cower in it.

Wow, that Adam Dunn and Ken Griffey just KILLED the Cubs this weekend, I'd be in a big rush to throw three good prospects Cincy's way for either one of those studs! :roll:

 

Can we get a moratorium on any and all talk relating to these two ballplayers once August 1st arrives? Please??

Are you serious?

 

They didn't do all that well in the latest series against the Cubs, therefore they're no good and not worth trading for?

 

Wow.

Are we really going to decide we don't want two .900+ OPS players because they struggled in 3 games against us?

Nah, you can still make waiver trades after the deadline. :D

This post doesn't really even deserve a response. What a joke.

Umm, hello? He's tall, he can peak OVER the door. Get with it, dude.

 

Did they arrest him before or after he took a dump? :lol:

[witty alias]

Wouldn't it be kind of weird for the announcers to be speculating on something like that?

 

"Jesus, Tom! I was only speculatin' on a hypothesis!"

Will you be able to go on living next week when the Great Adam Dunn isn't a Cub? Goodness, the Cubs have no chance without him!

 

The whole Adam Dunn circle jerk--THAT is the dumbest thing I've ever read on this site. It's moronic, it's imbecilic, and it's beyond boring.

Yeah, I think I'll be ok. I'm not an Adam Dunn fan boy by any stretch of the imagination, but I am intelligent enough to notice that an OF of Soriano-Jones-Dunn is light years better than having Floyd in that OF. If you think this team doesn't get better with Dunn or Griffey out there, then you need to get your head checked.

[rickrolled]

why do you have problems with people who want Adam Dunn on the Cubs?

[brinoch]

This thread has the potential to roll downhill fast. Remember, attack the post, not the poster. Debate all you like, folks, but you will keep it civil or there will be consequences. Got it?

 

There will be no further warnings.

Not quite as bad as suggesting their bad performances this weekend should cool any trade talks.

don_kessinger is Paul Popovich on Desipio, correct?

On the topic of Griffey, I thought this little tidbit was interesting:

 

 

Piniella's relationship with Griffey, whom he managed in Seattle from 1993-99, is one reason Griffey's name always is popping up in trade rumors to the Cubs.

 

Asked if he would like to play for Piniella again, Griffey smiled and said: "I can't really say anything right now."

 

Kind of interesting that he wouldn't even comment on that. I dunno, maybe a sign something is in the works...

yea, that was posted earlier in this thread

 

2 days to end the speculation...

[Bruno7481]

I like Adam Dunn as a person, been lucky enough to spend some time around him. At the same time I don't think he is worth what the Reds would command, especially trading him to the Cubs. He has some serious flaws. I know the OBP and Power are great, and yes he'd be an upgrade to Floyd. I'm not arguing any of those facts. But from everything that has been put out there about his asking price in the eyes of Krivsky. I just don't think he's worth what it would take.

 

Also, the Reds have nothing to play for. 85% of the people that come out to that park on a daily basis are there to see Griffey's quest for 600. I don't think he's going anywhere.

ahh, looking back in the thread, I see it now.

 

Wow, hadn't even heard about that ESPN 1000 report...makes me more confident that we may get Griffey.

LOL @ you thinking I'm a Dunn fanboy.

 

Right.

 

I was actually calling the fact that you'd base your decision on whether or not the Cubs should get one of them (I'd prefer Griffey, FWIW), on what they did this weekend a joke. The mere suggestion that anyone should no longer discuss or consider (or hope for) the possibility of one of them coming to the Cubs based on what they did in this series is completely and utterly laughable.

 

Thanks for playing.

Why fight about who we want more? Why not just get both. Play Dunn in RF and Griffey in CF. Sure our outfield defense would be absolutely horrible, and we'd have to gut our farm system to get them both, but boy it would be worth it. :D
