  1. I'm going to need a dustdictionary.com or something.
  2. Right. It's just like fishing. You're going striped bass fishing. You've got birds on top and you follow the birds. Where the birds are, the bait fish are below that. Below the bait fish are the striped bass. That's what you want to do. That's how you want to do your lineup. That way they can't escape. That's how I try to make my lineup out so the opposition can't pitch around this guy or that guy and that guy and can't escape. You try to get them in the crossfire. lol, wut? Dusty quote. haha i don't even know what that means. it made my head hurt, though.
  3. Right. Its true Okay. Okay Alright then.

  5. When you actually get something to back up any of the crap you are spewing out of your mouth, I'll be ready to listen to you. If you don't appreciate us bashing Dusty, or if you don't believe what we're saying, go to a reds board. We're not forcing you to read our posts. We are all still pissed at dusty and are not going to give evidence every time we bash him. Everyone else on the board acknowledges Baker's veteran fetish and disregard for the significance of obp and walks, so we don't feel the need to include evidence of Baker's shortcomings as a manager in our every post. Thanks, I know I don't have to read them.

  7. omg Yeah dude, we wouldn't give them up for Bedard or Haren so it's obvious we would do it for Blanton. They wanted Bruce for Bedard. Beane is willing to deal for only Cuetto. Cuetto is only a pony, dude. Blanton is a horse. Can't win without the horses, dude. I must have missed where Dusty was the GM. Dusty has always influenced player acquisitions. My guess is he has the ear in Cincy as well. Dusty is going to want some horses and has little use for the kids unless they help him get one of the horses. And nothing has shown this to be true. The Reds actually traded Josh Hamilton for another "kid" pitcher.
  8. Nope. If somebody is going to start in CF other then Bruce it will be Hopper. Dusty will want to use Freel in the super sub role. I think Bruce will start in CF, though. "Book it."

All they need is the horses head, because they already have the horses ass leading the team. lol ok that was kinda funny.

"Dude" and "Gotta have the horses" are straight from Baker's mouth. I just browsed Cincinnati's 40 man roster, Juan Castro looks an awful lot like Jose Macias. Thanks to Dusty, he's going to get lots of playing time. Dude is versatile! No I'm not. I live in the Chicagoland area. I am well aware of the comments he has made. Juan Castro has been annoying for a few years now, long before Dusty came. Freel is more like Macias, IMO.
  12. OH MY GOD. SHUT UP. It's not funny at all. Jesus Chrst I know everything Dusty did, I know all the quotes, I know what to expect, and on and on and on and on. You just keep posting the same stupid ass [expletive] over and over and over again.
  13. http://www.baseballprospectus.com/unfiltered/?p=605 Yes....what about that is something everyone didn't already know?
  14. Did the Cubs have 4 top 50 prospects when Dusty was there? Or did he just not play Ronny Cedeno?
  15. omg Yeah dude, we wouldn't give them up for Bedard or Haren so it's obvious we would do it for Blanton.
  16. Keep hoping. Votto for Blanton? Sure. Anything more? No way Votto and Bailey or Cueto? Yeah right. My personal guess would be Votto, Stubbs, and an as yet unnamed pitching prospect in the lower minors. That would make more sense.
  17. First off, your math is pretty bad (2003-1945 = 58 years). He also mortgaged the team's future for that one playoff run and crippled the Cubs going forward. Oh, and he's an awful manager. But yeah, we're sad. OH I'M SORRY. He took the Cubs the deepest into the playoffs in 58 years, and won their first playoff series in 100 years. My bad. He didn't cause Alou, Lofton, Sosa, Karros to be old and Alex Gonzalez to be bad. Kerry Wood was doomed to get hurt. Prior? Hopefully he learned his lesson, lol.
  18. Minor league contract with an invite to spring training *Waits for more jokes*
  19. Yeah Dusty took the Cubs farther into the playoffs then they've gone in the last 100 years....boy did you learn the hard way. You guys are sad. If Dusty takes us to the NLCS (like he did with the Cubs) or World Series (like he did with the Giants), I'll be happy.
  20. Keep hoping. Votto for Blanton? Sure. Anything more? No way Why would the A's trade Blanton for one of Cincy's bench players? And it's not like Oakland is short on first basemen. Joey Votto is a bench player for us? That's news to me. He is unless Hatteberg is hurt. You have no idea what you are talking about.
  21. I would be very happy with that return for Blanton. Too bad he's not a reliever or the deal would already be done. It's not going to happen. And. These. Jokes. Are. Not. Funny. At. All.
