The Reds have only managed one winning season this decade and the Bengals may get moved to the California Penal League with the number of players arrested the past few years and have sucked for most of the last two decades.<BR/><BR/>It is interesting how Mr. Griffey is Mr. Nice Guy and gets a seemingly free pass on the steroid issue. Meanwhile, Mr. Bonds is a lying scumbag asshole who took steroids by the truckload and all his statistics require an asterisk. <BR/><BR/>Personally, I have never met Barry Bonds. I do not know if he is the prick and locker room cancer that the media make him out to be or just someone who does not like talking to the media and is therefore branded an asshole. But I am so fed up with everyone saying that he cheated. As Slut wrote, prior to 2003 steroids were not illegal. (And do not even think about using the "unwritten rules" line on me.) How are you cheating if there is no written rule you are breaking? <BR/><BR/>As far as Griffey not getting the love from Cinci fans, he has not really been an All-Star player since he arrived from Seattle. Since 2000, he has only played in 65% of the games with averages of .273/.363/.524. In Seattle, his averages were .299/.380/.569. Remember, he was 30 when he came to Reds, so it is not unreasonable to have see the average diminish over time. <BR/><BR/>Daugherty seems upset the Griffey only ranks third among NL outfielders. Without looking at the rest of the league's statistics, I am pretty sure that Griffey does not rank third among outfielders at this point. I could go on a rant regarding the All-Star voting, but we'll save that for another day.<BR/><BR/>I also like the list of superstars not loved Mr. Daugherty chose. Slut quite easily named three who have been loved by Reds fans. Are you trying to tell me, Mr. Daugherty, that Cinci did not show love to Dave Concepcion, Frank Robinson, Ted Kluszewski, Fred Hutchinson, or Tony Perez? You should know them as they have all had their numbers retired by the Reds! I am not a Reds fan or Reds historian, but I think it would be safe to say these players were superstars in their times and were quite loved by their fans.<BR/><BR/>The reason Griffey and the Reds have not gotten much love as of late is because (1) they've sucked for too long, (2) you built a lame-o stadium, and (3) Griffey has not been All-Star material since before my daughter was born.<BR/><BR/>To quote a line from Major League - "They're still shitty!"Zinglebert Bembledackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08238936864046760170noreply@blogger.com
