Cincinnati Enquirer: OBP is bad, Dusty is good

I swear, I just can't imagine these articles existing in 20 years. This era of sportswriters that stopped learning anything about baseball past their playing days in Little League is going extinct. I'm all for personal flavor, but do you have to be so...dumb? Just plain dumb?

Cinncinati

is just a conservative town, and it always will be.

Maybe in order to understand mankind, we have to look at the word itself: "Mankind". Basically, it's made up of two separate words—"mank" and "ind". What do these words mean? It's a mystery, and that's why so is mankind.

Cincinnati is an idiotic sports town

As vicious and despicable as writers in Boston or NY can be, Cincinnati's are just dumb.

Cincinnati Dumb v. Chicago Tough would be a good battle.

Yeah,

this is pretty dumb. Its pretty funny to read though.

did you ever read about

Marty Brennaman being sick of Adam Dunn hitting 40 homers and driving in 100 a season? Because, you see, Dunn should hit 50 home runs and have 130 RBI. Every year. Also, he doesn't run to his position.

The Reds easily have the worst announcers in Baseball

Jeff Brantley and Thom Brenneman are such assholes.

It pisses me off that Thom brenneman got to call the Boise State-Oklahoma game. Does anybody like him.

Jeff Brantley is a moron

A FLAT-OUT MORON. HE DOESN'T KNOW BEAN TURDS FROM CORN CURDS BUT HIS DOWN HOME CHARM AND STUPID HAIR CUT MAKE HIM FLAT-OUT APPEALING, I SUPPOSE. I FLAT-OUT SUPPOSE.

Thom Brennaman is unbearable. Thom Brennaman working major sporting events disgusts me. He will always, without fail, interject his own idiotic feelings. That's fine if you're Hawk Harrelson, but be a professional on an national broadcast, you self-absorbed dickhead.
