Passing slowly through Purgatory, dragging her wagonfull of Nazi memorabilia while that foul little dog toddles along beside her. One assumes that she had herself interred with all that priceless excretia like an Egyptian queen, along with maybe a can or two of Skyline Chili to keep her provisioned for the long journey through the nether reaches. Gosh, if Dante Alighieri were still alive, he could add an entire canto the to Divina Commedia just about her.

It’s a shame what has happened to this storied franchise. Everything about them is confusing, their front office and their manager included. This is a team who signed F. Cordero for 2 years and 20 million before 08, Who signed R. Hernandez for 8.5 million then re-signed him for another 3 million, who traded for Rolen, 12 million for each last year and this year, and of course the great addition of Willie Tavares for 2.2 million last year. And then they claim they have financial problems. Hmmmm… wonder why Arroyo is confused.
And then add in their manager, who lobbied for Tavares, and played him because he likes guys with low on base percentages because they don’t clog the basepaths. And called Hernandez the glue to his team, even though Hannigan out performed him both offensively and defensively. Seems like the entire organization is screwed up to me. Where’s Marge Schott when we need her?

As usual, Reds management is trying to play it in between, trying to have it both ways. As usual, it won’t work.
The fans are getting tired of the “we’re just a small-market team, we don’t have the resources needed to compete, boo hoo, pity us” talk and the simultaneous financial foolishness. They won’t go big, they won’t go into full rebuilding mode, and they don’t develop enough talent to win.
