I remeber when Jack McKeon used to manage the Reds

[sasquatch]

I knew then that it was a big mistake when they let him go because he built the reds into the "Big Road Machine" and they thank him by giving him the shaft. Man I hate Reds managmen. Does anyone know how many former reds were in the series?

1. former Reds

Aaron Boone, and McKeon.... GAD, have we got the worst management in the NL or WHAT!? (The O's management is the worst in this Universe)

[sasquatch]

2. You forgot

Gabe White, David Wells and Juan Encarcion :argh: I REALLY HATE REDS MANAGEMENT!!

[WoodrowFan]

3. argh, I did..

SIGH.

4. I remember how Marge got rid of David Wells

cause she didn't like that tattoo he had on his arm (it was of his kid). Oh and she got rid of Davey Johnson as a manager because he was living in sin with his girlfriend

:shrug:

I've been through the best of the Reds and the worse of the Reds. I still love them though - go figure!

5. the good ol days

6. Don't make me cry

:cry: :cry: :cry:

I loved that team

But I also loved those 1990 Reds too. They were a scrappy bunch of of players that took on the "Dynasty" Oakland A's and swepted them. They had the best bullpen with their Nasty Boys: Rob Dibble, Randy Myers and Norm Charlton. I have that entire series on Video Tape and I still watch it from time to time.





edit note: that 1975-6 picture doesn't include centerfield Cesar Geronimo. (the B&W one, not the one in my post)

8. Dibble...

what a meathead! LOL

That was quite a team.... It's been a long 13 years.

9. I loved Rob Dibble!!!

Back when Franco was the closer for the Reds, I onced watch Dibble pitch out a jam that Franco created. This was in Philly and Franco loaded up the bases with no outs. They brought Dibble in and he pitched the most absolutely powerful 3 outs, all strikeouts and many of the strikes were fouls or swing & miss.

I met Dibble in 1991. He allowed me to try on his World Series ring. That guy had ENORMOUS hands!!!

10. Wow. What an incredible lineup that was.

Nice pic

12. Best damned team of all time

With good ol' Sparky leading them to victory(sigh) I would've loved to been alive then. I just love hearing my relatives and old timers tell me about that team.

7. Life long Reds fan here...

Fire Sale!

It's a whole new chapter. Glad they finally cleaned house.

And shit man, don't forget Paul O'neill.

11. I loved Paul O'Neill

Great all around ball player along with Eric Davis. For Christs sakes are the Reds a MLB training team for everyone else in the League.

[ronzo]

13. SO! When are the Reds going to dump Junior?

That's what I want to know.

[sasquatch]

14. I hope they don't

Because he's starting to come back around and I'd like to see him retire as a Red.

16. It might just happen, but who knows what the Reds will do?

15. Here's a new question: are the Reds just a farm team.....
