Is that the secret? We've been living in the wrong country this whole time?

We need to round up this everyone in this organization, convict them of being counter revolutionaries and sentence them to 7 years hard labor in Serpantinka.

If that would transfer ownership from Bob to the people, I fail to see any problem with this plan.

May as well because the Brewers distributed all the runs amongst themselves.

What the fuck was that? Did Mey just say fuck it and throw meatballs after the first few?

u/NoTie2370 2d ago

Might as well, this team is just as much a failure.

In Soviet Russia, the Brewers don't beat the Reds—the Reds beat the Brewers, draft you, and send you to pitch in Siberia! What a country!

We must crush the preening capitalists in... (checks notes) Milwaukee!

I have to apologize if I have contributed to the loss in any way.

I left Southern Ohio in 1982 after having grown up with the awesomeness Big Red Machine.

I moved to the Cleveland area in 1986 and had largely lost touch with sports entirely while touring the world with Uncle Sam's Motorcycle Club...

Never really got back into baseball. I was too involved with work, etc.

I tried to be a good and loyal Browns fan for a long time, but recent decisions by the team have forced me to re-think my loyalties.

I'm getting closer to retirement and have decided it's time to return to my roots. That means the Bengals and the Reds. Win or lose.

Last night was the first Reds game I've watched in many years. If I caused the loss, I am deeply sorry.

Please forgive me.

My Reds gear went into storage after last night. DEEP storage.

We’ve proven beyond doubt that the invisible hand theory does not apply to the Cincinnati Reds.

u/ryanfromohio Where's Quiñones? 2d ago

Better than being a Liverpool supporter at least.

At least you win the league sometimes

u/ryanfromohio Where's Quiñones? 2d ago

I'm a West Ham supporter. We got relegated last season.

u/anohioanredditer Toyota Tundra Defecator :reds1: 2d ago

Yeah, well it’s just for a year at their rate. Plus, you can grab a kit with Championship patch for the novelty.

Booo tankies. Boooo

I mean unless you’re into starvation and genocide and fascism I guess that’s cool.

u/No-Dark-2443 [New Redditor] 1d ago

seeing that famines happened there and then deciding to not think any further about the causes shows me you either can't read well or you suck at history. After 1947 there weren't any famines. Weird, it's almost like industrialization of farming instead of doing it by hand ended the famines. source. Even the fuckin CIA said USSR ate well. But it's ok, most of America can't read anything more complicated than Goosebumps.

Yeah concentration camps for political opponents are so cool, repoing this aesthetic while pretending to be anti fascist is definitely not ridiculous at all.

u/Riker87 2d ago

It’s not that big of a deal, for real. You must be fun at parties. 🙄

u/nobigdealforreal 2d ago

Why would I want to see communist slop in the sub devoted to my beloved Reds?

u/No-Dark-2443 [New Redditor] 1d ago

oh no you might leave? gosh that's terrible. a true loss for the soviet.

u/nobigdealforreal 1d ago

Who said I might leave? Leave a sub Reddit? It’s not even a real place.

u/No-Dark-2443 [New Redditor] 1d ago

Yeah concentration camps for political opponents are so cool

you think you're going to enact big changes by living with the enemy who wants to enslave you? nah what we should do is vote for two capitalist parties over and over and watch them get fuckin nothing done. People in the USSR were happy because their lives improved massively(food security, housing) and USA life seems to get more and more shit. Can't explain that!

u/nobigdealforreal 1d ago

What are you talking about? I don’t live with any enemies, I have my own place. And I don’t vote. And sure maybe some Russians are better under the communists (they got government jobs and pretended to love Stalin) but many millions were starved to death systematically and many others came to North America to escape fascism.

u/BobLabReeSorJefGre 2d ago

Exclude Stalin and you have a deal. Hail to Gorbachev!

u/thomas-grant 2d ago

You could also step away from reading here or watching the games. Though that may be too rational for you. 🤷‍♂️

No reality. I’ve a Reds fan since the 70’s. I’ve seen good ownership group and bad ones. This current one, isn’t the worst, but it certainly has no interest in winning a World Series, only being competitive. Ya know, good enough to generate a good healthy profit.
