Faith In Francona

[kevin]

I remember the corny, In Dusty, We Trusty, when he got hired. I can say that I'm more excited about Terry Francona coming in than I ever was about Dusty or Bell. The biggest off season move Reds made was brining in the guy who managed Boston to their first World Championship in 100 years. I saw the difference when Sparky came into Cincy and into Detroit. If Francona could win with always loser Boston, he can win in Cincy.

Faith In Francona is my motto going into 2025.

I was stoked when we got him. 1. Just getting rid of Bell. 2. Great Mgr. 3. Hoping it would be a different (going after good Players) offseason.

On point 3. doesn't seem like much is gonna change.

I'm afraid we're never going to do anything under current ownership.

The Castellinis are worse than the Brown family by leaps and bounds. They are big fish in a small pond that are draining money and morale from this once-proud fanbase like ticks on Dracula. The other investors are parasites as well. Fleas compared to Bob and Phil's ticks, but still vermin.

It's becoming pretty apparent that they aren't making an upgrade in the outfield, which is absolutely criminal. They are now at their limit.

They will waste the window with Greene and Elly. We will have the same thing to show for it that we always do.

Owners gonna get paid, fans gonna get the same trash as always.
