Normally, I'm not a negative baseball fan. In this case, however, I can't help it. Phillips' loud, Terrel Owens like mouth is a blight on the baseball community, and we would all be better served if it were sewn shut forever. Cueto ended a man's career by kicking him in the head with his cleats. Neither one deserves to play big league baseball. If these two embody what it means to be a Cincinnati Red, then the organization clearly has no class, and belongs back in the perpetual baseball dumpster from which they arose this season to reach the playoffs.
Let us hope that the influence of good guys like Joey Votto, Scott Rolen, and Walt Jockety can overcome the classless filth of Phillips and Cueto, and help the Reds remember their proud history. Cincinnati is a great baseball town with a great baseball tradition, and I for one do not want to see that tradition trashed by the antics of a few players who are no higher that common street trash.
