Yep, and that's your opinion. You're allowed to have it. And vocalize it. Just like Phillips.

We're not bitching, we are just stating our case as to why Phillips comments' were not out of line or untrue.

He's actually hitting .286 this year. Pointing out specific parts of the season to prove how bad someone is, makes you look bad. Like I said, I could call Pujols bad because he struggled for a few weeks.

Who is saying Phillips is bad? He is an All Star and one of the top 5 (at worst) second basemen in the game.

Beginning of May, Martin Prado goes 2 for 25. Yeah, he is really proving his worth.

I get it, you're a die hard Reds fan, and it's tough for you to watch them get smoked at home by the Cards...but what Phllips did was nothing more than immature and attention whoring. First rule in sports trash-talking is that you don't do it if you can't back it up on the field. Now if he comes up with some runners on and hits a bomb or something, then it changes things...until that happens, he's a little bitch.

You said Phillips is proving his worth by going 1-12...aka, he is bad, because 1-12 is bad. So, uh, you did.

What have you done to deserve to call him a little bitch? I know you wouldn't say that to his face in an alley. Now, if you did and then kicked his ass that would change things. :)

Phillips can back it up on the field, just because he had a rough 3 games doesn't mean jack squat other than he struggled against 3 of the better pitchers in the league. That is my point.

And it's not tough for me to watch them get smoked, because it's only 3 games out of 164 games; and the last 10 seasons, on August 10th the Reds have been irrelevant, so the fact that they are a game back of first, even though 3 days ago they were in first, doesn't make me mad at all.

I guess I should have said (again) that he isn't backing up his talk from before game 1 of this series. Calls a team bitches an hour before the series starts and then lays an egg.

You're denfined by your words and actions. He's defined himself as a little bitch by going out of his way to stir things up, then not following through with any actions. So, yeah, he's been a little bitch.

It truly is funny hearing Reds fans and players ***** about the Cardinals *****ing. I never minded the Reds and liked to see them do well, but this huge *****fest about the Cardinals is getting a little ridiculous. Beat them on the field, then worry about beating them in the media. You guys are defending Brandon Phillips to the death for "speaking his mind" as he plays terribly in one of the biggest series he has ever played in and may have psyched himself out with his comments. Come on. Focus on the game. Sure, the Cards, may complain about things. While it doesn't make them right, it also isn't right to go to the media and call them *****es. Beat them on the field.

Who gives a shit if he backs his talk, he correctly called the Cardinals bitches.

Well we agree on a few things. My point is that you don't talk unless you can back it up, and he hasn't. I do hope the Reds keep this Division close and the 2 teams somehow end up in the playoffs (with one getting the Wildcard)...there's a lot of ball to be played.

No, but at this point in the season it's defined by his inablilty to perform after going to the press.

Ha. So my choosing to censor myself somehow makes my point invalid? Relax man, I'm not a member of the St Louis Cardinals. You don't have to take your anger out on me.

Man, everyone needs to lighten up. I implore everyone to head to the fridge, grab a beer, and come back in ten minutes.

Anger? Where is there anger in my post? I just find it funny that you're probably a grown ass man and have to censor bad words on a message board lol
