Comments on: tHom Brennaman and Chris Welch May or May Not Be Child Pornographers http://hirejimessian.com/index.php/2008/05/08/thom-brenneman-and-chris-welch-may-or-may-not-be-child-pornographers/ One man CAN save the Chicago Cubs franchise.

That's like me saying, "I'm not saying JayBandit is a horrible, wife-beating, racist drunk, because horrible, wife-beating, racist drunks don't frequent HJE anymore. But when you see a guy act like JayBandit does, it USED to make you think, 'Wow. That guy is a horrible, wife-beating, racist drunk.'" If tHom's intention WASN'T to plant a seed of doubt in the minds of Cubs fans and Soto lovers, I'll eat my hat. It's a bullshit ploy from a terrible announcer, and I think Soto (and his fans) should have every right to be infuriated. My point is they shouldn’t have brought up the word “steroids” at all.

They clearly said that BEFORE there was such stringent testing in the minors Soto's numbers would make you suspicious. By saying that one line they were saying "obviously he doesn't do steroids because of the minor league testing". It is a bit of a back-handed compliment, but it is still a compliment. Thus why he says "i don't mean this in a bad way". I don't like the Red's announcers much at all, and it has nothing to do with their most recent run-ins with the cubs...they just are very boring. However, I don't think you should all be lemmings and just get angry when it isn't a reasonable response. I only got the Red's feed of the Cubs game and saw this conversation live, and honestly thought nothing of it. They weren't saying it in a mean way, or anything like that. I think people should go back and read what they said before we start crucifying the guy. Did anyone actually pay attention to what they said rather than simmer in BK’s boiling fury?

We appreciate hearing our fans comments. Ginny Kamp 5/9/08 I hope that's an automated response. If I hear nothing else, I guess the next step is writing an actual letter and if that provides no succor, resorting to a phone call. And the Reds’ reply:

To me, losing the 3o pounds has really helped Soto out. He had been called up before last season and he was a behemoth. He's still a big dude, but now he looks like a healthier big dude. Soto is currently my big man-crush, so I'll definitely be sending an e-mail to the Reds organization.
