2. What a Doofus.Wanna bet the cheap SOB didn't even pay for the ribs?

3. Bench is 60?

Damn, I feel old.

4. I think that is kind of sweet -

esp. since everyone in Oklahoma and baseball knows Johnny is gay.

9. Well he did invite a friend to his house to play ping pong on his wedding night

Best Catcher ever ..... I just hate seeing him w/ Chucklenuts.

5. Oh, shit! The Montgomery Inn is in Montgomery, not Cincinnati. (The Boathouse is in Cinci.)

Montgomery is an eastern suburb of Cincinnati ... and has the BEST barbecued ribs I've ever had. In fact, I had an order shipped up in August ... YUMMY!

Now, the Fecal Fuhrer has soiled even THAT for me!! That lousy piece of shit! :grr: :grr:

Jaysus, he's a creepy looking little critter.

7. Growing up, I enjoyed Johnny Bench and the

rest of the Big Red Machine.

8. Johnny Bench is dead to me

Pete Rose was a gambler and and cheater and Cincinnati sucks.

So does Procter and Gamble.

I'd like to drill my 51 MPH fastball straight into Bush's nuts and have Johnny charged with a passed ball.

10. yuck....

Does a single photo of him exist where he isn't looking like a complete dumbass?
