<!--quoteo--><div class='quotetop'>QUOTE <!--quotec-->Speaking of Byrd, he said he found nothing untoward about the Reds’ Joey Votto not wanting to pat a Cub on the back after Byrd helped the NL win the All-Star Game the other night.
“That’s just the competitiveness in Joey Votto,” Marlon said. “He’s an MVP candidate right now. He’s going to say what he believes. At the same time, I don’t think any Cub is going to be patting anybody on the Cincinnati Reds on the back.”
Byrd later was laughing because he said <b>he probably talked with Votto more than he did with anybody else during the all-star festivities.</b><!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->

That must've been torture.

I like Votto. His comments have not changed my mind. I like that he doesn't like one of his rivals and has the courage to say so. It's refreshing.

So I guess the fact that he was paling around with Byrd for the 2 days makes him a courageous weasel?

I was at 2 of those games in Cincy, so I guess I'm part of the problem. Now, I'm really loving the fact that we got under this douche's skin from day 1.

Reds fans have always been burnt up by that - the stadium is always literally half blue. He's pretty close with the fans, so I guess that's where this is all coming from.

Then be upset with Reds fans for not filling up their own ballpark. His frustration is misguided.

I hope he gets speared in the groin the next time he's at Wrigley. I mean an actual spear, like a javelin, thrown from the stands. I hope he gets speared in the genitals like that kid in "Carrie 2: The Rage."
