I had just left a reds game a few days ago and while i was in an elevator, this guy started talking about how he had heard that Corey Patterson (29 years old) was dating Dusty's daughter, Natosha (28 years old i think)... He then went on to talk about how he heard that this is why Dusty keeps him on the roster... Now i can't say i have heard this from anyone else, so its hard for me to believe, but has anyone heard of anything like this???

Oh yeah -- I was in that same elevator - the one that goes up and down

Should anyone at all be surprised at this?Why else would you give this POS a 3.5 mm salary when he could have been signed for 1mm with incentives "halfway" through ST.

Well, he hits Gimpy third "out of respect", so it wouldn't surprise me if he makes other moves based on non-baseball factors.

Please explain how many times Patterson's played in the last two weeks.

Do this before bashing Dusty on keeping him on the roster. Corey's barely touched the field.

CP has "touched" the field waaaaay too much this year prior to the past 2 weeks.....nuff said.

Doesn't matter how much he plays these last few weeks. Dusty keeps him on the roster to keep an eye on him. A daughter's father's dream.

that really sounds like a reach to me,BUT if it turned out to be true dusty should be fired on the spot and never be allowed to manage a team again.

Would that be anything like betting on baseball?

10x worse

elf, would it be an issue for you if it were hot-hitting hairston instead of patterson she were supposedly dating? Would you be calling for an investigation?

BINGO

"BINGO"

Snicker.

Hairston isn't getting unwarranted playing time, as Patterson did for much of the season.
