Ok Jim it's getting a little pathetic

Found January 27, 2009 on Dunn and Dunner:
PLAYERS: Pokey Reese
TEAMS: Washington Nationals,  Cincinnati Reds

Hey Jim Bowden we get it, you really like former Reds.

MASNsports.com:
MASN has named Rob Dibble as the new color commentator for the Washington Nationals. He will join play-by-play man Bob Carpenter in the booth beginning with the 2009 season under a multi-year contract with MASN.

I really have no idea if Jim Bowden even controls who gets hired for the TV broadcast, but one thing I know for sure is it's pretty bad when the list of former Reds that have worked or are working for the Nationals is so long you don't even care to keep track anymore. Is Pokey Reese still in their minors?
