Cincinnati Reds need to exorcise the demon of the Dat Dude Curse

When you think of the Cincinnati Reds, you have to think about where a curse might come from on the roster. In this incarnation of the Reds there is no likelier place than Dat Dude, Brandon Phiilips. He is a long-time Red, but not a company guy.
Whether it’s complaining about not making as much money as Joey Votto or calling the beat writer fat and worse, Dat Dude, Phillips’ alter ego, is a vindictive, selfish man. That is the type of person who would try to leave some voodoo behind on his way out the door.
Dat Dude is active in the community and on Twitter.
