Reds didn't trade for Cliff Lee... (FALSE ALARM)

[redsrbetter]

Lance just reported on 700 WLW!

Yonder Alonso, Chris Heisey, and Travis Wood...

[redsrbetter]

Are you kidding me???

Lance just reported this as an "exercise" to see fan reaction. Job in jeopardy? Wow!

[redsrbetter]

I had a bad taste in my mouth with the supposed haul the M's were getting. But then to hear that a radio guy was just playing games...I got extremely pissed!

Then again, what an exercise. I don't respect it. But it flat out worked. Had my heart racing. Had me actually questioning Walt's ability, or lack thereof, to make a deadline deal in time to make good circumstance on the division race. Either way, got a spin out of me. Yet I am alarmed at the unprofessionalism. I mean, as a poster on the internet, I would not perform such a fiasco. Much less a city wide radio show.

Yep, I had to edit the title now too. You just had to hear how he played this up. It was insane. He even went to break with saying there was breaking Reds news that he had to get together and he would be back after commercial. Had everyone going.

Huh? What?

[HollywoodLeo]

From what I gather, some idiot Cincinnati radio host reported that the Reds traded for Cliff Lee even though it didn't happen just to gauge what the fan reaction would be to the (false) news.

Internet trolling has made it to radio. Go figure.

[Kingdom]

joek is the prime suspect.

[missionhockey21]

He trolled the **** out of Cincinnati. Imagine the people who sent texts and stuff talking about this breaking "news." Wow.

Lance McAlister has always been a straight up guy. However, this was a douchebag move that should have never been done, EVER! Hope he gets some sort of reprimand or at least publicly apologizes for it.

[Slyder]

I hope the guy loses what little audience he has. Should be fired on the spot.
