Well, this not-a-blog that's also not for profit (both said for legal reasons) is gonna be short today. I have some paperwork to finish... And, well, finally getting some stuff behind me. Because of those folks, I just had to...
I'm extremely cranky today. Extremely. We'll just say it's because of, well, I'm sure you can guess. F them. * With last night's performance, the Reds' batting average is .258, which is the league average. Remember when they were last...
So, the first round of All-Star voting has been released, and well, the Reds look like they'll be represented in the Mid-Summer Classic about as well as they've been represented in the Fall Classic since, you know, I was in...
Anyone know a good place to grab a beverage (preferably cheap and good, but, well, good is more important with my current situation) and watch today's big game? And, well, if you don't know what the big game is today,...
So, with Chris Dickerson hitting third and facing a left-hander that's been successful this season, the Reds beat the Astros yesterday. Memorial Day isn't exactly the time to judge a baseball team, but this one is still impressive with whatever...
The girlfriend is making a Coca-Cola cake (so good), and we're headed over to my friend John's for a cookout. Hope you thank someone who made this day possible and perhaps stand over an open fire with some meat on...
From the Reds: Today the Reds placed on the 15-day disabled list, retroactive to 5/17, RHP Edinson Volquez; optioned to Louisville RHP Ramon Ramirez; designated for assignment OF Darnell McDonald; recalled RHP Carlos Fisher (#46) and RHP Homer Bailey (#34);...
* Yeah, I got nothing. Just nervous. I hate having to fight for simple things like being able to do this -- and, well, having lawyers involved. But, well, it could always be worse... * And for that lesson, I...
Just saw this on ProFootballTalk.com -- Priority Sports emailed them this statement about Bengals first-rounder Andre Smith, who has re-hired Alvin Keels as his agent: “In regards to Andre Smith, we are moving forward and devoting all of our attention...
From the Reds: 1B Joey Votto has been diagnosed with an inner ear infection, secondary to the upper respiratory infection (flu) he had last week...all other test results were normal...the Reds expect him to return to the field in the...
A year ago today, I picked up this guy from a rescue group. Every day since then, I've been glad he's here. He's kinda like his owner, sometimes he's going 100 miles per hour, and when he's not, he's at...
Well, at least this year MLB is saying how and where the money from this will go: Major League Baseball Properties, Inc will donate all of the proceeds it receives from the sale of the caps to Welcome Back...
Got a press release on the Sporting News about their Top 50 players in baseball. The panel included 100 baseball people (from Hall of Famers, to award winners and "other personalities") There were no Reds on the list, and...
Joey Votto, I think we all now know, is the key to this Reds team. He's the guy other teams pitch around, he's the guy that strikes fear in other teams -- he's also the guy the other players follow....
The only two veterans who weren't at Tuesday's first day of Bengals organized team activity where Jeremi Johnson and Chad Ochocinco. While Ochocinco's absence was far from unexpected, Johnson has been around lately. "It's his perrogative," Marvin Lewis said of...
OK, well, yeah, still not sure how much I want to do, but my lawyer told me this should be fine. We'll see. It's funny, I'm only asking for what they said they'd give me, but yet, even that is...
This one is a little personal... Last week you may have heard of the Army soldier who shot and killed five people at a counseling center in Iraq. One of the five people killed was a friend of mine, Keith...
Happy George Brett's Birthday! You know it has to be a big day for me to come back... Well, for now, I'm not 100 percent sure what I'm going to do, can do, should do with the blog and otherwise....
Two huge shout-outs to people I know who ran their first marathon this weekend and both qualified for the Boston Marathon. Reds media relations director Rob Butcher ran a 3:28:23 and qualified for Boston. He'd never run a marathon before...
Right, well, let's see... Just to let you know, I'm holding off on some things right now, because I've got a lawyer looking over some things and I'm worried about violating and rules of my severance package, just so you...
