Remember, today's trade deadline is the non-waiver trade deadline. Other players could go later (like Adam Dunn last year), and Tracy Ringolsby lists Aaron Harang and Bronson Arroyo as possibilities to be dealt as well. With their salaries, they'd likely...

As the Bengals report to camp, we're going to hear the whining. Not that Bengals haven't done enough to lose the benefit of the doubt -- but I'm always amazed at people who bemoan "only the Bengals." We're going to...

Chad Ochocinco hosted a UStream chat on Wednesday and said he'd continue to do it through training camp. As I write this, he's still going -- here's the link, if you're interested. So, if you ever wanted to see Chad...

I sorta talked to Pete Rose last night -- hired by the AP to go to the Green Diamond Gallery where he was speaking, I asked to Pete if he had a second and he said no. I'd already been...

I'm still not sure how anyone can not vote for Rickey Henderson for the Hall of Fame. If there's a no-doubter from my generation, it's Rickey. But Rickey's in, so it doesn't really matter the vote total. That brings up...

First off, this is the last TOL for the week, I'm headed to Atlanta later today and then on to Savannah for a boys' weekend with friends from college. We're gonna go deep sea fishing (otherwise known as drinking on...

Really, this is it? Some video of the Jordan Crawford dunk on LeBron James has been shown on TMZ.com and once again, it shows that the easiest way to control a story is to tell the truth and allow it...

Roger Goodell has said a decision on Michael Vick will be coming soon. For one, I don't care if I ever see him on a football field again. I won't give a dime to any organization that signs him (just...

Very interesting... Phillips benched

Reds manager Dusty Baker benched second baseman Brandon Phillips for Tuesday's game as a result of Phillips not running out a pop-up in the first inning of Monday's loss to the Dodgers, according to the Dayton Daily News' Hal McCoy....

Nothing witty here. Nothing insightful. Nothing much. It's Tuesday, you know? But I got links! * Once again, Brandon Phillips says, "it won't happen again." My money is on it happening again * If you feel bad about the Reds...

Yesterday was only the second time in my life I can remember sitting down and watching golf on purpose. And then, on 18, I yelled at the TV and one of the dogs went into her usual Georgia Bulldog-football-game watching...

All-Star Game thoughts

Some really cool comments from people regarding the All-Star Game and Cincinnati the other day. The best one, I thought, was from freestyle55, who said: Sure it’s a wait, but I wouldn’t mind seeing the Reds get the ASG in...

One of my favorite magazines, Paste, asked its readers to help keep it alive -- not just for subscriptions, but donations. And, for now, it's worked. Is this a way some media can continue? Asking those who value the work...

According to the New York Post, the Mets will get the 2013 All-Star Game. Next year is already Anaheim, then Arizona and Kansas City. The Reds have made no secret for their desire for an All-Star Game. According to the...

When I interviewed for my job at the Cincinnati Post, Mike Phillips, then the editor at the Post, asked me if I thought Pete Rose deserved to be in the Hall of Fame. I said, "He's got 4,256 hits, you...

I've always loved the All-Star Game. I don't watch every play like I used to, and I do get worked up about it too much, but I still love it. I still love it just because of the fond memories...

Well, it's the All-Star break. The Reds, well, to paraphrase Denny Green, they are who we thought they were. I think I remember writing they'd be a tick below .500, the pitching would be better, the bullpen would be better...
Would you take Scott Rolen at third base and in the middle of the Reds' lineup? I might. According to the Toronto Sun, they're looking at it. It makes a lot more sense than the Garrett Atkins rumors. Rolen costs...

Sad, sad day yesterday on Elm Street, and I hope it doesn't continue today. Funny, how people look at this -- I'm going to say this loud and clear. I don't hate anyone at the Enquirer, and don't hate it....

Have I mentioned I hate, hate, hate, hate the sacrifice bunt? Joey Votto leads off the 9th with a double, bringing up Brandon Phillips who has two home runs -- and he sacrifice bunts? Ugh. OK, OK, it worked. But...

Hey, I'm back. I hope you're still around, I hope someone's still around. I don't know. We'll see, I guess. I'm not sure I missed this, but I think I did. But, well, it's been a long week or so...
