• Commented on Thinking out loud 6.3.10
  Michael, yours is a fairly-common sentiment regarding The Wire's first few episodes. I recommend watching all the way through Season 1. Truly, the scope of the entire series doesn't become clear until the 4th or even final season, but it's...
• Commented on Thinking out loud 5.7.10
  CTR, FWIW I didn't sense any racism, subconscious or otherwise, in your articles, but that's because your readers know you to be the thoughtful, self-aware, self-critical person you are. Lance McCallister is none of these things IMO. He's a blowhard...
• Commented on Decisions delayed
  I agree, and Dusty seemed to be heading off would-be criticism today when he defended Wood's command problems by saying he's always been a command guy and he's just pressing now. It was almost as though the decision was already...
• Commented on Decisions delayed
  Is your read just based on the "more to it" being an indication that Leake needs to get into the grind of being a big leaguer (aka not just pitching "Friday nights")?...

• Commented on Bearcats: All-decade team
  McElroy should absolutely be on the "Reserve" squad over Gates. Gates had a solid, if unspectacular, freshman season, and appears to have regressed this season, especially as time goes on. Granted, he's only as good as the people who get...
• Commented on Little change, big results
  I hate to double comment here, but I just read Hal's DDN note that covered this same topic. It's crystal clear that the sports journalism on CNATI is tops. Much respect given and due to Mr. McCoy and his HOF...
• Commented on Little change, big results
  Interesting that Jay's comments are all "I" "I" "I" and Dusty is the one that mentions/credits Brook Jacoby. Somehow I doubt CTR got those Jay quotes wrong. Reading between the lines here, Jay struggled when he was healthy, perhaps because...
• Commented on The innocent bystander
  I really like this article, especially how Smith's innocence and kindness may be both virtues and vices in this scenario. However, I do take umbrage with one section. "This would be a perfect time for Smith to become more assertive,...
