The Singing Bush

That's fair, but this team is bad and the season is already lost. I'd have rather had some laughs along the way.

better, weirder options

The Flacco signing really robbed us of a completely bananas year of Jameis with the Bengals.

Again I'm not arguing that he's going to be better than you think he is, I think the Reds do though

Uh oh, you know there's some folks in the Reds dugout who are really into bat-only contact approach.

I'm not really directing this at you but how can you only be a LFer? How can RF be so foreign that you can't swing over there and figure it out pretty quickly.

"oh shit how does earth's gravitational pull work over here, what do I do?"

I'm not sure he's as far down as you think. He arguably outperformed Sal at Chattanooga but his BABIP took a hit at Louisville. Maybe Hinds ends up on the OD roster but I'm not sure Hector is too far behind him.

To be clear I don't think it's what the Reds should do, but it's probably what they're going to do because it's the cheap and easy option.

All aboard the Héctor train (because all the other trains don't have a stop in Cincinnati)

I'm sorry

I don't even know who's behind Browning but what's the worst that could happen if you give him a shot the rest of the game?

It's a short one but post '93 strike through the Sosa/McGwire HR chase was an exceptionally bad stretch

I'm sorry but a David Bell team would have just kept sliding during that late August/early September skid and they would have ended up 4 games under .500

Might I submit the Batman TV show theme song?

If you want to get young kids in to collecting, this is how you do it. And nobody's going to care if flagship base has a print run of 2 million instead of 1 million

I've been saying forever they should just have flagship base packs for $0.50 again. No inserts, no parallels, just base, and have them on checkout shelves next to candy bars

Crazy that they didn't give him a card until 1988

Also the #BengalsROHCollection is going to be so much easier than the Reds. There are only 11 guys and the team wasn't around in the 19th century

Like my #RedsHOFCollection, I started a #BengalsROHCollection as well.

First up is Tim Krumrie. It's not really fair to him that his legacy is his leg flopping around like a pool noodle in the Super Bowl but that's what happens when you're 8 years old and they show the replay 20 times

You have to throw a 'pal' at the end for full effect - "you got some nerve, pal!"

I think it may be a case of Panini being on the final year of their license and cranking the printing presses up to 11.

I know it's unlicensed but the Topps NBA seems to have a blaster or 2 on the shelf, but not a ton like Panini. My guess is Topps tries to maintain that kind of supply

He has just good enough L/R splits that they're going to talk themselves into it

Why pay for an established RH power bat when you have a 21-year-old lefty in AAA? Welcome to Cincinnati, kid.

Can I interest you in Hector Rodriguez? Because I think we're getting Hector Rodriguez

at 285 lbs he would be one of if not the lightest OL in the NFL. Which really puts into perspective how huge those guys are.

OK we're all a little emotional and bummed out here but let's not start saying crazy stuff.

He hasn't made it out of the 5th inning in 4 of his last 7 starts. He's obviously gassed, and short rest + gassed is a bad combo

I have intentionally avoided learning the rules and it has greatly improved my enjoyment of the game.

I played and reffed water polo for 25 years. I'm keenly aware of the quality of officiating that reaches the middle school level, and I'm not interested in getting mad during these games.

I'm not on year 3 of watching my kids play middle school field hockey, a game that appears to have these two foundational concepts:

1. Fuck you if you're left handed
2. Godzilla is goalie

Instead of watching wrestling you should be wrestling with the fact that we have a dang cheetoh in the White House
