Ken Griffey Jr. Breaks Something Else
Getting an early jump on the season, Ken Griffey Jr. has broken his hand in an off-field accident. He's been a little reluctant with the details of how it happened (which, to me, suggests masturbation) but the Cleveland Plain Dealer quotes "two sources familiar with the situation" as saying the inju...

Ryan Freel's Little Friend
As we deal with the psychological ramifications of last night's backbreaking Cardinals walkoff loss to the Reds, and try to inspire ourselves to watch another game this afternoon, we turn our attention to Reds outfielder/infielder/drunken driver/scrappy hustler Ryan Freel. He's the Pete Rose-type of...

Your Hollywood Minute
There's crazy, and then there's that special brand of crazy that is Reds pitcher Bronson Arroyo.

Reds Fans Not Handling Kearns Trade Well
The first big trade of the baseball season went down yesterday, and, to just from the popular reaction, you'd think the Washington Nationals were in wild-card contention and the Cincinnati Reds were selling off. The Reds traded Austin Kearns and Felipe Lopez, two of their best young hitters, for a...
Desperately Seeking Groundouts
As you've probably heard by now, above is the Match.com profile of Cincinnati Reds pitcher Brian Shackleford, who was released from jail last night and, even worse, sent to the minors after he was arrested following Wednesday's night's loss to the Milwaukee Brewers.

Bronson Arroyo, Rockin' Pitchman
Initially, though we were happy about the Bronson Arroyo to Cincinnati trade, we worried that the harsh transition to "rollicking Boston nightlife" to "downtown closes at midnight" would cause some trouble for the rocking righthander.

Your NL Central "Preview"
Our personal favorite division has had a monotonous feel to it the last few years, with the Cardinals and the Astros advancing and meeting in the NLCS two consecutive times. (This, of course, is fine with us.) We also have a feeling that the NL Central is the only division in baseball with three ...

Arroyo Ready To Take Cincinnati By Storm
