The NFL Asks Pacman Jones To Scare This Year's Rookies Straight
I guess being a 147-time offender in the NFL actually does have its perks.

There Are Two Relievers Who Are Doing Really Absurd Things Right Now

We're at a point in the season when peculiarities morph into real, dependable success. That means we have no choice but to pay attention to Aroldi...
Todd Frazier Can Do Anything Better Than Anyone
OK, this is getting ridiculous. After telling you all about Reds third baseman Todd Frazier's Herculean accomplishments on and off the field, and uncovering his status as the prodigal son of Toms River, N.J., we were pretty certain that the man couldn't get any more like like Bill Brasky. We were wr...

Reds Third Baseman Todd Frazier Is Quickly Becoming A Folk Hero
You may remember reading about the Reds' Todd Frazier last week, when he hit a Jamie Moyer "fastball" out of the park by essentially throwing his bat at the pitch.

Look Mom, No Hands: Home Run Edition
Old Man Moyer will be shaking his cane at kids for days after this one.

Aroldis Chapman Arrested Outside Columbus For Allegedly Driving 93 MPH On A Suspended License
I have a lot of questions with this one. Why is the Reds' presumptive closer 100 miles away from Cincinnati, in Grove City, Ohio, going north on the interstate (that is to say, away from Cincy) at 12:40 a.m. on an off-day? Where was he going at 93 mph? Is he defecting from Cincy?...

Adorable Dog Wins Stupid Contest At Reds Game
This is Treasure, everybody. Treasure's day yesterday probably began as most days do: Lots of eating, sleeping, and pooping—a comfortable, happy monotony occasionally interrupted by scratching, walking, and a few barks out the window at that kid who has the nerve to keep riding up and down the block...
