Video of the Week

Chris Henry : contract year

Lets say Chris Henry catches 40ish passes this year and scores more than 5 touchdowns and stays out legal trouble. Does he give the Bengals a hometown discount in exchange for the absurd loyalty that the GM showed him or does he shop around his new found good citizen status and receiving talents to the highest bidder.

Huge series win for the home team

Rebounding from a horrible loss on Sunday the Reds cruised into D.C. after a day off and won the first two of a three game set from the dismal "Natinals." These two wins were huge in the fact that this is the first time this season that the Reds are playing a team that they should beat. Not easy for a young team to do. A series loss the the most pathetic team in baseball combined with the futility displayed this past Sunday @ GABP could have sent this young team down a path they could not have recovered from.

high quality hate

I, like a lot of people, believe Chris Berman should walk into a forest fire, and this post and subsequent comments from Kissing Suzy Kolber is simply outstanding for it's quality and quantity of hate.
I enjoyed the comments so much, I joined in the fun.

Reds lay a turd

Brutal, disgusting loss for the Reds team today. They committed three errors and left 87 on base, 56 in extra innings .

Video of the Week

Yes, I used the wrong form of the word there meaning location when I meant their as in the collective possessive in the previous average post. My apologies.

I rarely comment about the Video of the Week, but I find this week's edition fascinating. It so perfectly captures the time it was filmed, 1980, and the stoner rock concert scene. The crowds hair, the lead singers beard and white fro' and his satin jacket with the sleeves pushed up and red silk TANK TOP!! Double exclamation points!! The song itself has one of the great hooks of all time in rock music. You will be hearing it in your head the rest of the day, and rightly so. The lead guitarist brown vest moustache combo is sensational as well as his guitar chops. There is a bass solo, and a drum solo, triggered to strobe lights!! double, double exclamation points!!* And the best/worst feature of this whole production is some dude with a giant Godzilla head standing behind the drummer!! I love exclamation points!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love this video!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Did I mention they sing some of the song in fluent(?) Japanese? No? well they do, and they rock it!
Please enjoy Godzilla preformed live by Blue Oyster Cult



* I'm fairly sure I ripped of double double exclamation points from either Brad Speiser or Bill Simmons or both so...

The Butt-Pirates

I woke up @ 3:00 am on Wednesday morning, and had trouble falling back asleep. Exciting lead for a post, I know. But wait it gets better, or it won't, either way it will be over soon. I emailed my cousin earlier in the day. He is a life long Pirates fan, and I was thinking I should have included something in the email about the Pirates, more specifically how I wish they would just give up all ready, thereby helping out my Reds team. After 47 minutes of not falling asleep, I decided to watch some TV. Turned on ESPN news and within 5 minutes saw the story that Pittspuke traded there all-star center fielder Nate McLouth. My wish came true! Now, for the real meat of this post. How did the Bucos react? Slam doors? Cuss out the manager?
No and No. They light a candle, This from the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. Friday, June 05, 2009
By Dejan Kovacevic, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
In one corner of the Pirates' clubhouse at PNC Park, the small, circular metal table between the stalls of relievers Sean Burnett and Jesse Chavez had a candle lit atop it, adorned by the No. 13 of Nate McLouth and an accompanying photo of him in full uniform.
Strong, strong message sent right there.
I eventually returned to bed and fell blissfully asleep @ 5:45 knowing the Reds are now playing in a 4 team division only to be awoken by my alarm @ six.
