A Picture Says a Thousand WordsBy Shantyman Published: February 18, 2007  Print  Email
The only shocking thing about this photo is it does not include an appearance from Adam Dunn or Ken Griffey Jr. Hopefully for All Star Weekend this season they can add a grab ass competition along with the futures game!

View Comments (8) Anthony Munoz's Appetite Makes HeadlinesBy Woodmania Published: February 12, 2007 Print Email I wondered how I missed this: Anthony Munoz ate the Furniture Fair guy. I would've thought that would've led the news or Sports Rock or something. Then I picked up some more headlines from this site: Odell Thurman's addiction problems, Tony Kornheister using a gag from The Office on Joe Theisman, and Chris Sabo's face being seen in household foods. Then I realized maybe this isn't exactly the complete truth. These are headlines from Derf Magazine, a local site that takes potshots at some of the area nesmakers. Unfortunately, a lot of them have been Bengals lately. On top of the ha-ha writings, they also seem to hold parties. I don't get to go out in public all that much so I will have to take their web site's word for it. So it looks like we're not the only folks in town making fun of the Cincinnati sports world. Lately, there's been enough material for a hundred sites so i guess I won't get too threatened. Unless the arrests dry up.View Comments (10) Sorry Beantown, Bronson Is Stayin' In The NatiBy Franny Published: February 8, 2007 Print Email
Tuesday it was Harang's turn, today it was Bronson Arroyo's turn to ca$h in and sign an extended contract with the Reds. The Oasis worshiping pimp will be throwing his game around town for at least 4 more years and will make a cool $33 mil before incentives. A lot of us thought Arroyo was going to play his time out in Cincinnati and then make an attempt to return to his beloved Boston Red Sox, but Bronson smartly chose to stay in the Queen City and play for a real team. If you've been reading this site over the past 10 months, you know we're all big Bronson fans. Not only is he a great pitcher but he's also the closest thing this city has to a rock star. Great teams always seem to have 2 or 3 stud pitchers that are fixtures in the organization year after year, it's good to see B-Cast and Krivdawg locking down Harang and Arroyo long term to keep these studs in Cincinnati. Go Reds! View Comments (7) Will Johnson Show His Johnson?By Franny Published: February 8, 2007 Print Email
Thought you'd have to wait until next fall to see another Ocho Cinco endzone celebration? You were wrong. Apparently Johnson plans to perform The Full Monty at this year's pro bowl: "I almost broke that thing down. I almost started dancin' ... but I don't wanna show my celebration too early. Cuz I plan to take -- I plan to strip. I'm takin' it all off." Sure this is another one Johnson's tricks, similar to his 2005 promise of celebrating with a live deer, but he certainly does give us all reason to watch the Pro Bowl. Personally I enjoy kicking back with a few mai-tais and just listening to the players interact with one another. People who say the game should be cancelled just don't get it. It's not about the game, it's about seeing your favorite NFL stars goof around and show personality. View Comments (7) Marty Brennaman Is A Playa HataBy Franny Published: February 7, 2007 Print Email
What about outfielder Adam Dunn (40 home runs, 92 runs-batted in in 2006)? Could he be the key? Brennaman: "I am pretty close to giving up on Adam Dunn. I don't know if he is capable of changing his approach to the plate, based on what the count is, and can be happy with shortening his swing, hitting the ball the other way and showing a measure of discipline. I am at the point where I don't know if it can happen. He is a guy who drove in five runs in the month of September last year and didn't even get to 100 runs batted-in. "People constantly ask if the club is trying to trade him. I think this team waited one year too long to try and trade him. If they had traded him after 2005, they would have got something good. I don't think there was a team in baseball that had any interest in him after last year. "He is going to make $10 million this year. I get tired of people saying he hits 40 home runs and drives in 100 runs. Wonderful. This is a guy who should hit 50 plus home runs and should drive in 130 runs or more every single year. And he can't do it because he leads the world in strikeouts. I think he was overweight last year. He walks to his position. He walks off the field. You see no energy whatsoever and that disappoints the heck out of me."
Right now I am in my annual pre-spring-training "this is the year old Dunner stops striking out so many fucking times" mode. He's a special & unique talent but probably needs to lay off the Twinkees and start focusing on becoming smarter at the plate. If he wants to impress Marty, he's got to produce some very ridiculous numbers. Article originally featured on The Red Reporter website. View Comments (9) Reds Show Harang The MoneyBy Franny Published: February 6, 2007 Print Email
Major dap to Wayne Krivsky and Bob Castellini for constructing a long-term deal to keep the Reds' best starting pitcher, Aaron "Doo Doo Brown" Harang, in Cincinnati for at least 4 more years. Harang signed a $36.5 million dollar deal that will essentially make him the highest paid pitcher in Reds history. That last statement isn't really saying much considering how cheap this franchise has been historically, but nevertheless it appears to me that both sides are extremely pleased at how things worked out and Reds fans should be thrilled. We all know about Harang's brilliant 2006 season where he led the NL in strikeouts AND wins but what impresses me most about the guy is his improvement year after year: 2004- ERA: 4.86 SO: 125 IP: 161.0 2005- ERA: 3.83 SO: 163 IP: 211.2 2006- ERA: 3.76 SO: 216 IP: 234.1 At age 28, we can only assume Harang will improve on those numbers as he approaches the prime of his career. As Castellini mentioned during the press conference, Harang has great character and he's not prone to injury. He'll be a great mentor for Homer Bailey and he eats up innings. In my opinion, this deal was a no brainer.
I'm pretty excited about the 2007 Reds starting rotation. Harang, Arroyo, Milton, and Lohse will make a solid starting four. Throw stud rookie Homer Bailey into the mix in May or June and you have a very competitive group. Now if B-Cast and Krivs can find a dependable closer and some bats, the Reds won't have to bribe me with $1 hot dogs deals to get my azz down to GABP View Comments (8) Better Know A Prospect: The Fightin' Tyler!By Woodmania Published: February 5, 2007 Print EmailCincinnati Sports is taking a look at some of the players in the NFL Draft during our Better Know A Prospect series. The 2006 season is officially over, so why waste time in the past? Let's get started on the next year. Who should we start with? How about a guy who's name might be called when the Bengals are on the clock.
More often than not you have some major questions about a prospect when he really doesn't emerge until his senior year but "Tank" actually has a legitimate excuse. You see prior to 2006 he played alongside not one, not two but three guys who were first round picks in the 2006 NFL Draft (Mario Williams, Manny Lawson, John McCargo) and it really speaks volumes that he had his best season without the benefit of being surrounded by all of that pro talent. Perhaps no player boosted his draft stock as much as Tyler did last yearThere's the "C" Word Again: What's the kid's character like? According to his DraftTracker Playing Card, Tyler brgins some baggage with him both on and off the field. "He was arrested in 2005 for assaulting a police officer in a Raleigh, NC nightclub and he was ejected from the Southern Miss game in 2006 for "spitting". Also some concerns regarding mental capacity after poor score on Wonderlic Test (13)." Sounds like a perfect candidate for the 2006 team. Will 2007 be different? Woody's Take: Drafting a guy named "Tank" sounds like a great idea or a bad idea. I personally thought last year's NC State defensive linemen class was overrated. But if he did better without those guys around him,maybe he's got what it takes to play in the NFL. I honestly don't see Marvin Lewis taking a DT in the first round. He hasn't reached for that position before the fourth round before and it wouldn't surprise me if that trend continued.

It looks like the Reds got right back into the swing of things for Spring Training in 2007. If you don't know what I am referring to, take a look at the picture and then 
Besides having an eye for the ladies, the one thing Reds' hall of fame broadcaster Marty Brennaman has in common with Rosie O'donnell is that both have no problem speaking their minds. Case in point - Marty's Q&A with Danville KY's
