Dusty Detroys Aroldis Chapman’s Arm

From The Onion:

CINCINNATI—Within just a few minutes of Cuban pitcher Aroldis Chapman’s arrival in the United States, Reds manager Dusty Baker had already overused and mangled the 21-year-old’s arm beyond recognition, team sources reported Sunday. Baker, who has been accused of overtaxing young pitchers’ arms in the past, reportedly greeted Chapman with a bucket of [...]

I have this same bobblehead on my desk at the office.

Funny stuff

Redleg Nation sponsors a few pages over at Baseball-Reference.com, but none are as funny as these. Good stuff.

Around the Reds Internets

–RR asks whether Walt and Dusty would seriously consider using Wee Willy Taveras in CF again next year.

–Has Paul Daugherty ever written a column that didn’t make him look clueless?

A perfect illustration of why I love OMGReds.com.

Who gave away my secret Cub fandom?

Another Insane Jersey

I tried to post this from GAB during the Saturday night rainfest, but I couldn’t get the picture to upload for some reason. Anyway, here it is…a guy wearing a Mark Wohlers jersey. Awesome.

This joins the pantheon of odd jerseys I’ve seen at games recently. We’re going to start collecting these under the “Insane Jerseys” [...]

Batting Stance Guy

I think we posted this last year, but this guy is getting a bunch of publicity now (funny appearance on Letterman), so I thought I’d put it up again. Hilarious stuff.

I Ain’t No Front-Runner

Here’s the tie I decided to wear to work this morning:

I ain’t no front-runner.

Clearing out the inbox

A number of items here that I haven’t had a chance to mention….

–Greatest headline I’ve seen this year. Hilarious.

–Did you see what The Pujols said about Homer Bailey?

–Justin was asking “What’s wrong with Bronson Arroyo?” even before he stunk up the joint on Sunday.

–A look at the future for the Reds.

–Speaking of the future, Doug [...]
