Anyone who questions the FACT that our team is better with Chris Henry is an idiot. Plain & simple. If you didnt notice, the Bengals went 5-3 upon his return. Not to mention, he had a 4 catch, 99 yard game in his return from suspension. And the play of TJ and Chad improved immediately upon Mr. Henrys return. Now that we have a pass catching TE in Ben Utecht and 3 WR who could be a #1 WR on most teams AND  2 pass catching RBs in Watson and Perry as well as our resident bruiser Rudi Johnson, Carson Palmer now has a ton of options to dump a pass to in the rare event (haha) that our offensive offensive line deteriorates.

The reason that mr. Brown  resigned Henry is because he knows that he made a huge mistake when he pre-emptively cut Henry before he knew the facts. The fact was, Chris Henry was wrongly accused of something he didnt do. 

And if the Bengals dont design some plays and utilize Fitzpatricks legs, the Bengals are fools. The guy can run. Carson is a statue who is gonna be on his back quite a bit this year.

"It was amazing....It looked like they were here. I was expecting to see the mothership break through the sky and drop Jay Bruce off in center field.", said one on-looker who saw the strange lights over the city on the morning of the much anticipated debut of the Cincinnati Reds minor league star, Jay Bruce. Bruce who some "conspiracy nuts" say is a Cincinnilluminati off-spring, is also a member of the Bilderberg group and is rumored to have attended meetings at the secretive Bohemian Grove with such dignitaries as Henry Kissinger, Georger Herbert Walker Bush, and Grateful Dead member Phil Lesh.

So whether you like it or not. He's here. And "they" may be with him. I plead with all those who will be sitting in the nose bleed section of GABP tonite to be on the lookout for black helicopters and the dreaded men in black. And I dont mean the Raiders fan(s) who show up at every single professional sporting event, regardless of genre.

Open your eyes people. This is just a ploy to get the season ticket holders to focus on something else. Something happy. Not gas prices. Not war. Not the fact that the Reds are 7 games out of 1st place. But Jay Bruce. The answer to all of our problems. And while your humble author is excited about the overdue call up, I am a bit worried about the baggage that may be accompanying Mr. Bruce to the Queen City.

So beware. Tomorrow is the day when the proverbial **** will hit the fan. Gas prices will skyrocket to $5.00 a gallon, the United Nations will show up at your door to take your guns, and Jay Bruce will be deemed the Anti-Christ. His great baseball skills and his fiery rhetoric will mezmerize all who open eyes and ears.

So some advice: Stock up on food and water. Stock up on ammo. Lock your doors. The revolution is upon us and apparently it WILL BE TELEVISED. On FOX SPORTS! And narrated by George Grande who will come up with cute nicknames for everyone involved! Dont say I didn't warn you.......more to come on that as it develops.

But as far as the "strange lights" go, it turns out some idiot didnt tie down the helium balloon Banks Project banner and it is slowly making its way up I-71 as we speak.

The world is like a ride in an amusement park. And when you choose to go on it you think it's real because that's how powerful our minds are. And the ride goes up and down and round and round. It has thrills and chills and it's very brightly colored and it's very loud and it's fun, for a while. Some people have been on the ride for a long time and they begin to question: "Is this real, or is this just a ride?" And other people have remembered, and they come back to us, they say, "Hey, don't worry, don't be afraid, ever, because this is just a ride." And we kill those people.

It's just a ride and we can change it any time we want. It's only a choice. No effort, no work, no job, no savings and money, a choice, right now, between fear and love. The eyes of fear want you to put bigger locks on your door, buy guns, close yourself off. The eyes of love instead see all of us as one.

Wow. Another great baserunning maneuver by Mr. Dunn. Did you see that? Are you kidding me? For those of you who are at the game and did not hear the BRILLIANT commentary by the "Sneaky Right Hander" or whatever that dip-thong George Grande calls Chris Welsh, allow me to enlighten you. We all know that Adam Dunn cannot play baseball but rather can only hit the ball very hard, not very often. He also seems to either have vision and/or equlibrium problems. When Adam Dunn rounded 3rd on Keppingers hit, I fully expected to see him either A) Completely destroy Jason Kendall or B) attempt to slide.  Neither happened as I am sure you are all aware. Instead he attempted some lame 2-step dance move and then proceeded to fall on his ass. Oh yeah, and he was called "OUT" by the homeplate umpire. And yes, it was a good call. Now, back to the comments made by "Welshy". Instead of bashing Dunn for his lack of hustle, lack of baseball fundamentals, lack of taking his A.D.D. medicine, etc., the damned "Mischevious Southpaw" actually began to blame Joey Votto for not telling Dunn to slide clearly enough. Yes, thats right. Joey Votto was clearly telling Dunn to slide, but just not good enough for Dunns un-Texas sized brain to decipher. Thank G-d Marty Jr. was there to add some logic to the conversation and say that Dunn probably couldnt see Votto telling him to slide. At any rate, all Dunn has to do is look where he is running (home plate) and notice that Kendall was waiting for the incoming play at the plate. Now sometimes catchers will do this even when there is not going to be a play at the plate. But I would imagine any catcher with half a brain would not attempt the "fake" with man-beast Adum Dunn bearing down on them. Okay, im done, you get the point. I have been saying it for years: Dunn cannot run the bases correctly. He lacks baseball fundamentals. Please, trade him while we still can. I cant take his crap anymore.
