IT'S LIKE IT'S 9AM, EXCEPT IT'S 3PM!
-I'm a Josh Hamilton guy, but Josh Hamilton's HR Derby show < Mantle, Ruth, Reggie Jackson, Chambliss, Jeter.

-Lots of time during the broadcast last night talking about how Josh regrets all his tattoos.  He's not alone.  Got a tattoo you regret?

-The Reds are headed to Arizona! No one cares.

-There's no need to fix the All-Star game, but if there was, I'd listen to some of these ideas.

-I like this list of six travesties in sports.  Got any to add to the list?

-Cool read from Doc on TJ.  There is a solution to this. It's a one year deal, then let him break the bank in an uncapped year.

-Brett Favre is becoming a punchline.

-I'm pissed I left Jeff Garcia's wife out of the Top 153.

HELP ME WITH THIS
I saw on Lance's blog that this guy gave the Reds the award for the worst firing of the second half of the season.

Worst Firing: Cincinnati general manager Wayne Krivsky: The Reds fired their GM two weeks into the season. That's a good way to waste an entire winter and spring training worth of planning.

What was the planning? Josh Fogg coming here? Kinda trying to win? Taking Todd Coffey north? Keeping Juan Castro on the roster? Handing Corey Patterson three mill? Need a hand with this one.

JOSH HAMILTON DID THE IMPOSSIBLE
For about five minutes, he made the Home Run Derby relevant, and he made Chris Berman tolerable. But lets's face it, he was hitting batting practice pitches from a 71 year old man. I'm a Josh Hamilton guy, but let's relax for a second.
