- Jeff Conine is up to some interesting things post baseball.
- Keith Law is fairly high on the Reds.
- This may have already been linked somewhere on Red Reporter, but Jonah Keri recently took an interesting look at the 1990 Reds as a failed dynasty. I really hadn't ever thought about how young that team was, it is kind of surprising how far they fell in '91. Lot of career years in 1990.
- And finally, Bill James took questions over at Freakanomics. Good, pretty much as always.

Excellent links
And Votto in is good news as well.

I wonder if Dusty is punishing Javy
or if he just really likes Paul Bako. Probably a combination of the two, but Paul Bako is way worse than we give him credit for.

He said
he's worried about Arizona's speed. I guess he's going with the guy with the better arm.

Conine
Jeff Conine isn't exactly retired. No, he's training for the 140.6 miles of the Ford Ironman World Championship — 112 biking, 2.4 swimming and 26.2 running. The event will take place Oct. 11 in Kailua-Kona, Hawaii.
Eep! That's my hometown.
According to a press release announcing Conine's plans, his 3,081 career total bases amounted to 277,290 feet worth of running. The Ironman journey consists of 742,368 feet — more than three times his major-league output.
Conine, who turns 42 on June 27, fell 18 hits short of 2,000 in his 17-year career.
Wow. I think I'd have been tempted to play another year, to try and hit 2,000.

Ever watch or participate in the Ironman?
Or maybe get a Mark Allen autograph?

I remember the Ironman...
...mostly an immense annoyance, with huge crowds, crazy traffic, and no parking in our usually sleepy town.

Keith Law getting high on reds?
Is that what they're calling it these days?
Scared by the new look...

In fairness to Keith
He'd just hauled a reefer to Big D and was slowed down on the backslide by a kojak with a kodak. What's your 20, good neighbor, come back...
