A: Yes, a lot. Too much. I just start thinking about a lot of things but don't tell my coach. He would probably get mad, but I definitely start wandering off. I don't know why. I just do it.Q: What is the coolest prank you have ever done?
A: My roommate was sleeping and I wanted to mess around with his hair. So I shaved half of his hair and made a U on the other half.Favorites

Not sure
if we should sign anyone whose favorite animal is a lion. The correct answer is clearly platypus. This kid already lacks hustle and grit.
82 wins is gonna change everything!
What if it is a fuck lion?

I'm more concerned about the last answer.
But then again, what kind of question is that? Millard Fillmore all the way, baby.

I always liked W.H. Harrison
he had the decency to die within a month or 2 of taking office, and he’s a Cincy boy.

Maybe he thought they meant
favorite current President. I like Andrew Jackson. That guy could knew how to party.
Bruce Bonser? Boone Bonser? Boot Bonser? BOOSE BONZER?
Even if it was favorite current president
he could have had the dignity to abstain.
Bend over and drop your pants, Mr. Babar.

With a Nationals farm team? Get out!
If Bowden is doing this as a massive prank, it’s long passed the point of being funny.
At the moment, they’ve got William Bergolla too, I see.

How can such a good looking man be so bad at getting to first base?
soooo...
is anyone else worried about Lotzkar? it seems to me that, looking over the events of the last week, some real nasty voodoo is afoot. hopefully it isnt serious, but the way things are going i wouldnt be surprised if his right arm had turned into a frog.

Here's his latest baseball card
You can tell your uncle stuff that you could not tell your dad. That is kind of the role of an uncle. I feel very much like a father sometimes but sometimes I feel like a teammate.

this isn't really worth a whole fanpost, but I think you ought to know
I had that old “Hey Leonardo” song (she likes me for me!) stuck in my head at work today, so naturally, the first thing I did when I got back was do some youtubing and wikipediaing. It turns out that Blessid Union of Souls is from Morrow, Ohio. And yes, that’s how they spelled Blessid.
Anyways, it also turns out they made a baseball-themed album for the Reds in 2003. If anything sums up the Reds’ 2003 season, its that BUoS made an album for them 4 years after their hit single.
The single off of the album is especially apt for the Reds’ pitchers that year…treat yourself to “Go Home”
...because there's already someone posing as Jacob Brumfield
I work with the drummer from Blessid
Good guy. And we rode him like a mule over the awfulness that was that album. :)

they play one of the songs at the park all the time
Everybody’s goin’ downtown to watch the reds! Yeah Yeah Yeah!
