Saturday: Faytal Attraction to Twitter
Last week’s crowdsourcing experiment on John Fay’s blog has given rise to a more dangerous creature: The Twitter Mailbag. That’s right. Instead of proving pithy one-word answers on Twitter about Drew Stubbs striking out, John Fay is now providing pithy five word answers about Drew Stubbs striking out on the Enquirer’s website. This won’t have any negative consequences at all. No word yet on when Fay will roll out the Skype mailbag or begin posting responses to Craigslist inquiries.

Sunday: Wood Meets Stick
In today’s edition of "If It’s On MLB Trade Rumors, It Must Be True!" the word on the street is that the Reds were hot on the trail of Kerry Wood until the Cubs swooped out of nowhere and re-signed him. Evidently, Kerry was preparing for his meeting with the poking stick when the Cubs upped their offer to a level where he couldn't refuse. When he learned of the canceled appointment, Reds Medical Director, Dr. Tim Kremchek, shrugged and said, "that’s cool, I was running out of excuses to diagnose people with sports hernias anyway."
* * *
Monday: Suck it, Dioner
Poor Dioner Navarro. First, he signs signs a minor league contract with the Reds. Then, he learns he won’t even get an original meme, nickname, or catchphrase to go along with the job. Finally, his thunder is stolen by Walt Jocketty signing former Cardinal, Scott Rolen Miguel Cairo Russ Springer Jason Isringhausen Edgar Renteria Ryan Ludwick. Who broke this news? Why it was Jon Heyman! Begging the question (and answer):

Tuesday: We've all PIPA'd Down
We can anticipate a relatively quiet week here at RIWIAW since half of our news sources are on mandatory furloughand the other half are blacked out due to SOPA/PIPA protests. That leaves us to our own devices when it comes to providing #OriginalContent. (Evidently, TheFoxNation doesn't have a sports section. Well, it doesn't have a Sports Stories Not Relating To Tim Tebow Section.) This generally results in us acting like we're less underemployed than we really truly are.

Wednesday: Oh, there’s this.
You should probably sign up for that xfinity contest. If you don’t, Scrabbles will continue to post ads for it when he could be productively spending his time looking for .gifs on the internetz. Think I’m joking? Think again.

Thursday: Another Faustian Bargain
The sports world baseball nerds were stunned mildly entertained to discover that Indians starting pitcher Fausto Carmona (editor’s note: I’m surprised this still gets autotagged) was arrested in the Dominican Republic on charges of identity fraud. Turns out that the 28 year old Fausto Carmona is really the 31 year old Roberto Hernandez Heredia. This remains certainly shocking and borderline outrageous news until you find out who negotiated the contract on behalf of Mr. Hernandez Heredia.

this is the part that gets me
You are in the Dominican, trying to figure out how to get off the island. Somebody offers you a deal, presumably; change your identity, make yourself younger, sure I’ll help you, we’ll split the profit, you’ll be famous, just sign right here. No, those aren’t horns on my head, it’s my stylish new Gomes-do.
And after all that, the new name you make up for yourself is Fausto.

That could make it voidable
but the bigger issue (and easier case for the Indians) will likely be the issue regarding the player’s age. In baseball, that’s likely to be a material misrepresentation of fact.
I would think you are right
Fangraphs seems to think this is more difficult than you, myself, Bubba, or Charlie does. But then unless David Cameron is a lawyer he really isn’t that much more qualified to comment on this then we are. Of course between the Players Association and possible legal action the Indians may deem it not worth there time or resources to avoid paying him $7M.

Lying about your age and name is clear-cut fraud
Carmona/Heredia would have a tough case to fight. But his bigger issue, which Cameron hits on, is whether he can get to the U.S. this year. Lying to the government on your immigration applications is a big deal. The pitcher formerly known as Leo Nunez (Fausto sure beats him on pseudonym creativity) is eligible for arbitration but he might not be allowed back in the country.
I'm sure Cameron
thinks he’s more qualified than we are.

As a woman on here
I thought the ‘Sara Watkins is fat" stuff was mean-spirited, but I don’t care if Madville posts pictures of pretty girls. That doesn’t make me feel unwelcome. Also, up until the point of the Sara stuff, I never got a mean vibe from Madville, so I take those postings as an anomaly. I did appreciate that Petey pointed out that it was mean because — it was mean and, um, I don’t like it when people are mean. So everybody be nice!
I don't know why my kids call me that. I think I'm a pretty nice mom.
i understand why those posts struck you the wrong way
i don’t think mads was trying to be mean, but i can see why it would be interpreted that way.
mads is a great guy & is very nice and giving. personal attacks on him are not welcome, and we sure don’t want him to “go away”
I have not attacked Madville, I have criticised his posting.
I think the only thing I said about him personally is that he masturbates to pictures of women athletes, which is not news.
I believe that criticism is valid in an open forum where we value freedom of speech. If Madville can chronically post irrelevant pictures of women to make fun of their faults, even after women here are brave enough to complain, I can reasonably make the point that those posts are unwanted by me.
I like having Madville around, but I prefer having a half-dozen active females on the site.

SSS. And maybe no one else here really cares about losing potential female presence here, maybe that’s just me.

In that thread, I suggested to Mads the idea that he could stop posting pictures of women. My suggestion went green.

That Too Bill !!!!
No offense Uncle W…but gang, would you rather see an occasional pic of an attract female athlete or:
Scott Roland should retire tomorrow.
cmon...this is funny
don’t bring me into this! I like pretty girls and funny gifs!
Fuck lion say what! i got a fuck lion now come fuck wit me
No, don't fuck Petey
Everyone cool out.
Petey, if Mads – or anyone, for that matter – gets out of line, it will be taken care of. If anyone makes you feel uncomfortable or unwelcome, it can be handled privately.

I agree
Mads and Petey are both posters who provide color at Red Reporter.

Charlie, let's keep in mind that the only thing I said in this thread before being cursed out
was “Dude, enough already. You’re being creepy. AGAIN.”
That’s too harsh?
I didn’t say so to attack Mads, but to remind him that this wasn’t cool in my book. I assumed we were on the same page since his apology here, which I thought was sincere at the time.
Not exactly tough-enough language to be considered a personal attack, and not worthy of
“Fuck Petey the Troll”
“Fuck you”
“cock sandwich”
“banish PeteyHendrix”

I appreciate your speaking out
I know it’s not easy. I’ve said before I find it creepy. And I know at least two other women here who are uncomfortable with the cheesecake photos, for various reasons.

ha. i love this quote from our beloved mod ken
Look, I think it’s obvious that most people didn’t care, so I’m not sure why you keep bringing this up. Post what you want.
looks like brian b was at the heart of that issue
he’s yet another red reporter that has mostly been “run off”.
You are leaving out some important quotes there, buddy:
there’s a difference between quasi-porn and a fully clothed woman. I guess both pics are sexist.

Thanks, BF. You're welcome.
Luckily I don’t care what obc and Madville think about anything. I was surprised that ’than defends these actions, though, and that Charlie thought this should be handled privately…even though it never has been and might not be considered by our mods to be important enough to discuss or take action on.

there's no doubt obc & madville came back at you harshly
but i definitely believe you’ve crossed the line with madville. you have basically been following him around calling him names & making masturbation accusations. there’s no doubt you’ve been trolling him. i don’t buy that you’re just trying to be noble & stick up for girls either.
charlie is right, this should not be handled publicly. calling someone out on a forum is not the way to go. we have several very accessible mods that have a solid relationship with madville & can talk to him in a much more effective way. i applaud charlie scrabbles for stepping in on this one.
so yeah, we probably could have done without the use of the f-word, but i’m definitely going to side with madville on this one.
even during the “truce” you thought you were under, you made a /madville’d joke without provocation.
I don't really think anyone cares what I think about this.
But yeah, we know how you both feel. I want you both around, I want EVERYONE around, so let’s all take some deep breaths and go back to wondering when Willie Harris will be called up (I think before July).
"You said 'walks' twice."
"I like walks."
i agree with you. i will post no more about it
also, until today i don’t think i’d ever heard of willie harris. rr thinks he sucks though, so i’m not real keen on the signing
Common ground!
I remembered him from his Nats days (which coincided with my DC days). I didn’t realize he wasn’t Lenny Harris for a while, though.

Same here, my first reaction was scratch my head when I didn't see Cincinnati on his career stats.

Judging by the numbers he's put up in his career so far, I suggest we call him "BOOOOOOOOOOOOO"

You're wrong, 'than, on several points:
I don’t have the time nor interest to “follow him around” calling him names. When I saw Madville post pictures of a gal just to call her fat and worthless, I ironically called him a “fatass,” a joke that wasn’t fabulous. But nowhere else in the past YEAR can you find me chiding him over posting gal pictures, except here and when he posted the “fat” picture essay. So I am not following him around, calling him names. I didn’t call him any names in THIS THREAD, either, but don’t let the facts get in the way of your defending sexist behavior.
I don’t care if you “buy” that I’m trying to stand up for women. That’s what I’m doing, whether you believe it or not.
As for the /Madville’d joke, that is unrelated. It was a one-line joke, it was funny, and it was after Mads and I had made nice HERE.
You can see we’re getting along fine there, until I had the audacity to point out to him today that he was crossing the line again…the only other time I’ve remarked on this activity in the past year. I don’t even call Mads creepy, I just criticize his post for being creepy.

One thing that I would like to see stopped, is the pile on effect
you go after one member of a member of certain cliques on this blog and all the sudden a 7 headed monster comes after you.

I think BF should be able to voice her opinion without being told "well, there's the door"
She’s been here longer than you have.
I don't know why my kids call me that. I think I'm a pretty nice mom.

I went to see amateur professional wrestling last night!
There was a dude wearing camo and a tobaggan that was named “Big Texan.” I was rooting for him because I misheard the announcer and thought he was “Big Chechen.”

A local high school has a terrible
sound system and a kid named Patton who played basketball there. Naturally, they called him “The General.” The system was so bad, though, it sounded like “The dinner roll.”

Amateur professional?
I flew into St. Louis and had dinner at Brazie’s on The Hill. This wrestling expo explains why you weren’t there.
by Brendanukkah on Jan 23, 2012 12:29 AM EST up reply actions
professional style, but amateur wrestlers.
And yes, that’s the ONLY thing keeping me away from The Hill

I was really confused for the first 30 minutes or so of the movie
I kept saying to myself, “I thought this guy was young and blonde? The make up people did a horrible job on this one.” Then I asked Mrs. Scrabbles about it and I said, “wow, the make up people did a great job on this one.”

how was my purchase of a 26 pound gummy bear not mentioned in this?
for shame, RR. for shame.
Brevity is the soul of wit.
So, I just saw a Hank Hill meme that might have physically scarred me
I’d post it, but I don’t want to give anyone nightmares
