Thankfully, Jerry Crasnick (former Cincinnati sports writer) actually keeps up with our beloved franchise for the worldwide leader. Solid commentary, too.

They drag you down to their level and beat you with experience. Jamie Ramsey learned this lesson the hard way last night. One of the many reasons I eschew Twitter in favor of this community when it comes to discussing my favorite baseball team.

Ever since the Sumersault, here's Chapman's line: 17 games 15 saves 16.1 IP 34 K (of 60 batters faced) 11 baserunners (7 hits - .333 babip, 3 BB, 1 HBP) as amazing as he was the first 2+ months of the season, he's pitching better than he ever has!

My thoughts following the Broxton trade. Perhaps yours, too.

I've not been around much this season, but a friend just posted this, and while we're all in glee of this streak, enjoy & jam

Folk singer Dan Bern has a new album of baseball songs. There is one about Pete Rose, and one about Dusty's 2002 Giants which is kind of scary/sad. Stream it or purchase it here.

Reds fan John Legend wants you to go to the World Series. That's pretty cool, I think.

Anybody else excited to see what Walt will do at the trading deadline?
